Dinamine^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 59| D

12/1

Ended 2025 with success at Bellewstown in August. Back to his best in first-time cheekpieces/strongly-run race when successful at Naas (1m) last time. His winning form has some merit and makes appeal in a race that may again be run to suit.

Imperial Dream¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Persse⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 59| D

18/1

Chased home some fairly useful sorts when hitting the frame in pair of Dundalk handicaps (7f) last autumn. Continued quiet start to this year on rare start over 5f at Curragh (50/1) latest. Back over a more suitable distance and potentially interesting on first start in a 0-60.

Form: 240-000

Pete's Dream²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 59

3/1

Off the mark in relatively comfortable fashion in this grade at Fairyhouse penultimate start (bled subsequently). Subsequent third at Killarney was a solid effort, and he should go well from a handy draw.

Form: 6-89413

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 58| BF| D

28/1

Ended 2025 in good form (won off 3-month break on stable debut at Dundalk in October). Perhaps needed the run more than expected in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) on return there in March. Could be competitive if translating his best form to turf.

Form: 84123-0

The Blue Panther¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 57| D

22/1

Has popped up with handicap wins in 2024/2025, and he went close to opening his account for this year (denied a clear run) in a similar event at Gowran last time. Wide draw/3-lb rise isn't ideal, though.

Form: 5-00492

Brains^b,t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-13| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 56| C

12/1

Forward-going type. Has won at this course, however, he's been operating below his best since finishing runner-up in this grade (off 1 lb higher) at Roscommon in May.

Gordon Bennett²⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 56

12/1

Went close in better handicap at the Curragh on seasonal reappearance last year. Hit the frame plenty of times subsequently before finishing down the field on stable debut at Dundalk in December. Goes well fresh/has slipped to an attractive mark, though is on a long losing run.

Launch Time^v1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: Cian Hughes| OR: 53| C

7/2

Shaped well on several occasions last season and first-time cheekpieces eked out a little progress when scoring on return here (1m) in April. Back to form with 2¼ lengths third in handicap here (8.5f) latest. Addition of more severe headgear an interesting angle and he's expected to go well.

Form: 48-1493

Micasso^p,t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Kinsella| OR: 52

33/1

Bounced back to get off the mark with a career best on reappearance at Bellewstown (22/1) last month. Merely underlined his inconsistency when only beating 2 home in a big-field Dundalk handicap subsequently.

Form: 5620-10

Jazzit^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50

15/2

Maiden ran his best race on turf (still below his all-weather form) when third of 19 (beaten less than 2 lengths) in this grade at Cork (6f). Extra furlong a slight question mark, and he doesn't look the most straightforward under pressure.

Mogwli^v⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Megan Telford-Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 47

50/1

Cashed in off reduced mark in refitted visor at Bellewstown (1m, soft) in October. Hasn't fired this year and hard to be confident with usual visor back on (replacing blinkers).

Form: 50-0000

Smaoineamh Sile^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Whearty| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 47| C

22/1

Four-time course winner for previous yard. More miss than hit for current connections, extending a long losing run when down the field over C&D last time. Cheekpieces added in hope of a revival.

Form: 08-00U9

Cannonball Queen^p1⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: S M Duffy| OR: 46

12/1

Showed some promise on debut at the Curragh last summer. Gone the wrong way since and hopes of a resurgence pinned on first-time cheekpieces/a 13-week break.

Form: 000-000

Draiocht^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 43

18/1

Got off the mark over in weak affair at Gowran (1m, soft) last October. Promising reappearance when beaten just under 4 lengths over same C&D last month. Drawn wide and still 3 lb above his winning mark, though.

Form: 48190-4

Master Garvey^b,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 40| D

13/2

Infrequent winner who got back to form when 4¼ lengths third in first-time blinkers at Gowran (9.5f). Claims if headgear has same effect on rare start over 7f.

Form: 757503

Desert Of The Sea^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt| OR: 40

33/1

Free-going sort. Remains a maiden (19 starts) following poor run at Bellewstown (1m) latest. Likely strong pace/shorter trip may at least help him settle better. RESERVE

Form: 232770

Suerte^t³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: S Lavery| OR: 56

12/1

Fared better than previously this season when eleventh of 16 (beaten over 4 lengths) at Naas 3 days ago. Hard to be confident of a full-scale revival, though. RESERVE

Forecasts

Pete's Dream (3/1), Launch Time (7/2), Master Garvey (13/2), Jazzit (15/2), Cannonball Queen (12/1), Brains (12/1), Suerte (12/1), Dinamine (12/1), Gordon Bennett (12/1), Draiocht (18/1), Imperial Dream (18/1), Smaoineamh Sile (22/1), The Blue Panther (22/1), Wellwhatshappenin (28/1), Desert Of The Sea (33/1), Micasso (33/1), Dress Dance (33/1), Cordouan (33/1), Pure Valour (33/1), Mogwli (50/1)

In an open-looking handicap, it could be worth taking a chance on class-dropper IMPERIAL DREAM. The most interesting of the remainder may be Gordon Bennett, who's slipped to a handy mark. Launch Time, Dinamine and Pete's Dream also appeal.
