Billie Be Quick^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 87| D

18/5

Fairly useful sort who has won a trio of 5f handicaps and will find this company easier having fallen short in listed events last 3 starts. Second in this race last year and one to consider.

Form: 0-00548

Rosie Frith²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: P Magee| OR: 89| D

13/2

Gradually progressive at 2 yrs, winning a 5f Cork maiden and Dundalk nursery. Well held both starts this season, including back in a hot handicap at Epsom last month, and her mark probably remains on the high side.

Form: 7221-80

Namiid^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 84| D

6/4

Has returned in good form, opening his account in 5f Navan maiden and running respectably in a good handicap back there last month in a change of headgear (unable to dominate a useful field). Cheekpieces back on and can go well in these calmer waters.

Form: 324-314

Smoke Them Out⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 76

11/2

Three-time winner, including at the Curragh on return. Not so good over 7f there last time, the quicker ground possibly an issue, and could face similar conditions here back at the minimum trip. Others preferred.

Form: 6-16020

Treasured Royal¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 73| BF

18/5

Navan maiden winner in September and ticking over in handicaps this season, fifth at Fairyhouse on Wednesday. Drops back to 5f now.

Forecasts

Namiid (6/4), Treasured Royal (18/5), Billie Be Quick (18/5), Smoke Them Out (11/2), Rosie Frith (13/2), Sporting Hero (14/1)

NAMIID ran well in a good handicap at Navan last time and can resume winning ways in this easier race with the cheekpieces back on. Billie Be Quick looks the danger and could repeat last year's second.
