Dam 1¼m winner out of useful 1½m-1¾m winner Jane Austen. One of 3 representing last year's winning yard and the market should point to which is the stable No 1. One of three for the stable that won this with the top-class Bucanero Fuerte last season.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 -25%) Rowdy Yeats	5 5/1(-25%)	(6) Rowdy Yeats 5/1, Foaled March 16. €26,000 foal, €15,000 yearling, Make Believe colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Amaja. Market check advised. Half-brother to a Polish juvenile winner, dam unraced half-sister to numerous winners.

Dam unraced. Yard has saddled the winner of this maiden 4 times since 2012 and he's one to note in the betting. Half-brother to winners including Listed scorer Wexford Native, stable has often won this.
4	11 4th (11) (7/1 +72%) Marianne North	7 7/1(+72%)	(11) Marianne North 7/1, Foaled February 6. Belardo filly. Dam, 9.7f winner, closely related to 7f/1m winner One Spirit and 7f winner Some Spirit (both useful), out of winning half-sister to high-class 6f-7f winner Diktat. Some of the others are more appealing on paper. Second foal,dam middle-distance winner, closely related to useful 7f winner One Spirit.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +36%) Brosay	9 9/1(+36%)	(3) Brosay 9/1, Foaled March 10. 25,000 gns yearling, Tasleet colt. Dam unraced half-sister to untrustworthy 7f-8.3f winner Jacob Black and 5f/6f winner Blood Moon (both useful). Yard 0-10 with 2-y-os on turf in Ireland. First foal out of unraced dam, enough speed in the pedigree to imply he could be a factor.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 +68%) Far At Sea	8 8/1(+68%)	(9) Far At Sea 8/1, Foaled March 15. Far Above filly. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister useful 1½m-2m winner Mrs Gillow. Others make more appeal on paper. Fifth foal; by smart sprinter Far Above;, no shortage of speed in the pedigree.
7th	7 7th (7) (17/2 +0%) Bobbi Rosa	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(7) Bobbi Rosa 17/2, Foaled February 12. Havana Grey filly. €35,000 yearling. Dam unraced. Yard isn't a frequent source of winning 2-y-o newcomers. First foal, dam unraced half-sister to Soldier's Call who won Flying Childers at two.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 -78%) Linesky	16 16/1(-78%)	(10) Linesky 16/1, Foaled February 15. Inns of Court filly. Dam unraced. Interesting to see how she fares in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemates Arizona Blaze and Charanda. Speed close up in the pedigree though from family of Gold Cup winners Enzeli and Estimate.

LTO Selection:

Stablemates Arizona Blaze and Charanda are respected, but a speculative vote goes to BOBBI ROSA, who has a speedy pedigree

Dam unraced out of winning half-sister to dam of high-class 6f to 1m performer Dutch Art, an excellent family. Check the betting.

6th	16 6th (16) (12/1 -140%) Next Trick	12 12/1(-140%)	(16) Next Trick 12/1, Promising individual. 4/1, third of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, soft) on debut. Off 163 days. Should improve. Made a pleasing late-season debut over 6f at this venue, this extra furlong likely to suit.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/4 +55%) Fleur De Chine	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(8) Fleur De Chine 9/4, Promising type. Third of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 10/3). Off 149 days. Open to progress. Promising debut at Naas last August, coped with heavy ground when third at Leopardstown.

Tongue strap on, ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 100/1) on debut 52 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shaped with some promise on debut at Dundalk in January, heavy going may not be ideal.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 -203%) Lismacbryan	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Lismacbryan 200/1, Kuroshio filly. Dam unraced. From a small stable and not a likely candidate for maiden success first time out.

Closely related to smart 1m-13f winner Marksmanship and 1m winner Goddess of Love and half-sister to 7f winner Goolagong. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Tenth foal out of a 6f Listed winner who has produced several winners, others preferred.
17th	1 17th (1) (200/1 -203%) Charli Sands	200 200/1(-203%)	(1) Charli Sands 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (12f, good), having run of race. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Unplaced in two starts in Britain, unlikely to make an impact in a maiden at this venue.
18th	17 18th (17) (33/1 +0%) Walkswiththestars	33 33/1(+0%)	(17) Walkswiththestars 33/1, 25,000 gns foal, €40,000 yearling, Camelot filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 12.5f), closely related to smart winner up to 9f Latin Love. Camelot filly whose dam did not show much, solid pedigree though, may need further.

Should be in the mix if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance. Yard also saddles Everlasting. Just a Leopardstown maiden win to her name from nine starts, but creditable pattern form.

3	1 3rd (1) (6/4 +77%) Goldana	1.5 6/4(+77%)	(1) Goldana 6/4, Useful mare. 66/1, 9½ lengths last of 8 to Inspiral in Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good to firm), unsuited by way race developed. Off 163 days. Winner of the Gladness Stakes on reappearance here last season and she will be a big player if again ready to roll following a break. Won 7f Group 3 against geldings here on seasonal/yard bow last April; handles heavy well.
4	10 4th (10) (13/2 +19%) Everlasting	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(10) Everlasting 13/2, Twice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 9/2, won 11-runner maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy), responding well. Off 140 days and this represents a significant step up in class but she's clearly a promising filly. Took a nice step forward from her debut when making most on heavy ground at Galway.

7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 -25%) Sli Na Ghealai	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Sli Na Ghealai 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 5-runner nursery (5/2) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy). Off 149 days and she will need to have improved during the winter if she's to follow up here. Won final two juvenile starts readily over 7f, including nursery on heavy at Leopardstown.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +18%) Lady Of Inishfree	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Lady Of Inishfree 33/1, Fairly useful mare. 12 lengths tenth of 12 to Paris Peacock in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good, 15/2), unable to sustain effort. Off 19 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Useful type has been off since August of 2022 and hasn't raced on ground this testing.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -45%) Cadeau Belle	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Cadeau Belle 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Hooded for 1st time, 14¼ lengths last of 12 to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes (80/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) on final run of last season. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won Listed contest over 1m at Navan on good ground last summer; in rear both starts since.
10th	6 10th (6) (100/1 +0%) Peace Of Mine	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Peace Of Mine 100/1, 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft), folding. Off 168 days and back down in trip on first start since leaving the George Boughey stable. New yard has landed 2 of the last 3 runnings of this but she's opposable all the same. 1m2f winner on soft in Britain but 72-rated filly has no chance here on stable debut.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +40%) Chazzesmee	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Chazzesmee 3/1, Two wins from 3 runs last year. 11/1, very good second of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm), running on. Off 8 months but he's still not taken lightly. Won at Naas on heavy before fine second over C&D on better ground over Derby weekend.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 +52%) Smooth Tom	12 12/1(+52%)	(6) Smooth Tom 12/1, Course winner. Well-beaten fifth of 9 to Caldwell Potter in Future Champions Novices' Hurdle (28/1) at Leopardstown (16f, heavy) 82 days ago. Needs to get back on track. 1m2f winner at Leopardstown last May and fit from a productive spell over hurdles.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +68%) Raadobarg	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(1) Raadobarg 9/2, C&D winner. 16/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft). Off 149 days. Stable in good form. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won this off 7lb lower in 2022 on seasonal debut when with Johnny Murtagh; handles heavy.
4	13 4th (13) (25/1 -14%) Casanova	25 25/1(-14%)	(13) Casanova 25/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 25/1). Off 134 days. Merits consideration if back on his A-game. Long losing run, close third in this off 97 last year albeit with the benefit of a prep.
5th	14 5th (14) (22/1 +0%) Earls	22 22/1(+0%)	(14) Earls 22/1, Has possibly gone off the boil, only seventh of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Naas (7f, soft). Off 156 days with work to do. Handles heavy and won a big pot over 7f at Cork last May; probably best around a bend.
6th	12 6th (12) (14/1 -56%) San Aer	14 14/1(-56%)	(12) San Aer 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Galway in October. Very good seventh of 25 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt back on the level. Fourth in this last year and came back to form in the autumn, winning at Galway in October.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -83%) Serious Challenge	33 33/1(-83%)	(3) Serious Challenge 33/1, 9/1, respectable 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft), needing stiffer test. Off 8 months. Makes handicap debut. Possibilities. Fairly highly tried last term over further, beaten no more than 2l on last three starts.
8th	19 8th (19) (40/1 -150%) Green Sky	40 40/1(-150%)	(19) Green Sky 40/1, Thrice-raced winner on Flat. 9/1, good third in juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 51 days ago. More is required however back in this sphere. Fit from hurdling and good claimer rides; unexposed but this looks tough and is 6lb wrong.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 -120%) Simply Sideways	22 22/1(-120%)	(10) Simply Sideways 22/1, Five wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Tipperary in October. 17/2, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy), staying on well. Off 134 days. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won five handicaps last term and mark has gone up nearly 40lb; goes well on heavy.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 -33%) Take Heart	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Take Heart 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Creditable fifth of 22 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 6 months but can't be discounted for good yard. Ran in 1m2f handicaps last term, winning at Naas in between creditable efforts here.
11th	7 11th (7) (8/1 +11%) Rahmi	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Rahmi 8/1, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable sixth of 22 in handicap at this C&D (good). Off 6 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs considering. Beat really good yardstick Dunum over C&D on Guineas weekend last year; best form on good.
12th	20 12th (20) (20/1 +50%) Razdan	20 20/1(+50%)	(20) Razdan 20/1, C&D winner. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 22/1) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Significantly back down in trip. Must improve. Won over C&D on this card last year at a much lower level; surprise if he's up to this.
13th	17 13th (17) (25/1 -213%) Joe Masseria	25 25/1(-213%)	(17) Joe Masseria 25/1, 6/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 148 days ago on his final run for Noel Meade. Can make presence felt for his new handler. Did well for Noel Meade; has his ground and could go well on stable debut; 1lb wrong..
14th	11 14th (11) (33/1 -18%) Mr Lincoln	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Mr Lincoln 33/1, Below form ninth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.5f, soft, 8/1) 50 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, so not ruled out back in this sphere. Fit from hurdling and ground should be okay but handicapper has been slow to relent..
15th	9 15th (9) (16/1 -129%) Lan Cinnte	16 16/1(-129%)	(9) Lan Cinnte 16/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft, 5/4), all out. Off 7 months. Can go well again despite taking a 2 lb rise. Consistent filly last term, winning Galway festival h'cap on final start; has won on soft.
16th	15 16th (15) (6/1 +40%) Tosen Wish	6 6/1(+40%)	(15) Tosen Wish 6/1, Latest win at Southwell in September. 2/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f), clear of rest. That form has been franked so he's expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. Useful AW form in the autumn; fair form on easy turf but doubt he wants it this testing.
17th	18 17th (18) (125/1 -150%) High Honour	125 125/1(-150%)	(18) High Honour 125/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when last of 22 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Tongue strap back on. Not easy to make a case for. Had soft ground form for Charlie Appleby but failed to beat a rival on stable debut here.
18th	8 18th (8) (50/1 -100%) Current Option	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) Current Option 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D (heavy). Off 134 days with more needed. Didn't manage even a placed effort last year despite declining mark; revival called for.
19th	2 19th (2) (8/1 +20%) Snapraeterea	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Snapraeterea 8/1, Latest win at Tipperary in October. 11/2, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Mutasarref in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy). Off 148 days but still much respected. Ground will be right and he won at Listed level for third time at Tipperary in October.

9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 -75%) Eighty Eight	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Eighty Eight 14/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Dundalk (8f) 38 days ago. Booking of McMonagle a plus. Needs a couple of these to falter.

14th	19 14th (19) (14/1 +13%) Grey Fable	14 14/1(+13%)	(19) Grey Fable 14/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 3/1) 62 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Has been disappointing after initial handicap promise; drops in trip, tongue-tie tried.
15th	1 15th (1) (33/1 +0%) Clear Quartz	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Clear Quartz 33/1, 18/1, fifteenth of 22 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy). Off 134 days. Others more persuasive. Goes well on heavy; missed most of last season but ran well at Galway at the backend.

First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Some fair maiden runs on heavy but well held when favourite for pair of AW handicaps.
17th	17 17th (17) (28/1 -133%) Broad Daylight	28 28/1(-133%)	(17) Broad Daylight 28/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy). Off 154 days. Merits consideration. Much better when 2l third over bit further at Gowran (heavy) in October; chance on that.

21st	4 21st (4) (22/1 -214%) Beauty Bella	22 22/1(-214%)	(4) Beauty Bella 22/1, 9/1, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 45 days ago, comfortably. Something to find on form. Plenty of placed form on testing turf and off the mark in maiden over this trip on AW.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +43%) Merisi Diamond	2 2/1(+43%)	(6) Merisi Diamond 2/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at this course (7f, heavy) 139 days ago on his final run for Ms Joanna Morgan. Hiked up 11 lb but has more to offer for his new handler. Player. Won in good style over 7f here on final start last season, now 11lb higher, good chance.
2	19 2nd (19) (18/1 +55%) Dark Viper	18 18/1(+55%)	(19) Dark Viper 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 50/1) 116 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not much encouragement from his form for Richard Hannon, gelded now, cheekpieces on.
3	13 3rd (13) (12/1 -85%) Master Garvey	12 12/1(-85%)	(13) Master Garvey 12/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 94 days. Back down in trip. In the mix. 19-race maiden; decent placed form on turf last summer, never quite at best at Dundalk.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -29%) Downforce	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Downforce 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft), running on late. Off 9 months but this veteran still merits consideration. Eight-time winner, well suited by testing conditions, worth considering on that basis.
5th	14 5th (14) (14/1 +13%) Bright Image	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) Bright Image 14/1, 14/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f). Off 103 days and one to consider. Not certain to be suited by heavy ground, produced a solid display at Dundalk in December.
6th	16 6th (16) (20/1 +0%) Gegenpressing	20 20/1(+0%)	(16) Gegenpressing 20/1, 10/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 62 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. In fair form at Dundalk lately but overall turf form is patchy, others are more appealing.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -100%) The Stray Sod	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) The Stray Sod 66/1, 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 33 days ago. Others appeal more. Never in first three, fourth of seven at Dundalk her best effort, poor recent Dundalk run..
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +24%) Rattletheonionbag	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Rattletheonionbag 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Dundalk (8f) 38 days ago. Back down in trip. Placed on AW and on turf, lightly raced, hard to fancy after a poor Dundalk run last month.
9th	1 9th (1) (5/1 +50%) Mercurial	5 5/1(+50%)	(1) Mercurial 5/1, Creditable second of 19 in handicap (16/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 139 days. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 1-25 record a concern but ended the season with C&D second on heavy ground.
10th	17 10th (17) (16/1 -100%) Liberty Looming	16 16/1(-100%)	(17) Liberty Looming 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when sixth of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 139 days. Makes handicap debut. Needs another step forward. Ridden by a 10lb claimer when showing improvement on final 2023 start, definite chance.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -75%) Guest Star	28 28/1(-75%)	(12) Guest Star 28/1, 9/2, last of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 62 days ago. First run for yard after leaving D. J. Bunyan & G. O'Leary and others are preferred. Well-exposed sort is now looking regressive after three moderate runs Dundalk.
12th	11 12th (11) (22/1 -57%) Angel On Fire	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Angel On Fire 22/1, Winner at Gowran in October. Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 14/1), badly hampered. Off 140 days but enters calculations. Handled heavy ground well when winning at Gowran last season, this trip may be inadequate.
13th	5 13th (5) (10/1 +17%) Conversant	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Conversant 10/1, C&D winner. Below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7f, heavy). Off 134 days with more needed. Suited by very soft ground, of some interest here with Colin Keane booked.
14th	10 14th (10) (25/1 -25%) Land Lover	25 25/1(-25%)	(10) Land Lover 25/1, 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f). Off 157 days. First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster with more needed. Early promise in Britain last season, became disappointing, best watched on Irish debut.
15th	15 15th (15) (10/1 +38%) Timeonourside	10 10/1(+38%)	(15) Timeonourside 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy, 80/1). Off 139 days. Booking of Hassett a plus so he's much respected on his handicap debut. Ran creditably at a big price in a C&D maiden on final start at two, of some interest now.
16th	3 16th (3) (28/1 +15%) Livingston Range	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Livingston Range 28/1, First run since leaving Leanne Breen when last of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 18/1) 10 days ago so needs to bounce back. Fit from action at Dundalk but hard to make a strong case for him, best on good ground.
17th	9 17th (9) (80/1 -567%) Jackie Brown	80 80/1(-567%)	(9) Jackie Brown 80/1, Respectable fifteenth of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Naas (5.9f, good). Off 6 months.
