5.50 Wexford: Brave Josee
Johnny Ward
Finished: 10thSP: 3/1
This four-year-old was produced in great shape by Declan Queally to nearly land a gamble at Sligo when she possibly got there too soon last time out, but did little wrong, and Kevin Healy may be able to wait a bit longer now she drops back in distance.
The main danger looks to be the Sligo winner’s stablemate, Kilt, but Brave Josee is the one for me.
6.07 Bellewstown: Bay Of Dreams
Johnny Ward
Finished: 1stSP: 5/1
I tipped this filly up at Leopardstown on the basis of the better ground when she duly showed nothing.
Since then, she has gotten her act together, and she did an awful lot right before being reeled in back at Leopardstown when last seen.
She looks primed off a rating that would have been a gift in the form she was in last summer in Britain.

8.17 Bellewstown: Sir Trancealot
Johnny Ward
Finished: 5thSP: 7/2
This Camelot-bred seemed to show a fine attitude on handicap debut at Cork, simply staying on after coming under pressure quite a long way out, and his yard is flying.
Patrick McGettigan will be keen to get him handy from stall 15, which is the only concern.
