Masked Angel
MASKED ANGEL deservedly scored at Dundalk in February and finished well from a poor position there last time, so makes most appeal returned to turf. Iff In Doubt has been an improver over the winter and looks worth a try at this sprint trip, with recent C&D second Reposado also considered.

Still only one win to her name but she was a fast-finishing second in a 12-runner C&D event on return. Bit below that level both starts since, so addition of visor needs to have positive effect.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh6fSoft to HeavyFlat9/16Naas5f 205ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places )Flat5/15Curragh6fHeavyFlat2/12Dundalk6fStandardFlat4/7Dundalk6fStandardFlat3/14- 18(17)I'm SpartacusJ: Adam CaffreyT: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland14-5818Age 56/16/113/2

Back on scoreboard at Dundalk (6f) in December and added another victory over that C&D last month.

Still a maiden but ran up to his best when second of 21 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago, 4 lb rise perhaps a bit harsh but he's respected on the back of that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh6fSoftFlat2/21Naas5f 205ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places )Flat6/15Dundalk6fStandardFlat2/11Dundalk7fStandardFlat4/10Dundalk1mStandardFlat4/9- 20(20)OppenheimerJ: C.

Down the field on all 3 starts in maidens but he shaped with a bit of promise when seventh of 12 at Naas (6f) on qualifying in September. Possibly needed the run when eleventh of 21 on handicap debut at this C&D (heavy, 20/1) 15 days ago but clearly needs to find some progress.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh6fSoftFlat11/21Naas5f 205yYielding to SoftFlat7/12Curragh7fGoodFlat8/10Leopardstown6f 110yGoodFlat11/14- 15(5)Iff In DoubtJ: William James LeeT: Edward Lynam, Ireland034-412Age 38/18/115/2

Progressive on all-weather this winter, winning at Dundalk (7f) in February before showing even better form when runner-up there (1m) 45 days ago, just outstayed late on.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024, though was a good second at Roscommon in August. Probably raced closer to pace than ideal when eighth of 15 in handicap there 7.5f, soft, 18/1) last time but overall strike rate tempers enthusiasm back from 6 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRoscommon7f 111ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat8/15Fairyhouse7fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/12Roscommon7f 111yGoodFlat2/12Naas7fYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Flat8/11Fairyhouse7fGoodFlat4/6- 1(8)Jon RiggensJ: Enola PolletT: Edward Lynam, Ireland8825-07Age 811/111/112/1

Regular in these big-field events here and ran much better than on his return when seventh of 17 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 40/1) 15 days ago.

Built on previous promise when getting off the mark in 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (6f) in February and fared best of those held up despite things not really panning out his way when 1¼ lengths third of 11 to I'm Spartacus at same C&D last time.

No better than mid-field in 2 maidens last summer for P. Twomey but showed promise on her first start for current connections when fourth of 12 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D (heavy) 37 days ago.
