1	6 1st (6) (6.5/1 -8%) Bellaphina		6.5 6.5/1(-8%)																															(6) Bellaphina 6.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 20/1, won 15-runner maiden at Limerick (7f, soft) 34 days ago, keeping on well. Makes handicap debut. Shaped well in two outings at two, has trained on well judged on Limerick win, good chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +73%) Clounmacon		2.75 2.75/1(+73%)																															(2) Clounmacon 2.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, 11½ lengths seventh of 11 to Zarinsk in Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Dundalk maiden winner, tried in a Group 3 last time, definite chance in this company.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 -33%) Snowcapped		3 3/1(-33%)																															(5) Snowcapped 3/1, Promising individual. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Won 9-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft, 7/2) 25 days ago. More to come. Leading claims. Emphatic course 7f winner in first handicap, 11lb higher but likely to remain competitive.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 -45%) Tea Olive		8 8/1(-45%)																															(9) Tea Olive 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Gowran in April. 10/3, good second of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Should give another good account. Winner and twice second from three starts this term, win was over this trip, yard in form.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Impact Warrior		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Impact Warrior 3.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 6 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 2/1) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Just touched off in a conditions event at Killarney, may be vulnerable under a big weight.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Vernet		11 11/1(-10%)																															(4) Vernet 11/1, Course winner. 13/1, 12½ lengths last of 7 to Wed in Prix du Calvados at Deauville (7f, good). Off 9 months. Yard in good form. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed. Course 7f maiden winner last July, only subsequent run was in Group 2 race in France.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Semantics		33 33/1(-106%)																															(8) Semantics 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 22/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Went close at Bellewstown first time out, failed to build on that in subsequent outings.
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -79%) Amazing Show		50 50/1(-79%)																															(3) Amazing Show 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time. Big price when ridden by Colin Keane on handicap debut and now rejected by the champion.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 +0%) Cyber Attack		16 16/1(+0%)																															(7) Cyber Attack 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, below form 9¾ lengths eighth of 15 to Bellaphina in maiden at Limerick (7f, soft) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Consistent but not progressive last season, soundly beaten behind Bellaphina at Limerick.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -60%) Angel Above		40 40/1(-60%)																															(10) Angel Above 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Dundalk in January. Good third of 10 in minor event at Dundalk (8f, 20/1). Off 105 days. Makes handicap debut. Not without a chance on her Dundalk form, poor on only turf outing but that was on debut.

LTO Selection:

Bellaphina surprised a few when winning a Limerick maiden in comprehensive style last month, giving the impression this extra furlong could bring out further improvement. However, the vote goes to the hat-trick seeking SNOWCAPPED, who was a most impressive scorer over 7f here earlier this month and can defy the 11lb rise she received for that success. Tea Olive is another who makes appeal having performed well on all three starts so far this season.

Jessica Harrington might be set for a second successive win in this useful fillies' handicap courtesy of the progressive SNOWCAPPED, who was well on top at the finish over 7f here last time and can make light of an 11 lb rise with the return to 1m in her favour. There should be more to come from Impact Warrior now handicapping and she's feared most ahead of Tea Olive, who has done well in lower-grade handicaps this spring.

Limerick maiden winner BELLAPHINA does not look badly treated for her handicap debut and can fly the flag for a small stable

1	6 1st (6) (0.73/1 +27%) Subzero		0.73 0.73/1(+27%)																															(6) Subzero 0.73/1, Twice-raced colt. 2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, second of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, heavy) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to go well again with blinkers discarded. Big run when 4th on debut and progressed when 2nd at Leopardstown this month; form boosted.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +0%) Space Age		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Space Age 10/1, Offered plenty to work on both starts as a juvenile, again displaying fair form when sixth in 20-runner Naas maiden (1m) in November. Gelded ahead of return and he promises to do better again, particularly in handicaps. Promise in a pair of maidens at 2; gelded since and quicker ground for his return.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 +50%) Hotaugustnight		33 33/1(+50%)																															(8) Hotaugustnight 33/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (1m, good to firm, 16/1) on debut 5 days ago, very slowly away. Best watched. Slowly away when 10th on Sunday and drop to 7f isn't certain to help; needs progress.
4	7 4th (7) (2.5/1 +0%) The Franchise		2.5 2.5/1(+0%)																															(7) The Franchise 2.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Twelfth of 19 in valuable minor event (12/1) at this C&D (good to soft) in September, brief headway under 2f out but unable to land a blow. However, debut third here previously was a solid display and feasible to think he can get back on track now. Beaten 3l on debut; not as good in Goffs Million here but return to faster ground may help.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 +0%) Lope De Rueda		33 33/1(+0%)																															(4) Lope De Rueda 33/1, Once-raced colt. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 25/1) on debut in January, taking a strong hold in mid-division and ultimately one paced. Did cost plenty as a yearling however, and feasible to think he can do better somewhere down the line. Green when beaten 6l over 7f in AW maiden on debut; can progress but form has been knocked.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 -13%) Dream Escape		18 18/1(-13%)																															(1) Dream Escape 18/1, Once-raced gelding. Fair form when seventh of 24 in maiden (28/1) at this course (10f, soft) on debut in September, racing freely in lead until weakening final 1f. Could well do better now as a 4-y-o but no easy task conceding weight all round. Beaten 8l in promising debut here last year and shorter trip may suit.
7th	2 7th (2) (7/1 -40%) Beyond The Steps		7 7/1(-40%)																															(2) Beyond The Steps 7/1, €300,000 foal, €630,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 2-y-o 6f winner and Lucky Vega and winner up to 5.5f Lady Clair. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for very good yard so very much of interest on debut. 630,000Eur yearling; half-brother to Lucky Vega; yard can ready one but tough ask on debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (150/1 -50%) Go Til Its Over		150 150/1(-50%)																															(3) Go Til Its Over 150/1, Where Or When gelding. Half-brother to 8.6f/9.4f winner Out On Friday. Dam unraced. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow. Son of Where Or When; half-brother to winner over further; best watched on debut.

LTO Selection:

---

SUBZERO was a clear second behind a progressive type, who has since come out and franked the form in Listed company, last time out over 7f at Leopardstown, and a repeat of that effort would make him very tough to beat. The Franchise is fancied to pose the biggest threat based on the form of his racecourse debut third last August over C&D. Beyond The Steps heads the remainder.

SUBZERO took a step forward on his sole start as a juvenile when runner-up in first-time blinkers (discarded here) at Leopardstown (7.2f) 19 days ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him get off the mark. The Franchise rates the chief danger but market support behind appealing newcomer Beyond The Steps would put a different slant on things.

It was an encouraging return from SUBZERO (nap). With the form boosted and the potential of him coming on for that, he's the one to beat

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +61%) Verhoyen		5.5 5.5/1(+61%)																															(7) Verhoyen 5.5/1, 4-time course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 19 in handicap (20/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Won this last year and back below last winning mark but drying ground is against him.
2	4 2nd (4) (25/1 -79%) Ice Cold In Alex		25 25/1(-79%)																															(4) Ice Cold In Alex 25/1, 4-time course winner. 40/1, last of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Career best form is at this venue; probably needed his return and warrants respect.
3	15 3rd (15) (10/1 -11%) Midnight Fire		10 10/1(-11%)																															(15) Midnight Fire 10/1, Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win here in April. 10/3, bit below form eleventh of 24 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 25 days ago. 3-time course winner; won here on return and stayed on well over 7f latest; respected.
4	16 4th (16) (11/1 +31%) Jered Maddox		11 11/1(+31%)																															(16) Jered Maddox 11/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Respectable twelfth of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 16/1) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 5-time AW winner; ran well in defeat at Cork last time when fading late; may do better.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 -65%) No Niki No		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) No Niki No 33/1, 16/1, ninth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (8f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Wears blinkers. Must improve. Won twice in France towards end of last year; stiff mark for return and may need it softer.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -79%) Exquisite Acclaim		25 25/1(-79%)																															(2) Exquisite Acclaim 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Respectable 4 lengths fourth of 12 to She's In The Game in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (7f) 63 days ago. Sole win came on AW in 2021; some good runs on AW this winter but others on better marks.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -40%) Half Nutz		28 28/1(-40%)																															(9) Half Nutz 28/1, C&D winner. 14/1, last of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 20 days ago. Encouraging 3rd on AW earlier this year; not as good twice since; best turf form on soft.
8th	12 8th (12) (4/1 +11%) Touching Clouds		4 4/1(+11%)																															(12) Touching Clouds 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner maiden (6/4) at Gowran (7f, good), responding well. Off 8 months. Trainer going well. Makes handicap debut. Another bold show likely. Off the mark at 4th attempt in fillies' maiden when last seen and opening mark looks fair.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 +50%) Toriangel		10 10/1(+50%)																															(13) Toriangel 10/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 16/1) 37 days ago. Sole win came on AW last year; below form latest; doesn't look well treated on turf.
10th	11 10th (11) (20/1 +39%) Hightimeyouwon		20 20/1(+39%)																															(11) Hightimeyouwon 20/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. Last of 16 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 16/1) 34 days ago. Winner on AW but seems to have lost his way; return to quicker ground needs to help.
11th	14 11th (14) (8/1 +11%) Bells On Her Toes		8 8/1(+11%)																															(14) Bells On Her Toes 8/1, Bit below form thirteenth of 24 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 7/1) 25 days ago. Visor back on. 1-17; wasn't beaten far over 6f latest; return to 7f may help; best form on softer ground.
12th	8 12th (8) (8/1 +20%) Might And Mercy		8 8/1(+20%)																															(8) Might And Mercy 8/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 4/1) 45 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Below par on AW when last seen but had looked progressive before that; may resume progress.
13th	6 13th (6) (20/1 +0%) Big Baby Bull		20 20/1(+0%)																															(6) Big Baby Bull 20/1, C&D winner. 28/1, last of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft) 34 days ago. Tongue strap back on. C&D winner; ended losing run at Naas last year but struggled for new yard.
14th	17 14th (17) (33/1 -65%) Maid To Shine		33 33/1(-65%)																															(17) Maid To Shine 33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f), driven out. Off 91 days. First run for yard after leaving P. J. Hassett. Off the mark in AW maiden in February; off 3 months and has to prove as effective on turf.
15th	1 15th (1) (6/1 +14%) Miramis		6 6/1(+14%)																															(1) Miramis 6/1, Good third of 8 in handicap at Gowran (8f, soft, 7/2) 16 days ago. Came on from return when 3rd in fillies' h'cap latest; this is tougher; may need further.
16th	3 16th (3) (10/1 -82%) She's In The Game		10 10/1(-82%)																															(3) She's In The Game 10/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 12/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) 63 days ago. Player. Progressive since switching to AW; bids for hat-trick but may be vulnerable back on turf.
17th	5 17th (5) (66/1 -65%) Shanghai Dragon		66 66/1(-65%)																															(5) Shanghai Dragon 66/1, 25/1, 11 lengths thirteenth of 14 to Might And Mercy in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 84 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Visor back on. Won fillies' h'caps (1m) in 2022; out of form on AW latest and 4lb above last winning mark.

LTO Selection:

SHE'S IN THE GAME returned from a break to strike at Dundalk and now goes off an 11lb higher mark. Considering the manner of that victory, the daughter of Starspangledbanner is fancied to make it three out of her last three to continue on her upward curve. The main threat might be Miramis, who steps back down in distance after a solid third at Gowran Park and is just 1lb higher. Touching Clouds completes the shortlist on her handicap bow.

TOUCHING CLOUDS beat a subsequent winner when winning her maiden at Gowran last summer and she surely has more to offer now handicapping given her pedigree/connections. She's In The Game enhanced her excellent strike rate for this rider at Dundalk in March so must be respected along with Midnight Fire, who wasn't seen to best effect here last time.

A competitive contest but JERED MADDOX ran well for a long way in a decent race at Cork last week and drying ground will suit

1	13 1st (13) (18/1 +18%) Rahmi		18 18/1(+18%)																															(13) Rahmi 18/1, First run since leaving Francis-Henri Graffard when 7¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Dunum in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 11/1) on IRE debut 34 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt but this another tough enough ask. 7f winner in France, needs to show considerable improvement from Limerick run last month.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +50%) Dunum		4 4/1(+50%)																															(6) Dunum 4/1, Very progressive last term, winning 4 big-field handicaps prior to a good second over 7f here final start. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Limerick (1m) on return to action 5 weeks ago and that may not prove his limit on that evidence. Respected. Winner of five of his six starts for this stable, 11lb rise for latest win may anchor him.
3	15 3rd (15) (25/1 +11%) Adelaise		25 25/1(+11%)																															(15) Adelaise 25/1, First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft, 22/1). Off 8 months. Hood on 1st time. AW winner in Britain, unable to make her presence felt over 7f here on Irish debut, hooded.
4	16 4th (16) (8/1 +6%) No More Porter		8 8/1(+6%)																															(16) No More Porter 8/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable 3 lengths sixth of 19 to Earls in handicap (7/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Has tended to reserve best form for this venue, respected on basis of Irish Lincoln fifth.
5th	3 5th (3) (50/1 +0%) Current Option		50 50/1(+0%)																															(3) Current Option 50/1, 22/1, 13¾ lengths fifteenth of 19 to Earls in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago, effort over 2f out and folding. Needs to get back on track. Three-time winner of the Ahonoora Handicap over 7f at Galway, trainer has better chances.
6th	17 6th (17) (6.5/1 +28%) Gambe Veloci		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(17) Gambe Veloci 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 16-runner maiden at Limerick (8f, soft, 2/1) 34 days ago, driven clear. Trainer going well and feasible to expect further progress now handicapping. Did not help handicap prospects with ease of Limerick maiden win, has gone up 11lb.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -14%) Final Voyage		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Final Voyage 16/1, Off the mark in good style for this yard at Lingfield (1m) in April and backed that up when very good 2¾ lengths fourth of 19 to Earls in Mallow Handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago, ridden 2f out and keeping on. Entitled to remain competitive. All six wins on AW including valuable 1m handicap at Lingfield, fourth to Earls at Cork.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -12%) Saltonstall		28 28/1(-12%)																															(2) Saltonstall 28/1, C&D winner. 5/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Tipperary (7.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Return to this big-field scenario rates a plus and he's a live each-way player. Has contested two non-handicaps since Irish Lincoln second, perhaps best of five for yard.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 -83%) Flame Of Eire		22 22/1(-83%)																															(4) Flame Of Eire 22/1, Progressed well last term, rattling off quick-fire 4-timer in handicaps at up to 9f at Leopardstown in September before good fourth at Listed level final start. Entitled to be sharper for his return in C&D Group 3 in March. Won four handicaps in a row last year before sights were raised, further progress possible.
10th	9 10th (9) (66/1 -32%) Howyoulikethat		66 66/1(-32%)																															(9) Howyoulikethat 66/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Dundalk (1m) in December, headway over 1f out and not quicken. This rates a tough enough ask returning from 6 months off. Better strike-rate on AW, now 23lb higher than at the time of his sole win on turf.
11th	11 11th (11) (7.5/1 -25%) Tosen Wish		7.5 7.5/1(-25%)																															(11) Tosen Wish 7.5/1, Promising sort. First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when good 2¾ lengths fifth of 19 to Earls in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 20/1) 21 days ago, finishing well. Has to be taken seriously. Dundalk winner, made an encouraging start for this stable when fifth to Earls at Cork.
12th	20 12th (20) (28/1 -27%) Coins Cross		28 28/1(-27%)																															(20) Coins Cross 28/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap (11/2) at this course (7f, heavy) by 2 lengths from San Aer, kept up to work. Off 7 months and revised mark demands more now. Ground was heavy when he won over 7f here on final start last season, has run well on good.
13th	19 13th (19) (14/1 +58%) Vocal Studies		14 14/1(+58%)																															(19) Vocal Studies 14/1, 14/1, bit below form 5¼ lengths tenth of 19 to Earls in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago, not clear run final 1f and never better than midfield. Eased 2 lb ahead of this so not ruled out for each-way purposes. Started season encouragingly with Naas second, has failed to build on that display.
14th	14 14th (14) (20/1 +0%) San Aer		20 20/1(+0%)																															(14) San Aer 20/1, Course winner. 10 lengths fourteenth of 19 to Earls in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 9/1) 21 days ago, not clear run. Others more persuasive. Progressive over 7f/1m last year and fourth in Irish Lincoln on return, not as good since.
15th	12 15th (12) (25/1 +24%) Pierre Lapin		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) Pierre Lapin 25/1, 11¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Dunum in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 18/1) 34 days ago, never a threat. Others make greater appeal. Not badly handicapped on his old form but has been unable to exploit similar opportunities.
16th	8 16th (8) (20/1 -82%) Earls		20 20/1(-82%)																															(8) Earls 20/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 28/1, career best when winning 19-runner Mallow handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago by ½ length from All Lies Ahead. Deserving of extra credit having come around the whole field then and he's another in the mix. Good money-spinner last season, back to form in style with Cork win from All Lies Ahead.
17th	10 17th (10) (6/1 +8%) All Lies Ahead		6 6/1(+8%)																															(10) All Lies Ahead 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Leopardstown in April. 7/2, good ½-length second of 19 to Earls in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Stable in good form. Merits consideration. Has matured into a reliable mare, likely to go close again after Cork second to Earls.
18th	1 18th (1) (10/1 +55%) I Am Superman		10 10/1(+55%)																															(1) I Am Superman 10/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 12/1, threatened more for a long way when seventeenth of 27 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 62 days ago. Eased 2 lb subsequently with Colin Keane booked but others make more appeal. High-class form in Australia, now back with original trainer, others make more appeal.
19th	5 19th (5) (18/1 -13%) Point Gellibrand		18 18/1(-13%)																															(5) Point Gellibrand 18/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who confirmed previous promise to open account in a Leopardstown maiden (10f) in July. Not disgraced but never managed to land a telling blow when last of 6 in Group 3 Royal Whip final start but he may yet have more to offer in handicaps this campaign. Final run last season was in a Group 2 race, potentially interesting now on handicap debut.
20th	18 20th (18) (22/1 -10%) Loingseoir		22 22/1(-10%)																															(18) Loingseoir 22/1, C&D winner. 9/2, good neck second of 12 to All Lies Ahead in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 51 days ago, keeping on well. Can make presence felt. Two good runs at Leopardstown early last month, beat Coins Cross over 7f here last October.

Dunum continues to go from strength to strength and was a clear-cut winner on his Limerick return, while Earls burst back into life when denying All Lies Ahead at Cork. Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand and while there is no denying Gambe Veloci was impressive when breaking through at Limerick, a chance is taken on his returning stablemate POINT GELLIBRAND, who has been set some stiff assignments. Tosen Wish, a former inmate of O'Brien's, caught the eye when fifth in Earls' Cork race.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims, and it could pay to take a chance on Cork eye-catcher TOSEN WISH. Very much catching the eye in the race won by re-opposing Earls on that occasion, he remains low-mileage on the back of just 4 career starts and can prove his mark lenient. Dunum, All Lies Ahead and aforementioned Earls head up the dangers in an ultra-competitive handicap.

Perhaps the most interesting runner is POINT GELLIBRAND, who is unexposed in handicap terms and may now prosper at four.

Can make presence felt. 6-18 and arrives bidding for a 4-timer; up another 10lb but highly progressive sort.
12	12 (12) (5.5/1 +15%) Heavenly Power		5.5 5.5/1(+15%)																															(12) Heavenly Power 5.5/1, C&D winner. Bit below form 3¾ lengths fifth of 16 to Jon Riggens in handicap at Navan (5f, soft, 9/2) 13 days ago, never nearer. Both wins over C&D; creditable return behind some of these; will relish return to 6f here.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +33%) Gustavus Weston		6 6/1(+33%)																															(4) Gustavus Weston 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap (11/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Has won 3 Group races over C&D; losing run since 2021; dangerous mark back at 6f.
10	10 (10) (8/1 +27%) Stag Night		8 8/1(+27%)																															(10) Stag Night 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 22-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 11/1). Off 13 months. Trainer going well. Should go well again. Belated hat-trick bid having won sole start of 2022 but might need this one.
13	13 (13) (8.5/1 -6%) Swift Flight		8.5 8.5/1(-6%)																															(13) Swift Flight 8.5/1, Good neck second of 13 to Hurricane Ivor in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (heavy) 40 days ago, finishing well. Another who can't be discounted. 1-18; in good form and only beaten a neck latest but probably wants it softer.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +17%) Carrytheone		10 10/1(+17%)																															(1) Carrytheone 10/1, Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 2½ lengths fourth of 7 to Goldana in Gladness Stakes (9/2) at this course (7f, heavy) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Promising start to career but no wins since 2021; best form is over further; cheekpieces.
11	11 (11) (11/1 -120%) Jon Riggens		11 11/1(-120%)																															(11) Jon Riggens 11/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Navan (5f, soft, 5/1) 13 days ago by head from Tawaazon. On the upgrade recently. Just got the better of Tawaazon earlier in month; best form on softer ground at 5f though.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +14%) Hurricane Ivor		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Hurricane Ivor 12/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win here in April. 2¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Moss Tucker in listed race (15/2) at Naas (5f, heavy) 32 days ago. Gr 3 winner in his pomp; won over C&D last month and good run in Listed class since.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +13%) Dream Today		14 14/1(+13%)																															(9) Dream Today 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Respectable 3 lengths third of 14 to Dandyville in handicap (20/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 20 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Creditable effort back on turf latest but may struggle to reverse form with Dandyville.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +60%) Laugh A Minute		16 16/1(+60%)																															(5) Laugh A Minute 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Below form twelfth of 19 in handicap (22/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Course winner who was in good form and had excuses last time out; may return to form.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -67%) Tawaazon		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) Tawaazon 20/1, 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. 8/1, good head second of 16 to Jon Riggens in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 13 days ago. In form of his life at present and only beaten a head when caught late last time; up 5lb.
15	15 (15) (22/1 -57%) Greek Flower		22 22/1(-57%)																															(15) Greek Flower 22/1, 20/1, good third of 24 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 25 days ago. Career best when beaten half a length last time but 9lb wrong this time.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -10%) Anthem National		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Anthem National 22/1, 66/1, respectable 5¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Ladies Church in listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago, barely adequate test. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Hasn't really progressed for this yard; best efforts have come at 7f.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -10%) Mickey The Steel		22 22/1(-10%)																															(6) Mickey The Steel 22/1, 13/2, respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 16 to Jon Riggens in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Won back-to-back last term and returned in good form this year; might have preferred rain.
14	14 (14) (22/1 +12%) Secret Magician		22 22/1(+12%)																															(14) Secret Magician 22/1, C&D winner. 5/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Sole win came in C&D maiden; below form this term; return to 6f may help but 2lb wrong.

A fiendishly difficult race to unpick in which many would appear to hold chances, so only a tentative vote can go to the form horse DANDYVILLE. Natalia Lupini's charge racked up a brace of successes at Dundalk in November before returning with a decisive victory at Naas, so a subsequent 10lb rise might not be enough to stop him from completing the four-timer. Others to note include Hurricane Ivor, Tawaazon, Jon Riggens and last year's runner up Mickey The Steel.

Lots with chances in this very competitive handicap. DREAM TODAY made a solid return to turf when third to the reopposing Dandyville at Naas 3 weeks ago and is taken to turn the tables on 10 lb better terms. Natalia Lupini's charge is unlikely to go down without a fight as he bids for a 4-timer and is second choice ahead of recent Navan 1-2 Jon Riggens and Tawaazon.

It's hard to get away from DANDYVILLE who returned with a third win on the spin at Naas this month and he can come on for that

3	3 (3) (3/1 +50%) Facethepuckout		3 3/1(+50%)																															(3) Facethepuckout 3/1, Course winner. 13/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks competitive on form. Won twice towards end of last term; only beaten 1l latest and 1lb rise is fair.
18	18 (18) (7.5/1 +58%) Akmaam		7.5 7.5/1(+58%)																															(18) Akmaam 7.5/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. 14/1, creditable seventh of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 9 days ago, pushed along over 1f out and keeping on. Return to 1m a plus here. Only beaten 2l when 7th last week; should relish return to 1m; on a good mark.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +50%) Coeur D'or		10 10/1(+50%)																															(2) Coeur D'or 10/1, Improved for fitting of a tongue tie late last year, landing a Laytown maiden (7f) prior to finishing a solid third in big field C&D handicap on final start. Shaped a lot better than distance beaten suggests over hurdles thereafter and he may not have reached his limit in this sphere. Laytown maiden winner; tailed off over timber when last seen; may need it softer.
16	16 (16) (11/1 +39%) Eloquent Arthur		11 11/1(+39%)																															(16) Eloquent Arthur 11/1, Back to winning ways over 1m in August and ended last term in good form, fifth in 18-runner Leopardstown handicap (10f) on final start. Seemingly working his way back to form in pair of outings so far this campaign and not out of things from easing mark. Better recent form has come over further on soft; below par in 2 runs this term.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -20%) Jaafel		12 12/1(-20%)																															(13) Jaafel 12/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, soft, 33/1) 25 days ago, left with lot to do. Not taken lightly. Won 3 on AW in winter; hasn't replicated that on turf; return to quicker ground may help.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +0%) My Minervina		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) My Minervina 12/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (8f, soft, 11/2) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Won 3 on turf for Jessica Harrington last term; possibly unsuited by soft at Gowran latest.
22	22 (22) (14/1 +13%) Old Peculier		14 14/1(+13%)																															(22) Old Peculier 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Reserve 1. 0-4 but more promise last time and on a good mark for handicap debut; reserve.
15	15 (15) (16/1 -14%) A Shin Undine		16 16/1(-14%)																															(15) A Shin Undine 16/1, Career best when winning 17-runner handicap (17/2) at Gowran (9.4f, soft) 16 days ago, just holding on. Cheekpieces back on. Off the mark at 16th attempt but not sure to follow up over shorter on quicker ground.
1	1 (1) (16/1 +11%) Benavente		16 16/1(+11%)																															(1) Benavente 16/1, 7f winner who was in good form on AW earlier this year, again finding only one too good at Dundalk (7f) when last seen in March. However, his task is to back that up now returned to turf on back of 2 months off. In good form on AW this year; fast ground on turf should be fine if fully tuned up.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +20%) Helpmeout		16 16/1(+20%)																															(11) Helpmeout 16/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022, doubling career tally over this trip at Leopardstown (1m) in July. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f) on final start in August and not out of things on return to action now. Won twice over 1m last summer but need career best on back of 268-day absence.
14	14 (14) (16/1 +27%) Sirjack Thomas		16 16/1(+27%)																															(14) Sirjack Thomas 16/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, last of 11 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 21 days ago, never landing a blow. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Losing run goes back to Galway 2021 win; form has dipped again of late; prefers soft.
19	19 (19) (18/1 +0%) Extensio		18 18/1(+0%)																															(19) Extensio 18/1, Course winner. 3/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) in November, needing stiffer test. This run may just bring him on following 6 months off. In good form at the end of last season but he needs further than this.
6	6 (6) (18/1 +64%) Giselles Ausie		18 18/1(+64%)																															(6) Giselles Ausie 18/1, Exploits proved mixed in handful of starts last year but entitled to be sharper for reappearance run when eleventh in 13-runner Leopardstown handicap (10f) 7 days ago. Worth noting if the market speaks in her favour. No wins since debut; slowly away on recent return; can't afford slow start over 1m.
20	20 (20) (20/1 -11%) Secret Spy		20 20/1(-11%)																															(20) Secret Spy 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Cork (8f, soft) 21 days ago, driven entering straight and never nearer. Still, it remains early days with him at least. Didn't build on maiden promise in h'cap latest; may have found ground too testing.
17	17 (17) (22/1 +33%) Monzoon		22 22/1(+33%)																															(17) Monzoon 22/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in October, weakening quickly. However, he did run well on his respective return last season and the handicapper has afforded him a chance. 2nd on back of similar absence last term; this is tougher and last on AW when last seen.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -389%) Giuseppe Cassioli		22 22/1(-389%)																															(4) Giuseppe Cassioli 22/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving G. O'Leary. 3 wins have come on AW but showed he's as effective on turf last summer; gelded, new yard.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +45%) Gradulations		22 22/1(+45%)																															(10) Gradulations 22/1, 5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago, losing all chance at start. Back down in trip. Sole win came in Sligo maiden over further and up against it over 1m on this ground.
12	12 (12) (25/1 -25%) Relevant Range		25 25/1(-25%)																															(12) Relevant Range 25/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner maiden (10/3) at Dundalk (8f) 56 days ago, pushed out. More on his plate returned to handicaps but consistency ought to stand him in good stead. Off the mark on AW latest and looks well treated back in h'cap; just as effective on turf.
24	24 (24) (28/1 -75%) Darkdeserthighway		28 28/1(-75%)																															(24) Darkdeserthighway 28/1, Nineteenth of 25 in handicap (11/1) at Cork (7f, good) 9 days ago, never involved on the back of 5 months off. Refitting of blinkers may put an extra edge on him here if getting a run. Reserve 3. Probably needed last week's return and would be a big player if she got a run; reserve.
5	5 (5) (50/1 +0%) Dare To Flare		50 50/1(+0%)																															(5) Dare To Flare 50/1, Unreliable sort who finished last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) in December, somewhat typically very slowly away. Returns to action with yard in good form but he can ill afford a tardy start here. Tailed off on AW when last seen; probably needs a bit further than this these days.

In a competitive handicap A Shin Undine may prove popular after winning off a 7lb lower mark at Gowran Park. She can go well over this reduced trip, but preference is for FACETHEPUCKOUT, who was unlucky in running before coming home third at Naas and races off just a pound higher here. Others worthy of a place on the shortlist are Secret Spy and Helpmeout.

FACETHEPUCKOUT showed the benefit of his reappearance run and was arguably unlucky not to win when meeting interference at a crucial point when third at Naas (1m) 5 days ago and, unsurprisingly turned out quickly, he could well be up to making amends again partnered by Colin Keane. Dagoda remains a maiden but is knocking on the door and is feared, with Eloquent Arthur, Jaafel and Relevant Range others fancied to feature.

RELEVANT RANGE appears to be on a good mark back in a handicap and he's looked just as good on turf in the past

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
