Pepper Noir (M)
Three-time course winner who has shown signs of returning to form. Finished sixth of 11 in flat handicap at Dundalk (40/1) 35 days ago, took keen hold but lost place approaching final furlong. Now racing below last winning mark and should …

Sinbad My Dad (G)
Has shown fair form at Dundalk with placed efforts in November/December before finishing ninth of 12 at same C&D (14/1) 14 days ago when hampered in final furlong. Worth another chance on previous AW form.

Sectarius (G)
Struggled in recent races, finishing ninth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (40/1) last September, never involved and beaten 21 lengths. First run for new trainer. Needs a drop in weights to become competitive.

Palmezzano (G)
[P]
Has shown form at Dundalk with consecutive 4th place finishes in maidens. Fourth of 12 in maiden (10.7f) at odds of 7/2 14 days ago, keeping on after being driven 3f out. Cheekpieces back on and could be more competitive returning to handi…

Satono Chevalier (G)
Has 3 course and distance wins but gone 6 runs without success, finishing third of 14 in a 10.7f claimer at Dundalk (8/1) last October without headgear. First run for new trainer. Could be more competitive back at this C&D where previously…

Preparations (M)
Showed fair form in turf handicaps last summer before finishing seventh of 14 over course and distance (11/1) 42 days ago, led early but effort flattened out. Now below last winning mark.

Edge Of Darkness (G)
[B1]
Unsuccessful in 13 runs since 2023 win, finished last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 14 days ago. Handicap drop and first-time blinkers unlikely to spark improvement.

Church Mountain (G)
[PT]
Has 3 course wins at Dundalk but ran below-par when 8th of 14 in handicap (9/2) 10 days ago, merely plugging on after racing off the pace. Can perform better at this course on a going day.

Baila Conmigo (G)
FAV
Not long with current yard, showing mixed form but better in recent AW run. Fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 7 days ago, ran well despite facing trouble twice in the straight. Looks capable of better for current connections.

Cala Gracioneta (F)
Lightly-raced filly finished 11th of 14 in handicap at this course and distance (80/1) 42 days ago, never involved. Down 5lbs but needs to show significant improvement to figure.

My Vonnie (M)
[B1]
Maiden who ran respectably at this C&D including when 2nd of 14 (66/1) in November and was sixth of 14 in handicap (7/2 favourite) 14 days ago, failing to justify support. First-time blinkers replace hood.

Man Is King (G)

Inconsistent performer who has never won in 40 career starts. Ran better when 3rd of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (12/1) 44 days ago before finishing 10th of 14 in handicap (7/1) 14 days ago, making no impression. Trying a significant step up…

Lady Luck (F)

Has shown little in seven starts, finishing ninth of 14 in handicap (22/1) 14 days ago showing little again. Tongue strap back on for significant step up in trip.
