Gloriously Glam^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 77| D

5/4

Establishing a pretty good record around at Gowran and didn't need to be at best to resume winning ways in 7-runner claimer there (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago by ½ length from Profit Surge, leading over 1f out. Looks the one to beat again.

Form: 89-0481

Profit Surge^b1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 60

2/1

Seemed to excel herself dropped into a claimer for the first time when ½-length second of 7 to Gloriously Glam at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago. First-time blinkers replace her usual tongue tie.

Form: 2-36632

Mehmar^t,v1⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 58| D

5/1

Not scored since 2024 and has offered little in claimers/handicaps this season, most recently at Dundalk early last month. Hopes pinned on a first-time visor sparking a revival.

Form: 636608

Spirit Of Eagles^p,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 40

8/1

Almost 3 years without a win but stopped the slide and took a step back in the right direction after 3 months off when third of 14 in handicap at Sligo (6.3f, good to soft) earlier in the month. Needs to back that up returned to claiming company.

Form: 050-003

Lismacbryan^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Robert Whearty| T: P Cluskey| OR: 37| D

66/1

Did win a handicap in 2024 but very little to shout about since, shaping as if amiss given how quickly she checked out on her recent Navan return (in cheekpieces). Can only be watched.

Form: 42580-0

Forecasts

Gloriously Glam (8/11), Profit Surge (6/1), Three Sixteen (7/1), Tawaazon (8/1), Spirit Of Eagles (12/1), Mehmar (14/1), Lismacbryan (20/1)

GLORIOUSLY GLAM and Profit Surge finished first and second in a similar event at Gowran 8 days ago and a repeat could well be on the cards with the majority having questions to answer. Spirit of Eagles stopped the slide last time and looks best of the rest in an uninspiring contest.
