Rum Raisin has run well in similar contests but is looking exposed now, a remark that doesn't apply to An Saighdiur, who has been placed in three of his five starts. His best form, however, has come on the all-weather at Dundalk and it might pay to side with MAJESTIC PEARL, who has also done well at Dundalk but whose best turf form could be good enough to land this.
An Saighduir is yet to prove he's fully effective on turf, but his form at Dundalk sets the standard in a poor maiden is taken to get the better of Majestic Pearl.
A winner at 5f on firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 11 behind Sixteen Forty Two beaten 4l at 7-1 on his latest outing at Listowel over 1m (good to firm) earlier this month.

SEAN OG COULSTON showed very little last season but has looked a much better horse following a winter break. He's won his last two starts, at Down Royal and Fairyhouse, with something in hand and another 5lb tonight might not be enough to stop him completing the hat-trick. Cinnin Oir scored over C&D this month but looked all out and may struggle with another 6lb while He's Got Rhythm is in good form but needs to raise his game to get his head in front.
This looks a straghtforward opportunity for Sean Og Coulston to complete the hat-trick provided he's come out of Fairyhouse ok, his mandatory 5 lb penalty partly negated by the booking of a top claiming jockey. Bold Thady Quill is another coming here with a recent win under his belt and can fare best of the rest, whilst Queen Commander can reward place bettors.

Although only sixth on her debut over C&D, ZVONAREAVE wasn't too far away despite meeting trouble in running. She should be capable of gaining recompense tonight. Gemstone did nothing wrong when fourth over this trip at Leopardstown on her debut but looks to have something to find with the selection. The beautifully-bred Kissable hails from a yard in top form at present and it would be no surprise to see her run a big race on her racecourse debut.
Kevin Prendergast 2-y-o's take some opposing at present and, given Kissable's pedigree, she looks likely to make a winning debut. Zvonareave and Gemstone are clear of the others in terms of place appeal.

Precious Gem scored nicely over 1m 4f at Leopardstown last month but has been found wanting in two previous runs in this grade while Leopardstown winner Hazarafa was well held in this grade at Navan but should be open to further improvement after just four starts. Preference is for CHOOSE ME, who landed a 7f Listed race at Tipperary last September. She's shown up well stepped up in trip this season and should prove too good for these rivals.
A trappy listed contest in which nothing can be ruled out with absolute certainty. Hazarafa and Leo Gali are open to improvement at this trip but it may be best left to Precious Gem who looked better than ever when winning a handicap at Leopardstown in May. Choose Me is well capable of getting placed if her stamina holds out.
Winner of five races from 1m 4f to 1m 6f on ground varying from firm to good, but last win was over two years ago. A winner at 7-1 at Gowran Park over 1m 4f (good to firm) on his latest outing in May '08, beating Chevalier Country by 1l.

The penny seems to have dropped at last for LOMBRICI. After a string of modest efforts, she got her act together last time, going down a short head over 1m 2f at Clonmel. She can benefit from this longer trip and is taken to break her duck at the eighth time of asking. Gowran winner Connyella and the consistent Playdate can be given a chances but might have too much weight and the progressive Memories Of You might be the one for the forecast.
Connyella and Lombrici are the 2 with solid recent Flat form to their credit and they should go well. However, they may well have plenty on their plates to compete with Annees D'Or, who looks potentially chucked in on her hurdles form.

This looks an ideal opportunity for O'BELLA BALLERINA to lose her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. She's improved with every run and showed when second over 1m 2f at Roscommon last time that she would be suited by a longer trip. Harranda looks to be going the right way but has plenty to find with the selection, while the twice-raced Make Me A Star was second over 1m 4f at Tramore this month but was beaten a long way and needs to improve.
O'Bella Ballerina is clearly no world beater but looks well worth a try at this sort of trip and is marginally preferred to the once-raced Askew. Catchafallingstar may improve enough to get placed.

It may pay side with CLOONE ROCKET, who can make his race fitness tell. Three times a winner over hurdles and once on the Flat, he's finished third recently at Tipperary and Listowel and, with a top amateur pilot on board tonight, can take this. Directa King has won three of his seven Flat starts but showed nothing last year and needs to be back to his best. Holly Tree, lightly raced on the Flat but highly tried over fences, might be a safer bet for the forecast.
Directa King isn't the easiest horse to weigh up but if he is anywhere near his best he will be very hard to beat here. Cloone Rocket looks his only serious danger and Ophelia, who is open to improvement, may be able to get placed.
