Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kimy looks the one to beat at Thurles, topping our ratings on 108 and standing six pounds clear of The Monkey Pole and Jonny Carrol, who share 102. That is a meaningful edge in a 12-runner field over 18 furlongs on good ground, and it makes her the most compelling choice on merit. The Monkey Pole and Jonny Carrol are the chief dangers, with Itsaworkinmaniam, two pounds further back on 100, also needing respect. Kimy gets the vote.

Harry's Dream was a second two starts back and a winner five starts back, but he was eighth last time out and returns after 240 days off, so fitness is a question. He has run on today's going and carries 166 lb, while our rating of 98 puts him sixth of twelve.

Mr E Mahon (7)
Brian M McMahon 0/2
Last seen 38 days ago, he's yet to win in his last five starts but has a second five runs back and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 100 ranks him fourth of 12. The risk is two eighth-place finishes in his last two outings, and 166 lb is a big weight to carry.

Jonny Carrol arrives rested after 41 days, has run on today's going before and is a leading danger on our figures, ranked third of twelve, with a fourth two starts back showing he can still run a race. The risk is a winless recent record, with 166 lb a stiff burden to carry.

Kingston Silver is winless in his last four, finishing ninth last time out and ninth again three starts back, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run on today's going and returns after 30 days, but 166 lb is a big burden and our figures rank him eleventh of twelve.

Space Warrior is winless in his last five, finishing seventh last time out and sixth two starts back, so he's consistent without threatening. He has run over today's trip and going and returns after 18 days, but 166 lb is a big burden, and our rating of 95 ranks him eighth of twelve.

Lightly raced and yet to win, Tea In The Park showed promise with a second two starts back and another second four starts back, but unseated last time out and returns after 193 days off. Carrying 166 lb, he looks unexposed with scope to improve.

Only 11 days since his last run, so The Monkey Pole is fit and consistent, finishing fifth, fourth, fifth and fifth in his last four, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating puts him second of twelve, though he is yet to win in recent starts and carries 166 lb.

Winless in her last five, Angelsworknovrtime was fifth last time out nine days ago and unplaced in the two runs before that, so she is hard to fancy under 159 lb. She has run over today's trip and going, and our figure ranks her tenth of twelve.

She was a winner three starts back and second the run before, but two sixths since and a 181-day absence leave questions over her fitness; she has run on today's going and carries 159 lb, while our rating of 98 ranks her fifth of twelve.

Kimy comes here in good heart after a second last time out, and a third three starts back, with 24 days since that run and experience of both today's trip and the going. Our top-rated runner at 108, she is yet to win in her last five, but carries 159 lb off an official 99.

Fourth last time out, and a winner two starts back, she has been in the frame consistently, but she carries 159 lb off an official mark of 97 and our figures rank her ninth of 12. She has run over today's trip and going, which is a plus.

Whispering Willow arrives off an eighth last time out, but a second two starts back and another second three starts back show she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last six, she carries 159 lb after 38 days off, which holds her back.
