Verdict

WEAPONIZED is out of a bumper winner and showed plenty when runner-up on her debut at Down Royal earlier in the month, so she's an appealing candidate, especially in receipt of plenty of weight from chief form rival Kisuton Enki. Siege of Carthage and Square Jasmin can battle it out for minor honours.

14	Walk In The Park filly who produced a promising first effort fitted with a hood when second in 12-runner bumper at Down Royal (17f, good) at the beginning of the month, finishing clear of the remainder. Big chance if building on that initial promise over this longer trip. 1st Pick 14 Weaponized (Ire) Jockey: Mr B. T. Stone Trainer: Sean Thomas Doyle, Ireland J: Mr B. T.

10	Well-bred mare who failed by a long chalk to meet market expectations on her Punchestown debut in December 2024. Much more like it when runner-up in a Limerick maiden hurdle on comeback and again ran to a fair level filling same spot in a Downpatrick bumper latest. Step up in trip will suit. 2nd Pick 10 Kisuton Enki (Fr) Jockey: Mr H. C. Swan Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Mr H. C. Swan T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2

5	Made no impact in a point but offered something to work with when a distant second to an excellent prospect on bumper debut at Gowran (2¼m, heavy) in February. May do better. 3rd Pick 5 Siege Of Carthage (Ire) Jockey: Ms A. M. Connolly Trainer: Josh Halley, Ireland J: Ms A. M. Connolly T: Josh Halley, Ireland	90	-	-	-	10%	10/1
