Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Foley| T: A Sexton| OR: 60

12/1

Showed promise on Gowran return but well beaten on both subsequent starts. Back up in trip and the booking of Shane Foley catches the eye.

Form: 00-450

Flagstone Lady²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 55

9/1

Clearly still learning judged on his latest Gowran effort earlier in the month. Upped in trip and could well show much more now handicapping.

Form: 806

A Pretty Penny²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Debbie Cody| OR: 54| CD

7/2

Left previous efforts behind to get off the mark in 13-runner C&D handicap last month, well suited by a step up in trip. Not quite in the same form at Gowran since but could bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 80-5515

Tavarua^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 53

8/1

Got back on track when ninth of 11 in maiden at Down Royal (10.5f, good) last month and could well show more on handicap debut sporting a first-time visor.

Form: 609

Brave Approach¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P Fahey| OR: 47

33/1

Made a winning return to action at Dundalk in March. That effort very much a standout and he was tailed off back on turf at Fairyhouse (1½m, good to soft) 10 days ago.

Form: 09-1770

Rodeo Blues¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 47

9/4

Has taken her form up a notch since sent handicapping, sixth of 17 at Leopardstown (9f, soft) 11 days ago. Yard couldn't be in much better form so she'd be folly to discount.

Form: 09046

Connova²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 45

8/1

Showed little in 3 maidens last year but offered some encouragement upped in trip for her handicap debut/return when fourth of 14 in at Gowran (9.5f, good) 3 weeks ago. May well build on that.

Form: 600-4

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 41

Form: 005-430

Honey Dale²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Mulligan| OR: 40

18/1

Yet to better poor form but ran one of better races when fifth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) 24 days ago. Step up in trip could elicit improvement.

Forecasts

Rodeo Blues (9/4), A Pretty Penny (7/2), Connova (8/1), Tavarua (8/1), Sand Art (8/1), Flagstone Lady (9/1), Sands Castle (12/1), Cause I Like You (18/1), Honey Dale (18/1), Onyeisi (22/1), Wedding Year (28/1), Canon Law (33/1), Perggosa (33/1), Brave Approach (33/1)

Cases can be made for several, but RODEO BLUES has taken her form up a notch since sent handicapping and with her yard in red-hot form, she gets the tentative nod to get off the mark. A Pretty Penny scored over C&D on her penultimate start, and she's put forward as the main threat provided she's able to shrug off a lesser effort since. Tavarua and Honey Dale can fight out minor honours, though Nephin Mountain would put a different slant on things if getting a run.
