1st (6)  (9/4 +10%)Sir Yoshi |
9/4(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sir Yoshi 9/4, Promising sort. 10/3, third of 12 in maiden at Cork (5f, good) 19 days ago, again shaping well, still rough around the edges and open to further improvement. Lots to like. Clearly the best form of those to have run, big chance if handling softer ground. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/1 -20%)Passing Phase |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Passing Phase 9/1, Twice-raced colt. 4/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Chester (6.1f, good) 20 days ago. Return to 5f may suit but needs to improve to play major role. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5/1 +44%)Rudi's Apple |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rudi's Apple 5/1, Foaled May 5. 50,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Never Fear and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m-2m winner The Vegas Raider and 1½m winner Ready To Shine. One of two newcomers for the yard, market should tell us a lot about their chances. |
|||
4th (1)  (33/1 -50%)Gangsta Man |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gangsta Man 33/1, Thrice-raced colt. Third of 8 in maiden (33/1) at Navan (5.8f, good) 11 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Navan third a step in the right direction but lot more likely required to play a role. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/4 -120%)Hunting Song |
11/4(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hunting Song 11/4, Foaled February 6. No Nay Never colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner The Irish Rover and closely related to useful winner up to 8.6f West Palm Beach. Obvious claims first time up. Obvious appeal although yard's juveniles come on a lot from their debuts. |
|||
6th (7)  (12/1 +25%)Womp Womp |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Womp Womp 12/1, Foaled March 21. $40,000 yearling, Caravaggio colt. Dam unraced. One to take seriously on debut. US-bred with a dirt pedigree; soft ground may not be ideal on debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (5/1 +9%)Political Power |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Political Power 5/1, Fair colt. 29/10, fourth of 7 in maiden at Chantilly (5f, heavy) 55 days ago, very green. Should progress. Showed inexperience but some ability on Chantilly debut; seems sure to improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The market should be very informative ahead of this juvenile maiden. HUNTING SONG is certainly a debutant of interest. Aidan O'Brien's No Nay Never colt is a brother to a Listed-placed horse and holds a Group 2 Railway Stakes entry at the Curragh next month. Sir Yoshi's second in Dundalk and third in Cork read well and, if he handles the slower ground, he would have every chance. Political Power kept on well for fourth on debut on heavy ground in Chantilly, which will really stand to him. Joseph O'Brien introduces two colts and his Rudi's Apple made 140,000gns at a breeze-up sale, while the twice-raced Passing Phase is another to note.
SIR YOSHI has more to offer and looks the way to go. Newcomers Hunting Song and Womp Womp are respected.
A tentative vote goes to the Ballydoyle debutant HUNTING SONG, with Political Power and Sir Yoshi big threats

(5)  (17/2 +47%)Faoladh |
17/2(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Faoladh 17/2, Foaled April 22. €18,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 13.5f winner Theme Astral and 7f-1m winner Feed The Goater, both useful. 40,000 euros yearling; ninth foal; half-brother to five winners. |
|||
1st (3)  (13/8 -17%)Surpass |
13/8(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Surpass 13/8, Foaled February 10. 240,000 gns foal, Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to useful 9.5f winner Zenga. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner (stayed 10.3f) Ricetta. Lots to like for top operation. 240,000gns foal; third foal; half-brother to 9.4f AW winner Zenga (RPR 93). |
|||
2nd (7)  (50/1 -25%)Shocker |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shocker 50/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 25/1) on debut 9 days ago. Prominent to a point before weakening into a well-held seventh over this far at Roscommon. |
|||
3rd (4)  (12/1 +52%)Devine Genius |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Devine Genius 12/1, €185,000 yearling, Almanzor colt. Closely related to smart 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Unquestionable. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 28/1) 12 days ago. More needed. Expensive yearling but not many positives to take from his first two runs. |
|||
4th (1)  (9/2 +18%)Starry Desert |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Starry Desert 9/2, Foaled March 30. Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to winner up to 10.5f Starry Heavens (2-y-o 1m winner, by Mastercraftsman), from the family of high-class winner up to 1m (including Irish 1000 Guineas) Alpha Centauri. Yard have had a number of successful newcomers this month. Out of an unraced sister to top-class miler Alpha Centauri; lots of appeal on paper. |
|||
5th (6)  (25/1 -150%)Besiege |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Besiege 25/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Two runs in 5f maidens at Dundalk weren't without promise. |
|||
6th (2)  (3/1 +60%)The Marty Party |
3/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Marty Party 3/1, Foaled May 22. Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, 2m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner (stayed 15.5f) Glaring. dam 2m AW winner (RPR 89), closely related to Group-placed 10.6f AW winner The Anvil. |
|||
7th (9)  (50/1 +0%)Zaraahmando |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zaraahmando 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 6/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 9 days ago, too free. Beaten 8l and 12l in two 7.5f maidens at Roscommon (soft/good); one for handicaps. |
|||
8th (8)  (9/2 -125%)Dr Ali |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dr Ali 9/2, Twice-raced colt. 6/4, only fourth of 8 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good) 11 days ago. 7f should suit and he could bounce back (debut run was encouraging). First visit to Navan was better than the second but has the best form claims. |
|||
9th (10)  (33/1 -32%)Clever And Classy |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Clever And Classy 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 17/2, ninth of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Down the field in maidens at Navan (6f) and Naas (5f); has to step up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Saxon Warrior colt SURPASS represents powerful connections and could be up to making a winning debut. He doesn't hold any big-race entries, but is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Dr Ali didn't progress from an opening third in Navan when a beaten favourite in fourth at the same track. However, slower ground may suit him more than others. Starry Desert is a half-brother to a Listed-placed filly and starts out for a stable that has been firing plenty of winners in. Newcomers The Marty Party and Faoladh (who has plenty of winners in his pedigree) are worth checking for market strength.
An early test for these 2-y-os and the betting could be revealing in a tricky contest. SURPASS and Starry Desert are a pair bred for the job and make plenty of appeal. Dr Ali was disappointing last time but sets the standard on his debut third at Dundalk and should be suited by 7f.
Dr Ali sets the standard but the newcomers catch the eye. SURPASS is marginally preferred over Starry Desert.

11/2(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Giuseppe Cassioli 11/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. Has good chance on form. Good Leopardstown run augurs well but not sure if this soft ground will suit. |
|||
(12)  (11/1 -10%)Golden Days |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Golden Days 11/1, Off 3 months, below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft, 15/2) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Encouraging enough Roscommon comeback run; definite contender. |
|||
(5)  (22/1 +12%)Half Nutz |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Half Nutz 22/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 13 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. On lengthy losing run, bit more encouraging latest but not one to have too much faith in. |
|||
1st (6)  (16/1 -14%)Linger For Longer |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Linger For Longer 16/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Last of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Has work to do. Longer trip and soft ground not ideal here so hard to fancy. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/1 +44%)Speckled Meadow |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Speckled Meadow 5/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Ground possibly too quick latest, previous Leopardstown win was on heavy. |
|||
3rd (16)  (12/1 +64%)Swiss Army Officer |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Swiss Army Officer 12/1, 10/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. Of limited appeal on evidence of two poor runs this term. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/2 +56%)Racing Royalty |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Racing Royalty 7/2, Below form ninth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Bit to find on recent runs but could do so with ground to suit. |
|||
5th (11)  (10/1 +17%)Calzaghi |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Calzaghi 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Gowran (8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut and can do better now. Interesting. Very lightly raced 4yo; potential improver entering handicaps but opening mark high enough. |
|||
6th (2)  (14/1 +13%)Mogwli |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mogwli 14/1, Below form tenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 12/1) 23 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Recent runs a bit below best but likes it soft and on an okay mark so don't rule out. |
|||
7th (7)  (5/1 -11%)Play It Again Zaam |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Play It Again Zaam 5/1, Won 12-runner handicap (5/6) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, just holding on. 7 lb rise to overcome in tougher race now. Two wins within six days earlier this month; up aggregate of 14lb so more clearly needed. |
|||
8th (15)  (28/1 -40%)Navorrosse |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Navorrosse 28/1, First run since leaving James McAuley when below form seventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Something to find on form. Just okay debut run for the yard at Roscommon and needs to come on a fair bit to feature. |
|||
9th (10)  (11/1 +56%)Miqdaad |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Miqdaad 11/1, Winner at Dundalk in January. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Cork (8f, good) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Struggled since AW maiden win; blinkers replace cheekpieces and is down to a workable mark. |
|||
10th (9)  (9/1 +44%)Rock Etoile |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rock Etoile 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago, not clear run. On a tempting mark. Yet to hit form this campaign, remains opposable for now. |
|||
11th (17)  (66/1 -313%)Tynamite |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Tynamite 66/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. 10/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 47 days ago. RESERVE. Six AW wins but 0-23 on turf and soft ground unlikely to play to his strengths; reserve. |
|||
12th (8)  (16/1 +43%)Arbaawi |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Arbaawi 16/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (22/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. 1m2f was probably too far at Navan last time, could be a contender back in trip here. |
|||
13th (13)  (9/1 -80%)Cage Rattler |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Cage Rattler 9/1, Unreliable type. Winner at Gowran in May. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 4/1) 15 days ago. Booking of Keane a plus. Killarney may have come too soon after Gowran win; return to this trip to suit. |
|||
14th (14)  (22/1 -83%)Skontonovski |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Skontonovski 22/1, Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 20/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has been struggling of late despite plummeting mark, needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPECKLED MEADOW holds each-way claims in a race where many have chances. Better ground was her undoing when last seen in Leopardstown, but this rain-softened going is very much in her favour. On her penultimate start, she beat a big field in Leopardstown and Wayne Hassett's claim has her on a competitive mark. Arbaawi didn't appear to stay 1m2f in Navan, but has winning form over 7f on soft ground at Lingfield. Play It Again Zaam is in rude health after victories in Gowran Park and Roscommon. He's now a stone higher than when he started his winning run, which makes life more difficult, but he should be in there pitching. Cage Rattler is another who merits scrutiny.
CALZAGHI is very much the type to do better now handicapping at a low level and a big effort could be forthcoming. Giuseppe Cassioli and Golden Days are just a couple of others to consider in an open contest.
Back on soft ground it may pay to take a chance on SPECKLED MEADOW returning to form

12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Party Dress 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Thurles (16f, soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Significantly back down in trip. Contrasting trips in two starts; may be more one for handicaps. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/8 +8%)Jeaniemacaroney |
11/8(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jeaniemacaroney 11/8, Fair filly. 2/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Of interest on these terms. Trip should be ideal and ground-versatile; definite player with rider's claim a positive. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 -125%)Quantum Light |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Quantum Light 9/1, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 4/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 15 days ago, met some trouble. On best form could go close, others possibly have more improvement in them. |
|||
4th (6)  (125/1 -25%)Tasmanian Girl |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tasmanian Girl 125/1, Modest filly. 250/1, last of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy) 150 days ago. Off 150 days. Modest on the Flat and hard to make a case for her. Poor maiden hard to see her having an impact here. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/8 -10%)Alessia Fernanda |
11/8(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alessia Fernanda 11/8, Lightly-raced filly. 9/2, good third of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and should continue to give a good account for in-form yard. Trip/ground could provide a stern stamina test but every chance if seeing it out. |
|||
6th (3)  (25/1 -127%)Marirah |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Marirah 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Roger Varian when fifth of 8 in maiden at Sligo (10.6f, good, 33/1) 14 days ago. Too keen on Irish debut in recent Sligo maiden; headgear combination retained. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This ground could play into JEANIEMACARONEY's hands. She was placed in four maiden hurdles on testing conditions before a satisfactory return to the Flat when fourth on better ground in Cork. Hugh Horgan's 5lb claim has her 1lb better off at the weights with Alessia Fernanda. Dermot Weld's filly gets a first-time tongue-strap on this step up in trip and has been placed on three occasions, so is a major player. Quantum Light looks exposed after 16 races in Britain and Ireland, although trip and ground are fine for her and this is not a strong contest.
ALESSIA FERNANDA put in another excellent shift when placed in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown 12 days ago and a repeat of that level mat well suffice back in maiden company against her own sex. Jeaniemacaroney is offered for forecast purposes.

20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Bride Tree 20/1, Winner at Dundalk in December. 12/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. RESERVE. Reserve; AW winner off 6lb lower; well held since and perhaps on a tough mark. |
|||

22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bear Profit 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 10/1) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Both wins over shorter but was seventh of 17 over 1m2f at Navan latest. |
|||

100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Approach The Land 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 18 months.

100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Girl Crush 100/1, Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving James McAuley when fourteenth of 15 in handicap (80/1) at Roscommon (12f, good to soft). Off 12 months. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. RESERVE. Reserve; maiden winner who has offered little in handicaps; tries cheekpieces. |
|||
1st (7)  (9/1 -100%)Status Green |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Status Green 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 13/2) 15 days ago. Still a maiden but one to consider. First-time cheekpieces when bumping into one at Killarney (1m, soft). |
|||
2nd (5)  (5/2 +71%)Venetian |
5/2(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Venetian 5/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 20/1) 90 days ago, nearest finish. Turf/AW winner in 2022; stuck on a losing run now and slow starts have become a habit. |

3rd (11)  (10/1 -11%)Adhuil |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Adhuil 10/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 20 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Back up in trip. Now 0-22 but was runner-up for a third time at Gowran in April; must have some chance. |
|||
4th (3)  (10/1 -25%)Magic Charm |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magic Charm 10/1, 8/1, respectable seventh of 18 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. Curragh winner who has shown he can cope with this higher mark; respected. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 -6%)Rock Basher |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rock Basher 9/1, Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 15/2) 47 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Unraced on ground this slow but hasn't been far away in two AW handicaps this year. |
|||
6th (4)  (40/1 -100%)Dazzling Spirit |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dazzling Spirit 40/1, 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, missing break. Blinkered for 1st time. Four-time winner who goes on the ground but has lost her way and now tries blinkers. |
|||
7th (12)  (25/1 +38%)Deuteronomy |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Deuteronomy 25/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 22/1) 9 days ago, barely adequate test. Back up in trip. Fourth has been as good as it's got in his 19 career starts. |
|||
8th (15)  (66/1 -65%)Talking Tough |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Talking Tough 66/1, Two wins from 67 Flat runs. Fifty runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Rarely wins at the best of times (2-67) and he was behind Status Green at Killarney. |
|||
9th (8)  (11/2 -57%)Angel On Fire |
11/2(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Angel On Fire 11/2, 10/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Shortlist material from the same mark. Solid efforts of late in 7f-1m2f handicaps and slow ground seems ideal for him. |
|||
10th (14)  (33/1 +0%)Reckless Quality |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Reckless Quality 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Difficult ask. Lightly raced and she was keeping on over 7.5f on handicap debut at Roscommon. |
|||
11th (16)  (33/1 -32%)Wonder Spirit |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Wonder Spirit 33/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. AW winner who is 0-10 on turf after finishing eighth of 12 at Roscommon. |
|||
12th (9)  (6/1 -33%)So Messi |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) So Messi 6/1, Good third of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Solid form claims on two of his last three efforts; has no ground concerns. |
|||
13th (13)  (13/2 +59%)Lisamaria |
13/2(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lisamaria 13/2, 9/1, bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 9 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Form claims on peak efforts but the good days are becoming harder to predict. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STATUS GREEN ran a creditable race in second behind an easy winner in Killarney and could go one better. He made up plenty of ground in the final furlong and is of interest off the same mark of 54. Angel On Fire has been beaten roughly the same distance into second at Leopardstown and into fourth at Sligo and both races have been franked, so his claims are stronger than most. James Ryan got to know So Messi when the pair were a close third in Cork last week, while Magic Charm, Adhuil and Rock Basher are in the hunt for a cheque.
For a modest handicap, a fair few of these arrive in form, with MAGIC CHARM just about the most persuasive option with this slight step back up in trip sure to suit. Angel On Fire and Status Green are a couple of potential threats.
The suggestion is STATUS GREEN who seemed to perk up for the cheekpieces when chasing home a well-treated winner at Killarney.

Second of 5 in maiden (11/10) at Chester (12.3f, good to firm) 19 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Sure to go well for top yard.

33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Leinster 33/1, Eighth of 20 in maiden (25/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) on debut. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Likely to improve. Some promise in finishing eighth of 20 over 1m on heavy ground at the Curragh in Nov. |
|||

Won 17-runner handicap hurdle (11/1) at Listowel (16f, soft), shaken up to assert. Off 8 months. Down in trip. Useful winning hurdler and a slog in the mud back over 1m4f won't faze him. |
|||

20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Final Entry 20/1, Tongue strap on cheekpieces on, eighth of 9 in maiden (8/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago.

Dam, winner up to 11f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Tonahutu out of US Grade 3 winner Really Polish. Wears hood. Hooded for this belated debut and makes limited appeal. |

|||
9th (6)  (80/1 -21%)You Are The Deal |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) You Are The Deal 80/1, Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 16 in maiden (250/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Showed appreciably more second time out when beaten 11l at Gowran (1m, heavy). |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Aidan O'Brien's EPHESUS showed plenty of ability when a never-nearer third on debut at Dundalk. The winner, a stablemate of his, followed up in York and has big-race options. Ephesus got closer to a victory when runner-up in Chester and holds a Group 2 entry at Royal Ascot. Plenty of cut in the ground won't inconvenience Invention, who has been running solidly in maiden company. He is a brother to an Irish Oaks runner-up and there are wins to be had with him. Camelot colt Himalayan Heights has posted two runner-up finishes, while Slaneyside is a newcomer to note.
EPHESUS was worn down late having helped contribute to a brisk gallop at Chester 3 weeks ago and with the promise of more to come, he looks the way to go. Invention is the obvious threat on form, with Ob La Di also of interest.
It was probably a good race in which EPHESUS (nap) came up shy at Chester where he was picked off late on by one ridden colder.

25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) No Trouble 25/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022.

28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Sceptred Isle 28/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Ran well on first outing since leaving John G. Carr after 8 months off when third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Navan (13f, good) 11 days ago. Task is now to build on that. Close up over 1m5f at Navan, where a bold mid-race move softened her up late on. |
|||
2nd (8)  (9/2 +40%)Paradise Lost |
9/2(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Paradise Lost 9/2, Ran respectably after 4 months off when fifth of 16 in handicap (17/2) at Gowran (14f, heavy) 20 days ago, running on. That should've blown away any cobwebs so he's one to consider. Some fair Flat efforts, including on recent Gowran comeback; entitled to come on for that. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 -100%)L'un Deux Trois |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) L'un Deux Trois 9/1, C&D winner. 15/2, ran respectably after 7 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Won second time up last year (over this C&D) and has good chance on pick of form. C&D winner on soft last summer and back to the same mark; nice run last time. |
|||
4th (10)  (8/1 -100%)Spinning Web |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Spinning Web 8/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. Stepped up on reappearance run after another 9 weeks off when 3½ lengths third of 14 to Forlio in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft, 10/3) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly. One-paced third behind Forlio and Nusra at Limerick; this longer trip a positive. |
|||
5th (9)  (8/1 +33%)Firm Belief |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Firm Belief 8/1, 6/1, fifth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 11 days ago, never nearer after not clear run final 100 yds. Best form has been at a stiff Navan and hasn't shone on three visits here. |
|||
6th (13)  (28/1 -40%)Santa Catarina |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Santa Catarina 28/1, Fared no better after 9 months off when ninth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (13.7f, soft, 22/1) 5 weeks ago. Very hard to make a case for. Twelve defeats include four claimers; ninth of 14 over 1m5f at Gowran last time. |
|||
7th (7)  (14/1 -133%)Nusra |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nusra 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year, latest at Dundalk in March. 5/1, improved again back on turf when neck second of 14 to Forlio in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft) 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Has won on soft and did little wrong when edged out by Forlio at Limerick. |
|||
8th (3)  (33/1 +0%)Desert Friend |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Desert Friend 33/1, Let down by jumping back over fences at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Fair on all-weather, creditable on last run. Nearly three years since he last won on the Flat; unseated over fences latest when beaten. |
|||
9th (19)  (12/1 +25%)Tom The Plasterer |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Tom The Plasterer 12/1, 14/1, bounced back to form when fourth of 21 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good) 12 days ago. Looks competitive on form if getting a run. RESERVE. Reserve; close fourth of 21 over this far at Leopardstown 12 days ago. |
|||
10th (2)  (7/1 -8%)Forlio |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Forlio 7/1, Overcame a 19-month absence and made his first start since leaving Edward Bethell (tongue tied) a winning one in 14-runner handicap (7/1) at Limerick (11.2f, soft) 13 days ago by neck from Nusra, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Should remain competitive up 5 lb. Up 5lb for winning stable debut but he's entitled to improve some more. |
|||
11th (14)  (5/1 +17%)War Thunder |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) War Thunder 5/1, Finally got off the mark on first outing since leaving D. J. Ryan after 5 months off in 14-runner handicap at Sligo (13.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago by ½ length from Glyde Ranger, justifying solid market support in the process. 6 lb higher and could kick on now up and running. Well backed when making winning debut for this yard at Sligo; that was no fluke. |
|||
12th (17)  (66/1 -65%)Camino Mission |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Camino Mission 66/1, Ran poorly in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 20/1) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. 18-race maiden under both codes and never placed; has more to prove than a lot of these. |
|||
13th (12)  (50/1 -100%)Pale Moonlight |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pale Moonlight 50/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving D. K. Weld. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Record of 1-17 for Dermot Weld and departed that yard for only 1,000 euros. |
|||
14th (18)  (33/1 +18%)Chilean |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Chilean 33/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when 23¾ lengths twelfth of 20 to Firm Belief in handicap (16/1) at Navan (14f, heavy) 7 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running, His Group-race days are long gone and he's become inconsistent; lacks a run. |
|||
15th (6)  (12/1 +0%)Folly Beach |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Folly Beach 12/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. 15/2, failed to come on for recent run when seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy) 20 days ago. More needed. Not at her best the last twice but still considered on ground that she handles. |
|||
16th (16)  (8/1 +60%)Gardone |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Gardone 8/1, Fared no better on first outing since leaving Charles Weld after 7 months off when eighth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 10/1) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Has hinted at winning potential in handicaps (1m2f-1m6f) but still has to raise his game. |
|||
17th (4)  (18/1 -50%)Glyde Ranger |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glyde Ranger 18/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 5/1, ran creditably with the visor refitted when fifth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 11 days ago. Headgear off. Close second to War Thunder at Sligo; got too far behind at Navan latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
L'UN DEUX TROIS won over a similar trip at this track last summer and is weighted to go well again. He didn't run badly in fifth in a higher grade at Roscommon just over a fortnight ago. Paul Flynn's Forlio has prospects of adding to his Limerick success off 5lb higher. He had been off for more than 18 months and was making his Irish debut for Flynn when he got up by a neck in Limerick. There should be more to come from him. Nusra was the horse beaten into second in Limerick and she ought to be on the premises again. Flynn also saddles Sligo winner War Thunder, who will have his supporters.
L'UN DEUX TROIS made a satisfactory return to action when fifth at Roscommon earlier this month and with that sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Oliver McKiernan's 8-y-o is fancied to repeat what he did last year and score second time up over C&D. Forlio, Nusra and Spinning Web were 1-2-3 at Limerick earlier this month and they can provide most resistance in an open-looking finale.
There could be a big run in C&D winner L'UN DEUX TROIS who signalled a return to form after a break at Roscommon.
