Lose
-50
Letsbefrank has been disappointing in this prep, and if he doesn't go close here after an improved fourth last time out, it might be time to pull the plug and give him a rest to strengthen further. The son of Frankel should appreciate this trip on a course he's placed on previously. He has won all three career victories on firmer surfaces.

Yoshimi

-50
Yoshimi is the type to bring about an upset here. The Dream Ahead gelding comes into this astutely placed by his in-form trainer, and rider Tudhope is having a purple patch of winning form recently too. The horse has won three times in this grade and gets in here with 9.8 in a class 6 field. Two years ago at this meeting, he won a class 5 race with 10.0 as his impost, so he looks nicely placed given those factors.

Last run by Insanity was something of a mystery parcel in terms of not being a reflection of the horse's true ability. But I suspect it was a combination of being in a bit of a mood and not liking Newmarket, for reasons best known to the horse. They're funny creatures. Previous form was good and as a CD winner on the course and back to familiar ground, looks on for a form turn-around. If not, it might be time for another freshen-up or the addition of some more gear to keep the mind on the job.

Joanna Mason takes the reins of Roach Power, and he's been the improver through C6 and C5 recently. He finds his way back to Class 4 again, a division he won in last year with more weight than he carries today. That would suggest he demands respect.

Akeela
Daily Racing
25 EW
@7.00
Lose
-50
Akeela found some tight room at a vital point at Limerick when fourth at Limerick. Seven furlongs should suit better now. Has always looked a type who takes a bit of time to warm to racing each season, and that improver's effort last time out was perhaps the hint of a peak effort being quite near. No world-beater for sure, but has enough ability to make presence felt at the business end of proceedings.

Study of Man filly who has shown promise in four career runs. Goodwood run was game enough to suggest a realistic each-way chance in a field such as this. Distance suits and so will Rossa Ryan, you'd think.

Wild Sapphire

@4.33

-50
Wild Sapphire is a No Nay Never colt from the Weld yard. Second at Gowran Park over a mile was good enough to suggest that with 127 days to strengthen up a little more, he could well go on with it here. The bookies are showing plenty of respect, which suggests they consider the horse has a good chance of getting the extra furlong on offer here, even with the break and coming in fresh.

Montezuma has Amie Waugh in the saddle, and she is riding with a good deal of confidence recently. In-form yard firing at 22% in the last fortnight. Yes, still a novice, but gets down to a luxury weight of 8.4 here - a full stone less than last time out. So that might make up for the obvious rise in class, but was an improver's third at Hamilton, and with that under the belt, the son of Blue Point could be the upsetter here.

Big weight advantage here in an average-looking class five affair. Has placed second-up in two of the last four preparations. With the in-form Hollie Doyle in the saddle, and the Yarmouth third was useful enough to suggest he could make his presence felt.

Has won at the trip. Rise in distance may have been a bit early, and the six furlongs look likely to suit better at this stage of prep. Cieren Fallon will be a big assist as he is in very good form, and trainer Charlie Clover can do no wrong recently either.

Lord Protector's trainer has a 20.59% strike rate in the last 14 days. Stable form is good form, and with experienced rider J P Sullivan in the saddle and with a handy draw, should be right in the frame for a good way in this.

Aeolian is a big chance here for the Haggas and Fallon combo and has strong claims here. King and Queen own this one and looked good on debut. Should be at peak for this after a good debut.

Protest Rally's last two runs were at York, and I don't think that track suited at all. So it might be best to disregard that form. Absolute course specialist and seems to prefer the tighter tracks. Four of five wins have been on turf.

Ledecky

-50
Ledecky could be right in the 'swim' of things on debut here with the talented Nicola Burns claiming seven pounds and being prepared by a top trainer who knows how to get them ready to fire first-up. Bred to handle softer ground.

Saytarr is a son of Mehmas who has been the subject of good support in his races, suggesting he's shown ability at home. Stronger now, and tote and bookies should be the best guide to chances after 11 months off as to how well forward he is.

Push The Limit is a consistent type, and trainer Ralph Beckett has given him a two-month freshen-up coming into this. Hector Crouch takes the reins, and the horse is trying to make amends for letting punters down badly last time out when beaten by a good type.

Cancan In The Rain is third-up here and improved a lot off the resuming run when last produced. George Wood is riding very well. More experienced rider this time and should have benefited considerably from the first two outings.

Heather Main has her team firing, and she's legging up the very much in-form apprentice Alec Voikhasnsky here. Alec is riding superbly with a 31.25% strike rate in the last 14 days. The penny may finally be starting to drop for Time After Time too, as his last two runs have seen him much closer than in his first four runs. That 120-day spell and some racing under his belt seem to be working the oracle. One for odds.

Both trainer and jockey are going through a good patch of wins at present. The good-to-soft predicted conditions should suit this horse. Placed here on the poly track with the same rider in January and has had two runs back off a 139-day let-up, so you'd expect some benefit to now be coming through with those runs under the belt. Improved effort at Brighton and that could be the indicator to a big odds upset (he said hopefully).

Yes, the form is not inspiring with three 8th placings since resuming from a long spell but has needed them and hasn't done himself any favours by racing keenly in front in two of them and missing the jump in the other one. Why they continue to lead on him is beyond me, but I'm hoping they revert to racing him in behind as he placed third on debut when those tactics were adopted.

Jonny Concrete is an honest and consistent son of Oasis Dream who takes on much tougher company than he's used to here. He has a decent pull in the weights as a result and could make his presence felt as he looks even stronger this time in. I consider him a dangerous lightweight for the in-form Iain Jardine, who has his team going nicely, while jockey Andrew Slattery is well overdue some better form.

Invincible Will

@29.00
Lose
-50
Invincible Will is an upset chance here as he wasn't suited last time by the tight track at Bellewstown. But before that, he was a useful sixth on debut at Navan. With the benefit of those two runs under the belt, he looks the improver in this field at odds. I like that the in-form trainer ran him over a mile last time out and that he was too keen on debut for his own good over six furlongs. This indicates that seven furlongs might be his trip, and with that extra stamina from the mile outing to benefit, he might stick on better this time of asking.
Monocle Rocket

Henry De Bromhead is better known as a trainer of jumpers, of course, but his record of 40% with flat runners in the last fortnight has to be greatly respected here. Some each-way value is possible here with Monocle Rocket, who, while still learning his craft, could bob up at big odds for the astute veteran trainer. Jockey Slattery is also in good touch in the last fortnight, and this combination could surprise.

Daughter of little-known sire Sergei Prokofiev, this filly. Trainer Meehan is firing, and so too is jockey Charles Bishop, an experienced horseman who should suit this horse. Has drawn out, so deserves to be at longer odds on that score over this trip. But with a bit of luck and held up for a last run at them, could be in the frame.

In-form jockey and good yard of Joe O'Brien, and they generally make a good combination. This horse ran a solid second last time out, indicating he is close to winning form. Galen (the rugby league player turned boxer) beat Sonny Bill Williams on a split points decision last night in Australia - so why not his namesake at Leopardstown!

Hills Of Glory is just the type to upset at big odds here after a penultimate start win at Downpatrick and then a useful sixth at his last appearance. Gavin Cromwell has him racing well and the horse would not need to improve much in an open field to take the thick end of the purse.
