Ohailbhic¹²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane| OR: 79| D

12/1

Improving type who readily landed back-to-back 1m handicaps at Dundalk in March. Up 7 lb but he can go very well down in trip in his hat-trick bid.

Bad Boy Rizz^t⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 81

4/1

Consistent sort who comes here on the back of a good fifth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (5f) last month. Needs considering eased 1 lb.

Form: 321-235

Flaming Rib³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 75| D

12/1

Resumed from 10 months off with an encouraging sixth of 11 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. This lightly-raced 5f winner has more to offer.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 72

12/1

Mint Man^t⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 68| CD

All Hail¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Coen| T: A Oliver| OR: 70

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Much improved from his reappearance with fourth of 10 in handicap at Navan (5f) 11 days ago, not clear run over 1f out. Not out of things if building on it.

Form: 082-84

Forecasts

I Bid You Ajou (3/1), Bad Boy Rizz (4/1), Flaming Rib (6/1), Gotta Catch'em All (7/1), Mint Man (7/1), Four Blondes (12/1), Ohailbhic (12/1), Soulful Diva (12/1), All Hail (12/1), Ninth Crusade (20/1), Unidos (20/1)

A lot with chances but OHAILBHIC arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy a 7 lb rise in the weights here and complete a hat-trick, The reliable Bad Boy Rizz heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Curragh fifth, although I Bid You Ajou, Four Blondes and Gotta Catch'em All can all play a prominent role too in this competitive handicap.
