Orchidaceae²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 90| C| D

11/1

Has won twice since breaking her maiden at this track in 2024, latterly winning a well-run 7f handicap at Fairyhouse this time last year and, while off since finishing down the field at Leopardstown (1m) in September, she's weighted to go well in a race that should be run to suit.

Aviatrice¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 88| BF| D

7/2

Versatile sort who beat a now-smart performer when landing a listed race at Dundalk last November before shaping well when third in a useful sprint at this course on return. Wasn't beaten far in a strong Cork handicap last time, either, and can run a big race back in calmer waters.

Form: 3211-30

Rion Rubette¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 88| D

9/1

Strong-travelling filly arrives following back-to-back victories in 7f Gowran handicaps, getting the better of Greydreambeliever on both occasions, however, a 6 lb rise demands further improvement.

Form: 847-811

Vega's Muse^p⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 86

28/1

Much improved when doubling her tally at Leopardstown on reappearance. That form has taken a few knocks since and, while she had excuses when down mid-field at the same course next time, she was found to be lame at Naas in mid-May.

Form: 613-170

Greydreambeliever¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 85| BF

9/2

Runner-up in a trio of Gowran handicaps this season, going down by a short-head to Rion Rubette on the last of them but, while she's weighted to reverse that form, this looks a deeper race.

Form: 33-2262

Nancy J⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 85| D

14/1

Hasn't added to her 7f debut success for Mrs J. Harrington and, though entitled to come on for her return/stable debut over an inadequate test at this course (6f) in early-April, she probably needs further respite from the handicapper.

Bint Majestic Roi¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 84| C

12/1

Scored over 6f at this course in April before following up over the same trip at Naas but her seventh in a strong Cork handicap on her hat-trick bid suggests the handicapper probably has her measure now.

Form: 1-54117

Mallavelly^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 83| D

12/1

Went from strength to strength after joining the yard last year, winning 3 times before a third in a valuable course handicap, however, she hasn't looked in anything like the same heart in either start this season.

Form: 1163-07

Glory To Be^b⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M C Grassick| OR: 77| D

7/1

Strong form when second in a 6f course handicap on return prior to going one better at Leopardstown (7f, soft). Below form both starts since, however, handicapper has offered some respite and the return to this track is a positive.

Form: 10-2179

(4)

Meriden¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Hogan| OR: 86| C| D

7/2

Low-mileage 3-y-o who is improving in leaps and bounds, readily scoring at this course (6f) before comfortably landing the hat-trick at Leopardstown (7f) last time. A further 8 lb rise requires another step forward if she's to complete the 4-timer.

Form: 606111

(7)

She's Too Kool²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Connell| OR: 84

40/1

Low-mileage maiden who ran as well as could be expected when fourth in Group 3 Anglesey this time last year. Wasn't disgraced on return at Fairyhouse earlier this month, either, but her opening mark looks on the stiff side.

Form: 5P364-5

Forecasts

Meriden (7/2), Aviatrice (7/2), Greydreambeliever (9/2), Glory To Be (7/1), Fingerpaint (8/1), Rion Rubette (9/1), Orchidaceae (11/1), Mallavelly (12/1), Bint Majestic Roi (12/1), Nancy J (14/1), Vega's Muse (28/1), She's Too Kool (40/1)

AVIATRICE has run well on both previous starts at the track and the drop back down in class can see her get off the mark for the season. Meriden arrives very much on the up and should go well in her bid for a 4-timer, while Orchidaceae could feature prominently if ready to roll.
