5/2

Final leg of a hat-trick last year came in this race. Hasn't seriously threatened on the Flat or over hurdles since but was left poorly placed at Leoapardstown last week and could bounce back with a bang.

Form: 5/111-90

66/1

Yet to make an impact, including when seventeenth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm, 50/1) 37 days ago. Difficult ask.

4/1

Bit below form when 14 lengths sixth of 11 to Reflectionist in handicap (10/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 16 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Limestone Red^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Collins| OR: 48

10/1

Won at Dundalk in January and showed signs that he may be ready to capitalise on a lower turf mark when second of 15 at Killarney (11.5f, good) 31 days ago. Gets the vote.

Form: 5-14882

Nathema^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 58

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 on handicap debut at Cork (1½m, good to firm) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces are reached for after that.

Forecasts

Metamorpheus (2/1), Stepdance (5/2), Preparations (4/1), Tassarolo (5/1), Go Flo Jo (5/1), Miss Australie (15/2), Duleek Street (8/1), Spinning Web (9/1), Limestone Red (10/1), Nathema (18/1), Mullacurry Maid (66/1)

A repeat of the form LIMESTONE RED showed when second at Killarney might be good enough to see him land a first win on the turf. Last year's winner Stepdance is second choice ahead of Andrew McNamara's in-form 7-y-o Metamorpheus.
