Majestic King (G)
FAV
Had any amount in hand when bolting up in 15-runner handicap at Gowran (1m, good to soft, 4/6) on Tuesday. Promises to follow up under a penalty.

Jawhary (G)
[V]
Held his form well at Dundalk over the winter and picked up a third win in 12-runner handicap just over a fortnight ago, leading entering straight and just kept up to work. Seems better on the all-weather these days so others more appealin…

In The Minus (G)
Faced a stiff task at the weights and probably needed the run after 4 months off when tailed-off last of 5 in juvenile hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (17f, heavy) 8 weeks ago. Hard to see him featuring back on the level.

Sayidah New Bay (F)
Stepped up on reappearance run when fifth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (1m, good to soft) just under 2 weeks ago. Each-way claims with this step back up in trip promising to suit.

Miss Australie (M)
Modest maiden who is yet to really fire for current connections, possibly needing the run on return at Gowran recently. Drops back in trip.

She's Ideal (F)
[P1]
Progressed again upped further in trip when second of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.7f, good to soft) 5 days ago, looking to have the winner covered in the straight but ultimately outbattled. Nudged up 3 lb for that near miss and first-time …

Thru The Gap (F)
[B1]
Has one standout effort to her name and there have been no positives to glean from her 2 handicap starts this season. Blinkers on.

Deuteronomy (G)

Landed a hat-trick last summer but has been more miss-than-hit since. Handicapper eases his grip further.

Starting Monday (G)
[P]
Showed the benefit of a recent run and that he retains plenty of ability in ending a losing run that stretched back more than 5 years in 14-runner handicap at Gowran (9.6f, soft) last month. 4 lb higher here and follow up seems unlikely gi…

Tero D'rosa (G)
Confirmed return to form when second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) when last seen in November. Not out of things if able to pick up from where he left off.

Calamint (M)
Turned in best effort for some time when second of 13 at Navan on return last month but a bit too keen for her own good back up in trip at Limerick since. Drop back in trip looks a good move.

Ethelwulf (G)
[P]
Best effort since joining this yard when sixth of 14 in handicap Gowran (9.6f) last month but was tailed off back there over a markedly longer trip less than a fortnight later.

Kartayaz (G)
Scored at Dundalk in December but it has been all downhill since. Back on turf after a 3-month break and needs to get back on track.
