11/4

Comment: Dual Flat winner in Denmark in 2023, stayed 1m4f; creditable efforts in maiden hurdles before finishing third in a novice event at Downpatrick; holds a leading chance in this grade if forgiven a moderate display at Tipperary on handicap debut; has to concede a minimum of 8lb.

Comment: Fair form last season for her previous trainer; pulled well clear with the winner when second in a handicap at Sligo last month on stable/seasonal debut; second to a much younger rival in a mares' handicap at the same venue nine days ago; now a six-time runner-up; should be in the mix in a race of this standard.

Verdict: This is a big drop in class for KAPTAIN BAY following his run at Bellewstown. Race fitness may give him an edge over Realism

Kaptain Bay

Jockey: D Meyler Trainer: Noel Meade Age/Wt: 4/11-12 F: 1-26 OR: 111

3/1

Comment: Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April; runner-up over in a 2m handicap at Kilbeggan in May; takes a drop in class after contesting a much stronger handicap at Bellewstown; that was a tough task for a horse of his age; could make his presence felt in this company.

13/2

Comment: Soldier Of Fortune gelding; dam 1m7f-3m hurdle winner, sister to 3m hurdle/chase winner The Horsechesnut, family of Stayers' Hurdle winner Shuil Ar Aghaidh; respected source so check market; tongue tied for debut.

Crossroads

Jockey: Mr D Doyle Trainer: Edward F Power Age/Wt: 6/12-0

8/1

Comment: Beaten 45l in sole start between the flags; sports a hood for Rules' debut; dam is a half-sister to a bumper winner but he's likely best watched.

11/1

Comment: 0-7 in bumpers; has run well in defeat on a couple of occasions and may have needed her latest run when beaten 15l at Sligo; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Mr Brentin

Jockey: Mr F Maguire Trainer: Sean Byrne Age/Wt: 5/12-0

60/1

Comment: Hillstar gelding; dam bumper, 1m5f Flat and 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to 8.6f-1m5f winner So Elegant, out of unraced half-sister to Italian Group 1 winners Stone (1m4f) and Stouci (1m); positive jockey booking and appeals on paper; worth a market check.

Doctor Galzer

Jockey: Mr P J O'Neill Trainer: Philip M Byrne Age/Wt: 5/12-0

70/1
