(9)

The Holy Apostle²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: B W Duke| OR: 64

(1)

Glen Echo¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 63

50/1

Never a threat in maidens but more realistic chance now handicapping. One to note in the betting.

Form: 070

(8)

Lord Aus^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 63

15/8

Promising sort. Excellent third of 12 on handicap debut at Down Royal (10.5f, good) 12 days ago, having to pick way through. Cheekpieces on first time. One to consider with the step up to 1½m likely to suit.

Form: 8053

Retro Gal⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 61

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 7 in maiden at Gowran (1m, soft) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip now handicapping from an opening mark which isn't obviously generous.

Form: 77-7

(6)

Amethyst Stone¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 60

9/1

Showed more than first time up when sixth of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (1½m) last month. Never a threat over a shorter trip at the Curragh since but his opening mark looks workable based on the Leopardstown form and his yard is going great guns.

Form: 060

(7)

Celestially^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 58

16/1

Modest form. Improved effort when fourth of 13 at Navan on handicap debut. Had an excuse (left with a lot to do) when 5¾ lengths tenth of 11 to Femme Beauty in similar event at Killarney (11f, good) 29 days ago, again left with lot to do. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 00-040

(5)

Royal Sapphire⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 55

66/1

In top hands but hasn't offered any obvious encouragement in his 7 starts. A step up in trip needs to spark improvement.

Form: 000070

(14)

Point Cartwright³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52

14/1

Forecasts

Lord Aus (15/8), Leeward (15/2), Amethyst Stone (9/1), Blissful Bonita (10/1), Servare (10/1), Retro Gal (12/1), Point Cartwright (14/1), Femme Beauty (14/1), Chestnut Palace (14/1), Delusional (14/1), Celestially (16/1), Kirkland Sioux (18/1), Cascade Canyon (18/1), The Holy Apostle (20/1), Glen Echo (50/1), Royal Sapphire (66/1)

The Ger Lyons stable is enjoying a cracking spell and AMETHYST STONE looks interesting from an opening mark of 60. Joseph O'Brien's Kirkland Sioux is another who could come into her own now handicapping, while Lord Aus made a promising start to his handicap career at Down Royal recently and should have more to offer now stepping up to 1½m for the first time.
