1st (4) (5/2 -150%) Il Pellegrino |
5/2(-150%) | (4) Il Pellegrino 5/2, Twice-raced colt. 4/9, third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy). Off 8 months. The one to beat on his return to action. Decent 2yo form on soft; one to consider if handling quicker conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 -18%) Monasterboice |
13/2(-18%) | (6) Monasterboice 13/2, Fairly useful gelding. 16/1, good eighth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 28 days ago. Stable having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Excuses last time; handles good ground so remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (3/1 -33%) Settlement |
3/1(-33%) | (15) Settlement 3/1, Fair filly. Respectable third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/5) 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Talented enough but not progressing; drop in trip and cheekpieces may do the trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (7/1 +30%) Pink Oxalis |
7/1(+30%) | (13) Pink Oxalis 7/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, third of 10 in maiden at this course (6.7f, soft) 37 days ago. Limerick third was encouraging and this trip should suit but more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (100/1 -203%) Princess Aurea |
100/1(-203%) | (14) Princess Aurea 100/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. All the better for Down Royal debut run but may still need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6/1 +40%) An Mhi Abu |
6/1(+40%) | (3) An Mhi Abu 6/1, Twice-raced gelding. 7/2, sixth of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 15 days ago. Leopardstown debut promise wasn't built on at Fairyhouse but still respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/1 -27%) Judge Me Not |
7/1(-27%) | (5) Judge Me Not 7/1, Promising sort. Third of 7 in maiden at this course (8f, soft, 13/8) 37 days ago. Yard having good spell. Open to improvement. Didn't quite see out 1m on soft lately; drop in trip could suit if handling ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (200/1 -33%) It's A Gamble |
200/1(-33%) | (10) It's A Gamble 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 18 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. No threat both recent maidens, eligible for a mark after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (300/1 -100%) Never Thought |
300/1(-100%) | (11) Never Thought 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, thirteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Well held twice in Curragh maidens on good ground; will be of more interest in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (200/1 -33%) Main Stand |
200/1(-33%) | (1) Main Stand 200/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, thirteenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Never sighted after slow start on Naas debut in October; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (300/1 -100%) Making A Move |
300/1(-100%) | (2) Making A Move 300/1, Lightly-raced colt. Fifteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm, 250/1) 17 days ago. Nothing so far in maidens, seems very limited. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (300/1 -100%) Ali's Court |
300/1(-100%) | (7) Ali's Court 300/1, Last of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Keen and green when last of 14 on recent Gowran debut; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (300/1 -100%) Behomebyhalfpast |
300/1(-100%) | (8) Behomebyhalfpast 300/1, Lightly-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, good, 150/1) 22 days ago. Moderate form so far in maidens, bred to want further; easily passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (300/1 -100%) Pass The Sugar |
300/1(-100%) | (12) Pass The Sugar 300/1, 150/1, last of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) on debut 15 days ago, missing break. Slowly away, last of 15 on recent Fairyhouse debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (300/1 -100%) Bless Me |
300/1(-100%) | (9) Bless Me 300/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Slow to break, well held both maidens; easily ignored. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
IL PELLEGRINO hasn't run since last October but showed useful form as a juvenile and reappears in a winnable maiden. Out of a winning half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner Aussie Rules, he finished second on Curragh debut to a subsequent Listed and American Grade 3 winner and while he was a beaten odds-on favourite at Naas in October, the winner is capable while the runner-up finished fifth in the recent Irish 2,000 Guineas. Settlement has a big race-fitness advantage but is frustrating, having failed to build on her juvenile promise and is tried in first-time cheekpieces. An Mhi Abu disappointed on his second start at Fairyhouse recenty but had previously run well on Leopardstown debut.
IL PELLEGRINO may have been turned over at short odds when last seen in the autumn but the pair ahead of him on that occasion have turned out to be useful and he can get off the mark on his return. Dermot Weld's Settlement is second choice ahead of Judge Me Not.
Several with similar chances but perhaps it's worth giving another chance to SETTLEMENT, dropped in trip with cheekpieces fitted

1st (2) (9/1 -20%) Anvika |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Anvika 9/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago. Has work to do. Struggled a bit off higher turf mark this term; upped in trip and handicapper relenting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (13/2 -44%) Byzantine Empress |
13/2(-44%) | (9) Byzantine Empress 13/2, No more than a respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm, 9/2) 17 days ago but player on his Cork third prior to that. Penultimate Cork run puts her in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (14/1 +0%) Thrifty Of Digby |
14/1(+0%) | (10) Thrifty Of Digby 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Weak enough finishing efforts both runs this term; others preferred on handicap debut here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (18/1 -50%) Exceeding |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Exceeding 18/1, 50/1, creditable fifth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Eyecatcher on turf debut last month; could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 -33%) Hemight |
6/1(-33%) | (5) Hemight 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 13 in maiden (14/1) at Tipperary (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver back on a sound surface with cheekpieces tried on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (7/2 -5%) Solomon Coop |
7/2(-5%) | (4) Solomon Coop 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped better than result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there back at 7f. Down 2lb and drops back to 7f so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +0%) Emerald Eclipse |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Emerald Eclipse 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 15 in maiden (7/1) at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Respected back in a handicap. Returns to optimum trip and should go well with ground to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (22/1 -120%) Alpha Cephei |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Alpha Cephei 22/1, 12/1 and visored for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Cork (5f, good) 8 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Slow starts over 5f this year; return to this longer trip could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (28/1 -40%) I'm Spartacus |
28/1(-40%) | (6) I'm Spartacus 28/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 173 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Dual Newcastle AW winner may just need this on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (14/1 +13%) Suilleabhain |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Suilleabhain 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Mild promise on turf and AW last year; gelded since but may need this comeback run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
EMERALD ECLIPSE reverts to handicaps having run well in a recent maiden and is suited by fast ground and this distance. His initial Dundalk runs were quite encouraging and while he was well held on handicap debut at Gowran, the third-placed horse won subsequently while the winner, runner-up and fourth-placed horses were each subsequently placed. Solomon Coop has a similar profile, in that he was well held on his own handicap debut recently but has useful form in maidens and has form at this distance. Hemight debuts in handicaps and while well enough held at Tipperary last month, should be better suited by this faster ground and runs in first-time cheekpieces.
SOLOMON COOP was better than the result on his recent 1m Leopardstown handicap debut and can come good now dropping back to 7f. Joseph O'Brien's Emerald Eclipse is second choice ahead of Byzantine Empress.
Sure to appreciate the return to this trip EMERALD ECLIPSE (nap) could prove the one to beat on ground to suit

1st (3) (2/1 +40%) Quadruple |
2/1(+40%) | (3) Quadruple 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in maiden at Naas (8f, good, 15/8) 42 days ago. Stable having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Respected as an unexposed 3-y-o. Probably handicapped about right but could improve for handicap debut and a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (40/1 -186%) Katie Bairdie |
40/1(-186%) | (5) Katie Bairdie 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Below her best last three times and will need to find more raised to this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/2 +0%) Help Me Rhonda |
7/2(+0%) | (6) Help Me Rhonda 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 6 days ago. Likely to improve. Gets the vote. Was green over 7f on h'cap debut; this longer trip should suit; go well off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/8 -15%) September Leaves |
11/8(-15%) | (2) September Leaves 11/8, Lightly-raced winner. Didn't need to improve to win 13-runner maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 11/8) 10 days ago. Should go well. Won a C&D maiden; talented claimer taking off 7lb is a help and she is a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (22/1 -389%) Miss Abby Jools |
22/1(-389%) | (1) Miss Abby Jools 22/1, C&D winner. 20/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good). Off 10 months. The betting should help guide to expectations on her return to action. Won a C&D handicap on soft ground a year ago; lacks a recent run but check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 +39%) The Fog Horn |
40/1(+39%) | (4) The Fog Horn 40/1, 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f). 10lb higher now. Off 158 days. Significantly up in trip. Is now just 1lb higher than that last winning mark, so considered on return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SEPTEMBER LEAVES seemed to briefly idle late-on when winning a course-and-distance maiden just 10 days ago and had previously shown good handicap form. Out of a winning half-sister to Hong Kong Group 1 winner Designs On Rome, she has improved this year and having met trouble in-running when finishing fourth in a valuable Curragh handicap in May, competes from just 2lb higher today. Frankel-sired Quadruple is out of a Group 2 winner and while her form is a little limited, is consistent and drops to handicap company. Help Me Rhonda ran well on handicap debut at Gowran six days ago and while well held by the first two finishers, shaped as though today's mile might suit.
HELP ME RHONDA shaped well in a big field on her recent Cork handicap debut and can build on that promise now. Fellow 3-y-o fillies Quadruple and September Leaves can give her most to think about.
A C&D maiden winner last time, SEPTEMBER LEAVES gets the benefit of a talented claimer's 7lb allowance today and can follow up.

1st (2) (12/1 +52%) One Boss |
12/1(+52%) | (2) One Boss 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Last of 8 in maiden (22/1) at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 39 days ago. First run for yard after leaving F. Flood. Moderate form this year; change of yard could spark a revival off reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (10/1 +0%) Leviosa |
10/1(+0%) | (11) Leviosa 10/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but stepped up on reappearance when sixth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Recent form doesn't give much cause for optimism; 5lb wrong here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) On Our Radar |
5/1(-11%) | (4) On Our Radar 5/1, Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 10 days ago. Enters calculations. Better AW form, just okay runs on turf of late; not sure this is his best trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (17/2 -70%) Spring Collection |
17/2(-70%) | (9) Spring Collection 17/2, 12/1, creditable fifth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Leopardstown fifth; cheekpieces now tried and return to 1m to suit; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (50/1 -52%) Tynamite |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Tynamite 50/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Tipperary (7.1f, soft) 24 days ago. 0-24 on turf, soft ground against him on latest; 2lb wrong and remains opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 +10%) Init Together |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Init Together 18/1, Modest maiden who ran badly when last of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 16/1) on final outing 8 months ago. Maiden went close off similar marks last summer; has run well fresh so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 +17%) Amemri |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Amemri 10/1, C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when seventeenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, eased off having met trouble. Back up in trip. C&D winner a year ago; no surprise if she improved on recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/2 +0%) Sirjack Thomas |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Sirjack Thomas 9/2, Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 and operating below best at present but on a good mark and this represents a drop in grade. Inconsistent nowadays but down to career-low and first run in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (16/1 -14%) Bright Dick |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Bright Dick 16/1, Winner at Dundalk in April but below form when thirteenth of 22 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 16/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. AW winner in April but recent turf form leaves him with plenty to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (25/1 +0%) Cu Chulainn |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Cu Chulainn 25/1, 66/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Yet to show much this season. Dual winner on the AW in Britain but has offered precious little since arriving in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (8/1 -45%) Ano Manna |
8/1(-45%) | (3) Ano Manna 8/1, 17/2, possibly still needed the run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 39 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark and one to consider. Didn't seem to get home on soft latest; back down to a nice mark so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (9/1 -157%) Thirtysecondstreet |
9/1(-157%) | (10) Thirtysecondstreet 9/1, 20/1, third of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 6 days ago, better placed than most. Last week's Gowran third just 2lb higher and entitled to be thereabouts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AMEMRI won today's earlier-race on this fixture last year and is better than her latest run. A three-time winner who is well suited by this distance, she met minor traffic when disappointing at the Curragh but had previously run well at Cork in May, is generally reliable and should again compete from her rating. Thirtysecondstreet has been placed twice from 15 runs, including at Gowran recently and if she can replicate that form, has obvious claims with ground and race conditions in her favour. On Our Radar was placed on his only other run at a mile and while he was well held here recently, competes from a career low rating under his regular 7lb claimer.
9-y-o SIRJACK THOMAS needs to better his recent efforts, but he's slipped to a very attractive mark and this represents a drop in grade, so he's put forward as the tentative selection. On Our Radar and Ano Manna are a couple of others to consider.
Quite an open look to this but SPRING COLLECTION appeals now dropped slightly in trip with cheekpieces tried

1st (1) (85/40 -7%) Harbour Wind |
85/40(-7%) | (1) Harbour Wind 85/40, Smart gelding. Very good ¾-length second of 9 to Double Major in Prix Chaudenay at Longchamp (14.9f, good to firm, 19/10), staying on well. Off 8 months. Stable in good form. Player. Dual Listed winner last year; stays further; carries a penalty and lacks a recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 +14%) Dancing Tango |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Dancing Tango 12/1, Useful mare. 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form 7 lengths fourth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy) 45 days ago. Can still make her presence felt. Below her best at Gowran on return but can improve; seems better on easier ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 -40%) Serious Challenge |
7/1(-40%) | (3) Serious Challenge 7/1, Smart gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago. Yard in good form. Another bold show likely. Has run well in quality races up to 2m in varying ground conditions; should run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -57%) Perfect Portrait |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Perfect Portrait 22/1, Useful filly. 20¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy, 7/2) 45 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has been placed in this company; lost a shoe when poor on return; probably better on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/4 +36%) London City |
9/4(+36%) | (8) London City 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (11/2) at York (11.8f, good) 37 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Stable having good spell. Has more to offer so big shout. Won both starts this term; rated 102 and likely has more to give, so has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 -100%) Esquiline |
12/1(-100%) | (6) Esquiline 12/1, Useful filly. Very good neck second of 8 to Countess of Tyrone in listed race (12/1) at Down Royal (16f, good) 22 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Needs considering. Second in a Down Royal Listed upped to 2m last time; needs to reproduce that down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (40/1 -186%) Vischio |
40/1(-186%) | (5) Vischio 40/1, Useful mare. 33/1, 18¼ lengths last of 9 to Candleford in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good) 28 days ago. Something to find on form. Listed winner but hasn't matched best form this season and is better on softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 -167%) Sunchart |
16/1(-167%) | (2) Sunchart 16/1, Useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in March. 5¾ lengths last of 6 to Kyprios in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good, 33/1) 36 days ago. Won a Naas Listed over 1m2f in testing ground but below that form since; best on soft. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HARBOUR WIND was a smart stayer last year and this race is likely to have been mapped as a starting point ahead of another autumn campaign. Out of a smart half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup-placed Forgotten Rules, his high-class Longchamp runner-up effort in September has received many boosts with, most notably, the winner scoring a wide-margin success in the subsequent Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak. Race-fit Sunchart is capable and won a Listed race in March but might struggle to beat the selection racing from level-weights. Three-year-old London City is clearly progressive and has just 4lb to find with the selection on adjusted ratings, but nonetheless faces a much stiffer task than when winning a recent Chester handicap.
LONDON CITY's form is on an upward curve so Aidan O'Brien's Justify colt can take this step up in class in his stride and complete his hat-trick. The returning Harbour Wind has the form to play a big part and is next best ahead of in-form pair Serious Challenge and Esquiline.
An improving type, LONDON CITY can get the better of his older rivals, several of whom are penalised for previous wins at this level.

1st (8) (7/2 -17%) Gangster Granny |
7/2(-17%) | (8) Gangster Granny 7/2, Lightly-raced filly. 17/2, good third of 13 in handicap at this course (11.5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Leading form claims. Beaten 2l in a C&D handicap last time off a mark of 59; will have to find some improvement. |

2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Mont St Michel |
5/2(+64%) | (6) Mont St Michel 5/2, Once-raced colt. Tenth of 16 in maiden (11/1) at the Curragh (9f, soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Trainer going well. Blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time so could still do better. Will have to improve for this better ground but blinkers and tongue-tie can help. |

10/3(+45%) | (5) Fighter 10/3, Twice-raced colt. Twelfth of 16 in maiden (8/1) at the Curragh (9f, soft). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form but more is needed. Was 3l behind his stablemate and today's rival Mont St Michel on last start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 -167%) Winning Smut |
12/1(-167%) | (3) Winning Smut 12/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip. In the mix. Decent hurdle run last time; not a bad effort in a Cork maiden over 1m2f; can run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (8/1 -33%) Viyanni |
8/1(-33%) | (7) Viyanni 8/1, Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 22/1) 8 days ago. Trainer going well so he's one to consider. This is a lesser contest than two previous races but still needs to find improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (100/1 -203%) Tullyhogue Fort |
100/1(-203%) | (2) Tullyhogue Fort 100/1, Thrice-raced gelding on Flat. Third of 15 in handicap chase (9/2) at this course (19.7f, good) 30 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing so others appeal more. Three-time jumps winner has been well beaten in three Flat maidens and can't be fancied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (20/1 -25%) Apache Eagle |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Apache Eagle 20/1, Twice-raced colt. 33/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Blinkers on and has to improve markedly for the step up in trip on faster ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/1 -300%) Bukhill |
9/1(-300%) | (1) Bukhill 9/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. Off 7 months before eighth of 13 in maiden (22/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 8 days ago. Enters calculations. Dual hurdle winner; has shown ability in two Flat starts and should run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -100%) Starlight Legacy |
100/1(-100%) | (9) Starlight Legacy 100/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, last of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Beaten 31l in a Curragh maiden on recent debut and will have to improve enormously. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MONT ST MICHEL has a similar profile to Sara Valentina which won another such designed-to-be-weak course maiden recently and today's selection is also allowed compete, despite being very much unexposed. By Galileo and out of an American Grade 1 winning mare, the selection is clearly no star and showed only mild promise when beaten 18 lengths by high-class Illinois on debut but finished his race reasonably well, should progress and this race is weak. If the selection fails to perform in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers, Gangster Granny might pick up the pieces being race-fit and having run well here when rated 59 ten days ago. Viyanni showed mild promise at Fairyhouse while Fighter finished behind his stablemate selection last year.
GANGSTER GRANNY holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain her first victory at the chief expense of fair hurdles scorer Bukhill who could build on his recent Fairyhouse eighth. Viyanni and Winning Smut appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
MONT ST MICHEL can show improvement from his sole run last year and get off the mark, with a tongue-tie and blionkers to help.

Autocrat |
(6) (33/1 -230%)33/1(-230%) | (6) Autocrat 33/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below form seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. AW winner at this trip; fit from hurdling so don't rule out with new headgear combination. |

1st (12) (9/2 -29%) Rapid Mission |
9/2(-29%) | (12) Rapid Mission 9/2, Gelded/blinkered for 1st time when returning from 7 months off with an encouraging fifth of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 8/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip so this Frankel gelding is very much one to consider. Sights lowered here and longer trip could suit 3yo. |

2nd (11) (28/1 +15%) Qasbaz |
28/1(+15%) | (11) Qasbaz 28/1, First run since leaving James McAuley when sixteenth of 22 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Looks competitive on form if back on his A-game. Recent hurdles/yard debut should have brought him on and not one to rule out. |

3rd (3) (16/1 -300%) Eskimo Komet |
16/1(-300%) | (3) Eskimo Komet 16/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 4½ lengths eighth of 9 to Alessio in Oleander-Rennen at Hoppegarten (15.9f, good) 34 days ago. Back down in trip. Last of 8 in Group 2 in Germany last month, more realistic target here. |

4th (2) (25/1 -25%) Caradoc |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Caradoc 25/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 2m trip probably beyond him last twice; cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/2 +38%) Master Dunraven |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Master Dunraven 5/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Navan in May. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap (3/1) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Yard in good form. Well in the mix. Left with plenty to do at Fairyhouse latest; stays this trip and remains of interest. |

6th (9) (33/1 -371%) Cafe Con Leche |
33/1(-371%) | (9) Cafe Con Leche 33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, heavy, 18/1) 174 days ago. Off 174 days. Fair on the Flat so can make presence felt. Unlikely to have his ground here and watching brief advised on first run since December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (14/1 -115%) Black Soul |
14/1(-115%) | (14) Black Soul 14/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft). Off 10 months but weighted to go well if fully tuned up for his comeback. Absent since good second at Tipperary last August; big player if forward enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (9/1 +78%) Inchiquin Star |
9/1(+78%) | (10) Inchiquin Star 9/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Shortlisted. Soft-ground hurdles winner; 0-16 on the Flat, best form over shorter so others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 +33%) Blackberry Jack |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Blackberry Jack 22/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft, 25/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Not convinced this is his trip, blinkers now replace occasional cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (66/1 -65%) Snapius |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Snapius 66/1, Course winner. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, last of 17 in handicap (100/1) at the Curragh (14f, soft) 27 days ago, slowly away. Flat wins have come on good ground; yet to convince over this far however. |

11th (7) (4/1 +60%) Out On Friday |
4/1(+60%) | (7) Out On Friday 4/1, 16/1, very good fourth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (14f, good) 8 days ago. Can give a good account. Recent Fairyhouse run a solid effort; should make a bold bid back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (18/1 -50%) Purple Sky |
18/1(-50%) | (15) Purple Sky 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm, 66/1) 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut and much respected. Thrice-raced maiden upped in trip for handicap debut with potential to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (20/1 -67%) Edge Of Darkness |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Edge Of Darkness 20/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, respectable third of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Considered back in this sphere. Four-time 1m4f winner for the Johnstons; nothing yet for current yard though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (100/1 -150%) Three Comets |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Three Comets 100/1, 25/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 93 days ago. Off 93 days. Fair on the Flat but others more persuasive. Stamina no issue but recent form probably is. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MASTER DUNRAVEN raced from well off the pace and met some interference at Fairyhouse last month and should be suited by reverting to this distance. His only win was indeed gained over that same 1m2f distance, but having been outpaced at Fairyhouse, was also hampered three furlongs out before staying on reasonably well to finish a never-nearer sixth. Three-year-old Rapid Mission races against older horses for the first time but showed some promise on his seasonal reappearance recently. By Frankel, his juvenile form was useful and could be suited by stepping up to this distance. Black Soul is ideally suited by conditions and but is nonetheless long absent.
This looks wide open so it could be worth siding with Joseph O'Brien's son of Frankel RAPID MISSION who is fancied to take a step forward from his reappearance Navan fifth with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Fairyhouse-fourth Out On Friday is next on the list with Inchiquin Star and Master Dunraven also in the picture.
OUT ON FRIDAY gets the vote on the back of a fine run over further at Fairyhouse last week and seems sure to make a bold bid

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.
