Duvessa²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 74| BF

8/13

Ridden with an eye on the future on debut/sole start for Mrs J. Harrington but showed improved form over a longer trip when a well-backed second at Roscommon (1½m) on her return. Matched that form when third of 9 in maiden at Down Royal (13f, soft) 22 days ago and she looks the one to beat.

Form: 8-23

Forthill⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 73

9/4

Showed more than on debut when second in a Killarney maiden in October and ran to a similar level when third in 23-runner contest at the Curragh the following month. Below expectations when tenth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (11.4f, soft) on return in April but likely to be closer to form now.

Form: 523-0

Rocket Robyn^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 65

11/1

Went close in a Gowran maiden on third start last year but no better than mid-field in handicaps on her last 3 outings and has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 29-8069

Tequila²⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 65

9/1

Close third on handicap debut at Newmarket last summer when trained by Raphael Freire but ran poorly on 2 outings for Kevin Philippart De Foy. Others more persuasive after another stable switch after 9 months off.

Form: 4/53596-

Wheres The Gold^p1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Whearty| T: P W Flynn

150/1

No form in 5 starts. Cheekpieces go on for first time.

Form: 00/007

Forecasts

Duvessa (8/13), Forthill (9/4), Tequila (9/1), Rocket Robyn (11/1), Annacroft (150/1), Wheres The Gold (150/1)

DUVESSA has been beaten favourite on both starts this season but should take all the beating in a less competitive maiden than the ones she's previously contested. Forthill will pose the biggest threat if coming on for a relatively low-key return.
