Sky Bet Extra Places Handicap
Prediction Leader
Dubai Opulence (IRE)
0%
Modest form in three maiden runs on soft or heavy ground; hard to make a case for him.
Rest of field
Aurora Mist (IRE)
0%
Obtained plenty of experience at two; won over 1m at Gowran on second start this season; stable may have a stronger candidate in another last-time-out winner Cisterna
Gonna Be Golden (IRE)
0%
One of two for yard; Dundalk maiden winner last December (7f); heavy ground probably against him when tailed off on seasonal/handicap debut over 1m at this venue; saddle slipped early in 6f Fairyhouse contest last week; the run can be ignored
Caitouna (IRE)
0%
Two respectable Dundalk runs; fair effort at Leopardstown on turf debut; useful 7lb claimed; not without a chance.
Wild Berries (IRE)
0%
Best of her three efforts in maidens was over 7f at Naas; well beaten over 1m in a nursery at the same venue; no recent outing; others preferred.
Coincidental Glory (IRE)
0%
Has shown his best form at Dundalk and needs to improve on this season's turf form; best placing on turf was in a 1m claimer at Gowran; big price when in rear over 7f here 11 days ago.
Whistling Jamesie (GB)
0%
Won at 20-1 on handicap debut over 6f at Dundalk last October; in rear over 7f at the same course in April; last of 12 at Naas; blinkers tried now; seems risky.
Dawn Flame (GB)
0%
Dundalk win in January (1m) seems to have been a flash in the pan; started his career with two poor runs on turf.
Meriden (GB)
0%
Never threatened in three maidens at 6f-1m on soft/AW; got going late when sixth of 13 on handicap debut over an extended 1m1f; a great deal better when winning over 7f at Down Royal last Friday; an improving filly but may find a few too good over this trip under a 7lb penalty
Amerilis (GB)
0%
Ran twice for Paddy Twomey at two; made a good start for Gillian Scott when fourth of 12 in a 6f maiden here in March, running on well in the closing stages; not beaten far in mid-field here on handicap debut; could go well at a decent price.
Cisterna (IRE)
0%
Uneven form last season; has improved gradually this season; stayed well over an extended 7f to open his account at Roscommon; possibly vulnerable over this trip off 5lb higher mark.
Apothic Red (IRE)
0%
Ignored in the betting on handicap debut in a 6f event here in April; kept on to finish sixth of 21, showing enough to suggest an each-way chance now.
Kilmac Air (IRE)
0%
Has made the frame twice at Cork; opening mark seems fair and she may improve on better ground with cheekpieces fitted; 5lb claim will help too.
Polanco (IRE)
0%
No sign of winning potential in maidens last year; 50-1, in rear at Naas on handicap debut.
Boston Max (IRE)
0%
Three undistinguished runs on turf last season; different proposition this term since being gelded; won over 5f at Dundalk on AW/ handicap/seasonal debut in first-time tongue-tie; got up late to share the honours over the same trip at Chepstow 13 days ago; may find further improvement at this distance.
Enthusiastically (IRE)
0%
Won a 7f Dundalk nursery win on AW debut last November; confirmed a fair standard of form with two fourth placings later that month; formerly trained by Donnacha O'Brien; did not quite see out the 1m trip when making a satisfactory debut for Sean Hayes at Dundalk in March; one for the shortlist.
Gosford Queen (GB)
0%
Not a bad effort when fifth of nine over 5f at Dundalk on the second of three starts as a juvenile; open to improvement, but others have stronger credentials.
Pocket Jacks (IRE)
0%
Midfield in a pair of Dundalk maidens (6f/7f) at two; hinted at possible improvement over 5f on reappearance at Navan; may slot into handicaps effectively.
Whats It All About (IRE)
0%
Weak juvenile maiden form; failed to feature over 5f at Dundalk in her first handicap; needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition.
Schoolyard Days (IRE)
0%
Weak maiden form at sprint trips; failed to improve when raised on distance and equipped with cheekpieces in a claimer at Roscommon.
Windsor Lily (IRE)
0%
Not beaten fair in fifth in a 6f Dundalk maiden in February; no impact over 7f on soft at Gowran in her first handicap, her chance is not obvious.
