Je Suis Celebre^p,t1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Jack Kearney| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 71

20/1

Went close in novice at Kempton for Ian Williams at the start of the year. Failed to step up on his debut for the yard switched to turf when eighth of 15 in maiden (16/1, cheekpieces) at Limerick (1m, good to soft) 33 days ago. Now goes handicapping upped further in trip with a tongue tie added.

Form: 4258

Doctor Grace^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 70| D

15/2

Built on previous Dundalk second when winning 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (1½m, good, 11/1) 17 days ago, well positioned under this rider. 5 lb rise probably leaves her vulnerable in follow-up bid.

Form: 049521

(13)

Guy's Girl¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁴⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 69

20/1

Well bred but she isn't progressing, beaten a fair way back from 3 months off when fifth of 12 in maiden (12/1) at Roscommon (1½m, good) 17 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper at least.

Form: 6560-55

(10)

Smithfield³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽²⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 68| BF

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who returned with a good effort when fourth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (1m, good to soft, 9/2) 33 days ago. One to note off the same mark back up in trip.

Form: 24870-4

(5)

Perfect Judgement¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 67

25/1

Won 3 times at Dundalk in winter 2024/25 for Stephen Thorne. Been out of sorts for a while, seventh of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Leopardstown (1m, good) for new trainer 13 days ago.

Form: 58-0047

(9)

Casheldale Lass¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽²⁾| T: A Kinirons| OR: 64| D

11/4

Won twice last summer fitted with cheekpieces and back to form with reappearance under her belt when second of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (1¼m, good, 15/2) under this rider 13 days ago. Nudged back up 3 lb but can go well again under these conditions.

Form: 1167-02

(2)

Out On Friday¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Wesley Joyce| T: P Byrne| OR: 63| C| D

20/1

Won at Roscommon a year ago and shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when bidding to follow up in the same race 10 days ago, weakening when badly hampered approaching 2f out and heavily eased off. Could show more back down in trip now.

Form: 64200-0

(8)

Anchors Away^t1¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Harnett| T: M G Quinn| OR: 62

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden possibly flattered by his Dundalk third at 200/1 in January and well held on handicap debut back there (50/1, 10.7f) 104 days ago. Tongue tie tried back on turf after a break.

Form: 00/0-039

(4)

Proleek Prince¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Aleesha McArdle⁽⁷⁾| T: M Rice| OR: 62

12/1

Without a win since 2024 but has dropped a long way in the weights and not seen to best effect either start this year, eighth of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Leopardstown (1m, good) 13 days ago.

Form: 0600-98

(15)

Rising Sky^b,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hugh Horgan⁽²⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 62

14/1

Got off the mark at Dundalk in March with first-time blinkers and tongue strap combination presumably the catalyst but failed to back that up when eighth of 9 in tougher heat at Musselburgh (12.5f, 18/1) 32 days ago, failing to settle.

Form: 647-718

(14)

Shanlieve²³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rebecca Parsons⁽⁷⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 62

33/1

Well held in maidens/1m Curragh handicap last year. Has a useful pedigree so could have more to offer up in trip and returns with yard among the winners.

Form: 8770-

(3)

Moyassr^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 60

8/1

Won 3 times over 1m at Dundalk in autumn/winter. Took a step back in the right direction on turf when fifth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good, 17/2) 13 days ago.

Form: 115005

(12)

She's Ideal⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 58| BF

6/1

Modest maiden but shaping up well, going close at Sligo then not appearing to get home in the conditions when fourth of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.4f, soft, 9/4) fitted with cheekpieces 9 days ago. Could be ready to strike.

Form: 9/94-424

(16)

Pebble Island^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Cleary| T: J C McConnell| OR: 57

40/1

Yet to win and hasn't matched the pick of his form for Simon & Ed Crisford for this yard, again always behind at the Curragh (7f) 24 days ago.

Form: 479-000

(6)

Hosanna Power^p1⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: D Broad| OR: 49| D

12/1

Just 1 win (for Sir Michael Stoute in 2024 off a mark of 81) to his name and yet to fully fire in Ireland, although much more prominent in the betting when seventh of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.4f, soft, 9/2) 9 days ago. First go in headgear now.

Form: 9-00007

Forecasts

Casheldale Lass (11/4), Smithfield (4/1), She's Ideal (6/1), Doctor Grace (15/2), Moyassr (8/1), Proleek Prince (12/1), Hosanna Power (12/1), Rising Sky (14/1), Out On Friday (20/1), Guy's Girl (20/1), Je Suis Celebre (20/1), Bright N Shine (20/1), Perfect Judgement (25/1), Shanlieve (33/1), Pebble Island (40/1), Anchors Away (66/1)

SHE'S IDEAL is shaping up well and could be set to open her account. Casheldale Lass and the very well-handicapped Hosanna Power, who was the subject of a gamble at Cork last week, are a couple of others to consider.
