33/1

Dark Angel filly who left her debut form well behind when second in a Kempton novice (7f) in October and didn't need to improve again when comfortably off the mark at Chelmsford (7f) a month later. Absent/changed hands since (65,000 gns) and remains unexposed now handicapping.

Form: 621-

Lohoobb²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 82| CD

11/1

Ended his time with Owen Burrows with a good second at Ffos Las (6f) in June and cemented the positive start made for his new yard when opening his account in a 7-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Seen to good effect then but did it emphatically nevertheless and he's of interest again.

Solana Beach⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 78

7/1

In the frame in maidens at Gowran (7f) and Naas (1m) this spring. Took a step forward when third of 8 on handicap debut over C&D in June and feasible to think she could yet have more to offer on the back of just 3 starts.

Form: 243

Star Strewn^t¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 76| D

16/1

Made the frame both starts last year, before justifying good support on stable debut in 7f Dundalk maiden in February. Found things tougher in stronger company thereafter, though, and opening mark demands improvement now starting out in handicaps having rejoined former yard.

Form: 43-189

Ninth Crusade^t¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 74

3/1

Gelded and showed improved form when third of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. However, not in same form when down the field at Roscommon on Monday, so bounce back called for turned out quickly.

Form: 062-630

Nazario^p,t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 73

3/1

Fair maiden who ran to a similar level as previously this year for new yard when 2 lengths seventh of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces/tongue tie worn then are retained and he holds definite each-way claims.

Form: 726-447

Venetian Star¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: P T Foley| OR: 73

7/2

Still a maiden but ran his best race when reeled in late in the day at Limerick (7f) in June. However, not replicated that in 2 subsequent outings and bounce back now called for.

Form: 330200

Friendly Invoice²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Whearty| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 70| BF

80/1

Signed off 2025 with success in a Dundalk nursery (6f) in November. Seen only twice since, wasting what looked a good opportunity when second of 3 in a minor event over the same C&D in February. More needed from revised mark returned to handicaps after 6 months off.

Form: 0901-42

Girl Bear³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Leigh Roche| T: Jack Foley| OR: 68

16/1

Back to best form when third on handicap debut at Roscommon in May and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eighth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f) 5 weeks ago, meeting trouble and finishing with running left. Not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 3-79378

(6)

Cladach¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 65

8/1

Low-mileage sort who showed more than previously when eighth of 27 on handicap debut at the Curragh (6f) 10 days ago. The way he shaped then suggests this step back up in trip will suit and likely he has more to offer for his top stable.

Form: 4908

Glasarmi¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Rory Devine| OR: 63

50/1

Fair start in maidens (gambled on when fourth over 1m here second outing) but proved easy to back and ran poorly when well held on handicap debut at the Curragh (6f) 10 days ago, weakening 2f out.

Forecasts

Ninth Crusade (3/1), Nazario (3/1), Venetian Star (7/2), Motta Alta (5/1), Solana Beach (7/1), Cladach (8/1), Lohoobb (11/1), Star Strewn (16/1), Girl Bear (16/1), Snow Light (33/1), Glasarmi (50/1), Friendly Invoice (80/1)

Successful in a Limerick maiden in June, MOTTA ALTA shaped well starting out for her new yard when third on handicap debut at Galway 5 weeks ago. Still lightly raced and open to further improvement, she can resume winning ways. Ninth Crusade, Lohoobb and Cladach are others fancied to be firmly in the mix.
