|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 4 |
Counting Coup (G)
Makes a first start on the Flat having shaped better than the beaten distance when sixth in a Sligo bumper on debut (did too much too soon), however, he's very much bred to be a jumper.

Daddy Long Legs (G)
Smart hurdler at his best, he put an underwhelming all-weather run behind him when winning a minor event over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces (runner-up won next time) at Ballinrobe last month, and has good claims in a winnable Flat maid…

Double Indian (C)
Indian Haven colt. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including 7.4f-1¼m winner Jawaayiz, but he could hardly have shown less when well beaten in a Kilbeggan bumper in late-April.

Joe Cool (G)
Posted fairly useful efforts in defeat when runner-up in maidens at the Curragh/Bellewstown over the spring, the form of the latter now reading particularly well, and having won a maiden on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe last month, he's fan…

Medadthebookie (G)
Cheap purchase who makes Flat debut having shown little in 4 starts over hurdles.

Murat (G)
Free-going sort, successful both starts in bumpers/won maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last December, he typically looked a tricky ride when well-held third in a Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse in early-April but still rates an interesting cont…

Sea Celia's Star (C)
Raa Atoll gelding. Dam unraced. Finished well beaten in a German Group 2 (2m) on debut (for Luke Comer) and it's hard to be confident on first run for Luke W. Comer, for all he has his sights lowered.

Steel Cut (G)
[P1]
Left his debut form behind when runner-up in a Dundalk maiden (10.7f) on reappearance. Worth a go over the longer trip (in first-time cheekpieces) given that he's seemingly already outstaying his pedigree, and he deserves to be on the shor…

Annacroft (M)
Berkshire mare. Dam, runner-up at 6f, half-sister to smart 6f winner Primo Valentino and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Dora Carrington. Makes some appeal on pedigree, but she's probably one for the longer term.

Duvessa (F)
FAV
Ridden with an eye on the future on debut/sole start for Mrs J. Harrington and having showed improved form over a longer trip when a well-backed second at Roscommon (1½m) on her return, she's the type to keep progressing for excellent yard.
