18/1

Fair form last year. Well below that level when tenth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 20/1) on reappearance 41 days ago but entitled to strip fitter now. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 8450-0

Has been brought along steadily, fifth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (50/1) 27 days ago, not knocked about. Sort who could do better in handicaps.

Form: 0-75

Bear Right¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 63

13/2

Creditable 7 lengths third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (1m, soft) 10 days ago. Likely to be in the mix if showing up in similar form.

(5)

Hambelton²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 63| BF

10/3

Fair maiden. Too free when creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 23 days ago. Capable of going close from this mark if he settles better.

Form: 588-455

Chirac¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane| OR: 62| BF

Cisterna¹¹

5/1

Improved effort when comfortably winning a 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good) last month. Shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 18 in handicap (5/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 11 days ago. Player back up in trip.

Form: 7-05317

Zheleznaya Dama²⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Gavin Ryan| T: B W Duke| OR: 61| BF

20/1

Gambled on when showing much-improved form on handicap debut last September, finishing third of 14 in a Down Royal nursery from a less-than-ideal draw. Needs another close look in the market on her return.

Form: 00083-

(9)

No More Hiding¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 60

9/1

Remains with little solid form and she was agin below her very best when fifth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, soft) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Billy Lee takes the reins again.

Form: 070-95

(11)

Cameclose^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Ryan| T: J Davison| OR: 57

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was blinkered first time and failed to improve ninth of 11 in handicap at Killarney (11f, good, 14/1) 33 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers off, first-time cheekpieces on.

Form: 088-49

(12)

Ochtar Againn¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Killian Leonard| T: M J Byrne| OR: 54

20/1

Showed a lot more on handicap debut when fifth of 14 in 1m Gowran handicap last month. Not in the same form over 9.5f there since and quickly returns to 1m. Still early days.

Form: 7-0050

(6)

18/1

Maiden who was equipped with cheekpieces for the first time when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Gowran (1m, good to soft) 40 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 580540

Push Harder^h⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: C Timmons| OR: 45| BF

22/1

Placed in a Dundalk nursery in December and probably needed comeback run there 5 months later but looks up against it from out of the handicap.

Form: 78053-6

Forecasts

Chirac (16/5), Hambelton (10/3), Clonbun (4/1), Cisterna (5/1), Bear Right (13/2), No More Hiding (9/1), Avec Grand Plaisir (10/1), Cameclose (12/1), Cause I Like You (18/1), Stella Amorosa (18/1), Ochtar Againn (20/1), Zheleznaya Dama (20/1), Schoolyard Days (20/1), Push Harder (22/1)

CISTERNA is given a second chance to show his mark is still workable on the back of his quite comfortable Roscommon success. Hambelton is a possible threat, particularly if settling better. Clonbun and Bear Right complete the shortlist in this open finale.
