Caffu Zafeen⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 63| C

6/4

Capitalised on a falling mark when opening account under this rider in 17-runner event at Fairyhouse last month. Strong in the betting and didn't need to improve to follow up under a penalty in 13-runner event at this course (6f) last week. 8 lb higher now but respected in hat-trick bid.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt| OR: 58| CD

12/1

Took advantage of reduced mark when recording a tenth success at this course in January. Ran below form after 6 months off at Laytown recently but may just have needed the outing. One to look out for with his usual visor quickly reapplied.

Made a winning handicap debut over C&D in March and backed that up with good in-frame efforts next 2 starts. Disappointed at Down Royal latest but remains low mileage. Returns from an 11-week absence.

5/2

A 3-time winner for George Boughey in 2025. Struggled initially for G. O'Leary but confirmed return to form dropped into a claimer for the first time when second of 10 at Laytown (6f) just over 3 weeks ago. Has moved yards since and a visor is quickly reapplied.

66/1

Winner of a classified event at Wolverhampton in March. Struggled in turf handicaps at Naas since but back to form when fifth of 11 at former track (6f) last month. Needs to build on that here.

Another Nice'day^p³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 48| D

13/2

Got off the mark from 6 lb out of the handicap in 10-runner event at Navan (5f) in July. Had an excuse when below that level at Naas next time and arrives in good order, fourth of 19 at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) most recently. Return to 5f a plus but questions to answer about the surface.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Multiple course winner who posted a solid effort when second of 14 back from a short break in February but has struggled for form since, including back from 5 months off at Naas recently. Should at least strip fitter for that here.

Forecasts

Caffu Zafeen (6/4), Blue Anthem (5/2), Happy Henry (6/1), Another Nice'day (13/2), One Cool Bear (13/2), Bye Bye Now (8/1), Inishmot Prince (12/1), Subiaco (18/1), The Cosy Corner (22/1), Hasiyna (25/1), Optics (28/1), Top Biller (33/1), Cleopatra Dream (50/1), Phil's Dream (66/1)

A wide-open sprint to kick things off and it could pay to take a chance on INISHMOT PRINCE, who should come on from his recent Laytown reappearance and perhaps more pertinently his usual visor is back on. Caffu Zafeen is sure to be popular arriving on a hat-trick, but he may have to settle for silver, with stable-switcher Blue Anthem and Happy Henry another couple worthy of consideration, too.
