Buddy Batt

Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying.

Buddy Batt

Three wins from four winter starts at Dundalk; soft going might not be ideal for his return to turf on a mark 16lb higher than when fifth of 16 in a C&D apprentice handicap last October.

J: Adam Caffrey

5f maiden winner at two and confined to only two runs last season; however, plenty to like about his close second behind Buddy Batt here in March and he's better drawn this time should they again wish to front run.

Clonmacash

J: Gabriella Hill

Behind Buddy Batt and Lethimfly here in March but later posted a career-best RPR when winning over 6f back here in April and can be forgiven his subsequent defeat at Chester; hard to leave out of calculations.

J: Adam Caffrey

T: Adrian McGuinness

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Useful sprinter won twice last year over 5f at Cork but has been absent since that last success in July; previously won a C&D maiden and is off a 6lb lower AW mark so has to be considered even though he lacks a recent run.

T: Patrick J McKenna

Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark.

Won this race last year after a Bellewstown second and now bids to follow the same pattern after a good run eight days ago; fair chance that he can reverse Dundalk form with Buddy Batt.

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider.

Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider.
