22/1

Arrives below form, cheekpieces retried when ninth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (1m) 48 days ago. Others appeal more.

Mythical Rock^p²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| OR: 58| BF

6/4

Gained first win at Dundalk in January. Cheekpieces back on and best run for new yard when second of 15 in 1m Limerick handicap 2 days ago. A player off the same mark with headgear retained.

Form: 8-21762

The Rock Factor³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Mullins| OR: 58

28/1

Has been brought along steadily, a patiently-ridden ninth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (1m) last month. Makes handicap debut with more to come. Interesting.

Form: 989

Chipsrdown^v²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 55

7/1

14/1 and visored for 1st time, good second of 16 in handicap over C&D 23 days ago. Needs considering off a 1 lb lower mark here with headgear retained.

Form: 003-502

(15)

Real Petite^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 53| CD

20/1

Finally got off the mark in 16-runner handicap over C&D 11 days ago by 2½ lengths from Queen Aethelflaed. Not taken lightly despite 7 lb weights rise.

Form: 0090-01

Morning Approach³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: W McCreery| OR: 52| D

25/1

Sixteen runs since her last win in 2024 but she fared better than of late with fifth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon 32 days ago. Not out of things if building on it.

Form: 000-005

Simpson's Paradox^b,t⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 48| D

22/1

Winless since 2023. Not best drawn when twentieth of 26 in handicap at the Curragh (1m) in March. Others remain more persuasive though.

Form: 558/6-70

Yorkshire Myth^b1¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: R P Burns| OR: 44

50/1

Ended time with Mick & David Easterby with a solid second at Wolverhampton in October but very low-key start for new yard at Dundalk in January. Blinkers are reached for now.

Hastily¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Killian Leonard| T: Tom McGuinness| OR: 43

125/1

Unreliable sort who arrives out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles this season. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0209-00

Miss Americana⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J M Sheridan| T: C O'Brien| OR: 43| BF

4/1

Bounced back to form under more positive tactics when second of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (1¼m) 7 days ago. Weighted to go well nudged up 2 lb in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Form: 46-2992

(7)

Rock Etoile¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 41| CD

16/1

On a long losing sequence but he posted his best effort this season with third of 16 to Real Petite over C&D 11 days ago. This C&D scorer can't be discounted.

Form: 000003

Bright Image^t²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: C P Donoghue| OR: 40

11/1

Remains a maiden but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 14 in 7f Limerick handicap 2 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 9045/04

Roderick^p¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 47| D

25/1

Won over 1m at Naas last July and one of his best efforts for a while when a close fourth at Leopardstown on Thursday. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Mythical Rock (6/4), Miss Americana (4/1), Queen Aethelflaed (6/1), Chipsrdown (7/1), Bright Image (11/1), Slaney Swagger (12/1), Rock Etoile (16/1), Limbocall (16/1), Real Petite (20/1), The Blue Panther (20/1), Selective Power (22/1), Simpson's Paradox (22/1), Roderick (25/1), Morning Approach (25/1), The Rock Factor (28/1), Yorkshire Myth (50/1), Hastily (125/1)

Lots with chances but THE ROCK FACTOR appeals as a potentially big improver now stepping into handicap company so gets the vote. Mythical Rock is next on the list on the back of a resurgent Limerick second with Real Petite, Miss Americana and Queen Aethelflaed all firmly in the picture too.
