Island Mccoo (Ire)

Age: 9
Weight: 10st 12lbs
Or: 84

Ran better than for a while after 12 weeks off when fourth of 16 in hurdle at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) 16 days ago. Step back up in trip looks a good move and not without each-way claims.

The Striker Dylan (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 5lbs
Or: 91

Opened account in 12-runner handicap chase at Sligo (21.1f, good to soft) in October. Not in the same form at Thurles later that month and not seen since. Returns from his much lower hurdles mark and should be bang there if ready to roll.

Mickey Hulie (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 5lbs
Or: 91

At least respectable efforts when second at Naas and third at Limerick in March. Never landed a blow in first-time cheekpieces last time but claims if able to repeat his earlier efforts.

Anysignofhim (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 10st 13lbs

Modest hurdler who fared no better than when last seen 7 months earlier when tailed off on return at Clonmel recently. Looks an easy swerve returned to a handicap.

Head For Home (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 10st 7lbs
Or: 79

Maiden who stepped up on recent run despite looking awkward when initially asked for his effort when fourth of 21 at Cork (3m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not out of things if able to build on that from 1 lb higher here.

Love Like This (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 10st 12lbs
Or: 84

Made more impact than for a while when ½-length second of 16 to The Eggler at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) earlier in the month. However, she ran poorly back over fences at this track since so no surprise to see her back over timber.

Je Suis (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Or: 96

Continues to fall in the weights without showing much sign of taking advantage, first-time cheekpieces having no effect when last seen at Killarney in October. Returns over hurdles but requires a leap of faith with equipment discarded.

Doing It In Style (Ire)

Very little to shout about since her fourth in a course maiden over Christmas. Cheekpieces applied but likely to need further respite from the handicapper before becoming of interest.

Timeform Verdict

Several in with a squeak but THE STRIKER DYLAN returns from his lower hurdles mark so he could be worth chancing to open his account in this sphere. This step back up in trip looks a good move for Island McCoo so he can give the selection most to think about, with Head For Home and Love Like This taken to fight out minor honours.
