Noli Timere^p⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 86| D

4/1

Winner of a Naas maiden and handicap at Navan in August last year. However, she hasn't been able to kick on since, returning from 5 months off when well held in Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh in March. This run should reveal more back down in grade.

Form: 11050-0

Royal Saxo³⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 85| D

66/1

Fairly useful form in France, winning a pair of claimers last year with latest success over 9.5f at Deauville in July. Runner-up in similar event over the same C&D when last seen 10 months ago. Watch for market clues as he makes first run since leaving M. Geisler.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 83| BF| D

12/1

Built on debut promise when landing the odds in a 1m Gowran maiden in May last year. However, failed to improve sent handicapping when sixth of 12 at Leopardstown (9f) the following month. Absent since (gelded) ahead of first outing since leaving D. K. Weld.

Flame Of Forest¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini| OR: 80

12/1

Winner on second start for K. R. Burke last year and good runner-up efforts to end the campaign (handicap debut final outing). Down the field on reappearance, though, and well held at the Curragh (1¼m) on first run for this stable 18 days ago.

Form: 7122-00

Calm The Jets¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 77| D

7/1

Made a winning Rules debut at Dundalk (1m) in January 2025 but hasn't progressed in 3 handicaps this year following a lengthy absence, eleventh of 20 at the Curragh (1¼m) 18 days ago. Drops in grade but others more persuasive.

Form: 1-980

Dragon Of Malta^b,t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 77| C| D

40/1

Successful over 7f and 1m at Listowel in September. Hasn't offered much in 2 outings this season, though, failing to come on for recent run when last of 13 at the same course (6.3f) 10 days ago.

Form: 1130-80

(5)

Earls^b,t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 77| D

11/1

Well below form first 2 starts this season, but got back on track when second of 14 at Roscommon (7.5f) a month ago. Is now only 1 lb above his last winning mark, so could be in the mix with latest effort behind him.

Form: 360-002

Highbury See See¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Slattery| OR: 74| D

9/2

Won twice in handicaps last season, with latest success at the Curragh in October. Ran well when making the frame at Roscommon in May, before a rare-below par effort when eleventh of 19 back at the Curragh 17 days ago.

Form: 1-05040

Monvoe⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 79| CD

6/4

Picked up where he left off when making a winning return over this C&D in April and followed up in good style at Leopardstown. Improved further in defeat when second over 9f at Leopardstown 6 days ago and he's a major player.

Form: 922-112

Fast Tara³

Weight: 9-6| Age: 6

T: P W Flynn J: Adam Grant

Forecasts

Monvoe (6/4), Noli Timere (4/1), Highbury See See (9/2), Fast Tara (11/2), Calm The Jets (7/1), Earls (11/1), Pierre Royal (12/1), Flame Of Forest (12/1), Dragon Of Malta (40/1), Royal Saxo (66/1)

MONVOE has transferred his improvement on all-weather to turf this year and the only 3-y-o in the line-up can make it 3 wins from 4 starts this season. He is taken to get the better of Fast Tara, who had excuses in a listed race last time, while Earls is also considered from a handy mark.
