La La Lucrative⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 58| D

9/2

Came good around this time last year and took advantage of a much-reduced mark returning from 6 months off at Listowel on Sunday, clearing right away final 1f. Not an obvious type to follow up off 13 lb higher, though.

Form: 40897-1

Polar Bear^v³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 57| BF| D

15/2

On a long losing run but continues to shape better than the bare results, his rearward position and less than clear run leaving him too far back at Sligo latest. Eased another 2 lb.

Form: 4/00-435

7/2

Back on scoreboard at Dundalk (6f) in March. Not seen to best effect back on turf last 2 starts, well backed when denied a clear run over C&D last week. Remains of firm interest off 3 lb lower.

Just 1-23 overall but has been in consistent form at Dundalk since the autumn and has a slightly lower mark to work with on turf. Shortlisted.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Manoel Marques| T: K P Cotter| OR: 56| BF

25/1

Got off the mark on handicap debut at Dundalk in January but well held there last time and turf form amounts to little.

Whatswrongnow^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Batt Burke| OR: 46

Forecasts

La La Lucrative (11/4), I'm Spartacus (7/2), Polar Bear (5/1), Whatswrongnow (7/1), Sovereign Banter (15/2), Verhoyen (14/1), Platino Bianco (14/1), Subiaco (16/1), Luminessa (25/1), Skillman Ave (25/1), Andosky (25/1), Mini Cotai (25/1), Jampa Ling (33/1), Unfamiliar (33/1), Reponse Finale (33/1), Sunday Sovereign (33/1), Oitentinha (33/1), Glen Breeze (33/1)

I'M SPARTACUS wasn't seen to best effect when well backed over C&D last week and is well worth another chance off 3 lb lower. An elusive first win probably isn't too far away for Polar Bear given how he's been shaping off his reduced mark, while Sovereign Banter has been in good form on the all-weather and has a lower turf mark to work with.
