Perfect Judgement^b³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Cusack⁽²⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 60| D

8/1

Won 3 times at Dundalk in winter of 2024/25 and in better heart than recent form figures would suggest for present stable, not ideally placed when fifth at Leopardstown (1m) 5 weeks ago. Blinkers go back on and he's interesting dropping into a 0-60 for the first time.

William F Browne^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Grant⁽²⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 58| CD

14/1

Winless since 2024 and he merely added to a patchy recent record equipped with a visor (replaced by cheekpieces now) when eighth of 13 in handicap at Killarney (1m) last week.

Form: 97-0378

Medieval Night^b,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jared Huggan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 57

16/1

Maiden who posted a good fourth despite a difficult draw at Leopardstown (9f) 2 starts back. Never better than midfield at Killarney subsequently but tongue strap quickly goes back on and not out of things if putting it all together.

Form: 083047

Slaney Swagger^v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joseph Harnett⁽²⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 55

18/1

Long-standing maiden with plenty of placed efforts, though ended last year out of form. Tailed off on stable debut at Down Royal (10.4f, soft) on reappearance last month and fared little better at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago.

Form: 2380-00

Convincing^b1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Gabriella Hill⁽²⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 54

11/1

Yet to score and posted a below-par effort following a 4-month break at Killarney (1m) last week. Blinkers now reached for.

Form: 390-950

(3)

Dinamine^p1²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Terry Casey⁽²⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 53| D

17/2

Beat a couple of subsequent winners when ending 2025 with success at Bellewstown in August. Lines up here having performed well on 2 of his last 3 starts, including when fifth back at Bellewstown (1m) 3 weeks ago. Likely player with cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 31-0395

Mehmar^p,t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Orr⁽²⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 52| C

7/1

Course winner who arrives on a long losing run but confirmed his return to form when posting a good fourth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 6 days ago. On a dangerous mark if building on that.

Form: 608574

(5)

Lohengrin^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Yudish Geerdharry⁽²⁾| T: E D Delany| OR: 50

33/1

Belatedly off the mark in a Laytown maiden (7f) last summer but struggled to replicate that subsequently, again offering little dropped to a claimer at Bellewstown (1m) 3 weeks ago.

Form: B00000

(11)

Morning Approach¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Shay Wallace⁽²⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 49| D

8/1

Arrives on a lengthy losing run but she did take a much needed step back in the right direction when sixth in 22-runner handicap at Leopardstown (9f) 2 weeks ago. Now her task is to prove she can build on that effort.

Form: 0-00506

(7)

Akashaa^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ruby Kinkaid⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 48

11/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who ran to a similar level as on return when sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 10 days ago, fading only late on. Tongue strap quickly goes back on and she's no forlorn hope back on turf.

Form: 8526-66

Famous Enough^p,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽²⁾| T: P T Foley| OR: 48| D

7/1

Dual winner over 1m in 2025 who confirmed his return to form when just failing to get up at Dundalk (1m) 10 days ago, deserving of extra credit for splitting a more prominently-ridden pair. Commands respect back on turf.

Form: 020052

(4)

Peig Sayers¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Darragh O'Sullivan| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 47

33/1

Bit of promise in maidens but not much encouragement in a trio of handicaps this season. never threatening when eighth at Fairyhouse (7f) 2 weeks ago. Work to do if she's to feature.

Form: 000-008

(2)

Pick A Window¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Mel Sheridan⁽²⁾| T: S G O'Donnell| OR: 43

33/1

Showed more than previously upped in trip when fifth of 13 in handicap at Limerick (7f) in June. However not in same form back at that venue 11 days ago and his overall profile is an unconvincing one.

Form: 00-0058

(15)

Quarry Stone¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽²⁾| T: L McAteer| OR: 42

66/1

Has yet to show much in the way of solid form and offered little after 9 months off having rejoined present yard at Leopardstown (9f) 2 weeks ago.

Form: 608/00-0

(10)

Duchess Anne²⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Orla Tynan| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 40

22/1

Lightly-raced filly who again offered little when sixth of 8 in a Gowran maiden (9.5f) when last seen in October. Return to handicaps in her favour on seasonal bow but others more appealing.

Form: 568006-

(17)

Lorr's Girl⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽²⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 40

7/1

Not the most straightforward and hasn't returned in much form, again finishing well held at Limerick (7f) last month.

Form: 9408-00

(18)

Master Garvey^v,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Alan Casey⁽²⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 40| C| D

14/1

Infrequent winner who finished closer than previously this season equipped with a first-time visor (retained) when fifth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f) 2 weeks ago. Wouldn't be sure to be in same form here, though.

Form: 387575

(14)

Mullacash Buzz^p,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Jessica O'Gorman| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 40| CD

8/1

On a long losing run but has tumbled down the weights this year and ran one of this season's better races reverting to front-running tactics when third at Bellewstown (1m) 3 weeks ago. Possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 3-00463

Forecasts

Famous Enough (7/1), Lorr's Girl (7/1), Mehmar (7/1), Mullacash Buzz (8/1), Morning Approach (8/1), Perfect Judgement (8/1), Dinamine (17/2), Convincing (11/1), Akashaa (11/1), William F Browne (14/1), Master Garvey (14/1), Medieval Night (16/1), Slaney Swagger (18/1), Duchess Anne (22/1), Peig Sayers (33/1), Lohengrin (33/1), Pick A Window (33/1), Quarry Stone (66/1)

PERFECT JUDGEMENT lines up here in better heart than his recent form figures would suggest, so from a career-low mark dropped into 0-60 company for the first time, he could well be worth chancing in refitted blinkers (on for last 3 victories). Recent Dundalk second Famous Enough and Dinamine are others to consider, with Mullacash Buzz and Mehmar also making each-way appeal.
