Twotolose

Jockey: A Browne-Souza Trainer: Daniel McLoughlin Age/Wt: 4/10-1 F: 734- OR: 71

Comment: Still a bit green and unlucky in running when coming home well to be a close third in a C&D maiden last October; relatively unexposed, now hooded; could go well with 7lb claimed.

Comment: Nine-time winner; well below best on last two Dundalk outings before returning to form with a long-priced fourth at the Curragh; no match for an easy winner at Naas, but had a few of these rivals behind, including subsequent winner Step Back In Time.

Comment: Needed the run after a break when last of 11 at Dundalk in February; much more like it when running well for a different 7lb claimer at the Curragh two weeks ago; this easier ground may not be ideal

Jockey: Sorcha Woods Trainer: Edward Lynam Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 85-642 OR: 53

Verdict: A 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win in the Prix Morny should be no obstacle to WHISTLEJACKET, who prospered during a busy juvenile season

Comment: Three wins from eight starts at two; out of the first three only twice, in top company both times, fourth of 13 in the Norfolk Stakes, and fifth of 12 behind Magnum Force in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint; has a Group 1 penalty for his Prix Morny win, status as a top juvenile underlined by Phoenix Stakes/Middle Park seconds; handles an ease, should be hard to beat.

Ides Of March

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 3117- OR: 108

Comment: Won a 6f maiden at the Curragh on third start; backed that up with a front-running success in a weak 6f Group 3 at the same venue; missed the Middle Park on account of soft ground; ran on late when seventh in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint; stablemate Whistlejacket is preferred on this ground and can uphold the form.

Comment: Lightly raced 4yo won Down Royal maiden on seasonal return last May but not seen after being placed in Roscommon handicap until returning much improved last month when making all in 1m4f Curragh handicap on soft; quite likely more to come as he steps up further in trip but this looks a tough ask.

Comment: Lightly raced 4yo won last two starts last year over 1m4f in Roscommon maiden and Bellewstown handicap, reappearing with better effort again over C&D early this month, finding plenty for pressure from some way out when beaten a neck; upped in grade but looks the type to keep improving and could run well.

Reyenzi

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 2-

Comment: Saxon Warrior colt; dam modest maiden half-sister to winners Raydara (7f 2yo Group 2), Rondonia (1m/1m2f) and Rayna (1m3f/1m4f); eyecatching 2yo debut in 7f Naas maiden in September, blowing the start and then making up considerable late ground to finish second; should stay 1m2f, major contender on return.

Vorfreude

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: Joseph G Murphy Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 53-2 OR: 84

Comment: Couple of promising 2yo runs and took a step forward on seasonal return over C&D last month, rallying to deny Nobler of second after racing prominently; shouldn't be much between the pair again here.

Winston Junior

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 5-5

Comment: Creditable form in Galway 2yo maiden and on last month's Curragh return when staying on over 1m; longer trip should suit and appears the pick of the Harrington runners.

Bella Sheila

Jockey: R P Whelan Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 3/9-3

Comment: Australia filly is first foal of a 1m winner (RPR 77), herself a half-sister to US winners Breadman (1m/1m1f) and Princess Akris (1m/8.5f); likely the Harrington second-choice on debut.

Bellacanta

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: W McCreery Age/Wt: 3/9-3

Comment: Gregorian filly is sister to 2m/2m2f Flat (RPR 84) and 2m-3m1f hurdle winner Bellatrixsa, closely related to 7f 2yo winner Giovanni Batista (7f 2yo; 87), half-sister to six winners inc Aristia (1m2f inc Group 1; 115); dam placed 7f-1m4f; newcomer likely all the better for the experience.

I Do Believe

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: W McCreery Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 4

Comment: Make Believe kept on to finish a remote fourth on Curragh debut last month over this trip; entitled to improve but still best watched.

Sound Of Lightning

Jockey: G M Ryan Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 3

Comment: Fastnet Rock filly whose unraced dam is sister to winners Yucatan (Australian 1m4f Group 2), Faufiler (US 9.5f Grade 3) and Mount Everest (1m2f Listed), and half-sister to 5f Group 2 winner Planet Five, family of Breeders' Cup Mile winner Six Perfections; caught the eye on last month's Curragh debut over this trip, staying on strongly to finish third after racing green; quite likely she could improve enough to play a leading role.

Jockey: Nicola Burns Trainer: Gerard O'Leary Age/Wt: 4/10-4 F: 24-05 OR: 74

Comment: Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap on good for the Crisfords last May; scored again at Southwell in August; poor effort on debut for Ger O'Leary at Dundalk but was slowly away and may have needed the run; again started slowly at Leopardstown, did well in the circumstances; live chance now with Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb.

Matt Connor

Jockey: J Kearney Trainer: Martin Brassil Age/Wt: 5/10-2 F: 9/068- OR: 72

Comment: Won a pair of 1m2f handicaps in the summer of 2023 for Henry de Bromhead; returned from long absence last October and three below-par runs for current yard; handicapper relenting and drops in grade but stamina remains an issue.

Miss Gitana

Comment: Dual 1m6f winner for Sir Mark Prescott on a sound surface; hurdles form ordinary, placed in Down Royal handicap when last seen in January; ideally wants better ground and doesn't appear especially well handicapped.

Comment: Was ending a three-year hiatus on the flat when scoring over 1m6f here earlier in the month, hanging left but keeping on well; not guaranteed to back that up off 4lb higher but respected.

Plains Indian

Jockey: Orla Tynan Trainer: Andrew Slattery Age/Wt: 9/9-9 F: 5300- OR: 65

Comment: Decent hurdler was gaining fourth success in that discipline when scoring at Clonmel in November, faded badly in conditions hurdle at same venue following month though; 0-9 on the flat but ran well off 3lb higher at Listowel last year so on a competitive mark; rider's first mount.

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Anthony Murray Age/Wt: 10/9-7 F: 640- OR: 63

Comment: Better hurdler although hasn't won in well over four years; last Flat win came here over 1m6f in 2020 (soft); absent since October and may just need this although on a nice enough mark for yard debut.

Out For A Stroll

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 4/9-9 F: 00/4-1 OR: 58

Comment: Better since going hurdling over the winter, winning at Limerick and good second in Punchestown handicap; let down by jumping when very disappointing favourite in Downpatrick handicap latest but remains a potential improver now reverting to flat (due to run at Limerick yesterday, 5.40).

Elle Dorado Rock

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 7/9-1 F: 0/25/12 OR: 57

Comment: Sole win in either code came on the AW over 2m in January but career-best when strong-finishing close second in Gowran handicap over this trip on Wednesday, having allowed winner first run; Keane now takes over and obvious claims off same mark.
