---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (1.5/1 -50%) Nor Time Nor Tide |
1.5/1(-50%) | (2) Nor Time Nor Tide 1.5/1, Displayed plenty of ability when second behind an above-average type on debut over C&D in July. Shade disappointing when third at Dundalk (1m) since but well worth another chance now handicapping from handy opening mark. Fine C&D 3rd but didn't improve when a beaten favourite at Dundalk since; needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +0%) Basilah Bear |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Basilah Bear 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 26 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Makes handicap debut. Best of three runs was when fourth in a Roscommon maiden; of interest on nursery bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Enthralling |
4.5/1(+10%) | (1) Enthralling 4.5/1, Galileo filly. Showed much more than first time up when third in a Leopardstown maiden (1m) in July. Best not judged too harshly on subsequent Tipperary run (possibly amiss) and bounce back likely now handicapping. Was well below form on soft ground at Tipperary last time and has to rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (20/1 -150%) Expecto |
20/1(-150%) | (7) Expecto 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable eighth of 13 in maiden (40/1) at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft). Off 94 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has to improve with cheekpieces added as she is racing from 5lb out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 +44%) The Bear Trap |
5/1(+44%) | (4) The Bear Trap 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) 55 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Gelded since and type to do better now handicapping upped markedly in trip. Beaten 10l over 6f at the Curragh last time; gelded and raised in trip; market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 +36%) Francoise Ardy |
16/1(+36%) | (5) Francoise Ardy 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Galway (7f, soft, 125/1) 23 days ago, pushed along 3f out and making no impression. Progress required now handicapping. liGmpse of ability on her last two maiden starts; still needs to improve to score. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -79%) Carter Hall |
25/1(-79%) | (6) Carter Hall 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in nursery (22/1) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Difficult ask. Needs to improve for the addition of blinkers up in trip on better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (80/1 -142%) Time'll Tell |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Time'll Tell 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 9 in nursery at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Racing from 12lb out of the handicap; blinkers need to work in a major way. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
NOR TIME NOR TIDE was well held by the winners of his two maiden runs but has nonetheless shown capable form and drops in grade on handicap debut. Well-bred, he ran with promise behind a subsequently Listed-placed winner over today's course and distance in July and while well held at Dundalk subsequently, met two smart types. His two Group 2 entries are fanciful at this point but should better his 77 rating, under a 7lb claimer. Enthralling's Leopardstown third-placing run in July was a fine effort and while proven on easy ground, was too keen when fading tamely at Tipperary recently. Basilah Bear was well held when finishing third at Gowran recently while The Bear Trap has been gelded since his most recent maiden run in June.
NOR TIME NOR TIDE was a shade underwhelming at Dundalk 9 days ago but the form of his C&D debut second previously suggests an opening mark of 77 could well prove lenient and he gets the nod to make a winning nursery debut with potential for better still firmly intact. The Bear Trap now handicapping/having been gelded is feared back from 55 days off, with Enthralling another to note.
If the ground doesn't deteriorate then BASILAH BEAR has a solid chance of getting off the mark.

1st (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Space Age |
3.5/1(+42%) | (3) Space Age 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) 13 days ago by 3½ lengths from Helter Skelter, kept up to work. Could do better again. Beat stablemate Helter Skelter in a Tipperary maiden; yard does well at this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +13%) Sandy Creek |
1.75/1(+13%) | (1) Sandy Creek 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f, 11/10) 43 days ago, kept up to work. Expected to be thereabouts again back on turf. Got off the mark at Dundalk last month over this trip; could still be improving; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 -120%) Grey Leader |
5.5/1(-120%) | (2) Grey Leader 5.5/1, El Kabeir gelding who is going the right way, making it 2 wins from 3 starts despite still looking a little rough around the edges in a Listowel minor event (1m) back in June, leading final 50 yds. Absent since but of interest again with prospect of more to come. The form of his Listowel win hasn't really stood up since and he likely needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 -60%) Livio Milo |
4/1(-60%) | (5) Livio Milo 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. 5/2, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at Galway (7f, soft) 23 days ago, always holding on. Trainer going well and expected to feature once more. Off the mark at Galway last time over 7f; stays this trip too and is ground versatile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 +0%) Kalikapour |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Kalikapour 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 20/1) 74 days ago, finding little. Clearly not 100% on that occasion and no surprise to see a better showing. Down in trip. Was beaten a long way over 1m2f last time in cheekpieces; needs best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +11%) Helter Skelter |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Helter Skelter 8/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, 3½ lengths second of 9 to Space Age in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) on debut 13 days ago, running green but finding the penny dropping late on. Open to improvement. Behind his re-opposing stablemate Space Age on debut; should have improved for that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LIVIO MILO won on his eighth maiden attempt at the Galway festival and is suited by easy ground and returning to this distance. He bumped into capable types in maidens and at Limerick in June conceded 5lb to the now 91-rated winner. He had the run-of-the-race to win at Galway but can be relied upon. Sandy Creek mightn't want soft ground but won well at Dundalk and has sound claims despite having top weight. Grey Leader progressed well earlier this season and while suited by a mile, hasn't run since June and faces race-fit rivals. Space Age beat stablemate Helter Skelter to win an ordinary Tipperary maiden and both are now 7lb-claimer ridden, with inexperienced Helter Skelter being 6lb better off. However Space Age was beaten 5.5 lengths by the selection last October and is now 5lb better off, inclusive of jockey claims. Kalikapour has been well held in two handicaps this summer.
GREY LEADER has been absent since June, yet he again looked a good prospect when making it 2 wins from 3 starts at Listowel on that occasion and he shades the vote with further progress distinctly possible. Livio Milo and Sandy Creek head up the dangers, whilst Space Age can't be discounted either in a competitive race of its type.
The topweight SANDY CREEK (nap) makes most appeal, having impressed with how she won her maiden at Dundalk last time.

1st (6) (5/1 -11%) Salt Lake City |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Salt Lake City 5/1, Useful colt who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when midfield in Group 2 Minstrel Stakes in July, unsuited by drop in trip. Never figured in big-field Galway handicap thereafter and no surprise to see him bounce back. Probably didn't handle the track at Galway last time; a chance if back to his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Didn'thavemuchtodo |
4.5/1(+10%) | (3) Didn'thavemuchtodo 4.5/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Respectable 4½ lengths fourth of 14 to Unless in listed race (13/2) at the Curragh (10f, good) 11 days ago, better placed than most. Consistency hard to knock and she's likely to give another good account. C&D winner has been placed at this level a few times; might find this trip sharp now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/1 -57%) Howyoulikethat |
11/1(-57%) | (2) Howyoulikethat 11/1, Useful C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Respectable 5¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Lord Massusus in Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good, 10/1) 7 days ago. C&D winner; ran well enough in a Leopardstown Group 3 last week; needs to find a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/1 +60%) Pink Sorrel |
10/1(+60%) | (8) Pink Sorrel 10/1, Off the mark in maiden at the Curragh (1m) in July. 7/2, creditable third of 8 in minor event at Cork (8f, good) 27 days ago. Yard in good form but this demands another jolt of progress if she's to figure. Solid run in a Cork conditions race but needs to find lots of improvement to take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Cosmic Vega |
3.5/1(+22%) | (1) Cosmic Vega 3.5/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Naas in May. Below form 10 lengths third of 7 to Clever And Cool in listed race at Cork (7f, heavy, 7/1) 6 days ago. Bounce back rates distinctly possible and no surprise to see him thereabouts. C&D winner; was below his best on very testing ground at Cork last week; back out quickly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/1 +29%) Giladah |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Giladah 5/1, Useful filly. Respectable 8¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Jackie Oh in Gr 3 (12/1) at Gowran (9f, soft) 26 days ago. Yard in good form. Has run well in defeat in Listed and Group 3 company at times this term; needs a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (7/1 -133%) Comhra |
7/1(-133%) | (7) Comhra 7/1, Roscommon maiden winner at 2 yrs who readily surpassed previous form when finishing fine third behind Tahiyra in Irish 1000 Guineas back in May. Subsequent runs in Pretty Polly/Irish Oaks have been well below par but she's a big player on pick of form back from 33 days off. Irish 1000 Guineas 3rd; has had excuses the last twice and a big player if back to best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (8.5/1 -31%) Mister Mister |
8.5/1(-31%) | (5) Mister Mister 8.5/1, Useful colt. 7¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Birr Castle in listed race (65/10) at Compiegne (9.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Needs to leave that effort behind to figure. Third to Paddington in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes on return; been well below that since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SALT LAKE CITY finished 16th at Galway but met traffic. Fifth at Group-1 level as a juvenile, this year's season form was encouraging prior to becoming lit-up at Galway and is closely matched with Cosmic Vega on July Leopardstown form. Cosmic Vega, who carries a Listed-winners' penalty, was no match for the first two horses at Cork recently and while ground-versatile, would have a much stronger chance on soft ground. Comhra could start a conversation, having finished third in the 1,000 Guineas before a well-publicised Royal Ascot withdrawal due an urticaria rash. Her Guineas run was excellent but flopped twice in July although reverts to a favourable distance. However she, the selection and Cosmic Vega all finished within three or four lengths of Zarinsk on previous form, which hints that Comhra needs her best. Didn'thavemuchtodo's best form is over slightly further while fellow C&D winner Howyoulikethat has place claims following a Group 3 fourth-placing. Mister Mister finished seven-lengths sixth over 1m2f at Compiegne in July.
A leap of faith is required in supporting COMHRA on the back of a pair of lesser displays but a return to the form she displayed when third in the Irish 1000 Guineas gives her sound claims returned to calmer waters and she could just be worth chancing back down in trip. Fellow 3-y-o Salt Lake City and Cosmic Vega are others fancied to play lead roles.
If COMHRA was to come back to the level of her Irish 1000 Guineas third then she will take beating.

1st (12) (5.5/1 +39%) Great Blasket |
5.5/1(+39%) | (12) Great Blasket 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/1, career best when cosily winning 15-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 8 days ago. Enters calculations. Little in maidens last year but won on handicap debut/return at Gowran last week; up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 -100%) Rock Etoile |
6/1(-100%) | (3) Rock Etoile 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Unseated rider soon after the start in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 13/2) 4 days ago. Visor refitted and can bounce back. C&D winner in May was a fine 3rd over 7f at Gowran before unseating at Curragh; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6.5/1 -8%) Simply Sideways |
6.5/1(-8%) | (9) Simply Sideways 6.5/1, Latest win at Naas in July. Good third of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 9/2) 8 days ago, conceding first run. Expected to be bang there. Won at Naas over 1m before a fine run over nearly 1m2f at Gowran; can be a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (6/1 +0%) Drop The Dip |
6/1(+0%) | (13) Drop The Dip 6/1, Winner at Listowel in June. Creditable fifth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 13/2) 11 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won well at Listowel in June and decent efforts off this mark since; can be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 +52%) Relevant Range |
16/1(+52%) | (2) Relevant Range 16/1, Winner at Dundalk in March. Creditable eighth of 15 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 37 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Needs considering. Dundalk maiden winner wasn't beaten far over C&D last time; needs more off 2lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (100/1 -100%) Ha Long Bay |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Ha Long Bay 100/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Adrian Keatley when thirteenth of 15 in handicap at this course (11.2f, good) 36 days ago. Back down in trip. Given a chance by the handicapper. Two wins in the UK last year but then lost his form and no better for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 -60%) Darkened |
16/1(-60%) | (6) Darkened 16/1, Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 12 in claimer at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft, 9/2) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Dual-purpose sort was 3rd over C&D in July but not as good since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 +8%) Dazzling Spirit |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Dazzling Spirit 11/1, C&D winner. Fair eighth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Solid form claims. Hit form last autumn, winning thrice including over C&D; approaching a winning mark again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -83%) Allo Arry |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Allo Arry 22/1, Solid third of 15 to Great Blasket in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 50/1) 8 days ago. In the mix. Best run for this yard when 3rd at Gowran last time over 7f; longer trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (6.5/1 -8%) Status Green |
6.5/1(-8%) | (11) Status Green 6.5/1, 5/2, good third of 8 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should have more to offer. Player. Decent runs in defeat last twice, including over C&D; needs a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (50/1 +0%) Kodihill |
50/1(+0%) | (15) Kodihill 50/1, Very good second of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 125/1) 8 days ago, well drawn. Tongue strap back on. Merits consideration. Just denied over 7f at Gowran last time when 125/1; up 2lb and a chance but tough draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (12/1 +33%) Fastman |
12/1(+33%) | (1) Fastman 12/1, 7/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. An infrequent winner but often runs well; capable of going close off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (20/1 -67%) Night Moon |
20/1(-67%) | (14) Night Moon 20/1, Good second of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy, 8/11) 16 days ago. One for the shortlist. Good runs over 1m3f here and 1m2f at Ffos Las; might find this a bit sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Rockbury Lad |
5.5/1(+0%) | (8) Rockbury Lad 5.5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 7/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 7 days ago. Stable in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Maiden has run well a number of times; good runs on consecutive days last week; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (7) (50/1 -52%) Golden Warrior |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Golden Warrior 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Only fourteenth of 15 to Great Blasket in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 20/1) 8 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Is dropping down the handicap but was still poor last time and others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DROP THE DIP landed a gamble in June, has twice run well since with today's rider now claiming 7lb. Soft ground might be a concern but a reproduction of either of her last three runs would give her every chance and reverting to a mile will suit. Great Blasket won on 283-days-reappearance on handicap debut eight days ago (Allo Arry was third) and while 6lb higher, is also now ridden by a 7lb claimer. He can continue to progress and steps up a furlong. Status Green has been running well while Night Moon has course form but drops markedly in distance. Kodihill is another three-year-old skulking at the bottom of the weights and showed improved form at Gowran (Rock Etoile finished fourth) but has a wide draw. Consistent Simply Sideways likes a mile while Dazzling Spirit has been running over seven but is a previous C&D winner. Rockbury Lad runs in first-time blinkers.
Plenty are in with a shout. SIMPLY SIDEWAYS shaped well when third at Gowran last time having conceded first run so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways off an unchanged mark. Status Green is feared most on the back of his good Ballinrobe third with few miles still on the clock too. Gowran-scorer Great Blasket and C&D winner Dazzling Spirit also need factoring into a competitve handicap.
Having run well in defeat on consecutive days last week (hampered second time) ROCKBURY LAD could make amends with blinkers.

1st (7) (4/1 -45%) Ano Manna |
4/1(-45%) | (7) Ano Manna 4/1, Opened account over C&D last month and improved on that form when good third of 23 in handicap (15/2) at the Curragh (7f, good) 11 days ago. Shortlisted. C&D winner who coped well with a 9lb rise when third at the Curragh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 -45%) Skontonovski |
4/1(-45%) | (6) Skontonovski 4/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 5/1) 9 days ago, well on top finish. 2 lb lower, back on turf, and holds obvious claims. Recent AW winner; better strike-rate on that surface but he's capable on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (16/1 +68%) Well Suited |
16/1(+68%) | (15) Well Suited 16/1, Thirty five runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this course (8.2f, good) 36 days ago. Visor back on. Others more appealing. Second at Listowel in June but all wins have come on the AW and he's 0-27 on grass. |

10/1(+75%) | (11) Danesfort 10/1, Eighth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 8 days ago. Work to do. Latest handicap run at Gowran was a step back in the right direction; down another 4lb. |

5th (1) (10/1 -25%) Run The Jewels |
10/1(-25%) | (1) Run The Jewels 10/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Limerick (7f, good) 61 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Claims on best form. Should come on for a reasonable effort on his seasonal bow at Limerick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (25/1 -25%) Deuteronomy |
25/1(-25%) | (16) Deuteronomy 25/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 7 days ago, never nearer. Blinkers on 1st time. Still looking for first success. RESERVE. Reserve; no wins in 13 and has never made the frame; tries blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (8/1 +68%) Pink Socks |
8/1(+68%) | (14) Pink Socks 8/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at this course (8.2f, good) 36 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Twice ran well in 1m handicaps during June but has dropped her guard of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (8/1 +20%) Portmagee |
8/1(+20%) | (10) Portmagee 8/1, Back to best form when fourth of 17 in handicap (28/1) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. 1 lb lower now and merits consideration. Still early days and didn't run too badly when fourth in a 1m+ handicap at Galway. |

9th (4) (10/1 +0%) Ms Eagleton |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Ms Eagleton 10/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago. Others preferred. Has got herself well handicapped for a reason and needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (12/1 -33%) Sir John Monash |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Sir John Monash 12/1, 17/2, sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Work to do. Below par last twice but now tongue-tied and he went close three runs back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (25/1 -178%) Qaabil |
25/1(-178%) | (12) Qaabil 25/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 11/1) 8 days ago. Others look better treated. May have needed it at Gowran after 152 days away but strike-rate of 1-30 reduces appeal. |

12th (13) (40/1 +0%) Talking Tough |
40/1(+0%) | (13) Talking Tough 40/1, Two wins from 59 Flat runs. Forty two runs since last win in 2020. Tenth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 8 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Record of 2-59 and best effort this season came when fifth in a claimer here. |

100/1(-100%) | (9) Cant Catch Camacho 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 80/1) 8 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Big price when down the field on last week's handicap debut at Gowran (7f, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (8.5/1 -21%) Chimeric |
8.5/1(-21%) | (3) Chimeric 8.5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win here in July. 18/1, last of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Might be on a tough mark now even if shrugging aside latest disappointment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (16/1 -60%) Together Aclaim |
16/1(-60%) | (8) Together Aclaim 16/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 11/1, respectable 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Bobby K in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 43 days ago. Each-way claims. Another decent run at Dundalk but best form has been on that surface; now blinkered. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHIMERIC was well held at a much higher level at Chepstow recently and being a July course-and-distance winner, he should run well. Skontonovski, a seven-time winner, is 6lb higher than when scoring at Dundalk recently but should run his usual race. He is a C&D winner, along with Ano Manna, a less-exposed three-year-old who ran well in a big-field Curragh handicap recently. Three-time winner Run The Jewels was slowly away when well held on his only run this year, while Qaabil's only win was over this distance on fast ground. Sir John Monash was well beaten at Galway but had previously shown form at this level.
SKONTONOVSKI had been given a chance by the handicapper and took advantage when returning to winning ways at Dundalk last week. Able to race off a 2 lb lower mark here, he makes fair appeal in his follow-up bid. Ano Manna and Portmagee head the list of dangers.
Ano Manna must go well but so might SIR JOHN MONASH, who ran a good first race for this yard and now goes in a tongue-tie.

1st (5) (2.5/1 +9%) Jesse Evans |
2.5/1(+9%) | (5) Jesse Evans 2.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 16/1, very good second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Returns to the Flat after another near miss in the Galway Hurdle; big player. |

2nd (2) (8/1 +20%) Grecian Slipper |
8/1(+20%) | (2) Grecian Slipper 8/1, 13/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (11.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Considered. Looks handicapped about right but hasn't had many chances over this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +56%) Marvelosa |
4/1(+56%) | (10) Marvelosa 4/1, Winner at Sligo in May. 8/1, good third of 9 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Can give a good account. Only won the once but continues to knock on the door and ran well last weekend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 -17%) Last Ammo |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Last Ammo 14/1, 40/1, career best when winning 19-runner handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Mon Coeur, suited by emphasis on stamina. Not ruled out. A stone higher than when beating Mon Coeur at Galway, so likely to need more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (7/1 -40%) Mr Escobar |
7/1(-40%) | (11) Mr Escobar 7/1, 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tailed-off thirteenth of 19 to Last Ammo in handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Still early days with Willie Mullins but hard to be confident about him at the minute. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Female Soldier |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Female Soldier 20/1, 11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 5 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Has gone 0-13 since her winning debut and has had some chances in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (2.75/1 +17%) Mon Coeur |
2.75/1(+17%) | (4) Mon Coeur 2.75/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Won 11-runner handicap (2/1) at Galway (11.8f, soft) 19 days ago, driven clear. Trainer going well. Player. Recent Galway winner over 1m4f; 10lb rise asks plenty of him in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (125/1 -89%) Caradoc |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Caradoc 125/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.1f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Useful in Britain but over shorter distances; below par for current yard thus far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 -33%) Mr Rango |
12/1(-33%) | (7) Mr Rango 12/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 31 days ago. One for the shortlist. Fair latest run over 1m4f but wins have been at 1m2f; others can see this out better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JESSE EVANS was touched off for the second time in a Galway Hurdle recently, is at his best on a sound surface and is suited by this flat distance. A winner at Leopardstown last month, he is consistent and should compete from his rating. Shanroe shoulders top weight but seems made for races over 1m6f on easy ground and should also challenge. Last Ammo defeated Mon Coeur to win at Galway but as the pair finished 13 lengths of the third, each was hit with respective 14lb and 10lb rises. Easy ground may have brought about improvement in Last Ammo while Mon Coeur made use of his preserved 80-rating to win at Galway three days later but now faces a tougher task. Mr Rango finished 1.5 lengths behind Last Ammon at Ballinrobe and while now 11lb better off, is exposed at this level. Grecian Slipper's best form is over shorter distances and has enough weight while Marvelosa isn't ahead of the handicapper. Mr Escobar went out alarmingly quickly at Galway.
JESSE EVANS arrives on the back of a very good Galway second so is fancied to go one better now at the chief expense of recent Galway scorers Mon Coeur and Shanroe who can chase home Noel Meade's 7-y-o in that order.
Plenty with chances in a competitive renewal. MARVELOSA continues to run well and will effectively carry only 8st 1lb.

1st (7) (18/1 +55%) Jake Peter |
18/1(+55%) | (7) Jake Peter 18/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2019. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 20/1) 44 days ago. Not much to shout about in seven starts since returning from a lengthy break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/1 +17%) Chatterbox |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Chatterbox 5/1, Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago. Others look better treated. Beaten about 5l in her two runs this season and might be nearing peak fitness. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (3.2/1 -7%) Barometer |
3.2/1(-7%) | (9) Barometer 3.2/1, Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft, 4/1) 28 days ago, well positioned. Likely to be on the premises. Consistent this year without being able to get the job done; unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6.5/1 +19%) Rich Belief |
6.5/1(+19%) | (1) Rich Belief 6.5/1, 14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 47 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Not discounted. 3lb higher than for April's win and recent efforts could have been better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7.5/1 -25%) Viceregent |
7.5/1(-25%) | (8) Viceregent 7.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (11/4) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Capable 6yo but only 1-33 and has been placed too many times for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5.5/1 +54%) Weather Alert |
5.5/1(+54%) | (5) Weather Alert 5.5/1, Bit below form tenth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good, 14/1) 11 days ago. LIkely to strip fitter for that and is becoming well handicapped. Recently returned from a mammoth absence and was well behind Zileo at the Curragh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 -56%) Wrecking Ball Paul |
14/1(-56%) | (2) Wrecking Ball Paul 14/1, 33/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Winning hurdler in June; subsequent Flat exploits nothing to shout about. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 +58%) Vintage Gold |
28/1(+58%) | (10) Vintage Gold 28/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good, 28/1) 59 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Plenty to find on form. Maiden who has been struggling under both codes this year; out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (4/1 -100%) Zileo |
4/1(-100%) | (3) Zileo 4/1, 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 11 days ago, better placed than most. Makes plenty of appeal. In this new headgear combination, he was second in a huge field at the Curragh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BAROMETER has a good course record despite not winning at this track. A useful stayer, he has three runner-ups and one third-placing from five course runs, comes here in good form under a 4lb claimer and is ground-versatile. Zileo was behind the selection here in July and while his only win was in France in April 2021, ran well over this distance when finishing second of 21 at the Curragh 11 days ago. Rich Belief was well held over hurdles last month but won over a similar flat distance in April and seems ground-versatile. Keen-going Wrecking Ball Paul has useful bits of form but is a handful while Viceregent ran well at Ballinrobe in July but has won just once from 33 career starts. Votre Homme runs in his first handicap while nine-race maiden Chatterbox ran well here last October. Five-time winner Jake Peter has been well held recently.
ZILEO reacted well to blinkers when second in a more competitive event than this at the Curragh last time and he's fancied to go one better if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Barometer and Viceregent look the chief threats.
The 8yo BAROMETER continues to knock on the door and he so nearly won this 12 months ago off the very same mark.

M C Muldoon |
(4) (3.33/1 -33%)3.33/1(-33%) | (4) M C Muldoon 3.33/1, Useful gelding. Off 22 months before fair fourth of 6 in minor event at Galway (14.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. One to consider with that run under his belt. Useful at his peak and was an encouraging fourth on recent return from a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (6.5/1 -63%) Almuhit |
6.5/1(-63%) | (3) Almuhit 6.5/1, Useful gelding. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, heavy, 28/1) 24 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Inferior hurdler to some of these but better known for his Flat exploits; ran well in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +38%) Minella Mate |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Minella Mate 5/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 66/1, won 16-runner maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) on flat debut 22 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly up in trip. Not ruled out. 66-1 when beating the Irish Derby fifth in a 1m4f maiden at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (1.1/1 +27%) Pied Piper |
1.1/1(+27%) | (5) Pied Piper 1.1/1, Useful on Flat for John and Thady Gosden and has made into a smart hurdler, last of six in Punchestown Champion Hurdle 118 days ago. Most interesting back on the level. High-class hurdle who nearly won at Cheltenham in March; no slouch on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 -100%) Seddon |
8/1(-100%) | (7) Seddon 8/1, Smart jumps winner who completed a four-timer in 18-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft) 117 days ago. Player on his belated Flat debut. Has been a revelation for John McConnell in winning his last four handicaps over jumps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (300/1 -355%) Balaclava |
300/1(-355%) | (6) Balaclava 300/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at this course (14.1f, good to soft, 250/1) 37 days ago so others appeal more. Longstanding maiden with a basement handicap mark; out of his depth. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PIED PIPER hasn't run since April but may have been kept for a slightly later campaign this summer. A Grade 2-winning hurdler, he finished sixth in last year's Ascot Stakes but bypassed the royal meeting this year and reappears in a suitable race with his rider claiming a helpful 5lb. M C Muldoon, runner-up in the 2021 Ascot Stakes, was Grade 2-placed over hurdles in the past and returned from 664 days off when running well at Galway. He should improve from that but is three years older than the selection and mightn't match his pace. Minella Mate won at 66/1 at Galway and while the runner-up scored subsequently, is nonetheless greatly flattered by a 104-rating. Minella Mate is progressive but faces a stiffer test. Almuhit disappointed at Galway but had previously run well in staying Curragh handicaps while nine-time winning ten-year-old Seddon is difficult to fancy on his first flat start. Balaclava has run 33 times and has never worn headgear.
PIED PIPER and Seddon bring lots of hurdling expertise here and can fight out a good finish on the level here with preference for Gordon Elliott's high-class hurdler. M C Muldoon is another to consider for a yard which has an excellent record in this event.
Preference is for PIED PIPER, a classy hurdler who has also shown good Flat form for the Gosdens and Gordon Elliott.

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.
