5/2(-33%) | (6) Chantilly 5/2, Thrice-raced colt. Second of 10 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 13/2) 19 days ago. Should continue to give a good account. Finished second at Gowran despite getting upset in the stalls; obvious contender. |

150/1(-50%) | (15) Moutarde 150/1, Twice-raced colt. 150/1, thirteenth of 17 in maiden at this course (7f, soft) 24 days ago. Well behind Solar Saving on their Navan debuts and was no better here 24 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (40/1 +20%) Del Posto |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Del Posto 40/1, Once-raced colt. Sixth of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Tipperary (9f, heavy) on debut 35 days ago. Should improve on his Tipperary run (1m1f, heavy) but he was beaten a long way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (22) (100/1 -150%) Marvellous Lady |
100/1(-150%) | (22) Marvellous Lady 100/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on debut. Off 142 days. Significantly up in trip. Ran in a barrier trial before finishing a promising sixth at Fairyhouse in June (6f, good). |

80/1(-142%) | (18) Total Look 80/1, Once-raced gelding. 25/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft) on debut 22 days ago. Never dangerous after starting slowly at Naas (1m, soft/heavy). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (22/1 -10%) I Bid You Ajou |
22/1(-10%) | (11) I Bid You Ajou 22/1, Foaled February 22. €8,000 foal, Shalaa colt. Half-brother to French 7.5f winner Aclou and 7f winner Purple Love. Dam French 2-y-o 7.5f winner. Half-brother to winners Purple Love (7f; RPR 81) and Aclou (French 7.5f AW). |

100/1(-100%) | (12) Judicial Reward 100/1, Once-raced gelding. 25/1, twelfth of 17 in maiden at this course (7f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Too green to do himself justice when down the field over 7f here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (1) (150/1 -50%) Anyothername |
150/1(-50%) | (1) Anyothername 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourteenth of 20 in maiden (125/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy) 5 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Has finished around 20l off the principals in first two races, the latest only last week. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHANTILLY bumped into a promising stablemate when a narrow second over an extended mile at Gowran on his most recent outing. That was his second runner-up finish in a row and it would be no surprise to see the son of Galileo go one better here. That said, Autumn Winter was far from disgraced on his debut and could give his stable companion plenty to think about, while Fine Point and Kolachi are others with valid form claims.
AUTUMN WINTER shaped like a useful prospect when beaten just under 2 lengths at Leopardstown on debut 2 weeks ago and he can find the required improvement to beat standard setter Chantilly. Kolachi and Fine Point are others to consider.
Chantilly and Kolachi have claims but AUTUMN WINTER was patently in need of the experience when a promising fifth on debut.

1st (1) (11/4 -57%) Big Gossey |
11/4(-57%) | (1) Big Gossey 11/4, Smart gelding. 18/1, respectable 4 lengths seventh of 12 to Dun Na Sead in Mercury Stakes at Dundalk (5f) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Chance is there for all to see. Bang in form and these terms are favourable, but all his best form is at shorter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/4 +34%) Yosemite Valley |
5/4(+34%) | (4) Yosemite Valley 5/4, Confirmed previous promise when winning 10-runner maiden at this course (6f, soft) 43 days ago. Open to further improvement and looks a player. Placed in a Group race at two; won his maiden recently and retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 -30%) Real Force |
13/2(-30%) | (2) Real Force 13/2, Useful gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 6/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Fine over this far and on testing ground, but something to prove now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 +45%) Verhoyen |
3/1(+45%) | (3) Verhoyen 3/1, Useful gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 33/1) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Course specialist but looks to be relying on a couple of these being below par. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (33/1 +18%) Alexander John |
33/1(+18%) | (5) Alexander John 33/1, Fairly useful colt. 14/1, below form 8 lengths fourth of 10 to Yosemite Valley in maiden at this course (6f, soft) 43 days ago, slowly away. Some good form but now a 13-race maiden and he's not improving. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
On ratings, this looks a great opportunity for four-time course scorer BIG GOSSEY to regain the winning thread. The only chink in the six-year-old's armour is the fact that he has yet to triumph over 7f. Nevertheless, he looks the one to beat, with last-time-out maiden winner Yosemite Valley feared most. The Shamardal colt is heading in the right direction and will appreciate the extra furlong, while Real Force should appreciate the step up in distance too.
YOSEMITE VALLEY got off the mark in good style in a course maiden in September and this longer trip should bring more out of him, so he's preferred to Big Gossey, who is the clear form pick but hasn't been firing of late. Verhoyen is also considered.
The trip is a worry for Big Gossey and ready preference is for the lesser exposed YOSEMITE VALLEY, who retains plenty of potential.

1st (20) (13/2 +41%) Zephron |
13/2(+41%) | (20) Zephron 13/2, Course winner. Latest win at Cork in September. 11/1, wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 20 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago. Cork winner in September but held by Blue Peak on form of both C&D runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (21) (4/1 +60%) Blue Peak |
4/1(+60%) | (21) Blue Peak 4/1, C&D winner in October. 5/1, ran well from a 7 lb higher mark when second of 20 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago, running on. In top form at present so could well be in the shake-up again. In-foal filly in good form over C&D lately; should go well again despite being 3lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (12/1 +40%) Mogwli |
12/1(+40%) | (15) Mogwli 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in September. Respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy, 11/1) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Looks competitive on form. Mudlark has been running consistently well since winning over 1m in August; place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (33/1 -32%) Expressova |
33/1(-32%) | (13) Expressova 33/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Out of depth when 16¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Aussie Girl in listed race at this course (6f, soft, 100/1) 29 days ago. Popped up at 50s on seasonal/handicap debut at Cork in September; no show in Listed since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (25/1 -39%) Sirjack Thomas |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Sirjack Thomas 25/1, Course winner. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when tenth of 19 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration down to his last winning mark. Won over 1m off this mark over 1m here in May; fourth over this trip on soft at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (25/1 +62%) Eastern Wind |
25/1(+62%) | (9) Eastern Wind 25/1, Ran poorly when ninth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Visor back on. Back on turf and better showing anticipated. Latest of three wins came off 74 in July; well held in recent outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 +33%) All Lies Ahead |
8/1(+33%) | (2) All Lies Ahead 8/1, 25/1, found it tougher up in grade when 8¼ lengths tenth of 15 to Curvature in listed race at Naas (8f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Can get involved. Trip and ground are right and narrow defeats off this mark twice in September. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Loingseoir |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Loingseoir 28/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Wasn't really seen to best effect when 5¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Rhythm King in handicap (10/3) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. Course winner over 1m at the backend of last two seasons; three seconds this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (25/1 +24%) Spanish Tenor |
25/1(+24%) | (1) Spanish Tenor 25/1, Latest win at Listowel in September. Went off too hard back up in trip when last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Front-runner's mark is still feasible and ground fine but heavy defeats last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (8/1 +0%) Nituna |
8/1(+0%) | (16) Nituna 8/1, Good ½-length second of 12 to Yuzu in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Expected to be bang there. Beaten half a length on similar ground over this trip last twice; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (8/1 +20%) Cavallo Pazzo |
8/1(+20%) | (3) Cavallo Pazzo 8/1, Latest win at Down Royal in September. 4/1, not in same form when 7¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Facethepuckout in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Favourite every time this term, winning at Down Royal; well behind Facethepuckout at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (16/1 -14%) Randall Poets Lass |
16/1(-14%) | (14) Randall Poets Lass 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, below form fifth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Bombed out when fav at Gowran; better than that and Keane booked for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (14/1 +13%) Rhythm King |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Rhythm King 14/1, Latest win at Gowran in October. Not in same form when ninth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy) 6 days ago. Heavier the better for 3yo who won over this trip at Gowran; tame effort over 1m since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (22) (25/1 -25%) Conversant |
25/1(-25%) | (22) Conversant 25/1, Course winner. Shaped well over further than usual when third of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 12/1) 6 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not one to write off. Loves it soft/heavy and recent efforts have been creditable; may be better suited to 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (18/1 -80%) Clear Quartz |
18/1(-80%) | (11) Clear Quartz 18/1, 20/1, stepped up on reappearance when second of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy) 6 days ago, running on. Won twice over 1m last term and comes into this a fresh horse after second at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (19) (20/1 +20%) Paris Review |
20/1(+20%) | (19) Paris Review 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, eleventh of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) over 5 months ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Placed over 1m at Gowran in April but off since following month; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (7) (25/1 -108%) Frazil |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Frazil 25/1, Thrice-raced winner. 14/1, possibly found the race coming too soon when 12¾ lengths last of 8 to Mutasarref in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Well bred 4yo won 1m Naas maiden last month after layoff; outclassed at Listed level since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (18) (12/1 -71%) Yuzu |
12/1(-71%) | (18) Yuzu 12/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 9/2) 2 weeks ago by ½ length from Nituna, well positioned. Could kick on now up and running. Off the mark under this rider when beating Nituna over this trip at Leopardstown (heavy). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (4) (16/1 -60%) Facethepuckout |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Facethepuckout 16/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 7/1) 22 days ago, soon clear. Picked up back-to-back wins last year and it would be unwise to rule out a repeat. Back to winning ways with ready success at Naas and 8lb rise may not stop him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (17) (66/1 +0%) Trumble |
66/1(+0%) | (17) Trumble 66/1, Offered little on first outing since leaving David Loughnane after 11 months off when last of 22 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 33/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Four AW wins when trained in Britain but last at Navan on last month's yard/seasonal bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (12) (100/1 -100%) Takeachancejimmy |
100/1(-100%) | (12) Takeachancejimmy 100/1, Course winner. Last of 21 in maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 200/1) when last seen 10 months ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last outing. Seven-time winner but not seen since hurdling last Christmas and likely better for the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (6) (66/1 -136%) Signora Bellissima |
66/1(-136%) | (6) Signora Bellissima 66/1, Latest win at Navan in August. Not in same form when last of 10 in handicap (16/1) there (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Prominent racer has won over 1m/1m2f this season; ground okay but opposable over this trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Keithen Kennedy got a good tune of Yuzu to hold off a slightly unfortunate Nituna at Leopardstown two weeks ago. Both should be in the mix, while Facethepuckout will have his supporters following an emphatic Naas triumph. The in-form Blue Peak had Zephron a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Galway last week, but a chance is taken on the potential of FRAZIL. The fact Jim Bolger pitched him into a Listed contest on the back of a maiden victory surely suggests that a mark of 79 should be well within range.
Cases can be made for a number of these but the tentative vote goes to NITUNA, who is yet to get her head in front but is clearly in top form having hit the crossbar twice last month. Facethepuckout bagged his fifth career win at Naas just over 3 weeks ago, and having picked up back-to-back wins around this time last year, he's put forward as the main danger, with Sirjack Thomas and Yuzu another couple worthy of a mention.
Having done the Hamlet cigar on it in the past, there's an added risk in going for CLEAR QUARTZ but he's fresh and will love the ground

1st (4) (14/1 -40%) Mickey The Steel |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Mickey The Steel 14/1, 11/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 39 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Transcendental, comfortably. Enters calculations. Beat Transcendental at Bellewstown; up 7lb for that and another good apprentice rides. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (15/2 +53%) Transcendental |
15/2(+53%) | (12) Transcendental 15/2, Course winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths sixth of 19 to Greek Flower in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy, 18/1) 5 days ago. Beaten roughly 4 lengths in each of her last six outings; has to find a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (16/5 +29%) Stag Night |
16/5(+29%) | (3) Stag Night 16/5, Course winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (4/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Shortlist material. Had good track position when winning by nearly 5l at Naas; possibly favoured by draw again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/1 +0%) Two Stars |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Two Stars 10/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/1, won 15-runner maiden at Cork (6f, soft) in May, regaining the lead final 100 yds. Absent since but unlikely that will prove his limit now attentions switch to handicaps. Totally unexposed but been off six months since maiden win at Cork (6f, soft/heavy). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 +0%) Laugh A Minute |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Laugh A Minute 10/1, Useful sprinter who struck fast and late when gaining third C&D victory on penultimate start in September. Not at best in Coral Sprint Trophy at York on latest start but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to home soil. Last three wins have come over C&D; effective hold-up sprinter but stiff mark now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (11/2 +54%) Magical Vision |
11/2(+54%) | (9) Magical Vision 11/2, 11/4, below form 6½ lengths ninth of 19 to Greek Flower in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive. Three-time winner (5f/6f) on heavy; disappointing fav behind Greek Flower here on Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (10/1 +17%) Curraheen Princess |
10/1(+17%) | (10) Curraheen Princess 10/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 30 Flat runs. Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, 5¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Screen Siren in handicap at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Eight wins have all come over 5f; well held lately including behind Screen Siren at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (10/1 +0%) Rathbranchurch |
10/1(+0%) | (11) Rathbranchurch 10/1, 5/2, respectable 4¼ lengths second of 11 to Screen Siren in handicap at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Expected to go well again. Hardy 3yo third over C&D and second to Screen Siren at Navan since winning at latter venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (7/2 +42%) Greek Flower |
7/2(+42%) | (8) Greek Flower 7/2, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap (9/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy) 5 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Merits respect under a penalty in bid to land the hat-trick. Built on 5f Navan maiden win when beating 18 rivals over 6f here on Tuesday; 1lb well in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (40/1 -150%) Gordon Bennett |
40/1(-150%) | (5) Gordon Bennett 40/1, C&D winner. 10/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 85 days ago, slowly away and unable to land a blow. Others preferred. Rounded off last season with C&D victory off 90; nothing like that form this time around. |

11th (6) (33/1 -65%) Wave Machine |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Wave Machine 33/1, Course winner. Latest win at Down Royal in September. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 11/1) 32 days ago. More needed Birdcatcher winner this time last year; again relished heavy when winning at Down Royal. |

12th (14) (125/1 -213%) Billboa |
125/1(-213%) | (14) Billboa 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, below form 8¾ lengths seventh of 15 to Greek Flower in maiden at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Maiden was well behind Greek Flower when returning from layoff at Navan; 9lb wrong. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STAG NIGHT made light work of a competitive field at Naas last month and the son of Tagula was hit with a 12lb rise for that success, which considering the manner of that victory could prove a lenient move, so he can record a double. Screen Siren went in by just over four lengths at Navan last month and as long as she remains in that sort of form, she could get involved. Of the remainder, Greek Flower and Laugh A Minute appeal most in an open contest.
A host of in-form sorts in opposition with the vote in favour of STAG NIGHT. A facile winner at Naas on his latest outing 22 days ago, he's unexposed at the minimum trip, and with his rider's claim off-setting a large chunk of his rise in the weights, he can be expected to make his presence felt again. Screen Siren is a thriving mare and she's feared, as is the hat-trick seeking Greek Flower.
Several come here at the top of their game. That's not the case with MYMOMENTINTIME but his C&D third two starts back gives him a shout

11/4(+31%) | (14) Indigo Five 11/4, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Expected to be bang there. C&D winner on soft last time; up in grade but no weight on her back and may progress again. |

17/2(-6%) | (7) Simply Sideways 17/2, 5 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Tipperary in October. Bit below form 7¾ lengths ninth of 15 to Curvature in listed race (12/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 21 days ago, short of room over 1f out and one paced. No surprise to see him thereabouts. Four-time winner has been one of stable stars for Tim Doyle; no impact in Listed latest. |

7/2(+30%) | (8) San Aer 7/2, Course winner. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Galway (8.3f, heavy, 3/1) 6 days ago, plenty in hand. Handicapper has reacted but he's not dismissed in present groove. 9lb higher for smooth Galway victory on Monday but revised mark probably not beyond him. |

9/2(+44%) | (11) No More Porter 9/2, C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 22 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration. Almost always thereabouts including in better races but seems to have forgotten how to win. |

Drop to 1m may not suit ideally but he remains low-mileage. First run back at 1m and ground concerns too but there's no doubt he has potential. |

20/1(-43%) | (12) Excuzio Joe 20/1, 9/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Something to find on form. Ran well on yard debut after long layoff when second at Gowran but well beaten since. |

22/1(-57%) | (10) Arniemac 22/1, Promising sort. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event (5/4) at Laytown (7.2f) 54 days ago, possibly not at home on the track. Had looked progressive previously and this low-mileage sort remains open to improvement back on turf for new yard. Easily beat a horse now rated 82 in Killarney maiden and has a bit of form on soft ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A fiercely competitive handicap full of in-form options, possibly headed by the lightly-raced GREY LEADER, who has won three of his five starts and looks to remain on an upward curve. Simply Sideways struck under Wayne Hassett at Tipperary and then couldn't get competitive in a Naas Listed heat. She can go close with a clearer passage, while Flame Of Eire is also dropped in class and easy Galway winner San Aer is another to seriously consider.
INDIGO FIVE is less exposed than most and took a step forward when opening her account in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, travelling well and suited by coming off the strong pace. With further progress in the offing, she could be up to defying this revised mark. Arniemac is an interesting contender also on debut for Ross O'Sullivan, with Grey Leader and Simply Sideways another pair on the shortlist.
A smooth winner at Galway on Monday, SAN AER will again have conditions to suit and can follow up

Career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Chester (14.4f, good to soft, 17/2) 64 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Divine Jewel, responding well. Tongue strap back on. Definite player. Grand 9yo made all to beat four rivals in 1m6f Listed contest at Chester two months ago. |

7th (7) (14/1 +0%) Typewriter |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Typewriter 14/1, Useful filly. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, respectable eighth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell. Has work to do. British-trained visitor is lowest-rated of these; long time winless and hard to fancy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Shanroe recorded a game success in the Chester Stakes and must be respected as he goes in search of a hat-trick, while Jesse Evans has gone well in both the Irish and English Cesarewitch. Preference, however, is for FALCON EIGHT, who is 3lb clear on official ratings and can build on his runner-up effort in the Irish Cesarewitch, with no concerns regarding ground conditions. The talented Echoes In Rain should not be underestimated either.
The classy FALCON EIGHT arrives on the back of an excellent second in the Irish Cesarewitch and, if he can repeat that form he should be landing this. Echoes In Rain is an obvious threat and Shanroe is worthy of consideration on the back of a career-best effort.
Jesse Evans and Echoes In Rain are capable of big runs but the form book points towards FALCON EIGHT (nap).

Lines up here with good bit to prove. It's all gone pear-shaped since winning a 1m2f maiden here on her comeback. |

6th (4) (25/1 +0%) Prairie Dancer |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Prairie Dancer 25/1, Fairly useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 12/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Naas (16.1f, heavy) 21 days ago, well positioned.

9th (9) (11/2 +45%) Feathertop |
11/2(+45%) | (9) Feathertop 11/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 7/4) 19 days ago, leading on bridle 2f out and soon clear. Up in trip. Open to further improvement and testing conditions will hold no fears. Lots to find on the figures but only her fourth run when impressing in a recent maiden. |

10th (6) (25/1 +17%) Queen Of Seduction |
25/1(+17%) | (6) Queen Of Seduction 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy, 16/1) 19 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Ran away with a 1m4f handicap last time but this is a different test altogether. |

11th (2) (5/1 -122%) Hans Andersen |
5/1(-122%) | (2) Hans Andersen 5/1, Very useful Frankel colt who matched pick of his 2-y-o form when landing 2000 Guineas trial at Leopardstown in April. Similar form when eighth of 9 in French 2000 Guineas when last seen in May and he's of interesting upped markedly in trip back from 6 months off. Class act undoubtedly but back from an absence over a much longer distance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HANS ANDERSEN remains unexposed and the son of Frankel was an impressive winner of the 2,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in the spring. It would be no surprise if he were to prove a cut above Listed level on his return from a break. Proven mud-lover Helvic Dream remains well up to this level and, buoyed by a recent C&D win, is likely to throw down a strong challenge, while Feathertop is one to consider from an each-way perspective.
HANS ANDERSEN has been absent since finishing down the field in the French 2000 Guineas but his profile is a largely positive one and, interestingly upped markedly in trip back from 6 months off, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Helvic Dream and Sunchart head up the dangers, ahead of Chally Chute.
There have to be stamina doubts over Hans Andersen. Helvic Dream is solid but CHALLY CHUTE isn't to be underestimated.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
QUEENSTOWN sets a high standard judged on his runner-up effort behind the 101-rated Azazat at Leopardstown in May and a similar level of performance may suffice. How About No shaped with enough promise on his debut sixth at Navan last month to suggest that he could reverse form with Neptunes Staircase (second). The latter ran easily his best race to date on that occasion and Ger Lyons' inmate is likely to be in the mix too.
QUEENSTOWN was much better for debut when second in what has proved to be a useful maiden at Leopardstown in May and the son of Galileo sets a clear standard back from a break. Neptunes Staircase only just failed at Navan last time and is next best ahead of How About No, who offered something to work on in the same race.
A repeat of QUEENSTOWN's second at Leopardstown back in May would see him difficult to beat. Market confidence would be welcomed.

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.
