Mary Shoelaces (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: 72

Ended last season with a career-best win in 16-runner handicap at the Curragh under this rider and having typically needed her comeback run at Navan last time, she could take some pegging back from plum draw with blinkers back on.

Sarahmae (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 0lbs
Or: 84

Having fallen below her latest winning mark, she landed a gamble a shade cosily when dropped in grade at Cork 5 days ago, and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up success.

Daneh Of Dandy (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 83

A winner of novices at Ripon/Thirsk last summer, she was well below form on final start for James Tate in mid-April (subsequently sold for 23,000 gns) but still looks a very interesting contender for yard that does really well with new recruits.

Shadow Of The Moon (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 74

Confirmed previous promise when opening her account in a C&D maiden last autumn and having been flying too high in Curragh handicaps both starts this year, she should be more competitive back at a more realistic level.

Treasured Royal (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 12lbs
Or: 74

Navan maiden winner who again couldn't replicate her earlier season form when 5¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Sarahmae in a handicap at Cork (5f). Weighted to be much more competitive this time, however, 6f may prove her optimum.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type

Two And Two (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 9lbs
Or: 71

Backed up her Dundalk success when fifth on handicap debut at the Curragh (both 6f) but following 8 weeks off, she ran too badly to be true over a significantly longer trip at Leopardstown (1m) last time.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
04/06/26	Leopardstown	1m	Soft	13/13	Flat
15/03/26	Curragh	6f	Heavy	5/12	Flat
13/01/26	Dundalk	6f	Slow	1/10	Flat
12/12/25	Dundalk	7f	Slow	8/12	Flat

Timeform Verdict

SARAHMAE is taken to defy a 10 lb rise for last week's cosy Cork success, though she'll likely face stiff competition from Mary Shoelaces and interesting stable debutant Daneh of Dandy.

Betting Forecast

4/1 Mary Shoelaces (Ire), 11/4 Sarahmae (Ire), 9/2 Daneh Of Dandy (Ire), 8/1 Shadow Of The Moon (Ire), 5/1 Treasured Royal (Ire), 10/1 Two And Two (Ire)
