Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 91| D

50/1

Saint-Cloud maiden winner last spring for Andrea Fabre before twice making the frame in listed company. Not disgraced on second run for new yard with fourth of 6 in conditions event at Fairyhouse (7f) 14 days ago. Others look better treated at these weights though.

Form: 4300-04

Arryaaf²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 85| D

66/1

A fairly useful 7f winner for Michael Costa but a well-held third of 4 in minor event at Meydan in November. Makes yard/handicap debut after an absence and needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 4313-

Exquisite Acclaim^v⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 83| D

66/1

Resumed winning ways at Dundalk in January but he came in last of 12 in all-weather handicap at Lingfield (1m) in April. Needs to bounce back after a break.

Form: 6-21040

(15)

Indigo Dream¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 83| D

6/1

Strong-travelling sort who was a decisive winner of a Dundalk maiden in December and has continued in good nick, not enjoying a smooth run when eighth of 15 in 7f Cork handicap last time. Possibilities.

Form: 1-32208

(8)

Spacebound⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 83| BF

6/1

Shaped well when runner-up over 7f on his first 2 outings but went too freely when fourth of 15 in maiden at Limerick (1m, 11/10) 62 days ago. Remains with potential on his handicap debut dropping back in trip.

Form: 224

(11)

Collecting Coin^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 81| D

11/1

Fairly useful 7f winner who was in good form this season until cheekpieces tried and only eleventh of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f) 12 days ago. The sort to bounce back quickly.

Form: 35-5430

(4)

Gypsy Queen³⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 80

12/1

Lightly-raced filly who landed 6f maiden at Fairyhouse last May. Off since beating only one on handicap debut at Gowran (7f) 12 months ago so has her fitness to prove.

Form: 518-

(9)

Little Empire⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 80| D

11/1

Reliable sort who won twice last year and having posted a good fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) in late April he looks set to give another good account after a break.

Form: 2-23354

(10)

Spodo Komodo²⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane| OR: 79| C

20/1

Lightly-raced sort who bagged 15-runner maiden here (6f) in September. Off since though so has his fitness to prove for his first go in handicaps.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 87| CD

10/1

Resumed his progress with success in 13-runner handicap over C&D 34 days ago, just holding on having shown a good turn of foot. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly.

Form: 310-281

(1)

Alfred Tennyson^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Hogan| OR: 77| D

22/1

Unreliable type but he turned in one of his better efforts with second of 9 in handicap at Navan (6f) 19 days ago. Needs to back it up off a 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 463472

(3)

Um Wadi^t1⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77

8/1

Winless since her debut in France in 2023. Respectable eighth in 1m handicap at Limerick before facing a very stiff task in Gowran listed event last month. Not out of things for in-form yard back in these calmer waters.

Form: 689-387

(17)

Smoke Them Out³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 76| C

14/1

A dual course winner, including in March. Shaped well when second of 8 in handicap at Cork (7f0 last time so merits consideration.

Form: 86-1602

(12)

Summer Island³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: N Lupini| OR: 74| BF| CD

11/4

Gained a second win of 2026 over C&D in May. Followed it with a very good second of 19 in handicap here (1m) last time. A likely player off the same mark.

Form: 0-16312

(5)

Thru And Thru^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: Rory Devine| OR: 72

25/1

Form: 202-306

(13)

Una Matata²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 71| D

18/1

Bagged 3 7f Dundalk wins between January and March. Posted a solid fifth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f) four weeks ago, having hopeless task from position under 7 lb claimer. Very much one to consider.

Form: 771635

Apache Outlaw^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 70| C| D

14/1

Course winner who caught the eye when fourth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f) 8 days ago, finishing well having been left with lot to do. On a losing run but he merits serious consideration at these weights.

Forecasts

Summer Island (11/4), Indigo Dream (6/1), Spacebound (6/1), Um Wadi (8/1), Invincible Will (10/1), Little Empire (11/1), Collecting Coin (11/1), Gypsy Queen (12/1), Apache Outlaw (14/1), Smoke Them Out (14/1), Una Matata (18/1), Spodo Komodo (20/1), Alfred Tennyson (22/1), Thru And Thru (25/1), Dar Toungi (33/1), Tolebi (50/1), Exquisite Acclaim (66/1), Arryaaf (66/1)

Lots with chances but Adrian McGuinness' APACHE OUTLAW shaped well when a patiently-ridden fourth at Leopardstown last week and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of stablemate Una Matata who rates a big threat. Summer Island, Invincible Will and Spacebound can all have a say too in this highly competitive handicap.
