20:19 Fairyhouse — Racing Again Next Friday Handicap (Div II) model predictions

Green Icon (FR)

0%

Yet to hit form since joining this yard; heavy defeat over 6f here on latest; steps up in trip but failed to fire when tried at this distance before.

In The Minus (IRE)

0%

7f win at Limerick (good) last June off 5lb lower; decent fifth on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld); place chance on that run off 2lb lower, but poor over hurdles since.

Cleopatra's Needle (IRE)

0%

Dual-purpose mare; shaped very nicely on last start in this sphere at Leopardstown in April (1m, gd-yld) when a 0.75l second of 20; sole win on level came at this trip and has won at this venue over hurdles; chance.

Copper Craft (IRE)

0%

Very modest form on turf but has been knocking on the door at Dundalk; close third on return from break there in April (10.5f); beaten a neck there over 1m4f latest; just 1lb higher here, but has to prove effectiveness on turf.

La Campanella (IRE)

0%

Has shown glimmers of ability at Dundalk; beaten 3l when seventh over 1m there when last seen in January off 3lb higher; might need this but worth a market check for local yard.

Milverton (GB)

0%

Placed in a Perth bumper in 2024 but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps on the Flat; 33-1 and beaten 19l when last seen at Dundalk in November; eased 5lb and yard flying, but hard to fancy on form.

Captain Con (IRE)

0%

Poor form in maidens at 7f-1m2f on varying ground; beaten 14l on handicap debut at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding); drops in trip and this is easier, but more needed off just 1lb lower.

Albatala (IRE)

0%

Dual-purpose maiden; 0-7 on the Flat; off since heavy defeat over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April 2025; not seen on the Flat since July 2024; best watched.

Alto Sax (IRE)

0%

Won a C&D claimer in May 2024; sole win since on AW on return from a break in April (1m); creditable efforts returned to turf over 1m at Leopardstown and Gowran the last twice, staying on well; return to 1m2f a big plus; player.

Rushford (GB)

0%

No win since 2022; showed little on last two starts at Dundalk after return from massive layoff; thrown in on old form, but would prefer further than this and hard to fancy.

Maker's Mark (IRE)

0%

0-5 on turf and yet to show winning potential; beaten cumulative distance of 33l in first two handicaps at Bellewstown (1m, soft) and Dundalk (1m); new trip tried now.

No Bother Aoife (IRE)

0%

Not disgraced in maidens over 7f-1m at Dundalk last winter; kept on well enough over 1m at Gowran (gd-yld) on handicap debut after a break in first-time tongue tie (retained), beaten 6.75l into eighth; this trip should suit; could go well.

Miss Americana (GB)

0%

Narrowly denied on seasonal return at Gowran (1m, soft) off this mark; below best the last twice at Leopardstown (1m, gd-yld) and Gowran (7f, soft); step up in trip a plus (second over 9.5f at Clonmel last season); rain would boost chance.

My Kurkum (GB)

0%

On long losing run; best efforts for this yard have come over shorter than this; poor form so far in 2026; others hold more pressing claims.

Yquem (IRE)

0%

Promise in a couple of AW runs for John O'Donoghue but poor form in four runs on turf; off since 28l defeat at Newcastle in February; best watched on first run for new yard.

Swift Charm (IRE)

0%

Left previous form behind when a 2.75l third of 14 at Ballinrobe on latest (9.5f, gd-yld) at odds of 50-1 four weeks ago; the fourth and sixth from that race have won since; same mark here and shortlisted.
