BOLD AS LOVE was good enough to finish second on debut in a Leopardstown maiden at the end of last season and that gives her prospects. The winner of that race is highly thought of, so it was a decent effort. The horse behind her in third came out and won a Gowran Park maiden by almost four lengths last month. Bold As Love was a beaten favourite in fifth on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown in April, but is worth another chance as that was on heavy ground. Kings Time is likely to improve upon a third place on debut at Roscommon last summer. Las Cuatro has been a beaten favourite in two starts on the Polytrack in Dundalk. The suspicion is that there could be more to come from her on this switch to turf. Emorcee and Tango Flare are others with chances.

BOLD AS LOVE holds the edge on form and should strip fitter for her reappearance Leopardstown fifth so gets the vote. Navalny also has the form to play a part and is next on the list, with Kings Time and Tango Flare not discounted either on their seasonal returns.

Jessica Harrington was upbeat about KINGS TIME in a recent stable tour and he gets the vote to open his account here

By and large a guessing game for punters with so many newcomers, so the market should be informative. Kieran Cotter's MORAL TURPITUDE is put forward each-way. She is a half-sister to a pair of five-time winners who have shown plenty of dash over sprint trips. Paddy Twomey's Jenni was a beaten favourite in fifth on debut at the Curragh, but that was on heavy ground. She could be a different proposition on this much better ground. Neo Smart disappointed on her last start in the Curragh but dead-heated for second on debut at the same venue. A reproduction of that run would see her well involved. Bonbon, Glamorously and Ashwiyaa represent stables well able to win with a juvenile on debut.

JENNI was backed as if much better was expected on debut at the Curragh and she could leave that effort behind second time up. Tiger Belle is an interesting newcomer, while Uncle Albert and Neo Smart could be capable of better.

JENNI was seemingly caught out by a low draw that day but she could be a different proposition here with that run under her belt

AMAZON LADY wasn't outclassed in Listed company over C&D and could have a major say on handicap debut. She was beaten less than five lengths into sixth here after winning her maiden at Tipperary last month. That form got a boost when the runner-up obliged at Navan on Saturday. Jessica Maye takes 10lb off Amazon Lady's back. Fozzy Stack is having a strong season and Two Stars is another contender for him. His two runs have been at this track including when he shed his maiden tag over 6f. Vanguard Star reverts back to turf after a spell in Dundalk that yielded a win. El Tesoro and Not Too Real Bad are in the mix for prize money.

TWO STARS opened his account here a fortnight ago and could have more to offer now handicapping back in trip. He gets the vote over Not Too Real Bad, Vanguard Star and Amazon Lady.

A few in with claims but AMAZON LADY has looked like a filly going places this year and she could be the one to beat down in class

SONDHEIM made the breakthrough over course and distance last summer and regular rider Neve Bennett was again on board when the six-year-old scored at Dundalk in November. After finishing a creditable fifth over a mile here last month, the Born To Sea gelding can give another good account of himself back at his optimum distance. Breezy Zoff was an eye-catcher on her return at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago having won a big-field contest at that venue in the autumn. Her best form has come on soft ground but she was placed on a sound surface at Listowel last year. Run Forrest Run came with a perfectly-timed challenge to win the race in which Breezy Zoff was ninth at the Curragh. That was over 6f but he had winning form over this trip when trained in Britain and is another to consider from a 5lb higher mark.

Claims can be made for plenty but RUN FORREST RUN did well under the circumstances when ending a losing run stretching back almost 2 years at the Curragh 16 days ago, finding plenty to lead near the line. He gets the nod to continue the good work, with Dutch Glory, Capuchinero, Akmaam and Nyla Rua just a handful of others to consider.

A mark of 72 could be on the lenient side for CAPUCHINERO who posted a career in a claimer that's worked out well last time out

GOLDEN SPANGLE has gone up 7lb in total for three placed efforts since entering handicap company last month. She missed the kick when third over this trip at Gowran two runs back and bumped into a well-treated rival over a mile here last time. A tongue-tie might help to eke out a bit more improvement. Starnight ran a nice race on handicap debut at the Curragh before being sent across to Nottingham where she won readily over 6f. The step up in trip is unlikely to be an issue and Johnny Murtagh's filly is a leading contender despite a 9lb hike although she will be encountering quicker ground here. Asgard's Captain, beaten at Sligo on Tuesday, had a few of these behind when an encouraging third over 6f at Dundalk while Angel's Feather, fitted with headgear for her first handicap, ran in a couple of strong maidens last term and could be on a reasonable mark.

STARNIGHT was comfortably on top at Nottingham a couple of weeks ago and is taken to follow up. Jim Bolger's Golden Spangle arrives on the back of 3 solid placed efforts this spring and should give another good account. The Snapper should also be on the premises if bouncing back to the form he showed when successful over C&D at the beginning of April.

RUMBLED AGAIN ran with credit at Dundalk last time in a race that didn't go all his own way and he shaped like 7f would suit

For a 50/1 chance, CUBAN DAWN acquitted himself quite well when fourth of six in the Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month. The Teofilo colt split horses rated 92 and 100 and should have a decent chance back in maiden company after that promising debut effort. A tongue-tie is fitted for the first time. On a line through Tetrarch runner-up Drumroll, Time Tells All has strong claims having gone down by just half a length to that horse in a Navan maiden in March. He may be suited by coming back to a mile after finishing third over 1m2f here last month and gets the chance to race on better ground for the first time. Dutch Gold was second in a strong Navan maiden on his final juvenile start and was unlucky in running on his return at Limerick. He didn't appear to have any excuses when a beaten favourite at Gowran last time but stepping back up to a mile should help his cause.

CUBAN DAWN is clearly held in some regard having been pitched into listed company for his debut 16 days ago and he made a pleasing start, ultimately finishing fourth. A tongue tie is quickly applied but that slight worry aside, he's taken to make the most of a drop in class. Dermot Weld saddles 2 with Time Tells All having already displayed plenty of ability, and newcomer Harbour Wind.

On the strength of a Navan second over this trip, it is worth giving TIME TELLS ALL this chance to make amends for a 1m2f Gowran defeat

ROCKVIEW ROMAN ended a long losing run and gained a first win on turf when scoring at Gowran last month. The dual all-weather winner has shown his best form on the grass on easy ground but should be equally effective on a sounder surface and Siobhan Rutledge has an inside draw to work with. Fond Farewell is lightly raced and made a winning reappearance over a furlong farther at Limerick. That was on soft ground and conditions will be quicker here. Magic Charm is from a stable in fine form and has run two solid races so far this season. He was a winner on good ground last term and steps back up in trip. Shona Mea, drawn widest of all, came home well over 1m when second to a subsequent winner at Gowran and is another to consider.

SHONA MEA has run well on both starts this year and was strong at the finish when second at Gowran last time, so she's marginally preferred to Khafaaq, who filled the same position at that track just a week ago. Rockview Roman is also worthy of consideration.

A winner on good ground early last season, MAGIC CHARM does not need to improve much from his first two starts of the season to win
