Tip
Loingseoir
Verdict
Loingseoir is a moderate selection on our figures for this 13-runner test over 10 furlongs at Ballinrobe, rated just three pounds clear of a pair of established dangers in Lady Chartwell and Bucaneer's Spirit. It's a competitive race, hence only medium confidence, with several runners clustered close together on our figures. Signor Ferrari, not far behind that leading trio, adds to the depth and cannot be ruled out either. Loingseoir remains our selection, but this is more a case of picking the head of a well-matched field than a standout.

Comment
Loingseoir's recent form reads modestly — no better than fourth in his last five starts and winless throughout — but a rating well clear of his 69 official mark suggests more is possible. He has run over today's trip and going before and heads this field on figures.

Bucaneer's Spirit063342▾Sam Coen(5) · Ian Patrick Donoghue

Comment
Bucaneer's Spirit was a close second last time out, having also finished third on two occasions in this sequence, though he remains winless. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 72 puts him firmly amongst the leading dangers.

Lady Chartwell500-00▾Luke McAteer · P Sweeney

Comment
Lady Chartwell's finishing positions have been modest — no better than fifth in five starts and winless throughout — but a rating well clear of her 65 official mark suggests she is capable of more. She has run over today's trip and going before, and that gap keeps her among the leading dangers.
4
Elusive Duke3-7227▾Colin Keane · M A Molloy
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Elusive Duke has been runner-up twice and third once in his last five starts, without adding a win. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a strong speed figure gives him claims, though a rating of 66 keeps him more midfield than leading contender.
5
Metamorphic359-96▾Shane Foley · Mrs John Harrington
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Metamorphic's form has faded since finishing third five starts back, dipping to two ninths before a modest sixth last time out. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 68 is tempered by a cold yard, without a winner from 27 runners in the last fortnight.
6
Dancing Steve000-00▾Adam Caffrey · Adrian McGuinness
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Dancing Steve has failed to finish in the frame in any of his last five starts and remains without a win. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a notably strong speed figure hints at ability not yet showing up in the results.
7
Lady Arwen-00160▾W J Lee · Conor O'Dwyer
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Lady Arwen won three starts back but has failed to build on that since, following up with sixth and an unplaced effort last time out. She has run over today's trip and going before, and on a rating of 62 she remains one of the outsiders here.
8
Miss Crinshawn-34243▾Ben Coen · Peter Fahey
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Miss Crinshawn has been admirably consistent, never finishing worse than fourth in her last five starts, but a win has proved elusive throughout. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 63 reflects a solid if unspectacular formline that keeps her in the mix.
9
Signor Ferrari16743-▾Chris Hayes · P J F Murphy
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Signor Ferrari won five starts back and signed off that sequence with a third last time out, form that stands up despite a lengthy 419-day absence since. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 68 makes him a leading danger if fitness allows.
10
Brewel Hill8030-5▾Robbie Colgan · Peter McCreery
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Brewel Hill has been up and down in his last five starts, sandwiching a third between two unplaced efforts, and remains without a win. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 65 keeps him competitive without standing out among the leading names.
11
Nibras Rainbow601321▾Leigh Roche · Paul W Flynn
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Nibras Rainbow won last time out and was also successful four starts back, sandwiching a runner-up and a third in between — a string of solid placings in this sequence. He has run over today's trip and going before, but a modest rating of 58 leaves him among the outsiders.
12
Real Petite0-0160▾Jimmy Dalton(7) · Thomas Mullins
Connections & profile
Breeding & ratings
Comment
Real Petite won three starts back but has since faded, following up with sixth and an unplaced effort last time out. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 51 places her firmly among the outsiders in this field.

Comment
Cuckaloo Hill has managed no better than fourth in her last five starts, with three unplaced efforts in that sequence, and remains without a win. She has run over today's trip and going before, but a rating of 47 — the field's lowest — leaves her with a mountain to climb.
