5f · Going: Soft · 11 runners · €12,000
Verdict — our pick: Bounty
Bounty looks the call in this 5f sprint on soft ground at Naas, with a progressive profile that makes him the one to side with despite sitting just two pounds behind the top-rated Keke on our figures. He is firmly in the leading group at the top of the ratings, and his progressive profile is preferred over the top-rated. Keke is the chief danger, while Stag Night and Gazelle d'Or are both within a few pounds and cannot be dismissed, though the rest of the field look well held on these figures. Bounty is the selection.

1. Keke(6)Form: 144409
J: Shane Foley · T: Edward Lynam · 6yo · 10st 3lb · OR 93 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Dandy Man out of Destieux (Rip Van Winkle) · Owner: Wood Hall Stud Limited
Keke has run over today's trip and going before, and he arrives fresh from a run 14 days ago, with a fourth three starts back and another fourth four starts back showing he's usually in the mix. Our rating of 100 ranks him top of 11, but a ninth last time out is the obvious concern.
2. Stag Night(5)Form: 321500
J: Leigh Roche · T: W. McCreery · 8yo · 9st 13lb · OR 89 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Tagula out of Maid To Order (Zafonic) · Owner: Mrs Amanda Mccreery
Fit after 14 days off, Stag Night has run over today's trip and on this going, and he won four starts back with a second and a third also in his last six; our rating of 97 puts him third of eleven. The risk is two unplaced runs since, and 139 lb from stall five is no easy task.
3. Bounty(3)Form: 8094-0
J: James Ryan · T: Edward Lynam · 4yo · 9st 12lb · OR 88 · trainer 0% (14d)
By No Nay Never out of Rosdhu Queen (Invincible Spirit) · Owner: N W T Dalzell
Fit and fresh after 14 days off, Bounty has run over today's trip and on the going before, and a fourth two starts back is his best recent effort. He is our pick on that overall profile, with our 98 ranking him second of 11, though he is winless in his last five.
4. Gazelle d'Or(4)Form: 022400
J: Robbie Colgan · T: M C Grassick · 4yo · 9st 12lb · OR 88 · trainer 11% (14d)
By Equiano out of Via Aurelia (Antonius Pius) · Owner: Aidan Gleeson Joseph E Keeling
Gazelle d'Or is yet to win in her last six, but two seconds four and five starts back, a fourth three starts back and a quick 14-day turnaround show she's fit, and she has run over today's trip and going. Two unplaced runs since are the main risk, while carrying 138 lb.
5. Unauthorized(10)Form: -71827
J: Reese Holohan(5) · T: Aidan Melia · 3yo · 9st 11lb · OR 87 · trainer 10% (14d)
By Starspangledbanner out of Hergame (Motivator) · Owner: Ms M Connolly
Unauthorized was a seventh last time out, six days ago, but a second two starts back and a winner four starts back show he can perform; he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 137 lb from draw 10, he looks a midfield sort, ranked fifth of 11 by our rating.
6. Allsortz(9)Form: 130747
J: Luke McAteer · T: David Marnane · 3yo · 9st 4lb · OR 80 · trainer 22% (14d)
By Bated Breath out of Sub Sahara (Muhaarar) · Owner: Mrc International
Allsortz has run over today's trip and going before, but his recent form is mixed, a seventh last time out 35 days ago and a fourth two starts back. His win came six starts back, and he carries 130 lb from stall 9, with our rating of 84 sitting a few pounds above his official 80.
7. Cuban Grey(1)Form: 943508
J: Rory Mulligan(5) · T: Patrick J McKenna · 6yo · 8st 13lb · OR 75 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Havana Grey out of Tout Va Bien (Verglas) · Owner: Mckenna Partnership
Cuban Grey is hard to fancy, winless in his last six and beaten into eighth last time out, with a third four starts back his best finish in that spell. He has run over today's trip and going and is fit enough after 14 days, while our rating of 77 still ranks him tenth of 11.
8. Bay Of Supremacy(7)Form: 3-3155
J: Ben Coen · T: J. P. Murtagh · 3yo · 8st 12lb · OR 74 · trainer 10% (14d)
By Supremacy out of Mzyoon (Galileo) · Owner: Kildare Racing Syndicate Kilmichael Racing Syndicate
Fifth in each of his last two starts, he showed his best with a win three starts back and has been fit and busy, back after just 10 days, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 79 ranks him only eighth of 11, though, which points to a midfield finish from stall seven.
9. Gerrit's Gem(2)Form: 070340
J: Nathan Crosse · T: J G Coogan · 6yo · 8st 7lb · OR 69 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Belardo out of Oonagh (Arakan) · Owner: Gerrit Oreilly
Gerrit's Gem is winless in his last six and unplaced last time out, just six days ago, so he is hard to fancy, though a third three starts back and a fourth two starts back show some bite. He has run over today's trip and on this going, but our rating of 78 ranks him ninth of 11.
10. Harry's Hill(11)Form: 606210
J: Shay Wallace(7) · T: Martin Hassett · 8yo · 8st 7lb · OR 69 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Heeraat out of Lexington Rose (Captain Gerrard) · Owner: The Tipp Ramblers Partnership
Unplaced last time out, Harry's Hill is hard to fancy, though he did win two starts back and was second three starts back, and a fortnight's break suggests he's fit. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him last of 11 from draw 11 off 119 lb.
11. Apache Outlaw(8)Form: 503239
J: Chris Hayes · T: Adrian McGuinness · 6yo · 8st 7lb · OR 68 · trainer 13% (14d)
By Churchill out of Focus Of Attention (Intense Focus) · Owner: Dooley Thoroughbreds J Fairhurst
Apache Outlaw is yet to win in his last six, though a third, a second and another third across his prior runs show he's competitive, and he has run over today's trip and going. A ninth last time out and a quick six-day turnaround temper enthusiasm, while his rating of 82 sits above his official 68.
