Off the mark at 11th attempt in 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May and much the best handicap effort since on latest (reduced mark) when staying on late to finish third (second has won since) of 17 over C&D 16 days ago; contender again off same mark.

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Off the mark at 11th attempt in 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May but hasn't made much of an impact in handicaps; decent effort when fourth at Bellewstown over this trip but weakened into ninth in claimer at Killarney 30 days ago; could bounce back now given more of a chance by the handicapper.

AW winner over this trip in January and consistent turf form of late, most recently good fourth of 17 over C&D; 0.5l to find with Glamazon on that run so definite contender.

AW winner over this trip in January; bounced back to form of late with three solid efforts, doing best work late on each time; step up in trip could be key and he should be winning off this mark soon.

AW winner over 1m in January; that had seemed like a flash in the pan until a revival in form when overcoming a troubled passage to take third behind the well-fancied Glen Breeze and today's rival Princess Chloe at Limerick; again squeezed for room before keeping on for fifth at Leopardstown last week; fair chance with a little more luck.

Form & Verdict
Maiden has posted better efforts since being gelded, beaten under 3l at the Curragh and (after 3 months break) well-backed favourite at Gowran early this month, staying on when bit short of room in finishing fourth over 7f; step up to 1m could suit and may have more to offer.

Lightly raced and first start after a gelding operation when running on well to be seventh of 20 over 6f at the Curragh in early May (good); of strong interest raised in distance despite the three-month absence.

Form & Verdict
Made all over 7f at Gowran (Oppenheimer fourth) early this month (good) in a first-time visor and solid AW run 8 days later when fourth to a progressive type, not quite getting home over 1m; barely gets a mile so possibly vulnerable here, especially if ground softens.

Won twice on the AW during the winter; her near 4l third at Killarney (1m, good) last month was her best effort on turf but then fared less well tried in cheekpieces over C&D; bit risky in a new visor.

Her first run in cheekpieces when beaten 3l over Limerick's extended 6f was a step in the right direction but never counted (keen) behind Beau Army at Gowran (7f); returns to 1m with fair bit to prove.

Betting Forcast

10/1 Aiteall, 15/2 Glamazon, 8/1 Dawn Flame, 13/2 Oppenheimer, 16/1 Sunrise Angel, 16/1 Tenacious, 11/2 Beau Army, 16/1 Ochtar Againn, 20/1 Sceitimini, 25/1 Miss Ivor, 13/2 Sayonara, 14/1 Arizona Star, 10/1 Cause I Like You, 16/1 Thumama Sands, 14/1 Due In June, 8/1 Garryowen Green

Verdict

Plenty of collateral form here, notably the Gowran handicap won by Beau Army, where Sayonara, Garryowen Green and Oppenheimer filled the placings. Legitimate claims can be made by all those, but slight preference is for GLAMAZON, a good third over C&D last time, with Dawn Flame close behind in fourth, form franked since by the runner-up.
