Half Cut¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Luke McAteer| T: A Mullins

66/1

Well held in maiden at Fairyhouse (1½m) on debut last month and fared little better when ninth of 10 at Tramore 13 days ago.

Form: 09

Tyraxes^p,t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 70

7/1

Placed on all-weather 3 of first 4 starts this year and transferred that form to turf when fourth of 13 in 1m maiden at Killarney in May. After 9 weeks off, below-par effort at the same course 6 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to further.

Form: 203045

Taj Crown^t,v⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 70

2/1

Runner-up in 1½m Limerick claimer on first outing last month and has soon got back on track after a lesser effort next time, fitted with tongue strap when second of 5 in maiden at Killarney (1m) 6 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 9-52862

Countertop¹⁷

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

200/1

Offered little in maidens last season and again finished down the field on reappearance when thirteenth of 15 in claimer at Bellewstown (1m) 17 days ago.

Form: 0700-0

Noble Venture²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: S Lavery

50/1

Didn't make much impact in a pair of maidens last month, dropped back in trip when tenth of 13 at the Curragh (1m) 24 days ago. Needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 70

Shay's Dream¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

9/1

Looks to have been brought about gradually in a trio of maidens so far, never involved when eleventh of 15 at Fairyhouse (7f) 12 days ago. Needs to leave those efforts behind up in trip.

Form: 0-00

Stabannon³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Kinsella

125/1

Has looked one for the longer term in his 2 outings, again finishing well held when twelfth of 17 in maiden at Fairyhouse (1½m) last month.

Form: 00

Contrite^t1⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: D K Weld

11/8

From a good family and made an encouraging start when making the frame in a Dundalk maiden (1m) last year. Possibly unsuited by testing conditions at Cork (10.5f) on return, so she remains capable of better. Major player with tongue strap added.

Form: 4-9

(5)

Guinelot^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: K J Condon

9/2

Showed promise when mid-field in a Down Royal maiden (10.5f) on debut and ran to a similar level when fourth of 9 at Killarney (11.3f) 7 days ago. Could be in the mix.

Form: 54

Forecasts

Contrite (11/8), Taj Crown (2/1), Avec Grand Plaisir (5/2), Guinelot (9/2), Tyraxes (7/1), Shay's Dream (9/1), Churchfield Lady (25/1), Noble Venture (50/1), Half Cut (66/1), Stabannon (125/1), Countertop (200/1)

Having shaped with promise on her only start last year, CONTRITE possibly found conditions against her on reappearance so she's worth another chance to build on her debut effort. She can see off the challenge of Taj Crown, who was beaten only by the odds-on favourite at Killarney, with Tyraxes also capable of getting involved.
