2:40 Curragh Going Soft / Distance - 0m 6f

Pool Value: £594.45

This looks very open. MERISI DIAMOND returned from a similar break to win on this card 12 months ago and, although in deeper waters here, he's shown he can cope with this mark. Apache Outlaw is weighted to reverse recent AW placings with the admirable Big Gossey, though whether he wants ground this soft is highly questionable. Betsen appeals as a horse with more to offer.[Alistair Jones]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (5)	Big Gossey R Whearty / C O'Brien	8yrs / 10st 5lb 31-322 Spotlight	106	7/1	4.20	1.90
Big Gossey Grand servant who loves it here and returns on the back of competitive shows on the AW (5f-1m); it's never going to be easy off this mark back in a handicap but can never discount.
2 (10)	Go Athletico C T Keane / A McGuinness	7yrs / 9st 12lb 70958- Spotlight	105	10/1	13.10	10.30
Go Athletico Eight-time winner but drew a blank last year; has returned to his former trainer and has possibilities off this mark should the new headgear work after a break.
3 (1)	I Am Superman J A Powell / M O'Callaghan	9yrs / 9st 10lb 027-65 Spotlight	106	22/1	42.40
I Am Superman Not impossibly treated and hasn't run at all badly the last twice on the AW, but he's essentially a 7f/1m horse.
4 (6)	Betsen J J G Ryan / J Davison	4yrs / 9st 7lb 34104- Spotlight	109	11/1	33.90	9.30
Betsen Second in a Listed race last spring and later won a 5f maiden (good) on seventh career start; beaten under 4l in a Group 3 next time (6f) and then ran in a useful conditions race; could have a future off this sort of mark in handicaps.
5 (3)	Stag Night W J Lee / W McCreery	7yrs / 9st 7lb 12766- Spotlight	107	13/2	15.50	13.80
Stag Night Strike-rate of 4-15; has worked his way up the ratings but only 2lb higher than for his last win at Cork 12 months ago and he can go well fresh.
6 (7)	Apache Outlaw Adam Caffrey / A McGuinness	5yrs / 9st 3lb 3711-3 Spotlight	105	9/1	5.20	17.50
Apache Outlaw 6f/7f wins on the AW before finishing third of four upped to 1m at Dundalk where he was close up behind Big Gossey off level weights; should be well handicapped off this lower turf mark but soft ground could be troublesome.
7 (9)	Merisi Diamond R P Whelan / Ms J Morgan	6yrs / 9st 0lb 14124- Spotlight	103	13/2	7.20	1.02
Merisi Diamond Back from a similar break to win a C&D heavy-ground handicap on this card 12 months ago and later in the year won twice at Roscommon (7.5f, soft); has shown that he can live with this mark and go well fresh, so on the shortlist.
8 (11)	Love Billy Boy S Foley / Gerard O'Leary	4yrs / 8st 12lb 93236- Spotlight	107	6/1	8.10	7.50
Love Billy Boy Only 2-16 for Richard Hannon but ran a number of good races last year, though was kept mostly to 7f; may need that longer trip now.
9 (8)	Staysound Susie A J Slattery / A Slattery	4yrs / 8st 11lb 12018- Spotlight	106	14/1	74.90	58.20
Staysound Susie Bolted up in a Cork handicap (6f, good to yielding) last October but was then seemingly anchored by an 8lb rise at Naas 11 days later; might be on a tough mark.
10 (2)	Laugh A Minute C D Hayes / Stephen Thorne	10yrs / 8st 10lb 0033-4 Spotlight	103	7/1	3.20	1.20
Laugh A Minute Eight-time winner on turf and, given that he's never won on the AW, it was an encouraging run at Dundalk 23 days ago (not far behind Big Gossey on similar terms); trip/ground fine.
11 (12)	Rappell Nicola Burns / P W Flynn	4yrs / 8st 7lb 71317- Spotlight	104	11/2	33.40	11.70
Rappell Improved last year to win three 6f handicaps and he didn't really get the breaks back over 5f the last time; does have a bit to prove off his current mark, even with a 7lb claimer up top ( different 7lb claimer rode last time).
12 (4)	Emerald Harmony R M Mulligan / J P Murtagh	4yrs / 8st 7lb 12469- Spotlight	108	14/1	45.10	27.40
Emerald Harmony Only 1-11 but mostly consisent; has done a lot of her racing over 5f on good or faster ground but was second in a 6f maiden in the mud at Limerick; 2lb out of the weights but they claim 7lb; certainly not ruled out.
