Half-sister to several winners, including smart 7f winner King Zain and 9f winner Dark Side. Dam, 1m-9.4f winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 13f Youmzain and high-class 7f/1m winner Creachadoir. Interesting. Newcomer from respected source, has to be considered.
2	6 2nd (6) (20/1 +0%) Greenfinch	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Greenfinch 20/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (7f, good to soft, 11/2) on debut 29 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Open to progress. Never sighted on recent Punchestown debut; tongue tie now tried.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +65%) Evening Blossom	7 7/1(+65%)	(4) Evening Blossom 7/1, Foaled April 5. €30,000 foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Australia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m-1¾m winner Songo and 1¼m/11f winner Smudo. Dam 7f winner. Lots to like. Australia filly a 50,000gns yearling; market best guide on debut.
4	7 4th (7) (25/1 -25%) Osprey	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Osprey 25/1, Shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 6/1) on debut 13 days ago, not knocked about. Bred to be smart, so should progress. Never better than midfield on recent Dundalk debut; better for the experience.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +54%) Betula	3 3/1(+54%)	(2) Betula 3/1, Promising type. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when 7 lengths seventh of 8 to Vespertilio in Debutante Stakes at this C&D (good to soft, 20/1) 54 days ago. Capable of better still and well up to winning a race of this nature. Two solid C&D runs and should be thereabouts.
6th	14 6th (14) (4/1 +33%) Wendla	4 4/1(+33%)	(14) Wendla 4/1, 9/2, produced a promising first effort when second of 8 in maiden at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Should improve so would be folly to ignore. Cork debut second for whom drop in trip no problem and looks set for a bold showing.
7th	5 7th (5) (7/1 -211%) Everlasting	7 7/1(-211%)	(5) Everlasting 7/1, Foaled April 8. Kingman filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Adelaide River. Dam, 7f winner (stayed 1m), half-sister to high-class US 2-y-o 1m/8.5f (Breeders' Cup Juvenile) winner Uncle Mo. Obvious claims. Half-sister to 1m (2yo) and 2023 1m4f (Group 3) winner Adelaide River the Ballydoyle pick.

9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 +24%) Anvika	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Anvika 50/1, 80/1, shaped as if in need of the experience faced with a pretty stiff task when eighth of 12 in minor event at this course (6.3f, good to soft) on debut 32 days ago, slowly away. Should improve. Creditable debut here last month in the circumstances; improvement likely.
10th	16 10th (16) (200/1 -60%) Wing Glider	200 200/1(-60%)	(16) Wing Glider 200/1, Foaled April 3. Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to 10.3f winner God Knows. Dam 11.3f/1½m winner who stayed 17f. Free Eagle filly an unlikely one to make an immediate impact.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 +24%) Victoria Kesia	50 50/1(+24%)	(13) Victoria Kesia 50/1, Foaled February 7. €14,000 foal, €25,000 yearling, Territories filly. Dam 1½m winner out of useful 1m-9.5f winner Caserta. Territories filly likely all the better for the experience.
12th	10 12th (10) (66/1 +0%) Serialise	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Serialise 66/1, Foaled February 28. Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam 7f winner. Yard also runs Betula. Others with more appeal on breeding and market likely best guide on debut.
13th	9 13th (9) (33/1 -106%) Saxon Land	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Saxon Land 33/1, Showed plenty to work on when third of 10 in maiden (22/1) at Down Royal (7f, soft) on debut 17 days ago, having to pick way through. May well do better. Promising Down Royal debut much this looks a much stronger maiden.
14th	3 14th (3) (150/1 -127%) Dream Ticket	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Dream Ticket 150/1, 11/2, did no better for debut when ninth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) 17 days ago. Hasn't counted in maidens at Naas and Down Royal; eligible for a mark after this.
15th	11 15th (11) (200/1 -150%) Share The Treasure	200 200/1(-150%)	(11) Share The Treasure 200/1, Foaled March 9. €15,000 yearling, Raven's Pass filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Galileo Gold. Dam useful Italian 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Raven's Pass filly a 15,000euros yearling; yard hasn't had a juvenile winner in five years.
16th	12 16th (12) (200/1 -150%) Sofia Tesoro	200 200/1(-150%)	(12) Sofia Tesoro 200/1, 22/1, hinted at ability amidst greenness when sixth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) on debut 17 days ago, never nearer. Should have more to offer. Slowly away and ran green at Down Royal; best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

BETULA boasts the most appealing profile on the basis that she finished fourth here on debut behind Ylang Ylang and was then deemed good enough for the Group 2 Debutante Stakes. She couldn't land a telling blow in that race, but she's clearly held in high regard and ought to go very close returning to maiden company for this assignment. Wendla finished an encouraging second on debut at Cork and is entitled to step forward, while Aidan O'Brien launches a three-pronged assault and Everlasting is arguably the pick of them on her debut with Ryan Moore booked.

Plenty in with chances but preference is for BETULA, who found the step up to Group 2 company too much on just her second outing but back in maiden company, Jessica Harrington's filly can make it third time lucky. Wendla produced a promising first effort when finishing runner-up at Cork recently so she could provide the main threat, while Everlasting, Porters Place and Evening Blossom are just a trio of newcomers requiring close attention.

Newcomers Porters Place and Everlasting demand respect but the benefit of a previous run could give WENDLA the edge here

Dam 7f winner out of useful winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Sharleez. Market should be informative as to his chances but owner also has Masoun here.

LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien looks to have a strong hand here, with PSALM slightly preferred ahead of stablemates Meriwether Lewis and Agenda. The 300,000gns purchase will likely have learnt plenty from his debut at Newmarket, where he looked green after dwelling at the start, and this track could be more to his liking. The aforementioned Meriwether Lewis may improve for the addition of blinkers, while Kortez Bay has three runs to draw upon and he looks to be heading the right way.

KORTEZ BAY has gradually improved with each outing and gets the nod in what looks a highly competitive maiden. The Aidan O'Brien pair, Psalm and Meriwether Lewis head the list of dangers.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +11%) Racing Royalty	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Racing Royalty 4/1, Won 11-runner handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft, 11/2) 23 days ago. 4 lb higher mark still leaves him competitive. In good form and got off the mark at Listowel last month; up 4lb but can go well again.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -14%) Nituna	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Nituna 16/1, 25/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) 12 days ago, folding late. Shaped well with a view to this 7f trip. Eight-race maiden who has been running well in defeat on recent starts; dropped 1lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -133%) Whatharm	14 14/1(-133%)	(1) Whatharm 14/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Good third of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 57 days ago. Expected to be bang there eased slightly in grade. Good run when beaten 1l over this trip latest but softer ground unlikely to help.
4	15 4th (15) (11/1 +61%) Tall Story	11 11/1(+61%)	(15) Tall Story 11/1, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Good second of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 25/1) 19 days ago. 0-29; bounced back to form when 2nd here latest but drop to 7f may not help.
5th	14 5th (14) (28/1 +30%) Stop On Red	28 28/1(+30%)	(14) Stop On Red 28/1, First run since leaving J. G. Coogan when won 9-runner minor event at Catterick (7f, good, 9/1) 43 days ago, driven out.

Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.6f, heavy, 10/3) 14 days ago. Won on h'cap debut last term; losing run but running well lately; one could fall her way.
7th	17 7th (17) (9/1 +59%) Singe Anglais	9 9/1(+59%)	(17) Singe Anglais 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago, slowly away. Visor back on. Losing run goes back 2 years; can be slowly away but stayed on well latest; place claims.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/2 +18%) Cnodian	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Cnodian 9/2, 11/1, creditable third of 19 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 5 days ago. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely back up in trip. Not beaten far over 6f on Saturday, doing best of those off the pace; big player up at 7f.
9th	20 9th (20) (25/1 +38%) Adhuil	25 25/1(+38%)	(20) Adhuil 25/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (28/1) at Navan (10f, heavy). Off 6 months. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations. RESERVE. 0-16; badly out of form when last seen; blinkers on returning from 197 days off; reserve.

13th	3 13th (3) (9/1 +82%) Asisaid	9 9/1(+82%)	(3) Asisaid 9/1, Latest win at Naas in July. 7/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals having blown the start. That trait has to be a concern. Back to form when winning 18-runner h'cap in July; disappointing latest; 7f may not help.
14th	13 14th (13) (12/1 -33%) Von Krolock	12 12/1(-33%)	(13) Von Krolock 12/1, Bit below form 5¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Racing Royalty in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft, 9/2) 23 days ago. Stable in good form. 0-15; running well in defeat prior to soft ground run latest; may want it quicker.

17th	19 17th (19) (33/1 +59%) Sagittarius Rising	33 33/1(+59%)	(19) Sagittarius Rising 33/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020.

18th	11 18th (11) (40/1 +0%) Samantha Maguire	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) Samantha Maguire 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.6f, heavy, 33/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for. 0-6; creditable effort at Bellewstown latest but doesn't look too well treated.
19th	21 19th (21) (33/1 -32%) London Palladium	33 33/1(-32%)	(21) London Palladium 33/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/2, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft). Off 162 days. RESERVE. Won twice in 2020 incl' at 7f on soft ground but long losing run; off 162 days; reserve.

LTO Selection:

A deeply competitive contest sees plenty of chances in this field, with the tentative selection being LISIEUX. Adrian McGuinness' filly hasn't won since last October, but she has registered successive placed efforts recently and appears likely to mount a bold bid if she gets more luck in running than when third over an extended 7f at Bellewstown last time. Racing Royalty is feared most after a game win over 7f at Listowel, while Whatharm and Cnodian should also be challenging at the line.

WHATHARM produced his most promising turf effort for a while when third at Gowran in August and down slightly in class, he's just about the most appealing option. Racing Royalty got the job done at Listowel 3 weeks ago so is clearly in good order, with Nituna one to consider at longer odds back in trip.

Ought to be in the shake-up again. Won over extended 7f earlier in season; good run at Down Royal latest; 6lb rise is tough.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 -57%) Breezy Zoff	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(2) Breezy Zoff 11/2, C&D winner. Good second of 18 to Zephron in handicap (9/2) at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago, sticking to task. Not taken lightly. Sole win came over C&D; narrowly denied by Zephron latest and 3lb better off here.

12th	18 12th (18) (80/1 +0%) Lightupthesky	80 80/1(+0%)	(18) Lightupthesky 80/1, Fourteenth of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 80/1) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Unplaced in 10; promise when beaten 2l in July; 2 poor runs have followed; returns to 7f.
13th	19 13th (19) (100/1 -25%) Vivezza	100 100/1(-25%)	(19) Vivezza 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, 18½ lengths seventeenth of 18 to Zephron in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Poor maiden form and only beat one home on handicap debut last time.
14th	17 14th (17) (50/1 +38%) Ceres Ring	50 50/1(+38%)	(17) Ceres Ring 50/1, 80/1, respectable ninth of 20 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Possibilities. 0-6; struggled on both h'cap starts; pedigree suggests 7f may suit but others more likely.
15th	11 15th (11) (22/1 -57%) Broken Silence	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Broken Silence 22/1, Below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 20/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on. 15-race maiden and shown very little in trio of runs this term.
16th	7 16th (7) (33/1 +34%) Kaydees Magic	33 33/1(+34%)	(7) Kaydees Magic 33/1, First run since leaving Sheila Lavery when below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, heavy, 22/1) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time. 0-10; low-key yard debut when beaten 15l latest; return to 7f needs to spark revival.
17th	5 17th (5) (16/1 -100%) Swiss Army Officer	16 16/1(-100%)	(5) Swiss Army Officer 16/1, 12/1, good 1¼ lengths third of 18 to Zephron in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Not far behind Zephron and Breezy Zoff when third at Cork last month; however, 2lb higher.
18th	6 18th (6) (28/1 -56%) Coffeemeanscoffee	28 28/1(-56%)	(6) Coffeemeanscoffee 28/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 25/1, set too much to do when eleventh of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, soft) 19 days ago. Can race off a 4 lb lower mark now so she's interesting. Won twice in 3 days in Britain earlier in season; form dipped but back on a good mark.
19th	16 19th (16) (22/1 +45%) Miss Molly T	22 22/1(+45%)	(16) Miss Molly T 22/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. 18/1, 8¾ lengths thirteenth of 18 to Zephron in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. 7f maiden winner in 2020, her only win in 27 starts; shown little in 3 runs for this yard.

LTO Selection:

The form to concentrate on looks to be the recent clash at Cork between Zephron (first) and BREEZY ZOFF (second), where the former seemed to relish the mile when getting on top late in the day. Preference on this occasion is for Gavin Cromwell's charge, who is 3lb better off, should be suited by conditions and was a winner over C&D last October. The third from that contest Swiss Army Officer is a consistent gelding at this level and joins Merisi Diamond on the shortlist.

Plenty are in with a shout. COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE was set too much to do here last time and has now slipped to a handy-looking mark so is taken to capitalise. Zephron and Breezy Zoff fought out a good finish at Cork last month and both enter calculations along with in-form duo Lasting Peace and Blue Peak.

PALLASMORE LASS has been shaping like her turn may be near and she's only gone up 1lb for finishing runner-up last time

Open to improvement. Beaten 5l in Cork maiden over 1m4f on debut when 80-1; could go well if he handles soft.

In good hands and he's entitled to do better. 7th of 19 in a maiden here last month; not sure to see out this longer trip.
11th	20 11th (20) (16/5 +54%) Teorema	3.2 16/5(+54%)	(20) Teorema 16/5, Gradually progressive filly, making a good fist of things from the front when third of 19 in maiden at this course (10f) 19 days ago, headed entering final 1f and rallying.

12th	2 12th (2) (14/1 +0%) Agathon	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Agathon 14/1, Churchill colt who is bred to be useful and showed ability amidst greenness when 8 lengths fourth of 7 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy) 14 months ago. Absent subsequently but he rates a likely improver. Promising debut when 4th at Galway festival in 2022 but not seen since.
13th	16 13th (16) (7/1 +50%) Aird	7 7/1(+50%)	(16) Aird 7/1, Lightly-raced filly. 6/1, respectable seventh of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good) 44 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Only beaten 2l in C&D maiden; form worked out okay but hasn't built on that twice since.
14th	1 14th (1) (125/1 -213%) Peddler's Lane	125 125/1(-213%)	(1) Peddler's Lane 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. 22/1, stepped up on debut effort when fifth of 7 in maiden at Listowel (12f, soft) 21 days ago. Type his shrewd yard do well with in handicaps. Green when 5th on debut; showed a bit more up at 1m4f latest but has a bit to find.

Pick of his form in this sphere gives him sound claims, with tongue tie added to the blinkers. 0-9 on Flat; went close in Fairyhouse maiden over this trip earlier in season.
17th	19 17th (19) (200/1 -100%) Reel Her In	200 200/1(-100%)	(19) Reel Her In 200/1, Twice-raced filly on Flat. 200/1, sixteenth of 19 in maiden at this course (10f, soft) 19 days ago. Likely longer-term project. Showed little over hurdles and hasn't shown enough in two Flat runs since.

LTO Selection:

Golden Temple boasts plenty of experience and a return to the level is likely to suit following a couple of runs in juvenile hurdles. That said, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival and the vote goes to LION WAIT. He shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth here over 1m 2f last month and the step up in trip appears likely to bring about some improvement. Others to consider include Collaborative, Neptunes Staircase and Teorema.

GOLDEN TEMPLE ran below the form of his hurdles debut effort at Ballinrobe 4 weeks ago but the pick of his exploits in this sphere give him claims in a wide-open maiden and he gets the tentative vote to come out on top. Milwaukee back from a break, Teorema and Lion Wait are others to consider, along with Neptunes Staircase.

2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +14%) Genuine Article	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Genuine Article 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, respectable sixth of 22 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 32 days ago, never nearer. Tongue strap on first time and he has a bigger performance in him. Creditable C&D run on Champions Weekend; tongue tied and could go well if handling ground.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 +67%) Trachonitus	2 2/1(+67%)	(8) Trachonitus 2/1, Course winner. 4/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, heavy) 11 days ago. Can give another good account. Solid form of late but needs to settle better to stay this longer trip.
4	11 4th (11) (20/1 -11%) Blackberry Jack	20 20/1(-11%)	(11) Blackberry Jack 20/1, 28/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously with this step up in trip sure to suit. Okay run at Cork on latest; mark remains on the high side.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +50%) Bright Legend	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(2) Bright Legend 9/2, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at Navan (10f, soft) 89 days ago, not looking straightforward. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Unexposed 3yo gelded since last ran; trip/ground to suit and could have more to offer.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +44%) Any Dream Will Do	14 14/1(+44%)	(1) Any Dream Will Do 14/1, Respectable 5½ lengths fifth of 9 to Maud Gonne Spirit in listed race (66/1) at Listowel (9f, soft) 23 days ago. Stable having good spell. Must improve from revised mark. Chasing black type of late and up 4lb for Listowel fifth; opposable back in handicap.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +72%) Mr Rango	14 14/1(+72%)	(6) Mr Rango 14/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in minor event (15/2) at Listowel (14f, soft) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and must cast that heavy defeat aside. Back to optimum trip here so don't rule out an improved show.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -33%) En Or	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) En Or 12/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in July. Below form ninth of 19 in handicap (5/1) at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 71 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Marked drop in trip here and others preferred.

LTO Selection:

TRACHONITUS posted another solid effort over 1m1f at Tipperary 11 days ago. Jim Bolger's charge ought to appreciate this step up in trip judged on pedigree and ground with cut in it clearly isn't a problem. His sole career win came at this track and he wouldn't be winning out of turn on his return here. The First And Last remains unexposed and is expected to go well in first-time cheekpieces, while fellow three-year-old Genuine Article boasts a similar profile sporting a tongue-tie for the first time. Keep an eye on C&D winner Nostringsattached too.

Competitive fare with SLIEVE BINNIAN awarded the vote given his record over this trip reads very well. This increased emphasis on stamina will suit Blackberry Jack, with 3-y-o Genuine Article another to consider.

Back down in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Too keen at Down Royal but has to be respected off this much reduced mark.
2	12 2nd (12) (11/1 +31%) Albatala	11 11/1(+31%)	(12) Albatala 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 8 days ago. Last week's Navan run not without promise; remains unexposed.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/4 +14%) Pachmena	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(1) Pachmena 6/4, 11/2, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this course (12f, soft) 5 days ago, plenty in hand. Carries 7 lb penalty. Looks competitive on form. Decisive win here on Saturday and big chance of follow up with experienced rider booked.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -29%) Giselles Defence	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Giselles Defence 9/1, 11/2, sixth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Down Royal second off this mark but softer ground an unknown.

Significantly back up in trip. Bold showing is on the cards at these weights. Laytown second was encouraging considering inadequate trip; don't rule out.
6th	9 6th (9) (5/1 +50%) Florida Taiga	5 5/1(+50%)	(9) Florida Taiga 5/1, 9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 35 days ago. Yard in good form. Likely to be on the premises on pick of form. Didn't handle track at Clonmel but previous Navan third over this trip gives her claims.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +30%) Rotolo	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Rotolo 14/1, Below form tenth of 18 in handicap (14/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with more required. Never sighted after long absence at Tipperary last month; tried in a tongue tie.

First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine and needs considering. Wins have been over shorter; can be keen, will need to settle to see out this longer trip.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 +28%) Tasayad	18 18/1(+28%)	(8) Tasayad 18/1, 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Has run respectably in handicaps; others possibly better handicapped though.
11th	5 11th (5) (25/1 +62%) Le Comte De Frou	25 25/1(+62%)	(5) Le Comte De Frou 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Folded tamely on Down Royal return last month; visor now tried but hard to be confident in.
12th	2 12th (2) (50/1 -52%) Hazran	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Hazran 50/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 14 months. Significantly down in trip. Fair on the Flat but others more persuasive on this occasion. Absent 14 months so this looks a tough ask on return to flat.
13th	14 13th (14) (50/1 +38%) Maponus	50 50/1(+38%)	(14) Maponus 50/1, Eleventh of 17 in handicap (100/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Ex French-trained; trip could suit but too many unknowns.
14th	7 14th (7) (66/1 -164%) Crimson	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Crimson 66/1, 12/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (7f). Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Ex French-trained; hasn't run in 11 months and watching brief advised on Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

A competitive contest but it is hard to oppose PACHMENA, who had plenty in hand when winning over 1m 4f here on Saturday. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her this afternoon judging by the way that she won on that occasion. Giselles Defence could prove to be the main danger based on his second-placed finish at Down Royal last month. Others to note are Florida Taiga, Our Dickie and David Garrick.

INDULGING rates the pick of these weights on the back of his recent Laytown second so gets the verdict at the chief expense of course scorer Pachmena. Tasayad and Golden Star also need factoring into this open-looking handicap.

LTO Selection:

MYMOMENTINTIME won this race last year off a 9lb lower perch and looks set for another bold bid today. He has been knocking on the door all year and deserves a change in luck after another near-miss when third over this track and trip on Saturday. The biggest danger could be fellow C&D scorer Art Of Unity, who is now 25lb lower his last winning mark and he dropped a big hint his turn was near again when a one-length third at Navan last week. The booking of Colin Keane catches the eye on Not Too Real Bad, who has also slipped to a fair mark, while Rathbranchurch and Keke add further spice to a tricky contest.

Having been first home in his group at Cork last time, the well treated PRETTY BOY FLOYD is worth chancing with blinkers refitted. The lightly raced Keke looks a big danger and Mymomentintime is worth considering after a creditable third over C&D last week.

With confidence boosted after winning a 20-runner handicap at Navan, RATHBRANCHURCH can turn around Bellewstown form with Keke
