Dutch Gold^b1¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade| OR: 69

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Little impact this year but not seen to best effect on last 2 starts and dips into 0-70 company for the first time. Worth a market check with first-time blinkers applied.

Form: 0-00009

Daboya^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 67

6/1

Respectable efforts on all 3 outings in this sphere this year, 6½ lengths fifth of 16 to Obscenity at Gowran on latest. Now below last winning mark, though yard without a win since December.

Form: 165-055

Metamorphic^t¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 67

14/1

Fair maiden who has hasn't kicked on in handicaps at Dundalk on last 2 starts. Step up in trip looks hopeful rather than targeted.

Form: 567359-

Barrogstown Girl⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P Fahey| OR: 66

11/1

Placed twice on the Flat last year and no better than mid-field over hurdles when last seen, but now back on his last winning mark and with the yard among the winners again after a three-month quiet spell.

Form: 542690-

Guy's Girl²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 66

14/1

Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (1¼m, good) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 560-556

(9)

Lagoon Nebula²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: A Kinirons| OR: 65

5/1

Took a step back in right direction when 5½ lengths fourth of 11 to Ballyadam in extended 2m handicap at Listowel in May. A further 1 lb drop leaves her on a handy mark based on the pick of her 2025 efforts, but temperament very much under suspicion.

Form: 4350-54

Wolf Prince⁵⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 64

8/1

Won back-to-back 2m handicaps over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien in 2024 but never landed a blow returning from 2-year absence on debut for these connections in April. Given time to get over that effort and any market support is likely to be significant given his current mark.

Form: 26234/0

Bruant^h1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin| OR: 63

14/1

Hasn't fired on the Flat for current connections but won 10-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (19f) last month and looks likely to go close if able to transfer that performance back to the Flat off career-low mark.

Form: 0000-90

(8)

Eternal Echo³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: David O'Sullivan| OR: 63

18/1

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in the first half of 2025 for Gordon Elliott. Little impact in handful of runs in this sphere, slipping up on handicap debut at Gowran last month.

Form: 3-90U

(16)

Miss Gitana^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 63

13/2

Has made little impact since joining current yard but has dropped below last winning mark and booking of McMonagle looks a sign of intent. Interesting.

Form: 916-098

(11)

Miss Australie¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 62

8/1

Finally got off the mark back up in trip in 16-runner 1½m handicap at Roscommon in May, suited by way race developed. Wasn't in the same form at Limerick last time, though.

Form: 60-0610

(14)

Miss Crinshawn³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 62

9/1

Good efforts when in frame in handicaps last 3 starts, neck second of 13 to Deuteronomy at Cork on latest. Up 4 lb but interesting on debut for new connections and will merit plenty of respect if getting a run. RESERVE.

Form: 670-342

(6)

Makaiah⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 62| D

10/1

Ended 2025 out of sorts but back to form after 6 months off when second of 14 in handicap (17/2) at Roscommon (1½m, good) 9 days ago. Respected from same mark. RESERVE.

Form: 46640-2
