Not gonna lie, this price 20/1 astounds me. This 147-rated and €500k purchase by Gigginstown is what a lot of these are not. He’s a mud lover ??" all four of his wins on soft and heavy. Cal Miller said after his win in December, “There had been a morning inspection, but I was almost hoping the rain kept coming.” So with more rain forecast, the deeper it is the more it appears he’ll appreciate it. It’s a wide-open contest. He’ll get the trip, is a winner at 3 miles, and was 2nd in a Grade 2 LTO in Gowran. If this hasn’t come too soon, I think he’s as good a chance as any and a solid each-way poke with six places on offer.

Platino Bianco would arguably have finished a lot closer to Winemaker LTO but for meeting trouble at the furlong pole and staying on close home thereafter. So at 3x his price I think she’s worth a small each-way poke. Conor Maxwell recently acquired this 5 y/o mare off Chris Timmons and has gotten a bit of a tune out of her. He brought her to Newcastle for her first run and sailed in over 6f in 20s??"12s. The step up to 7f should pose no issue and hopefully bring about further improvement. Her polytrack form has left her turf form for miles behind, so it’s possible there’s more to come..

Off 62. If there was ever a day to back Inishmot Price, this is surely it. Down a whopping 20 lbs from his last win here (mark of 82). He’s a 9-time winner here on the polytrack, 3 times over this trip. (The 5 is probably too sharp as he gets older.) Back to 6 today. Perfect draw in barrier 5. Sadbh Tormey gets pushed to the bench in favour of regular jockey James Ryan. There’s a lot to like about this charge, and I’m struggling to see past him in a bang-average 0-70.

I’m going to take a wild swing on Ray Hackett’s ‘Donnrua Dream’ here today at a price. I think this 8 y/o might leave some of her old form behind now that they’ve added first-time cheekpieces and a first-time tongue strap to this 85-rated mare, who is a winner off 89 and 101. She won here and at Wexford a few years back on heavy going both times. She has been out of form for quite a bit, so it’s definitely risky. The application of the headgear might eke out the improvement required on a course she’s acted on and ground she’ll relish.

I backed 'Kingdom Calling' here LTO and I'm going to stick with him. He finished 7th of 20 but wasn't beaten that far (8 lengths). He met a bit of interference in running (checked twice) and probably would have finished a lot closer. What's more important is he ran well and left some of that old form behind. Eoin McCathy is a streaky trainer and had a winner LTO, so I'll take it that the stable, as well as this lad, are back in form. The booking of Simon Torres adds another layer of confidence... 5 places on offer ,you won't talk me out of it.!!

Ian Donoghue’s stable is firing, and it might pay to stay onside with 'Iaconnect'. Caragh Monaghan has built up a great relationship with this 11 y/o, who has found a new lease of life since joining the Co. Meath handler. He exploited his lenient chase mark LTO in Down Royal, comfortably, landing by a bit of a touch in the process. Back over hurdles today, his recent two 3rds in 0-130 company would hint he’s not completely out of his depth here in this 0-140. Trip, ground, and track will suit. He’s in good heart, the stable is flying, and off bottom weight I’d think he’s a squeak.

I’ve a sneaky suspicion John Feane’s ‘OHAILBHIC’ wasn’t off a yard LTO. He got a hands-and-heels ride all the way round and was never asked a serious question. He got a smack at the furlong pole and passed a few rivals. Maybe from a high draw they decided to hide him, but he’ll surely improve for that run and his first duck egg on the polytrack. He’s a winner here; he won his maiden here over 6f last February on his third run. Disappointing on the turf this summer, so this is more his bag. The draw again hasn’t been kind, but I do think there’s more to come ??" it’s only a case of when. A few bob for him would add confidence.

If the favourite has a winning record of 1-25 and that win came in Sligo, surely it’s worth exploring a rag to find a bit of value. 14/1 shot of Daniel Murphy 'Go Out' is worth a look. This 4 y/o is thoroughly unexposed , has had three very satisfactory runs in UK all-weather maidens before being sold to here. This is his first run in a handicap and it’s impossible to know if it’s a going day, but this is a very winnable contest. This stable likes it up here and gets its fair share of winners. The low draw is a plus, as is good apprentice Paddy McGettigan claiming a healthy 7 lbs. A risky proposition, I know, but I like the price.

I’m drawn to one here, not because of the form on show but more because of the mark that this 4 y/o of Robson Aguiar (new landlord at Adrian Murray's stable) has been given by the handicapper. She’s down a whopping 9 lbs from her last polytrack visit and 10 lbs below her turf mark. She’s had a break and Drawn low in barrier 2 is a positive. She has run well in defeat here in the past, which suggests a possible liking for the surface. I’d bet my last penny these guys will know how to get one ready after a break. At 16s, I don’t mind having a poke.

A lot of these are stepping up in trip and it’s a case of who improves more. I’m siding with Philip Rothwell’s ‘Sock It To Me’ who ran well LTO (1st handicap), finishing 5th of 20 at Fairyhouse, catching the eye late over 2m 4f. Another couple of furlongs look sure to suit. These 0??"100s are Rothwell’s bread and butter. 89 is a good mark for an unexposed type. With the ever-reliable Tiernan Power Roche in the saddle, I’ll chuck a dart.

A stable I just cannot pin down. But there’s a few things here that suggest Paul Collins 'might' outrun his odds for Brian McMahon. He’s back down in class, back down in trip, and only 3 lb above his winning mark. He has the ground. The first-time cheekpieces might bring out a bit of improvement. He did chuck in a stinker LTO, so forgiveness is required (inadequate trip probably). I’ll have a tentative each-way poke at 20s with 5 places up for grabs in a race where Sean Mc will be all the rage.

In a competitive event Liz Doyle's GREAT BIRD is a player I’d think, stepping up in trip markedly, The switch to a more galloping track could bring out more for this very lightly raced 6-y-o mare. She fell when in a shout at Thurles recently, and a good 2nd at Clonmel suggests she’s in good heart. I’d see the switch to good apprentice Calum Hogan claiming a valuable 7 lbs as a positive. I think she has as good a chance as any in this, and at double digits I’ll throw a dart.

ROCCABAKER has looked a winner in waiting for a few runs now. She’s a very lightly raced 7 y/o with low mileage on the clock. She was beaten 5 lengths into 6th LTO behind Great Island after missing the last. The extra 2 furlongs looks sure to suit based on her 2nd in Wexford three runs back over today’s trip. The going poses no issue. David Kelly’s stable saddled a winner yesterday, and I think Tramore will definitely suit this mare after two positive runs in Wexford and Clonmel (both undulating). Big shout, I’d argue, as she’s knocking on the door...

A winnable enough contest here. I think Martin Brasill’s CLASSY CC is open to a bit of improvement. She’s lightly raced; this is her third handicap run. There isn’t a lot to go on bar her much-improved third in Limerick LTO over 2 miles. She steps up half a mile today, and hopefully that’s where the further improvement comes from. Not a whole pile more to add. With 25 runners, it’s a case of who improves the most really, and Martin Brasill's stable is genius at that.

Louis Archdeacon’s ANOTHER OCANA looks a tad overpriced here in the finale today. This 8 y/o clearly reserves his best form for the Shannon-side track. He won this race two years ago on heavy. He won again here last year (April) on soft/heavy and has been placed here three times. He’s on a career-low mark, 5 lb below his last winning mark. They’ve added first-time cheekpieces; he might eke out a bit of improvement. He’ll be suited by the track, trip and going. It’s hard to tell whether he’ll be in the mood, but at 40/1 there’s lots of reward.

There are very few unexposed types in this, and a few carrying penalties. It is heavy going with five places on offer. I’m leaning towards one that, while exposed, is relatively lightly raced for his age. Kilcolgan handler John Neilan saddles 10-y-o Winter Carnival here, and with the very heavy going forecast I’ll play this lad tentatively. Quite a bit of patchy form on show with him, but there are a few snippets that suggest there’s one in him. None more so than his third here at Limerick in January this year ??" he was half a length back in third (from 1 lb out of the handicap) on very heavy going over this trip in this grade. There are also bits of form further back: beat 6 lengths on heavy, beat 10 lengths on heavy (LTO), etc. All in all, a lot has to go right, but we know the trip poses no concern and the ground will suit. Small chance, I’d argue.
