1st (7) (9/2 +18%) Sunriseontheboyne |
9/2(+18%) | (7) Sunriseontheboyne 9/2, Good second of 13 in nursery at Sligo (5.7f, soft, 9/2) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip, which may suit. Two solid nursery runs already, will stay and any ease in the ground will suit; 4lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 -87%) The Marty Party |
7/2(-87%) | (5) The Marty Party 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 80/1) 13 days ago. In good hands and strikes as the type to improve now handicapping. Money for him on debut when he ran okay on soft; quiet runs in decent 7f contests since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (Evs +100%) Yamal |
Evs(+100%) | (1) Yamal Evs, 17/2, sixth of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut (gelded) and well weighted on his debut form. Big shout. Ran well in pair of good maidens over 7f; didn't get home on first try at 1m; gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +9%) Zaraahmando |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Zaraahmando 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Tipperary (7.1f, soft, 50/1) 86 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Three quick runs in country maidens in May (money for him on second start); gelded since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/1 +46%) Shocker |
7/1(+46%) | (3) Shocker 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.9f, good, 8/1) 49 days ago. Blinkers reached for switched to a nursery. Outclassed at Royal Ascot but, either side of that, beaten less than a length in maidens. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
YAMAL may be worth siding with here on his handicap debut. The Dark Angel had two good runs on his first couple of outings in strong maidens and although it was a slightly disappointing effort last time at Leopardstown he was far from disgraced when sixth behind Green Impact. Judged on his first two runs he could be nicely treated off 80. King Thistle ran better than his finishing position suggests when mid-division on his handicap debut at Galway, having had to overcome traffic problems. He could give young Patrick McGettigan a good spin here. Shocker wasn't beaten far when fourth in a Bellewstown maiden last time and is another for the shortlist.
YAMAL's opening mark could be judged as lenient given how his debut performance worked out and having been gelded, he's fancied to get back on track. The Marty Party is expected to show more this time, the Sunriseontheboyne another to note up in trip.
For last year's winning trainer, THE MARTY PARTY has looked a handicap project and they'll be disappointed if he can't go close off 62

1st (3) (3/1 +80%) Monasterboice |
3/1(+80%) | (3) Monasterboice 3/1, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, driven out. Has good chance on form. Kept his existing mark after C&D maiden win, further progress feasible after Galway win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/4 +0%) Four Blondes |
11/4(+0%) | (4) Four Blondes 11/4, Fairly useful filly. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Fairyhouse in July. 7/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 33 days ago. Fairyhouse maiden winner over 7f, dropped 2lb following Curragh fourth on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/2 -200%) Democracy |
15/2(-200%) | (1) Democracy 15/2, Fairly useful colt. Fourth of 5 in minor event (13/2) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go well. Useful sort but yet to justify his mark, needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -175%) Artful Approach |
11/2(-175%) | (5) Artful Approach 11/2, Fairly useful gelding. Winner at Galway in July. 15/2, good third of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft) 19 days ago. Two good Galway performances, has improved since fifth to Four Blondes in a C&D maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/4 +0%) Il Pellegrino |
11/4(+0%) | (6) Il Pellegrino 11/4, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Limerick in June. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 43 days ago. Beat Monasterboice at Limerick, got upset in stalls when fifth in a Leopardstown handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 +21%) Action Plan |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Action Plan 11/1, Fairly useful gelding. Winner at Gowran in April. 25/1, respectable 8¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Monasterboice in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beaten around 8l behind the 9lb-receiving Monasterboice at Galway, level terms now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
IL PELLEGRINO may be capable of a bit better on his second outing in handicap company. The No Nay Never colt reportedly got upset in the stalls before finishing fifth at Leopardstown last month. He had beaten one of today's rivals, Monasterboice, in a Limerick maiden previously and that rival has won twice since. Il Pellegrino gets weight from Noel Meade's runner now. Monasterboice won his maiden over course and distance and should be a big player again. Top-weight Democracy is tried in cheekpieces now and is another to add to the shortlist, as he has been knocking on the door recently.
Galway winner MONASTERBOICE has been a different proposition since front-running tactics have been employed and is taken to go in again. Aidan O'Brien's Democracy is feared most ahead of Jack Davison's Artful Approach, another who was in good form at the Galway Festival.
Having beaten dual subsequent winner Monasterboice in a Limerick maiden, IL PELLEGRINO may bounce back from a Leopardstown lapse

Kayhana |
(3) (16/1 -60%)16/1(-60%) | (3) Kayhana 16/1, Fairly useful filly. Respectable 4¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Raknah in listed race (11/1) at Galway (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell so she's one to consider. Split Concluding Call and Curvature when sixth at Galway, not suited by race conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (9/4 +0%) One Look |
9/4(+0%) | (8) One Look 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable ¾-length second of 8 to Wingspan in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good, 5/1) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Goffs Million winner, two disappointing runs before a more reassuring effort at Gowran. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (6/1 -50%) Princess Child |
6/1(-50%) | (9) Princess Child 6/1, Useful filly. 10/1, neck second of 12 to Raknah in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. A rare Irish import from Spain, comes into the reckoning based on excellent Galway second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 -67%) Mexicali Rose |
15/2(-67%) | (4) Mexicali Rose 15/2, Useful filly. Latest win at Galway in July. 6 lengths tenth of 12 to Raknah in listed race (5/1) at Galway (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Still enters calculations. Won valuable Galway festival handicap, Listed attempt at same venue may have come too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 +71%) Curvature |
5/1(+71%) | (2) Curvature 5/1, Useful filly. 8/1, respectable 4¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Raknah in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Won in this grade last season, needs to step up from runs at Leopardstown and Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (11/1 +8%) Without Words |
11/1(+8%) | (10) Without Words 11/1, Useful filly. 11¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Diego Velazquez in Meld Stakes at Leopardstown (9f, good, 22/1) 36 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. The lowest-rated of four Joseph O'Brien runners, plenty to prove in the circumstances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/1 +53%) Military |
7/1(+53%) | (7) Military 7/1, Useful colt. 6¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Super Sox in listed race (12/1) at Cork (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Yard having good spell. Blinkers back on. Something to find on form. Winner and Group 3-placed at two, has failed to make a significant impact this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 -27%) Star Galaxy |
14/1(-27%) | (6) Star Galaxy 14/1, Fairly useful filly. 25/1, respectable 5 lengths fifth of 9 to Greenfinch in listed race at this course (8.2f, good) 37 days ago. No forlorn hope. Yet to reach the first three in a stakes races but has performed to a decent standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (28/1 -12%) Concluding Call |
28/1(-12%) | (1) Concluding Call 28/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Navan in May. 50/1, creditable 4 lengths fifth of 12 to Raknah in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. More needed here though. Ran with credit when 50-1 for a Listed race at Galway, again faces a huge task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (9/1 -50%) Oujda |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Oujda 9/1, Useful filly. Won 6-runner minor event at La Teste (7f, good, 24/10) 57 days ago. First run for yard after leaving M. Baratti and well in the mix. Former French-trained filly, starts in Ireland with a rating that puts her in the mix. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ONE LOOK ran much better last time when chasing home Wingspan at Gowran Park and can strike at this level now. The Gleneagles filly looked like a star in the making when taking the Goffs Million in stunning style on her debut last year. It hasn't quite worked out this term but she finished off strongly in Listed company last time and can get back in the winner's enclosure now. French import Oujda is an interesting contender for Johnny Murtagh. The Sioux Nation filly won four times in her native land and was placed at this level. Joseph O'Brien saddles three and it's interesting that Dylan Browne McMonagle sides with Without Words.
ONE LOOK holds the edge on form so is fancied to go one better than when a good second at Gowran in similar company last time out. Oujda also has the form to play a big part now starting out with Johnny Murtagh, while Curvature and Mexicali Rose also need factoring into this open listed event.
Last year's impressive Goffs Million winner ONE LOOK got her career back on track with last week's Gowran second and may go one better

1st (15) (14/1 +30%) Spring Collection |
14/1(+30%) | (15) Spring Collection 14/1, Blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in handicap at Cork (8.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 7 days ago. Recorded three consecutive fourth placings before a below-par display at Cork last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (17/2 -143%) Seas And Oceans |
17/2(-143%) | (16) Seas And Oceans 17/2, Good ¾-length second of 12 to Rock Etoile in handicap (12/1) at Dundalk (8f) 8 days ago. Player if getting a run. RESERVE. First reserve; has run over a range of trips, this looks almost ideal after Dundalk second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 +0%) Campari Soda |
9/1(+0%) | (6) Campari Soda 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 7 days ago. Yard in good form. Visor on 1st time. Failed to improve in first-time blinkers on recent handicap debut, visored now instead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (10/1 +0%) Thrifty Of Digby |
10/1(+0%) | (13) Thrifty Of Digby 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good, 12/1) 50 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Did not seem to handle the track at Bellewstown, decent chance on her Limerick third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (17/2 -31%) Skontonovski |
17/2(-31%) | (12) Skontonovski 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in July. 7/1, respectable third of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Heavily-raced winner of nine races, stayed on well over 7f at Leopardstown on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/2 +18%) Rock Etoile |
9/2(+18%) | (9) Rock Etoile 9/2, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 11/2) 8 days ago by ¾ length from Seas And Oceans, driven out. Should remain competitive up 2 lb. Took advantage of a declining mark when winning at Dundalk last week, only 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (16/1 -60%) Feature This |
16/1(-60%) | (8) Feature This 16/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in May. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 15/2) 42 days ago, never nearer. Stable is in excellent form at the moment, not a bad run at Dundalk on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (25/1 +38%) Lady Montse |
25/1(+38%) | (14) Lady Montse 25/1, First run since leaving Adrian Murray when eleventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Was entitled to need her comeback run at Naas but very hard to make a case for her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (17/2 -240%) Church Mountain |
17/2(-240%) | (5) Church Mountain 17/2, C&D winner. Good fourth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Shortlist material. Four-time winner, coming down in the ratings, fair fourth over 7f at Naas last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (10/1 +41%) Starting Monday |
10/1(+41%) | (3) Starting Monday 10/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Cork (8f, good). Off 105 days. Best form has been on heavy ground, started the season brightly with Leopardstown second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (12/1 -9%) Chimeric |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Chimeric 12/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago. Claims on his course second prior to that. Merits consideration. Winner and twice placed at this venue including over a longer trip on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (12/1 -33%) Super Over |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Super Over 12/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. 18/1, fifteenth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy). Off 125 days. Significantly back up in trip. Every chance if back to best. Four wins on AW (7f/1m), yet to win on turf, others are more appealing on that basis. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (14/1 -56%) Mark's One |
14/1(-56%) | (11) Mark's One 14/1, 33/1, below form fifteenth of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Hard to fancy after running down the field the last twice, has managed two fourth placings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (12/1 -9%) Eastern Capital |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Eastern Capital 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, last of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 68 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Weak form in maidens, ran no sort of race when last of 16 at Gowran in his first handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CAMPARI SODA is tried with a visor now and there looks to be a race in her off this kind of mark. She got a little bump when staying on at Cork last time and makes just her second handicap start now having been eased a couple of pounds for that performance. Rock Etoile is only a couple of pounds higher than when winning at Dundalk eight days ago and is a previous course and distance winner. He could run well for Sam Coen on his first racecourse outing. Skontonovski ran a solid race when third at Leopardstown last time and could reach the frame again.
CHURCH MOUNTAIN shaped quite well in a Naas race last time that looks solid form so he might prove the answer to the first division of this 1m handicap. Skontonovski has remained in form since his Fairyhouse win in July and is second choice ahead of former C&D scorer Chimeric.
Runner-up in a heat of this race last year and also a C&D winner, ROCK ETOILE can get young Sam Coen off to the best possible start

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (9) (17/2 -240%) Nibras Rainbow |
17/2(-240%) | (9) Nibras Rainbow 17/2, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, creditable fourth of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago, running on. Merits consideration on the back of that eye-catching run. Showed signs of a return to form when dead-heating for fourth in a 28-runner Curragh event. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 -20%) Shoot To Kill |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Shoot To Kill 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm, 16/1) 15 days ago. Eight wins in Britain including five on AW, yet to win in Ireland, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Speckled Meadow |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Speckled Meadow 4/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. 7/1, good second of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. In top form at present so a bold bid looks assured. Some easing of the ground would help but has excellent chance based on Galway second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 -114%) Asisaid |
15/2(-114%) | (6) Asisaid 15/2, 9/2, below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on. Suited by plenty of cut in the ground, slow starts have proved detrimental this term. |

5th (1) (7/2 +36%) Bear Profit |
7/2(+36%) | (1) Bear Profit 7/2, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft, 3/1) 32 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Drops in class. Twice a beaten favourite since Leopardstown win in June, perhaps a little risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (12/1 -20%) Saith Seren |
12/1(-20%) | (11) Saith Seren 12/1, Good fifth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Galway (8.3f, soft) 19 days ago. Modest form in maidens, encouraging start to life in handicaps when fifth at Galway. |

7th (16) (11/1 +67%) Private Officer |
11/1(+67%) | (16) Private Officer 11/1, Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap (25/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. RESERVE. Reserve, placed twice in small-field handicaps, needs to improve in first-time cheekpieces. |

20/1(+0%) | (4) Wrist Art 20/1, Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 16/1) 43 days ago. Should strip fitter with that under his belt. Won twice last autumn when the stable was in flying form, posed no threat on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (22/1 +21%) Relevant Range |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Relevant Range 22/1, Eleven runs since sole win in 2023. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Listowel (8f, good, 17/2) 82 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Weak form over hurdles before finishing down the field on return to Flat action in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (12/1 -9%) Purring Along |
12/1(-9%) | (13) Purring Along 12/1, Creditable third of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Both 2023 wins were over 7f on soft, favourite when third over 1m at Naas last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (20/1 +0%) Well Suited |
20/1(+0%) | (15) Well Suited 20/1, Three wins from 63 Flat runs. Forty four runs since last win in 2021. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (50/1) at Cork (8.9f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Three AW wins, 0-31 record on turf is off-putting, down the field at Cork on latest. |

8/1(-60%) | (8) Blue Poppy 8/1, 11/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and surely has more to come. Makes handicap debut, dam was useful and well-related, has potential for improvement. |

8/1(-14%) | (14) Swiss Army Officer 8/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.2f, good) 37 days ago. Hard to win with, unplaced on both outings since third over 7f at Tipperary in May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPECKLED MEADOW has been knocking on the door and may be able to bag another win here. The Footstepsinthesand mare chased home Clear Quartz in a competitive contest at Galway on her last outing and off just a pound higher mark she is capable of winning a race of this standard. Ger O'Leary has his string in fine form and Bear Profit has to be respected under top-weight. The Profitable gelding won at Leopardstown in June and has run a couple of solid races since. Purring Along was well backed when third behind easy winner Selective Power at Naas last time and she's another to consider.
Given her pedigree and connections, BLUE POPPY surely has a bigger effort in her and now she goes handicapping with headgear on, a leap forward may well be forthcoming. Speckled Meadow is the solid option, with Asisaid also of some interest.
Runner-up at the Galway festival, SPECKLED MEADOW can add to the win achieved early in the season at Leopardstown.

9/1(+25%) | (4) Vera Verto 9/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (14f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark. Likeable mare won three times in handicaps last term; not at her best this term. |

9/2(-29%) | (5) Lot Of Joy 9/2, Below form ninth of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, good to soft, 4/1) 25 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Fair to say she's been an under-achiever; well held at Galway, Curragh third was good run. |

4th (12) (14/1 -56%) Zoffanien |
14/1(-56%) | (12) Zoffanien 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. First run since leaving Denis Hogan when good third of 17 in handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 23 days ago, never nearer. Can make his presence felt. Useful hurdler was third in 2m Flat h'cap at Galway; that was a good start for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (5/1 +62%) Man O Work |
5/1(+62%) | (11) Man O Work 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Galway (16f, soft) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut and much respected. Very capable handicap hurdler was second in 1m4f maiden in May; respected on handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (13/2 -44%) Intellotto |
13/2(-44%) | (6) Intellotto 13/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Sligo in May. Ninth of 11 in handicap (6/4) at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Smart hurdler was just behind Lot Of Joy over 1m4f at the Curragh; poor run on AW since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 +17%) La Dame Blanche |
10/1(+17%) | (7) La Dame Blanche 10/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Fair fourth of 7 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, soft, 4/1) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can give a good account. Has had a good summer with victories over 1m4f/1m5f; might be high enough in ratings now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/2 +10%) Taipan |
9/2(+10%) | (2) Taipan 9/2, C&D winner who made light of a 14-month absence when landing 7-runner minor event at Galway (14.1f, soft) 21 days ago, always holding on. Player back in handicap company. C&D winner has been doing well in conditions events; may be vulnerable off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (17/2 +39%) Golden Twilight |
17/2(+39%) | (9) Golden Twilight 17/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 8 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Not been in great form since joining this yard; four of five wins on AW but handles turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (16/1 +20%) Cruden |
16/1(+20%) | (13) Cruden 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft, 11/1) 25 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Limerick maiden winner ran poorly on handicap debut; gelded since and cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (22/1 +56%) Dubai Leader |
22/1(+56%) | (8) Dubai Leader 22/1, 80/1, eighteenth of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others are preferred. Useful in Britain where won three; Leopardstown non-h'cap fifth was ok, tailed off since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (22/1 -57%) The Very Man |
22/1(-57%) | (3) The Very Man 22/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at this course (22.8f, good) 35 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Useful on the Flat so can't be discounted. Capable dual-purpose veteran has been below-par since good hurdles run in the spring. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAN O WORK is interesting here on his first start in handicap company on the Flat. The Workforce gelding didn't run too badly when staying on in a competitive contest over timber at Galway on his last outing and had run well in a Tipperary maiden on the level back in May. He doesn't look badly treated off a mark of 79 now. Lot of Joy weakened tamely enough when favourite for the big amateur handicap at Galway but had run really well at the Curragh previously and has to be respected. The admirable Taipan won well on his return at Ballybrit but may be vulnerable to a better handicapped rival.
TAIPAN resumed in style from a long absence when going in at Galway and looks the way to go returned to handicap company here. La Dame Blanche could emerge as the main danger in her bid for a third win win of 2024 ahead of handicap debutant Man O Work.
Having been gelded since disappointing on h'cap debut at Galway, a chance is taken with CRUDEN who has always been held in high regard

1st (1) (9/4 -200%) Jabbar |
9/4(-200%) | (1) Jabbar 9/4, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 3/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (13f, good) 35 days ago, left with too much to do. Ought to be thereabouts. Kept on well over a furlong shorter last time so should get the trip, jockey a big plus. |

2nd (11) (5/1 +71%) Say It So |
5/1(+71%) | (11) Say It So 5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, won 16-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 6/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap back on and very much one to consider. Quirky sort needs plenty of kidding and got fine ride when winning over hurdles at Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +33%) Polemon |
6/1(+33%) | (5) Polemon 6/1, First run since leaving Archie Watson when bagging 14-runner handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 9 days ago, just holding on. Needs considering. Immediate return for new connections in 9.5f Gowran handicap nine days ago; trip a concern. |

4th (9) (5/2 +44%) Elsa's Pride |
5/2(+44%) | (9) Elsa's Pride 5/2, Good third of 12 in handicap at this course (11.5f, good, 11/2) 37 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Merits serious consideration now stepping up in trip. Consistent in defeat since winning at a big price over 1m4f last term; tongue-tie may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 +60%) Simpson's Paradox |
10/1(+60%) | (7) Simpson's Paradox 10/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft, 16/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Something to find on form. Held on first two starts for yard, over 1m2f last time; hasn't gone further than that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/2 +50%) Robbies Rock |
7/2(+50%) | (8) Robbies Rock 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Third of 11 in juvenile hurdle at this course (17f, good, 5/6) on NH debut 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. More needed. Second to fair type in 1m2f maiden at Down Royal; decent third on hurdling debut here. |

CHUTZPAL was an easy winner over course and distance last month and can follow up despite a 12lb hike for that victory. The Markaz gelding was making his second outing for Henry de Bromhead then and there may be more to come. Robin Donaghue-Leahy claims 7lb off him now to offset some of that rise. Stariam has been knocking on the door in maiden company and looks on a fair mark now in handicaps. She should run a big race again. Jabbar has been in good form and looks another for the shortlist, hailing from the in-form Ger O'Leary yard.
This is wide open but ELSA'S PRIDE rates just the pick of these weights so is fancied to bag a first win of the season at the chief expense of Empress Alma, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Galway last time. In-form trio Polemon, Stariam and Say It So also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
Having come home well over 1m5f last time in a race that is working out well, JABBAR should get the trip and might have another in him

1st (4) (9/2 -29%) Seddon |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Seddon 9/2, Once-raced maiden on Flat. Smart winner at 21f in chases. Pulled up in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 67 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Struggling for form over jumps; ran respectably when fourth of five in last year's renewal. |

2nd (1) (9/4 -50%) Brogue |
9/4(-50%) | (1) Brogue 9/4, Useful gelding. 15/2, respectable fifth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy). Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Missed two years before showing good form last term; comes back from 10-month layoff. |

3rd (2) (4/5 -10%) Como Park |
4/5(-10%) | (2) Como Park 4/5, Useful gelding. 11/2, won 13-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24.5f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). Sets a high standard. Been getting the hang of hurdling, will stay and gets a handy bit of weight from Brogue. |

4th (3) (125/1 -89%) Rio Doce |
125/1(-89%) | (3) Rio Doce 125/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in maiden at Roscommon (12.2f, heavy, 125/1) 3 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest form in three starts, including on return from a year off at Roscommon on Tuesday. |

5th (5) (100/1 -100%) Supreme Law |
100/1(-100%) | (5) Supreme Law 100/1, Modest gelding. Eleventh of 12 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) on NH debut. Off 13 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith. Modest owner-ridden gelding starts off for new yard after 13 months off; can't be fancied. |

COMO PARK comes here in winning form and that looks a big plus. The Camelot gelding battled to get up close home at Bellewstown early last month after some solid runs over hurdles. It remains to be seen if he's up to his old Flat mark of 90 but this looks like a nice opportunity. Seddon ran well in this last year, when fourth to Almuhit, but was pulled up when last seen over fences in Kilbeggan. Brogue hasn't been seen since last October but had some solid handicap form last year and has to be respected despite having to give weight to his rivals.
COMO PARK was useful on the Flat prior to going jumping and, fit from a Bellewstown hurdle win last month, is taken to make a successful return to the level. Dermot Weld's Brogue is the likely danger.
Fit from hurdling, a discipline at which he's improving, COMO PARK is well in at the weights in relation to sole danger Brogue

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.
