11/2

Built on earlier promise to land 13-runner handicap at Limerick (1m) 13 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 6 lb rise.

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f) 14 days ago. Unreliable type overall however.

Roman Harry^p⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Killian Leonard| T: S M Duffy| OR: 55

Dinamine²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 54| CD

7/1

Beat a couple of subsequent winners when doubling his tally over C&D last summer. Good third at Limerick (7f) in June but possibly found the run coming too quickly when ninth at Leopardstown (7f) 24 hours later. Could bounce back here off a handy mark after three-week break.

Form: 531-039

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt| OR: 53

Secret Magician^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 53

6/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2024. Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f) 21 days ago. No forlorn hope having been eased 1 lb.

Tortola¹³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: E Griffin| OR: 52

28/1

Best run for Andrew Slattery when third of 10 in 7f claimer at Dundalk in December but below that level since, tongue strap back on when last of 12 there (1m) in February. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Form: 083-570

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell| OR: 50| D

14/1

On a losing sequence but shaped as if the run was needed after 7 months off when seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m) 31 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Forecasts

Dynamic Force (4/1), Rampage (5/1), Carvalhal (11/2), Secret Magician (6/1), Dinamine (7/1), Desert Of The Sea (11/1), Roman Harry (12/1), Rockbury Lad (12/1), Pinball Wizard (14/1), Wellwhatshappenin (14/1), Mullacash Buzz (18/1), Captain Ciano (20/1), Micasso (22/1), Virgil Tibbs (25/1), Tortola (28/1), Plastic Paddy (50/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and it is worth siding with C&D scorer DINAMINE to capitalise on a lenient mark having been given a short break since running twice in two days last month. Desert Of The Sea continues in good form and could emerge as the chief threat in his bid for a breakthrough success ahead of recent Limerick scorer Carvalhal.
