6/1

3-y-o from family yard has had success with and didn't go unbacked when making it second time lucky on return at Galway (1m) in July. Failed to build on that promise switched to a handicap at Leopardstown last time, though. 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle.

Form: 6-18

Tachos^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Weld| OR: 71| D

6/1

Delivered the sort of performance she has been threatening for a while in first-time cheekpieces when winning 8-runner event at Leopardstown (1m) in August, albeit well positioned. Struggled in a much more competitive race there since but can get back on track now reverting to calmer waters.

Forecasts

Save The Sixes (11/8), Aquilla Star (15/8), Lady In Gold (5/2), Star Strewn (5/1), Duchess Of Kenli (6/1), Tachos (6/1), Excuzio Joe (28/1)

LADY IN GOLD left her debut form well behind to score at Dundalk in February despite still looking a bit rough around the edges, so it's reasonable to assume she can progress further now entering handicap company. Tachos could well bounce back on her return to calmer waters, while Save The Sixes is another unexposed, well-bred filly who warrants respect.
