Lady Plimsoll

Jockey: R M Mulligan Trainer: John S O'Donoghue Age/Wt: 3/10-0 F: 6-2064 OR: 67

Comment: No improvement since second over 1m at Dundalk in January on the second of three AW starts; however, has a claim as form horse here on her fourth of 13 over an extended 1m2f at Down Royal last time on her second turf outing.

Jockey: J Kearney Trainer: Ian Patrick Donoghue Age/Wt: 3/9-7 F: 080-70 OR: 51

Comment: Ordinary form at two for Gavin Cromwell; not a bad run in mid-field in a 7f claimer at Gowran on stable debut; slowly away and always at the back in a 1m2f Fairyhouse handicap last time; cheekpieces tried now.

Sugar Club

Jockey: J J G Ryan Trainer: Noel Meade Age/Wt: 3/9-7 F: 8-00400 OR: 66

Comment: Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help.

Jockey: S T McCullagh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 6-540 OR: 75

Comment: Started the season with two satisfactory displays, fifth of 11 over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and a close fourth of 16 over 7f at Gowran (soft); questions to answer after a poor 1m run at Leopardstown (good); longer trip should be fine if restored to form; would get 5lb from stablemate Nobler in a handicap.

Comment: In the frame all six starts; showed a decent level of form at two and improved on seasonal debut when a 2l third at Navan (1m2f, good); slightly disappointing on soft at the same venue on next start; beaten by a useful sort in a four-runner conditions event at Listowel last time; has been gelded, blinkered first time.

Comment: Six-time winner over trips ranging from 7f-1m4f; best effort this term over 1m when touched off from high draw at Limerick; left with fair bit to do at Fairyhouse; has missed four engagements in the last four weeks, for a variety of reasons.

Ina Mina

Jockey: W Joyce Trainer: Michael Mulvany Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 6-4505 OR: 65

Comment: Maiden who has run over a range of trips; decent effort when keeping on from off the pace (reported to have stumbled early) over 7f at Leopardstown last Thursday; that was reassuring after a poor run in a claimer; longer trip should help.

Allo Al Khawaneej

Jockey: S P Davis Trainer: C Byrnes Age/Wt: 5/9-6 F: 6545/0 OR: 62

Comment: Ordinary form at around 1m4f for Owen Burrows; won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan for this yard in April; returned to the Flat with a poor run at Listowel 22 days ago (2m, good); unlikely to be involved.

Spanish John

Jockey: K G Kennedy Trainer: P A Fahy Age/Wt: 7/9-5 F: 5605-1 OR: 61

Comment: Received a hefty 10lb hike for winning at Tipperary most recently (1m4f, good); he was unplaced on the Flat prior to that win and his hurdling starts were tame so he comes with caution advised.

Comment: First reserve; some middling runs in Dundalk maidens last winter; has been running well in maiden hurdles recently and won at Clonmel on last start; returns to the Flat now but unappealing

Jockey: Reserve 3 Trainer: Eoin Doyle Age/Wt: 5/9-3 F: 9/0- OR: 59

Comment: Third reserve; Completed hurdling four-timer last summer on decent ground, below best when ground eased afterwards; 0-10 on the Flat, running only once last year; probably best watched on return from winter break.

Lot Of Joy

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 7/9-12 F: 3930- OR: 84

Comment: Her last run on the Flat came at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division of a big-field from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); she won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown over the winter before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts since then; has a chance.

Comment: Dual-purpose mare with three wins on the Flat; last win in this sphere came two years ago at the Curragh off a 5lb higher mark (1m6f, good); her two runs over hurdles for her new trainer this term have been okay; needs to come on again.

Comment: Eight-time winner who is 1lb higher since her last win at Sligo in August (1m2f, good); finished second to Royal Eagle in this race last year but has been out of sorts since her win; perhaps a return to this track can spark a revival.

Comment: Has won 2-3 this year; both wins coming over 1m4f at Dundalk and Gowran; bounced back from a poor Sligo run when winning at Gowran; she pulled clear that day so the extra furlong doesn't look like it will pose problems; up 7lb but she can go well again.

Comment: A second over 1m2f from 2lb higher on good ground at Sligo is sandwiched between two seconds over hurdles, most recently at this track last month; she is a five time winner on the Flat and is 1lb lower than her last winning mark; not discounted

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 4/9-7 F: 3140- OR: 79

Comment: Galway maiden winner over 1m4f last July (yielding); good fourth on handicap debut at the Curragh subsequently from mark of 82 in August (1m4f, good); her first run over hurdles was okay when finishing third of 16 but she didn't appear to appreciate the heavy ground at Naas last time; lightly raced and could go well

Gangster Granny

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 49-020 OR: 74

Comment: Winner of a Limerick maiden last summer over similar trip/ground as today; finished 2.25l second behind rival at Gowran on penultimate start (1m6f, soft) but finished 15.5l behind that rival subsequently over this C&D last time despite being 6lb better off; the better ground on that occasion is a possible excuse so may want it softer.

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 1-78 OR: 71

Comment: Three handicap wins last season, including over 2m at Thurles in October (good); two runs this season have not been too bad and kept on to finish 4.5l behind the winner at Gowran over 1m6f on penultimate start; up 4lb since last win and not without a chance.

Heather

Jockey: Nicola Burns Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-12 OR: 83

Comment: Dundalk maiden winner over 1m2f in February; second that day was What's Your Game, now rated 93; he was a subsequent winner and was just 3l behind the recent Queen's Vase winner, Carmers, in a Listed race; Heather looked as though she would appreciate this step up in trip after staying on but unable to catch the winner the last day over 1m2f at Naas.
