25/1(+50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gotta Catch'em All 25/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 250/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 13 days ago. Behind the newcomer Coul Dreamer at Gowran despite having the benefit of experience. |

1st (9)  (9/4 +25%)Kelbelle |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kelbelle 9/4, €100,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f/6f winner He'zanarab and winner up to 1m Ivasecret. Barrier trial winner. Fifth of 13 in maiden (12/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. More to come. Cost 100,000euros as a yearling; travelled better than most when only 2l away at Naas. |
|||

7/2(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mythical Rock 7/2, Thrice-raced colt. Sixth of 22 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good, 12/1) 3 days ago. Down in trip. Beaten 8l at the Curragh on Saturday when partnered by a 10lb claimer. |

3rd (13)  (33/1 +67%)Poppy Pimento |
33/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Poppy Pimento 33/1, Lightly-raced filly. 11/2, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Twice beaten off modest marks in handicap company and very opposable back in a maiden. |
|||
4th (2)  (3/1 -9%)Coul Dreamer |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coul Dreamer 3/1, Promising type. 10/3, third of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 13 days ago, not knocked about. Will improve and one to take seriously back in trip. Didn't go unbacked at Gowran (1m1f, good to firm) and duly ran a promising first race. |
|||
5th (8)  (13/2 +54%)Colugo |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Colugo 13/2, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 13 in maiden (11/2) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. 100-1 fifth at Gowran reads well but finished behind Kelbelle when not as good at Naas. |
|||
6th (12)  (4/1 -14%)My Little Lady |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) My Little Lady 4/1, Twice-raced filly. 40/1, much better effort when second of 5 in maiden at Cork (8f) 32 days ago. Good shout on that form. Leading chance on the RPR of 83 she posted when second in a small field at Cork (1m, good). |
|||
7th (4)  (150/1 +25%)Lord Talbot |
150/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lord Talbot 150/1, Once-raced gelding. Tongue strap on, last of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm, 200/1) on debut 19 days ago. 200-1 and was in rear throughout at Leopardstown, trailing home last. |
|||
8th (5)  (40/1 -21%)Millguy |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Millguy 40/1, €9,000 foal, Dandy Man gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Fresnel. Wears tongue strap. Trainer-owned newcomer who goes in a tongue-tie and looks best watched. |
|||
9th (14)  (125/1 -25%)Sea Of Beauty |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sea Of Beauty 125/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 13 days ago. Never a factor at Gowran two weeks ago when a 25-1 chance. |
|||
|R| (7)  (100/1 +33%)Orange Avenue |
100/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Orange Avenue 100/1, Refused to race in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 100/1) on return 12 days ago. Poor initially; signs of being in season when refusing to take part on the AW. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
COUL DREAMER was a market springer ahead of his debut at Gowran Park and ran creditably in a staying-on third. On breeding, he should handle this slower ground. Lucky Melody contested decent maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh with a best finish of fourth at the former. It is not hard to see her involved in this contest. The 78-rated Miss Tapley regressed when unplaced on her third appearance in Gowran Park, but she has her chance on previous placed efforts at Galway and Gowran Park. My Little Lady showed significant improvement on her second start when chasing home the winner at Cork last month, while Genoah and Kelbelle cannot be ruled out.
COUL DREAMER made a promising start at Gowran and could be the way to go ahead of barrier trial winner Kelbelle, who shaped well at Naas, and My Little Lady, who wasn't beaten far in a useful contest at Cork.
If the forecast is right then COUL DREAMER will encounter slower conditions than at Gowran but that was a very likeable start.

1st (3)  (4/1 +20%)The Bog Bank |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Bog Bank 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July under this rider. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 9/2) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Three-time C&D winner; solid in defeat on AW last twice; go close again from a good draw. |
|||
2nd (8)  (15/2 -50%)Selective Power |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Selective Power 15/2, 14/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Naas (8f, good to soft) 34 days ago, a positive ride in first-time cheekpieces seemingly the catalyst. Needs to back that up. Got off the mark on turf when a comfortable winner at Naas last time; up 8lb and a player. |
|||
3rd (9)  (11/2 +8%)Pascalia |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pascalia 11/2, Creditable fourth of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 10 days ago, better placed than most. Cheekpieces back on. One to consider. AW winner has run well at times on turf this term incl' 4th at Curragh last time; player. |
|||
4th (12)  (22/1 -144%)Viva Voce |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Viva Voce 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable ninth of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Good shout on previous placed efforts at Naas. Last of six wins came over a year ago; not bad runs in defeat lately but a tough draw here. |
|||
5th (13)  (12/1 +52%)Fastman |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Fastman 12/1, C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Last of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm, 22/1) 19 days ago. Last won off 62 over C&D in 2022; not easy to fancy on current form. |
|||
6th (15)  (18/1 -13%)Zero Fighter |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Zero Fighter 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 98 days ago. Record of 1-16 on Flat; some decent AW runs in spring; tough draw on return. |
|||
7th (10)  (7/1 -17%)Roman Harry |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Roman Harry 7/1, Good third of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 31 days ago, nearest finish. Hood on 1st time. Can pick up a race or two. A close 3rd at Gowran over 7f last time; this trip could suit better and a hood added. |
|||
8th (11)  (18/1 +10%)Jalo |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Jalo 18/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/1) 12 days ago. AW winner hasn't been at his best in recent starts but is coming down the weights. |
|||
9th (14)  (13/2 +74%)Rattletheonionbag |
13/2(+74%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Rattletheonionbag 13/2, 14/1, below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 113 days ago. Two decent maiden runs last year; regressive in handicaps early this year. |
|||
10th (7)  (28/1 +15%)Mulgrave |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mulgrave 28/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 16/1) 67 days ago. Very hard to make a case for on form this season. All six wins have come on AW; not nearly as effective on turf even off a lower mark. |
|||
11th (4)  (11/1 +31%)Monzoon |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Monzoon 11/1, Seventeenth of 21 in handicap (14/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 47 days ago. New yard. Only one turf win; didn't stay 1m1f at Leopardstown last time; this suits better. |
|||
12th (2)  (33/1 -136%)Distillate |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Distillate 33/1, Course winner. 22/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Four wins up to 7f incl' over 5f at this track; has to rebound from two below-par runs. |
|||
13th (1)  (12/1 -140%)Comfort Line |
12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Comfort Line 12/1, Didn't need to improve to win 13-runner handicap (5/1) at Dundalk (8f) 46 days ago, driven out. 2 lb rise might not stop him going well again. Won sixth race when scoring at Dundalk last time; wide draw but still respected up 2lb. |
|||
14th (6)  (16/1 -60%)Eurielle |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eurielle 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap (16/1) at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 89 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Some decent maiden runs; hampered when well beaten on h'cap debut and is better than that. |
|||
15th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Chestnutter |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chestnutter 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Won back-to-back handicaps last year off higher marks; poor in two starts for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Rory Mulligan's 7lb claim came to the fore on PASCALIA who showed up well in a dead-heat for fourth in a massive field at the Curragh. The horse that got up to share fourth with her came out and won a handicap at Killarney last Friday. The Bog Bank absolutely loves Bellewstown and has to be feared with Alyse Jane Clarke taking 10lb off her back. The pair combined to win over C&D in July. Selective Power cruised home at Naas which didn't go unnoticed by the handicapper who has hit him with a stone. If he is in the same mood, though, he would be hard to contain. Roman Harry and Comfort Line are others with chances.
VIVA VOCE has done better with his sights lowered of late and could be set to get off the mark on these shores. The Bog Bank goes well here and looks ready for another big run. Pascalia and Roman Harry are also on the shortlist.
A standing dish here, THE BOG BANK (nap) has twice run well on the AW since winning over C&D and is well drawn so can score again.

|||
1st (11)  (18/1 -29%)Cherry Pink |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cherry Pink 18/1, 20/1 and visored for 1st time, first run since leaving M. Halford & T. Collins when respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 12 days ago. Enters calculations. Maiden has been placed a number of times; has to find improvement to score. |
|||
2nd (14)  (18/1 -50%)Royal Tribute |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Royal Tribute 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 17 in handicap (11/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 48 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Record of 2-38 and has to improve on recent efforts; visor tried. |

First run since leaving Laura Hourigan when creditable second of 14 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 34 days ago. Three-time winner has run well over C&D; a well beaten 2nd last time but not ruled out. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 +13%)Breezy Zoff |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Breezy Zoff 7/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 54 days ago. Others more persuasive. Just 1-31; below form over C&D last time but a chance on her better runs earlier this term. |
|||
5th (2)  (4/1 +33%)Rampage |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rampage 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Visor back on and now below his last winning mark. Good C&D run in July and at Leopardstown last time; tough draw but can still run well. |
|||
6th (12)  (50/1 -100%)Coffeemeanscoffee |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Coffeemeanscoffee 50/1, Below form tenth of 17 in handicap (28/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 48 days ago. Four-time winner has been below form both starts this year and has to do more. |

15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Blue Wood 15/2, Latest win at Down Royal in June. Very good third of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Dundalk (8f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Won at Down Royal and decent runs in defeat since; chance with cheekpieces added. |
|||
8th (6)  (40/1 -150%)Tai Sing Yeh |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tai Sing Yeh 40/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, last of 11 in claimer at Gowran (7f, good) 13 days ago. Has been given every chance by the handicapper but isn't easy to assess at present. 12 wins and has run well in defeat here too; below form last twice and this trip a stretch. |
|||

9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Smaoineamh Sile 9/2, C&D winner.

50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hastily 50/1, 200/1, last of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Others preferred back on the level. Dual winner has been regressive since last win and others make more appeal. |
|||
11th (7)  (15/2 +25%)The Blue Panther |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Blue Panther 15/2, Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Listowel in June.

|||
12th (10)  (11/1 -57%)Cousin Shay |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cousin Shay 11/1, 4/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f), doing too much too soon. Off 136 days and has to prove he's as effective on turf. In decent form on AW in spring but has to prove is as effective on turf. |
|||
13th (1)  (12/1 +14%)Barnhill Rose |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barnhill Rose 12/1, 18/1, below form tenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Four wins and has run well over C&D; poor on last three runs but drops in grade now. |
|||
14th (3)  (16/1 -45%)River Derwent |

Comes with risks attached given issues at the stalls. Two AW wins and one on turf this year; slowly away at Galway last time but a chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Second-reserve Arch Enemy would be threatening if getting a run as she stayed on for second in a much higher grade at Leopardstown last Thursday. Jamie Powell has a good record aboard prominent-racer SMAOINEAMH SILE as he has steered her to her last couple of victories. The pair couldn't quite hold on over further in Leopardstown, but that runner-up berth was still a decent effort. Blue Wood is capable off his mark and first-time cheekpieces might eke out a bit more from him, while Cousin Shay is unexposed on turf having been extensively campaigned on the Polytrack at Dundalk. Pimstrel made a promising start to life with George Kingston when second behind an easy winner in Naas.
SMAOINEAMH SILE was just about better than ever when second at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and eased 1 lb, a very bold bid looks on the cards. Blue Wood also arrives in good order, while Cherry Pink is a potential improver having not been with his yard long.
Winner of a division of this race last year, SMAOINEAMH SILE has been in mostly good form this year and can score again.

10/3(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Copie Conforme 10/3, C&D winner. Winner here in July. 11/2, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner and has continued to run well, not beaten that far into sixth at Leopardstown. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/2 +61%)Blue Soul |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blue Soul 11/2, 11/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Not firing at present. Naas was a backward step but chance if returning to form. |
|||
3rd (3)  (13/2 +13%)Bella Colombia |
13/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bella Colombia 13/2, Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 7 days ago. Stable having good spell. Visor back on. Likely to be on the premises. Has produced respectable efforts in her last three handicaps (7f-1m). |

4th (2)  (10/1 -11%)Vassula Ryden |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Vassula Ryden 10/1, 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good sixth of 12 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 31 days ago. Trainer going well. Visor back on. Likely to continue in form. Surprising to see the visor return after a close sixth in first-time blinkers at Gowran. |
|||
5th (4)  (16/1 +20%)Breathe Again |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Breathe Again 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 37 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Beat only three home on handicap debut at the Curragh when 20-1; this might be easier. |
|||
6th (6)  (9/2 -29%)Nakasero |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nakasero 9/2, Winner at Killarney in July. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 26 days ago. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Progressive profile in handicaps and thereabouts if coping with his wide stall. |
|||
7th (7)  (14/1 +0%)Cornahilt Soldier |

13/2(-117%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nans View 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 17 in handicap (28/1) at Galway (8.4f, soft) 25 days ago, never nearer. Unexposed and worth a chance to go one better. 2nd on handicap debut at Galway despite a poor draw and being forced wide. |
|||
9th (14)  (40/1 -21%)Star Of Atlantis |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Star Of Atlantis 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must step up. Easily the pick of her four maiden attempts was on debut at Naas in May (1m). |
|||
|U| (9)  (33/1 -65%)Vierson |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vierson 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 40/1). Off 95 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Hard to fancy. Ability without threatening in 2yo outings and may have needed her comeback. |
|||
10th (15)  (80/1 -142%)Your Day To Shine |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Your Day To Shine 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 18 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere. Minor maiden form and failed to raise his profile on handicap debut (25-1). |
|||
11th (1)  (12/1 +14%)Her Ladyship |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Her Ladyship 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Sligo in May. 16/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 47 days ago. Difficult ask. Sprint winner; failed to fire on handicap debut (7f) and could be better drawn. |
|||
12th (11)  (25/1 -56%)Nika Pika |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Nika Pika 25/1, Sixth of 8 in claimer at Roscommon (10.4f, heavy, 16/1) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Others are more persuasive. Competitive in handicaps and ran as the market suggested back in a claimer last time. |
|||
13th (13)  (33/1 -106%)Point Duty |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Point Duty 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has the scope for some improvement. Hood added for handicap debut and his qualifying runs weren't devoid of promise. |
|||
14th (12)  (16/1 -14%)Pauline's Dream |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pauline's Dream 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Middle effort when sixth of 11 at Naas bodes well with a view to this initial mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A tricky race. Willie McCreery runs two horses with Billy Lee on BELLA COLOMBIA. This filly has competed at higher levels and it may have been the heavy ground that caught her out when fourth in this grade at Roscommon. Nans View caught the eye with a runner-up finish posted on handicap debut at Galway. She made sustained headway in the straight and could build upon that. Nakasero delivered in Killarney and wasn't beaten far into third in a valuable Racing League contest in Wolverhampton at the start of the month, while Vierson tries a new trip on her first venture into handicaps and could outrun her odds.
NANS VIEW has few miles on the clock and took a step forward when runner-up at Galway last time, so she's fancied to produce another improved performance to go one better. Nakasero is an obvious threat and Bella Colombia can get involved with the visor refitted.
Again the draw could have been kinder, but NANS VIEW ran a big race on her handicap debut at Galway given the wide trip she endured.

10/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gazelle D'or 10/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable ninth of 21 in minor event (100/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Booking of Cleary a plus. Solid claims. Second at Cork before running as well as she was entitled to in a sales race. |

2nd (4)  (7/2 -100%)Bobbi Rosa |
7/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bobbi Rosa 7/2, Promising type. 28/1, second of 14 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Open to further progress and makes plenty of appeal. Showed more on faster ground at Cork in chasing home the favourite; thereabouts. |
|||
3rd (6)  (6/5 +31%)Fiona Maccoul |
6/5(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fiona Maccoul 6/5, Promising type. Fifth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 9/2) on debut 10 days ago, having to weave through. Worth a chance to open her account on the back of an eye-catching first effort. Eyecatching at the Curragh after starting slowly; drops to 5f but seriously considered. |
|||
4th (5)  (10/1 +38%)Smoke Them Out |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Smoke Them Out 10/1, Thrice-raced colt. Eighth of 19 in maiden (20/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Others are more persuasive. No closer then 6l in 5f/6f maidens and again he's up against it on the figures. |

66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Magna Beauty 66/1, Once-raced filly. 66/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut 12 days ago, having to pick way through. Never dangerous after starting slowly over 6f on the AW (66-1); one for down the line. |
|||

16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sienna Grey 16/1, Once-raced filly. Hooded tongue strap on, eighth of 14 in maiden (125/1) at Cork (5f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago. Had this headgear combination on for debut when beaten 4l into midfield at Cork (5f). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FIONA MACCOUL was beaten six and a half lengths on debut recently but met in-running trouble. Speedily-bred, she was slowly away at the Curragh and having met traffic, finished well to finish a never nearer fifth behind the easy winner. She should benefit from that run, dropping a furlong in distance and again has a light weight. Keen-going Bobbi Rosa finished second at Cork recently, with the smart winner finishing second at Listed level at York this week. Gazelle D'or is thoroughly dependable and reverts to maiden company having run well enough in the Ballyhane Stakes. Rated 74, she again carries a light weight and has a big advantage from the plum draw here in stall one.
FIONA MACCOUL caught the eye with her finishing effort at the Curragh recently and she can probably improve enough to get the better of Bobbi Rosa, who took a marked step forward at Cork last time out. Gazelle D'Or is the other obvious player.
Jessica Harrington's FIONA MACCOUL was quite an eyecatcher at the Curragh and hopefully she can deal with this sharper test.

15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Harry's Hill 15/2, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Consistent seven-time winner and 4lb drop for latest 2l defeat at the Curragh is welcomed. |
|||
2nd (4)  (9/2 +10%)Transcendental |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Transcendental 9/2, Latest win at Navan in April. 11/1, good third of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Ran right up to her best when going down in a bunch finish at the Curragh 17 days ago. |
|||
3rd (13)  (8/1 -33%)Hero Of The Hour |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Hero Of The Hour 8/1, On a hat-trick after wins at Down Royal (5f) and Naas (6f) in recent weeks. Should go well again. Up another 4lb here in tougher company and softening ground would be a concern. |
|||
4th (10)  (6/1 +63%)Polar Bear |
6/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Polar Bear 6/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 17/2) 34 days ago. Only 2-23 but he was only short-headed in this 12 months ago when 13lb higher. |

18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Scorchio 18/1, Latest win at Cork in May. Last of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Dundalk (6f) 12 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Blinkers on 1st time. Has dropped back to a tempting mark and new headgear could give her a lift. |
|||
7th (6)  (20/1 -43%)Zarra Ellis |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zarra Ellis 20/1, Winner at Cork in June. Ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Yard having good spell. Made all to get off the mark in a 5f maiden at Cork; hasn't built on that. |
|||

|||
9th (12)  (14/1 +30%)Inishmot Prince |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Inishmot Prince 14/1, 16/1, shaped better than result when seventh of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 83 days ago. Back down in trip. All nine wins on AW and made it 0-16 on turf when seventh of 19 at the Curragh in June. |
|||
10th (2)  (4/1 -33%)Air Force One |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Air Force One 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Navan in May. Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good ½-length second of 8 to Rathbranchurch in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 54 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Generously dropped 2lb despite an unfortunate defeat here the last time. |
|||
11th (9)  (10/1 +29%)Rathbranchurch |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rathbranchurch 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to firm, 17/2) 17 days ago. Course winner in July but now has to rebound after a couple of lesser efforts. |
|||
12th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Escaping Thejungle |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Escaping Thejungle 16/1, C&D winner. 9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good). Off 14 months. Well handicapped but can't afford to be rusty after her long absence. |
|||
13th (14)  (80/1 -21%)Navalny |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Navalny 80/1, 125/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 9 months. Significantly down in trip. Hasn't progressed; not only does he lack a run but is 5lb out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RATHBRANCHURCH is a busy sprinter who is badly drawn in 14 but won over today's course-and-distance in July, narrowly defeating two of today's rivals. The selection was well held on recent runs but has an excellent course record, his rating has recently slipped and is now 1lb better off, each respectively, with July's placed-horses Air Force One and Only Spoofing. Air Force One also has a wide draw in 12 but is open to more progression being a lightly enough raced three-year-old. Hero Of The Hour has a good draw in 3 and while raised 4lb for winning at Naas recently, his same rider is able to claim 3lb today, so has hat-trick prospects.
AIR FORCE ONE looked an unlucky loser here last time and can gain compensation now. Hero of The Hour is an improved performer since returning to turf and rates an obvious danger. Transcendental and the selection's stablemate Heart of Darkness complete the shortlist.
Heart Of Darkness is interesting but Billy Lee seemingly prefers the chance of stablemate AIR FORCE ONE who is progressing.

12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ob La Di 12/1, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good to firm, 10/1) 83 days ago. Yard having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Decent efforts in three maidens from 1m2f-1m4f; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/2 +0%)Market Timing |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Market Timing 11/2, Once-raced filly. 4/1, third of 12 in maiden at this course (12.2f, good) on debut 53 days ago, not knocked about. Yard having good spell. Should have more to offer. Third on debut over C&D; the winner ran well in a French Group 3 since, be involved today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (11/10 +8%)Rubies Are Red |
11/10(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rubies Are Red 11/10, Useful filly. 40/1 and visored for 1st time, 24¼ lengths last of 14 to You Got To Me in Irish Oaks at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. The one to beat back in these much calmer waters. Close 2nd in Lingfield Oaks Trial but below form since in Group races; should win. |
|||
4th (1)  (28/1 -40%)Lagoon Nebula |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lagoon Nebula 28/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden (25/1) at Cork (10.4f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago. Yard having good spell. Plenty to find on form. Ran with some credit on debut at Cork recently; can improve and run respectably. |
|||
5th (6)  (6/1 -9%)Sissi |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sissi 6/1, Twice-raced filly. Good second of 5 in maiden at Killarney (11.3f, good to firm, 7/1) 43 days ago. Needs a step forward here though. Runner-up in a Killarney maiden and the winner was runner-up in a Group 3 since; go well. |

6th (7)  (125/1 -681%)The Mighty Penny |
125/1(-681%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Mighty Penny 125/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 13 in maiden (14/1) at Galway (12f, soft) on debut 25 days ago. May well do better. Ran with some credit on debut in a Galway maiden over this trip; should have improved. |
|||
7th (4)  (10/3 +17%)Realt Na Ri |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Realt Na Ri 10/3, Lightly-raced filly. 4½ lengths fourth of 7 to The Euphrates in listed race at Gowran (12.2f, good, 40/1) 31 days ago. Progressing well recently. Considered. Fourth in a Gowran Listed event; has a bit to find with Rubies Are Red but is a player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MARKET TIMING should benefit from last month's promising debut here. Bred for middle-to-long distances, she was outpaced four furlongs out but finished nicely, with the winner subsequently finishing fourth at Group 3 level and the runner-up scoring at Galway. Regally bred Rubies Are Red notably narrowly failed to catch subsequent Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me in a Lingfield Listed race in May but has disappointed in three top races since. Rated 97, she was nonetheless well held in the English Oaks and Ribblesdale and weakened very tamely having led in the Irish Oaks, and now runs in first-time blinkers. Sissi finished second to a subsequently Group-placed winner at Killarney, where the third horse won subsequently, and should compete.
RUBIES ARE RED has far less on her plate here so Aidan O'Brien's filly is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of the improving Realt Na Ri. Market Timing and Ob La Di appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
Rated 97, RUBIES ARE RED should be winning this but she will need to be close to her best.

15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Glan 15/2, Once-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 33/1, tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Much respected on her handicap debut. Not a bad hurdle run last time; maiden winner isn't ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Firstman 100/1, Course winner. Last of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 82 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten at Leopardstown last time and has to improve plenty from that. |

12th (8)  (80/1 -142%)Morph Speed |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Morph Speed 80/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20.5f, soft) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor on last Flat run. Has lost his way over the last two years and doesn't make much appeal even off a low mark. |

13th (12)  (50/1 -100%)The Black Tiger |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The Black Tiger 50/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 80/1) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has work to do. Well below best in three starts for this yard this term; this is a big step-up in trip. |

|DQ| (7)  (4/1 -45%)Royal Eagle |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Royal Eagle 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Ballinrobe in June. 9/4, good third of 11 in handicap at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. In the picture. Dual-purpose mare has been running well in both codes lately and should run well again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Frankel gelding BALTIC BIRD is forgiven his recent Galway hurdling disappointment as he had previously run very well in a prestigious race at that festival five days earlier. He finished fourth to one Extensio at Fairyhouse in July and being a strong stayer, is well suited by this distance. Royal Eagle finished third over hurdles at the Galway festival and again ran well on the flat at Tramore recently. She also stays well and today's different rider again claims 7lb but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper. Reina Del Mar could be suited by trying this extreme flat distance for the first time and today's rider claims 5lb.
Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand and his ROYAL EAGLE gets the vote on the back of a good Tramore third. In-form stablemate Barrier could emerge as the main threat with handily-weighted duo Peckham Springs and Walking On Glass also worthy of respect.
Though disappointing over hurdles at Galway after a cracking runner-up effort in a valuable 2m handicap there, BALTIC BIRD can rebound.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
