4.5/1 (4) LIVIO MILO and 2.5/1 (2) DUTCH GOLD both have solid form claims and are likely to be in the mix. 3.5/1 (3) FORT VEGA and 10/1 (15) SATURN SEVEN are promising types and could also be contenders. 14/1 (9) RUNNING COOL and 33/1 (6) NO BIG DEAL are both lightly raced and have potential to improve. The other horses are less likely to do well based on their recent form.

DUTCH GOLD showed promise in three outings last year and appears to have progressed over the winter judged by his reappearance at Cork. The Noel Meade-trained colt didn't enjoy a clear run in the final quarter mile but was still only beaten about two lengths and hopefully can build on that effort. Livio Milo has a similar profile to the selection having also shaped well as a juvenile and kept on into fourth when reappearing in a maiden at the Curragh that has been working out well since. Fort Vega finished strongly when a close third at Limerick recently but Navalny hasn't progressed after a couple of decent runs over this trip last year.

Sheila Lavery's FORT VEGA resumed with a promising Limerick third and gets the vote in an open-looking maiden with the prospect of more to come from this Lope de Vega colt. Livio Milo also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list ahead of Cork-fifth Dutch Gold and Limerick-fourth Saturn Seven.

Noel Meade's runner DUTCH GOLD shaped well on his final start at two and did not get the run of the race on his reappearance.

2.25/1 (12) SAVE YOUR LOVE is the one to beat, having confirmed the promise of his only start at two with a third place finish at Navan. He was a promising type and likely has more to come. 2.5/1 (15) WALSINGHAM is also a leading chance, with useful form at 2 and an unlucky fourth place finish in a maiden at Cork 12 days ago. 3.33/1 (11) PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM showed massive improvement on his fourth start and is a recruit to a top stable, making him a contender as well. 4.5/1 (8) HUTTON GLEN, an offspring of a useful hurdler, is a promising type and open to progress, while 40/1 (4) BAILE LOCHA RIACH has potential but needs to improve. The rest of the field are less likely to perform well based on the information provided.

Dermot Weld has made a slow start to the season but WALSINGHAM looks to have bright prospects here. The son of Lope De Vega ran a cracker when beaten less than a length in a Leopardstown maiden last backend and the brother of Duke De Sessa appeared to find ten furlongs too far when reappearing at the same venue. He didn't enjoy much luck in running before finishing strongly last time over a mile at Cork. Play It Again Zaam outran odds of 200/1 when putting in a much improved effort to take fourth behind the Joseph O'Brien-trained Shadowed at the Curragh and has since joined the Carriganog team. Save Your Love stepped forward nicely from his debut last autumn when going close in the Navan maiden won by Drumroll, while Pearl Of Australia and Hutton Glen are others to consider.

SAVE YOUR LOVE left his debut form well behind when third at Navan a month ago and with the promise of more to come, he looks the way to go. Walsingham and Hutton Glen are the obvious alternatives.

The 87-rated WALSINGHAM sets a reasonable standard of form and may be able to make amends after a rather luckless fourth at Cork.

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (5) IRISH LULLABY and 6/1 (8) MOON DAISY seem to be the strongest contenders for the race. 4.5/1 (5) IRISH LULLABY has consistently performed well and stepped up on last year's form in her reappearance at Cork, while 6/1 (8) MOON DAISY has shown promise in stakes races and ran well in a recent Irish St Leger Trial. However, other horses like 4.5/1 (2) FINAL GESTURE and 6.5/1 (3) GRECIAN SLIPPER also have potential to be contenders if they improve.

FINAL GESTURE was purchased by his current owner for E925,000 last December and is out of an Oaks runner-up-and-sister to Japan and Mogul. She won a Longchamp handicap last September, has already been Listed-placed and while she has her first run since November and has yet to race beyond 1m4f, likes soft and might stay this distance. White Caviar, a sister to St Leger winner Galileo Chrome, won a course handicap rated just 81 last November but remains unexposed. She makes her seasonal debut but likes soft ground and is likely to continue improving. Irish Lullaby likes soft and has a race-fitness edge. She holds Star Image (finished fourth, but has Group 3-placed form over two-miles), Blazing Skies (seventh), Joupe (eighth) and Icykel (ninth) on recent Cork form and being proven at this distance, should uphold that form. Moon Daisy hasn't run since August but stays well and would have strong claims if the ground dried out significantly.

This is competitive with black type up for grabs and the suggestion is GRECIAN SLIPPER, who left her 3-y-o form well behinds when third to Mellow Magic and she may well improve again. Irish Lullaby and Star Image are just a couple of potential threats.

At Cork STAR IMAGE was keeping on at the finish over 1m4f. She may turn the tables on runner-up Irish Lullaby over this trip

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (7) REDRESSED seems like a strong contender as they have recently placed second in a Curragh Group 3 race and are open to plenty of improvement. 7/1 (14) MADLY TRULY is also worth considering as they have previously won a Naas maiden race and are significantly up in trip, which could work in their favor. 10/1 (4) INDIAN WISH may also perform well as they have had previous success in France and are now back up in trip.

Race-fit REDRESSED finished second in the Group 3 Park Express Stakes last month. Beaten by Believeinmiracles when green on debut, she has since improved and while she steps back up in distance, is suited by easy ground and can progress further. Battle-hardened Lyrical Poetry is rated just 1lb lower but is ground-versatile and has raced at all stakes levels. Well beaten by a subsequent Grade 1-placed winner in a Meydan Group 2 in February, there mightn't be much between her and the lesser-exposed selection. French Listed winner Indian Wish should benefit from her recent Irish debut and is suited by soft ground. Rolling The Dice, bought for 98,000gns last August, debuts for Paddy Twomey but her best form is on a sound surface and had wind surgery in March 2022. She needs to recapture her juvenile form but could improve for new connections. Beginnings was a wide-margin all-weather winner last November and while well held in a soft-ground Deauville Group 3 on April 6, might do better if today's ground dried significantly. Madly Truly and Dower House are closely matched on Leopardstown form but need to improve.

There is more to come from REDRESSED and she could be the way to go in what looks a good renewal of this listed race. Madly Truly is the pick of the 3-y-os, this longer trip sure to suit her, while Lyrical Poetry can go well after a fine run in Dubai.

Despite her yard having been notably quiet so far, REDRESSED (nap) gets the vote after showing up well on her return at the Curragh

Based on the summary, the most promising horse appears to be 1/1 (11) PERFECT PORTRAIT. She has a strong juvenile form and finished 3 lengths fourth in a Curragh Group 3 race. She is also described as a promising type and sets a solid standard. The other horses have varying degrees of experience and performance, with some being newcomers or having only run once or twice.

PERFECT PORTRAIT was smart in two runs last year, is suited by easy ground and steps up slightly in distance. Classic-entered and out of a Listed winner, the form of both her runs has worked out well and should prove hard to beat on reappearance. Angelic Appeal was an 80,000gns yearling and is out of a winning half-sister to a Group 2 winner and could be capable while E200,000-yearling Empress Of Beauty is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner and could also be smart. Time To Soar narrowly beat Galileo-sired Red Carpet at Cork recently but both need to improve while Gulf Pearl was well held on a recent reappearance. Susiesparkle was well beaten on course-and-distance debut recently but shaped well and should improve.

PERFECT PORTRAIT looked a banker for a win when running a cracker in a listed race when last seen in October and is the obvious selection if overcoming a potentially tricky draw. Empress of Beauty is an interesting newcomer, while Susiesparkle can improve from her first run here.

Some interesting and well-bred newcomers but it will take a good one to get by 97-rated PERFECT PORTRAIT who sets the bar high

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (4) SECRET SAUCE and 8/1 (12) NOT EVEN MAYBE seem to have a better chance of doing well in the race as they have previously performed well in handicaps and have had some gear changes which may improve their performance. 12/1 (5) SNOWDONIA SONG may also be worth keeping an eye on as they are making their handicap debut and have had cheekpieces added for the first time. The other horses do not seem as persuasive based on their recent performances and form.

BANG PO showed improved form on his third start in handicaps when fourth over 7f here a fortnight ago. Outpaced early in the straight, he stuck to his task well and had five of these rivals behind. The Cotai Glory colt looks sure to appreciate this extra furlong. Timeless Piece was slowly away and didn't have the clearest of runs in the straight when unplaced at Tipperary over 1m1f. Quite well fancied on that handicap debut, she made late headway and may be able to turn around form with Not Even Maybe who finished fourth. Secret Sauce also contested that race at Tipperary but was a bit keen in first-time blinkers. He had fared better when runner-up at Bellewstown on his previous outing and the cheekpieces worn on that occasion are refitted.

A tricky low-grade 3-y-o handicap that could go to SNOWDONIA SONG, who looks the type to do better at this level. Happenstance can come on for his recent return here and take a hand. Bang Po is another to note.

Having shaped like he would appreciate this trip when fourth over 7f here, BANG PO is taken to confirm that form with several rivals

3.5/1 (1) ROCK ETOILE is predicted to do well based on the summary. It mentions that the horse has improved on recent efforts and won a handicap race at the same course and distance (C&D) 15 days ago, beating 10/1 (12) LONDON PALLADIUM by half a length and always holding on. 3.5/1 (1) ROCK ETOILE is also given respect and is priced at 11/2. 10/1 (12) LONDON PALLADIUM is also mentioned as a contender, with a good second place finish to 3.5/1 (1) ROCK ETOILE last time out and past wins in Britain. Other potentially competitive horses are also mentioned, such as 5/1 (7) NEVADA BRAVE and 7/1 (2) ROYAL TRIBUTE who have shown good recent form but may face challenges due to heavy racing campaigns.

ROCK ETOILE overcame a wide draw when getting home by half a length from the re-opposing London Palladium over C&D last month and may have another in him off a 5lb higher mark. That was a first win on turf for Andy Slattery's charge and he clearly likes this track as he was twice runner-up here previously, including when chasing home recent Curragh Group 2 winner Visualisation. London Palladium was having his first outing for seven months, whereas the selection was race-fit, so it could be close between the pair again. Nevada Brave, an all-weather winner over 1m2f in January, was placed on heavy ground at Leopardstown and could go well although 1m might be a bit sharp for him. Pallasmore Lass, runner-up twice at Cork this time last year, disappointed on stable debut at that track but is capable of better and Colin Keane takes the mount again.

LONDON PALLADIUM was a good second to the reopposing Rock Etoile on his recent C&D reappearance and is taken to build on that and turn the tables on Andrew Slattery's charge. Royal Tribute and Leviosa are others who enter calculations.

Tim Doyle's SIMPLY SIDEWAYS is 7lb lower than when fifth here a year ago and is put forward as an each-way option in an open race

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as there are several horses with solid claims and past achievements. However, 4.5/1 (13) LISAMARIA, Neverfindanother, and 8/1 (4) SUPER CUB all have recent good performances and are expected to give another good account in this race. 9/1 (5) THE BOG BANK and 10/1 (11) SHONA MEA are also worth considering, as they both have recent good finishes and experience at the course.

Paul Flynn continues to send out plenty of winners under both codes and LISAMARIA looks like a filly who should be capable of success in this grade. Fifth on her reappearance over 7f at Leopardstown, she bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up over 1m1f at Tipperary and can go one place better from a good draw. You Owe Me Money, a maiden after 18 starts, has been a luckless type in her career to date and would have gone close on seasonal debut at Cork but for being hampered at a crucial stage. She ran well a couple of times at this venue last year. Bringsty, hampered in the straight when behind the selection at Tipperary, had previously beaten Neverfindanother U over 1m1f at Leopardstown and is now 7lb worse off with that rival who won on the all-weather over 1m2f in March.

YOU OWE ME MONEY made a positive start for his new stable whrn third in a big field at Cork recently and he's worth a chance to land this similarly competitive event. Finke River and Neverfindanother U could provide the main dangers.

Paul Flynn has done really well with his team of Flat handicappers in recent months and LISAMARIA might be another winner for him

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.

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.
