Big Dispute²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Kevin Coleman

14/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who finished sixth behind a trio of next-time-out winners in a Cork maiden (28/1) on Flat debut. He's since underlined a solid start for new connections with a pair of in-frame finishes over hurdles and is respected back on the level, especially if supported.

Form: 6

Coul Dreamer¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 73

10/3

Fairly useful winning hurdler who finished third behind a subsequent winner at Killarney (1m, good) last month. Wasn't in the same form at Leopardstown (9f, soft) latest, however, he can be competitive on his Killarney form.

Form: 8/20-039

If Not For Grace²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: L P Cusack

125/1

Offered little on belated debut at Gowran 3 weeks ago.

Mano Chicago^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 80| BF

15/8

Runner-up in a couple of maidens/fifth in a useful handicap prior to running a respectable fourth in a Dundalk maiden on his latest start. He's exposed, but sets a fairly useful standard in a weak race.

Form: 55/2524

Mischievous Fun⁴⁴

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

40/1

Son of Churchill who isn't bred for stamina and now starts out on the Flat having offered nothing in a hurdle/bumper.

Take Me^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 75

17/2

Fair maiden who ran well on the bare form but never looked like finishing any closer than he did when sixth of 12 in a maiden at Dundalk last time.

Form: 5554-06

(6)

Western Bandit^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: A Mullins| OR: 73

14/1

Best effort when fifth in 1m maiden at Limerick in April, though he was again slightly below that form when seventh (behind Take Me) at Dundalk last time.

Form: 0577

(11)

Cuckaloo Hill^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Flannery| OR: 46

66/1

Hasn't bettered modest form in 4 handicaps this year and faces a stiff task at the weights back in maiden company.

Form: 08-0400

Drowsy Maggie

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Gerard Kyne

66/1

James Garfield filly. Half-sister to useful 6f winner How Far and 7f winner Victorious Night. Dam of little account, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Aspen Darlin. Newcomer from small yard isn't an obvious type to make an impact on belated debut.

Harana^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 72

2/1

Well-bred daughter of Ghaiyyath who showed fair form to place on her first 2 starts before running creditably to finish fifth on handicap debut at Leopardstown last time. She's less exposed than most in this field and looks interesting in the context of a weak maiden.

Form: 2-35

Believe Again³⁵

Weight: 9-9| Age: 5

T: S G O'Donnell J: James Ryan

Forecasts

Mano Chicago (15/8), Harana (2/1), Coul Dreamer (10/3), Take Me (17/2), Western Bandit (14/1), Big Dispute (14/1), Mischievous Fun (40/1), Cuckaloo Hill (66/1), Drowsy Maggie (66/1), Believe Again (100/1), If Not For Grace (125/1)

Standard-setter MANO CHICAGO has had plenty of chances to get his head in front but is probably worth another. Harana is less exposed and could give him most to think about, while it'll be interesting to see if there's any support for Big Dispute, whose debut form is working out well.
