Two wins have come at Leopardstown, latest eight days ago in first-time visor when defeating Jazzit by 0.5l; 4lb rise fair and is a winner over this trip so stepping back up in distance may bring about further improvement; leading player. |

Made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap in April (good); ran to a similar level at Cork later in the month when beaten 3l into fourth; followed that with a disappointing effort at this venue, with soft ground a possible excuse; solid third behind Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse on latest; 7f might be too sharp. |

Second reserve; some promise in maidens last year, but unplaced in seven turf runs; not enough in two handicap starts this year to suggest she's ready to win. |

Had enjoyed a consistent spell at Dundalk before a poor run in March; turf form is weak, and the lack of a recent run may count against him. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |

Is 15lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer and took a step in the right direction when beaten 3.5l over C&D on latest; eased 3lb for that run and well-drawn here; could go well at a price. |

Hasn't won since 2023 and was struggling for form but took a step in the right direction when not far behind a couple of these at Navan last time; best form on easy ground, however, so could do with some rain. |

2-34 on turf, last turf win in May 2022; been running fine this year without really threatening to win; placed at Gowran Park (1m, good) two starts ago; well held ten days ago; no obvious reason why he'd warrant support off same mark. |

Five-time winner; 2-33 on turf but hasn't won a race of any description since September 2023; decent third over C&D latest, however, and place claims if he can back that up. |

Veteran winner of 14 races (11 on AW); respectable form in recent months, highlighted by a Roscommon second; another solid display when fifth of 17 here a fortnight ago, on the heels of runner-up Jazzit (second reserve) with Gordon Bennett among those behind. |

Betting Forcast
100/30 Launch Time, 8/1 Suerte, 8/1 Wegotogether, 25/1 Wellwhatshappenin, 16/1 Distillate, 33/1 Heart Of Eternity, 33/1 Pettus Bridge, 8/1 Lohengrin, 7/2 Draiocht, 8/1 La Campanella, 12/1 Rampage, 50/1 Tullyesker, 25/1 Bang Po, 10/1 Hale Bopp, 20/1 Jazz Dreamers, Brains
Verdict
Possibly the stronger of the two divisions. Launch Time sets a reasonable standard here with his two Leopardstown wins this year and with Colin Keane booked. Preference is for DRAIOCHT, less than a length behind Launch Time at Leopardstown and weighted to turn the tables with this slightly longer trip in his favour. Suerte looks capable of getting involved too. [Justin O’Hanlon]
