Irish Lincoln winner ORANDI has every chance of landing another big prize for trainer Tony Martin. Narrowly denied when bidding to follow up in the English equivalent at Doncaster, the seven-year-old was subsequently raised 4lb. With Jack Kearney taking 3lb off his back, the gelding looks favourably treated and given his liking for these big-field cavalry charges, he has to be the first port of call. A real eyecatcher on his recent stable debut at Limerick, Lord Church has to be of interest on his second start for Emmet Mullins. Stablemate Derry Lad is another who should appreciate a strongly-run mile. |
Many to consider in (as might be expected for the money on offer) an open race. STATE ACTOR is still on a very feasible mark off only 2lb higher than when a career-best second over C&D when second in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August and, if resuming in that type of form, may well be able to win this valuable prize for the second year running. This lightly-raced 5yo is also a possible improver again this year. Lord Church has plenty going for him and may be next best ahead of Orandi. Others to consider closely include Serialise, Enchanted Garden and the 9yo Coeur d'Or. |

Ran pretty well back on grass last time at Cork (1m2f, soft; hampered) but would appeal more at longer trip; better on AW but does have commensurately lower turf mark. |

Irish Lincoln winner ORANDI has every chance of landing another big prize for trainer Tony Martin. Narrowly denied when bidding to follow up in the English equivalent at Doncaster, the seven-year-old was subsequently raised 4lb. With Jack Kearney taking 3lb off his back, the gelding looks favourably treated and given his liking for these big-field cavalry charges, he has to be the first port of call. A real eyecatcher on his recent stable debut at Limerick, Lord Church has to be of interest on his second start for Emmet Mullins. Stablemate Derry Lad is another who should appreciate a strongly-run mile. |
Many to consider in (as might be expected for the money on offer) an open race. STATE ACTOR is still on a very feasible mark off only 2lb higher than when a career-best second over C&D when second in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August and, if resuming in that type of form, may well be able to win this valuable prize for the second year running. This lightly-raced 5yo is also a possible improver again this year. Lord Church has plenty going for him and may be next best ahead of Orandi. Others to consider closely include Serialise, Enchanted Garden and the 9yo Coeur d'Or. |

Latest two Flat runs, both over C&D, been below-par; another out-of-sorts run over hurdles last time; may be happier back on the Flat but plenty to prove; no hood today. |

Fair effort on stable/seasonal debut at Leopardstown (1m) last time; tongue-tie first time; worth keeping an eye on but possibly with other races at further than this 1m more in mind. |

Interesting on such as last June's C&D (good) second but needs to step up on this March's two down-the-field runs over C&D (acts on soft, so that isn't a convincing excuse). |

Unraced beyond 7f; made it three from seven with reappearance win at Leopardstown (7f) in April and, lightly raced and progressive, is worth close consideration. |

Ran to form when back on turf over 10f at Ballinrobe last time; used to be effective at 1m but stays 1m4f and may well now need further; others preferred. |
