Venetian Star (G)
FAV
Has made a fine start for this yard, third of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (1m, heavy) 25 days ago. Good apprentice up and should find an opening before long.

Thirsty Owl (G)
Looked to be brought along with handicaps in mind judged on his 3 Dundalk efforts for Gavin Cromwell and might have needed his Roscommon run for new yard (fitted with cheekpieces) 17 days ago. Could do better here.

Kc Bear (G)
Won at Dundalk (6f) in December and, sent off at evens, ran at least as well in defeat over 1m there in March, just a bit too free for his own good on first try at the trip. Better expected back on turf after another break.

Chapel Island (C)
FAV
Modest maiden with just one standout effort (over 1m at Galway) for Michael Mulvany. Returns for in-form yard with tongue tie left off and could do better.

Fortuity (F)
[P]
Improved under a positive ride when second of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago, left behind by impressive winner. Can go well again off same mark.

Merry Blacksmith (F)
[T]
Looked to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Roscommon (7.5f, good) 17 days ago, short of room at a vital stage. Bred to do better (half-sister to a Fred Darling winner).

One Cool Bear (G)
[V]
Has had plenty of racing (runner-up twice at Dundalk) and found run of good form coming to a halt back up in trip when seventh of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, good) 17 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Alandownunder (F)
Bits of promise in maidens at 2 yrs and proved too free making handicap debut after 7 months off at Roscommon (7.5f, good) 17 days ago, held behind a few of today's rivals.

Elly Bay (F)
Fair juvenile maiden for Johnny Murtagh. Mid-field in a couple of handicaps for new yard this year (behind Fortuity at Roscommon 17 days ago). Looks vulnerable.

949-652 | James Ryan | J Davison | 3 | 59 kg |

Royal County Glory (G)
Holding form well at Dundalk under this rider and opened account in 12-runner handicap (7f, 10/3) 48 days ago, well on top finish. Up 5 lb and another big run likely if keeping up the good work back on turf.

Lady Kelly (F)
[B1]
Well held in turf maidens on soft/heavy at up to 10.5f. Could do better now handicapping in first-time blinkers and an Irish Oaks entry certainly catches the eye.

Caoilte (G)
Raced solely at Dundalk, faring better when fifth on handicap debut over this trip last month, but then last of 10 (1m, 9/2) 35 days ago. Bit to prove now switched to turf.
