Loughrea²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery

16/1

Showed promise when 4¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Playin Cool in a 9f Leopardstown maiden in October. That form has not worked out as well as first anticipated, but the yard is in good nick and he remains capable of better, even if handicaps are likely to prove more his bag.

Form: 5-

(15)

Ryans Hope¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: G A Kingston

150/1

Still green on first start for new yard when seventh of 9 in maiden at Ballinrobe 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. One for handicaps later on.

Form: 3-7

(4)

Zammawar¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Neve Bennett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey

300/1

Has shown little in 5 maiden starts over trips ranging from 6f to 10.5f.

Form: 005-08

Big Cypress²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

4/1

Left his debut effort behind when 1¾ lengths fourth of 10 to God Of Power in a Limerick maiden in April, though he still looked a work in progress. Open to further improvement and, with step up to 1m expected to suit, he looks a major player.

Form: 7-4

Chamonix^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

13/2

Wootton Bassett gelding who has shown a fair level of ability in maidens at the Curragh and Cork and remains open to improvement.

Form: 54

Hassaniya⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan

3/1

Much improved from debut 6 months on when fourth in large-field 1m Curragh maiden on heavy. Can do better again, though others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 8-4

Hello Garda²²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Ryan| T: J J Hanlon

125/1

Went with no promise and beaten long way out. when last of 8 in 1m maiden at Naas in October 2025. Needs to step up markedly on that effort to figure here.

Form: 8-

(13)

Kingcharles²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: Kevin Coleman

100/1

Half-brother to winners up to 1½m but made no impact on debut, finishing 16th of 18 in a Last of 8 in 1¼m maiden at Naas (300/1) last October.

Form: 0

Ravens Can Fly

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

50/1

first foal, dam, 1m winner, half-sister to 7f-1½m winner Kings Gambit. Yard capable of readying one first time up so will need monitoring in the betting.

Form:

Rolltight¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

11/10

Improved markedly on debut when 2¾ lengths second of 16 to Satoyama in a 1m maiden at Gowran on return earlier this month. Open to further improvement and holds leading claims if coping with the relatively quick turnaround.

Form: 8-2

(5)

Roman Sands

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: C P Donoghue

150/1

Romanised gelding. Third foal whose dam was runner-up at 7f/1m and is a half-sister to useful 7f winner Telwaar.

Form:

Time Whisperer

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: L P Cusack

66/1

Time Test gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner and 8.4f-9f winner from a dam who won over 1m. Cost €30,000 as a yearling in November 2023, but yard hardly known for winning newcomers.

Form:

(12)

Uncle Goalie

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: Rory Devine

12/1

Galileo Gold colt who is half-brother to a multiple winner up to 7f abroad by Acclamation: dam, 1¼m winner, sister to smart winner up to 1½m (stayed 16.5f) Forgotten Voice. Fledgling yard have trained a debut winner but likely one for the longer term.

Form:

Flagstone Lady⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan

80/1

Very green when down the field in maiden at Cork on debut last month. Step up in trip will suit on pedigree but will need to take a big step forward and the likelihood is he's just laying a platform for handicaps.

Form: 8

(8)

Little Wing

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: C O'Brien

50/1

50,000 gns yearling. Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to three winners including useful 1m winner Raven's Cry and 1½m-1¾m winner Codiak. Dam a useful French 1½m winner.

Forecasts

Rolltight (11/10), Hassaniya (3/1), Big Cypress (4/1), Chamonix (13/2), Uncle Goalie (12/1), Loughrea (16/1), Little Wing (50/1), Ravens Can Fly (50/1), Time Whisperer (66/1), Flagstone Lady (80/1), Kingcharles (100/1), Hello Garda (125/1), Roman Sands (150/1), Ryans Hope (150/1), Zammawar (300/1)

A chance is taken on BIG CYPRESS, who took a notable step forward from debut on his return last month and is expected to improve for the step up to 1m. Rolltight was runner-up in a similar C&D event a fortnight ago and will prove a major danger if able to build on that performance. Chamonix remains open to improvement and is also respected.
