1st (1) (2/1 +20%) Sun Never Sets |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Sun Never Sets 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 13 in nursery at Naas (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Yard having good spell. Well in the mix. Just over a length behind Tatum at Naas and might struggle to reverse the form. |

2nd (6) (15/8 +16%) Tatum |
15/8(+16%) | (6) Tatum 15/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, very good third of 13 in nursery at Naas (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Big shout. Strong in market for nursery debut at Naas and ran a lovely race to be never-nearer third. |

4th (3) (14/1 -65%) Interestnpenalties |
14/1(-65%) | (3) Interestnpenalties 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Must find best form. Fourth in Down Royal contest that has worked out well; gelded; headgear on for h'cap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/3 +5%) Not Far To Fall |
10/3(+5%) | (4) Not Far To Fall 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, third of 10 in maiden at Navan (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago, sticking to task. Makes handicap debut and can't be discounted. Beaten fractions in claiming maiden over 1m at Navan; opening mark could be exploitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 -30%) Cool Dan |
13/2(-30%) | (2) Cool Dan 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Yard having good spell so much respected on his handicap debut. Being beaten 10l by National Stakes winner reads well but Keane looks elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This ground is likely to be very testing. On breeding, SUN NEVER SETS ought to handle deep ground and has plenty in her favour. She is the highest rated in the field and in-form claimer Wayne Hassett takes 7lb off her back. She hasn't been beaten far in her last three starts and was placed in two of them. Furthermore, she goes to work from the best draw in stall one. Noel Meade and Colin Meade are a useful combination and they team up with Tatum who kept on well for third over slightly further in Naas. That was on much better ground, but she does look dangerous. Not Far To Fall was only beaten a neck and a head into third in a claiming maiden at Navan which gives him a shot.
TATUM looks the way to go on the back of her very good Naas third with her yard also going very well. Top-weight Sun Never Sets is feared most ahead of Not Far To Fall and Interestnpenalties.
Colin Keane prefers TATUM to the Lyons runner Cool Dandy; the daughter of Postponed can build on her third at Naas on handicap bow

Stable in good form so she merits serious consideration if building on that effort. Third over just shy of 6f at Sligo (soft) in April and not seen since; bred to stay. |

Beauty Bella |

Engaged Bellewstown 1.25 Wednesday. Placed four times including over C&D; fourth in claiming maiden here on Wednesday. |

Filly's dam is half-sister to Listed winner out of 1,000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DUMB LOVE posted a third place in a fillies' maiden on soft ground at Naas last month which has to give her every chance here. She wasn't at her best on her next start, but is taken to bounce back in first-time blinkers. Perseids sets the standard with runner-up berths banked at Naas and Dundalk, but testing ground is a nagging concern. Her dam was more than capable on slow ground so she could handle it and, if she does, she has sound claims. Local Girl acquitted herself well in second on slow ground at Leopardstown in July and gets first-time cheekpieces. She has plenty to find at these weights, but testing ground could make things interesting. Hasiyna is returning off a break and represents an in-form Dermot Weld, so a market check is advised.
Not an easy maiden to assess and Dermot Weld's twice-raced filly HASIYNA is taken to come out on top if, as expected, building on her encouraging Sligo third after an absence. Perseids and Dumb Love both have the form to have a big say if back on their A-games and can chase home the selection in that order.
The Hartys might strike here with CATWALK COUTURE who made a promising debut at Naas a year ago; Hasiyna looks a danger

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LISIEUX looks the part. This Camacho filly finished third at Listowel last week when only collared in the closing stages. The form was franked when the runner-up beat a big field in Cork on Tuesday. Crucially, Lisieux has a soft-ground victory from Naas last year in her locker and she is on a very handy mark. Yuzu has shown ability on rain-softened ground in better races. The assessor has dropped her by 4lb, so she should be very competitive despite the impediment of being drawn wide in stall 17. Hope And Innocence is coming down the weights and has a more than capable 7lb claimer booked. She didn't run badly in fourth at this track in July and also has form on soft ground. Bride Tree showed more in third at the Curragh and could build upon that.
Lots with chances but Sarah Dawson's low-mileage filly BRIDE TREE can race off the same mark as when an excellent Curragh third last time out so edges the vote. Irish Rumour is feared most on the back of her very good Leopardstown fourth, with top-weight Bright Dick also worth considering in an open handicap.
The top weight BRIGHT DICK probably wants further ideally but he's still well capable of winning a race of this nature

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
There looks like there could be plenty of pace in this race and it may be worth taking a chance on SPECKLED MEADOW. S-he couldn't get involved from a wide draw when finishing mid-division at Galway, but is better judged on her running-on second over an extended 7f at Leopardstown on her penultimate start. She is a confirmed mudlark and will relish these conditions. Noel Meade's Tea Olive has been off since disappointing at Leopardstown in July, but could travel into contention behind the pace on ground she will handle. The handicapper has given her a chance by easing her by 4lb. Drop The Dip was strong off the front on bottomless ground at Listowel last week, so has to be respected under the 7lb penalty. Recent winners Perfect Poise and Lady Arwen will have their supporters.
PERFECT POISE has gone the right way in handicaps since stepped back up to 1m. She was merely pushed out to see off 13 rivals at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago and could still be ahead of the assessor. Drop The Dip and Lady Arwen are other thriving sorts who are likely to have a say.
Adam Caffrey gets a tune out of SPECKLED MEADOW and the more rain the better for the six-year-old mare who hit form this time last year

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STEP BACK IN TIME has hit a bit of form and has prospects of doubling her career total. She made the breakthrough off a lowly mark in Navan at the start of the month and showed that her new rating wasn't beyond her when finishing a close fourth at Fairyhouse. Both of those races were in a slightly higher grade than this one. Distillate suffered a nightmare journey when fifth at Down Royal on Monday. She was caught in the closing stages at Navan by Step Back In Time, so has to rate a danger and this ground won't inconvenience her. Eruption is certainly on a mark she can be competitive off. Distillate's stablemate, Zig Zag Zyggy, won here in July. His form is in and out, however, he is capable on a going day but wouldn't want the ground too deep.
STEP BACK IN TIME is in top form and could be the way to go in this handicap. Catherine Chroi and Eruption are a couple of others to consider.
Last year's second REALTIN FANTASY isn't the easiest to win with but has conditions in her favour and is nicely drawn

Zenon |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A very tricky puzzle. ZENON hasn't been seen on a racecourse since winning a good pot at Killarney in August 2020 but, interestingly, he holds an entry in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket next month which indicates that he is training well. Staying trips are his forte and he enjoys deep ground. Charming Star was tough in winning over a similar trip in a maiden at Listowel. He will plough through conditions and should be no backmarker. The lightly-raced Martinstown should come on from his comeback third in Roscommon at the start of the month. He is clearly talented, as evidenced by landing a hot maiden in Cork last year, but he may not want the ground to be deep. Joseph O'Brien's Roaring Gallagher could be an improver up in trip with Conor Stone-Walsh's 7lb claim a bonus.
STAR HARBOUR has acquitted himself well in some competitive handicaps in Britain in recent weeks and this looks a good opportunity for another win. Aidan O'Brien's Martinstown can give him most to think about ahead of Mr King.
The highest rated in the race STAR HARBOUR has still to convince at this trip but he could just get away with it around this track

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
John McConnell's DULEEK STREET was an emphatic winner of a maiden hurdle on soft ground at Cartmel last month, so has to be appealing off a mark of 56 as he reverts back to the Flat. In addition, Siobhan Rutledge takes 3lb off his back. Narlita just gets into this grade and has to be feared. She just lost out by the minimum margin over a shorter trip at Gowran Park in May. She stays this trip and is used to competing in higher classes of races. Katonah caught a tartar when second in Listowel after travelling well on the deep ground and should be in contention. Nusra will enjoy these conditions and arrives on the back of a victory in an apprentice handicap at Ffos Las last month.
DULEEK STREET arrives on the back of a ready hurdle success at Cartmel last month and there really ought to be a race in him off this sort of mark on the Flat. Katonah and Snowhaven arrive on the back of good runs in 3-y-o only events and are feared most ahead of ahead of the selection's stablemate St Cianans.
Having been denied a clear run at Listowel KATONAH did well to stay on for second over this trip in tesing ground and gets the vote
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
