(3)  Quarry Stone |  | |  | | | 2 | James Ryan | Liam McAteer | Ran very green when a huge price first time out at Roscommon; safe to rule out. | ||
4th (4)  Tipping Along | | | | | | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | E J O'Grady | 100-1, never involved on debut over 7f at Leopardstown; unlikely to feature. | ||
(5)  Sarahmae | | | | | | 2 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | Faded in the final quarter-mile on debut over 7f at Galway; shorter trip may help her cause but faces as stiff task against Rebel Diamond. | ||
2nd (2)  Temperance | | | | | | 2 | Chris Hayes | Miss Kate McGivern | Plenty of encouragement can be taken from her recent debut, a staying-on fifth over an extended 7f at Tipperary; needs to break better and the shorter trip is a concern. | ||
3rd (6)  Vanilla Baby | | | | | | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Eighth foal; half-sister to seven winners; dam 1m4f AW winner, half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Integral; might prefer further but she gets 16lb from Rebel Diamond and comes from a stable with significant trial-material. | ||
1st (1)  Rebel Diamond | | | | | | 2 | W J Lee | Miss Natalia Lupini | By far the most experienced of these having run five times; atoned for odds-on Sligo defeat with a hard-earned Naas success; sets a good standard as a 85-rated colt taking on four once-raced opponents and a newcomer. |
With a major advantage in experience and a win under his belt REBEL DIAMOND can be fancied to concede weight to his five rivals. The unknown quantity is Vaniala Baby while Temperance looks best of the four once-raced runners. [Alan Sweetman]

2nd (4)  Elusive Duke | | | | | | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | Kevin Thomas Coleman | First foal out of an Elusive Pimpernel who failed to train on after a debut 1m win at the 2017 Listowel festival. | ||
(5)  Historical Fact | | | | | | 2 | Jamie Powell | Charles O'Brien | Dropped away from two furlongs out when finishing in rear first time out at Gowran; no early sign of winning potential. | ||
(6)  I'll Be Handy | | | | | | 2 | Wesley Joyce | Matthew J Smith | Half-brother to several winners, best of them the Richard Fahey-trained Another Touch whose eight wins included a 1m Listed event at Pontefract; dam win over 1m. | ||
(2)  City Pass | | | | | | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Kieran P Cotter | Fourth foal; unraced dam closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Dylan Thomas, 1,000 Guineas winner Homecoming Queen and Oaks second Remember When (dam of Serpentine), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Queen's Logic; very smart pedigree but twice failed to sell at public auction for relatively small money. | ||
(8)  Lost President | | | | | | 2 | Donagh O'Connor | Ross O'Sullivan | Made a satisfactory debut at Navan, finishing seventh of 19; however, safely held by Comanche Brave on Curragh running. | ||
3rd (1)  Aston Value | | | | | | 2 | Shane B Kelly | J P Murtagh | Cost £72,000 as a yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to three winners, notably seven-time scorer Deep Intrigue; dam Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner for Paul Cole. | ||
(7)  Lily's Magic | | | | | | 2 | Ronan Whelan | Kieran P Cotter | Third foal; half-brother to Noel Meade-trained winners Seti and Hokusai; dam unplaced; trainer also runs the well-bred City Pass. | ||
4th (9)  Montpellier Green | | | | | | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Cost 110,000euros as a yearling and is half-brother to a Listed winner; well beaten over 6f on debut in the Currragh maiden in which Comanche Brave was fourth; soundly beaten in fourth when raised in trip at Roscommon. | ||
(10)  Ohmali | | | | | | 2 | W J Lee | Miss Natalia Lupini | Second foal; dam was an 1m4f AW winner but should get plenty of speed from his sire Sands Of Mali; in good hands. | ||
(11)  Winter Bonfire | | | | | | 2 | Colin Keane | M D O'Callaghan | Noted staying on in the closing stages on debut at the Curragh; has a little more than 3l to find with fourth-placed Comanche Brave who was also running for the first time. | ||
1st (3)  Comanche Brave | | | | | | 2 | Gavin Ryan | Donnacha Aidan O'Brien | Made an encouraging debut when stating on for fourth of 19 behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Ides Of March at the Curragh; form is working out, the winner followed up in a Group 3 race, runner-up Monumental has won a maiden and the third has been Listed-placed; has an edge over Winter Bonfire. |
Donnacha O'Brien's COMANCHE BRAVE shaped with promise in a strong maiden over this trip at the Curragh and can uphold form with Winter Bonfire. City Pass has a superb pedigree but his failure to sell on two visits to the sales is a negative. Ohmali is of some interest on debut. [Alan Sweetman]

(4)  Gabriella's Spirit | | | | | | 5 | N G McCullagh | K J Condon | Three-time 5f winner including at this track, sights lowered again after a Listed bid at Tipperary ten days ago; has a bit to find with Grand City Hall on running here in July. | ||
3rd (9)  Never Shout Never | | | | | | 4 | Cian MacRedmond | Jack W Davison | 5f course winner last season but this year's form suggests this 6f is close to his optimum trip; one of his best efforts when fourth to today's rival Imperial Dream at the Curragh on penultimate start. | ||
(5)  Goal Exceeded | | | | | | 3 | Keithen Kennedy | John S O'Donoghue | Won a 6f Naas maiden on soft last October; best effort since when third of 11 in a 5f premier handicap at the Curragh in June; gelded since out of the money at Newmarket later that month. | ||
2nd (3)  Imperial Dream | | | | | | 4 | Robyn Donaghue-Leahy | Patrick J Flynn | Two wins for Sir Mark Prescott were over 7f, but a return 6f did the trick when he won for this rider at the Curragh last month; form has also included second to Linger For Longer over an extended 6f at Limerick; up 7lb form Curragh win, can remain competitive. | ||
(6)  Collective Power | | | | | | 6 | Colin Keane | Edward Lynam | Basically reliable sort with a record of seven wins and 22 places from 56 outings; has done plenty of racing since most recent win at Dundalk in February; others have stronger recent credentials. | ||
4th (7)  Moltophino | | | | | | 3 | Seamie Heffernan | John Andrew Kinsella | Four seconds from his last five starts; becoming frustrating but not much improvement needed; chased home a well fancied rival at Navan last time, similar scenario at Dundalk previously; deserves to pick up a race. | ||
(8)  Linger For Longer | | | | | | 5 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Augustine Leahy | C&D winner last season; wins this term at Tipperary and Limerick have been over a bit further; not beaten in fourth in a fillies' handicap over 7f here last time. | ||
(2)  Heart Of Darkness | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | P Twomey | A 6f AW maiden winner (second now rated 88) in April; would have been closer in a Listed race here in May had she enjoyed a clearer run; lack of a recent outing is only a slight concern; potentially on a favourable mark for her handicap debut. | ||
1st (1)  Grand City Hall | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | Jarlath P Fahey | Yet to add to a C&D maiden win but has solid form to his credit in sprint handicaps; harmed his chance with a slow break at Ascot a month ago; better judged on form such as neck second over 5f at Fairyhouse and C&D third behind the progressive Kendall Roy. |
Though absent since contesting a Listed race at this venue in May HEART OF DARKNESS could be equal to the task in her first handicap. The consistent Moltophino can be expected to go close and Grand City Hall could make his presence felt if there is no recurrence of the slow start that spoiled his chance at Ascot last time.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(14)  Hastily | | | | | | 5 | Jack Cleary | Tom McGuinness | C&D winner in 2022; has been regressive since last win at Chepstow a year ago; poor Flat/hurdles form in recent months; cheekpieces tried now. | ||
(10)  Chica Linda | | | | | | 4 | Robyn Donaghue-Leahy | James Andrew Fahey | Middle-distance winner at Sligo last season; poor form this year including over hurdles; tailed off last of 11 at Tramore last time. | ||
5th (12)  Adam's Boy | | | | | | 4 | Keithen Kennedy | Michael J Browne | Ordinary maiden form; finished with only two behind him on handicap debut; blinkered now with a valuable 7lb claimed. | ||
(16)  Pass The Sugar | | | | | | 3 | Killian Leonard | J F O'Shea | Has shown little in four maidens at 6f/7f and makes little appeal on her handicap debut. | ||
(18)  Aisling Oscar | | | | | | 3 | Danny Sheehy | Craig O'Neill | Back-to-back Dundalk AW winner last winter at 7f/1m; needs to improve markedly on overall turf form; best of three runs in recent months when fifh over 1m at Limerick. | ||
(19)  Quite Content | | | | | | 3 | Nathan Crosse | Daniel William O'Sullivan | Weak maiden form; impossible to make a case for him on handicap debut. | ||
(20)  Weston Grey | | | | | | 3 | Leigh Roche | Jarlath P Fahey | Weak maiden form at three different trips; last of six over 7f at Limerick in May on her handicap debut; has had time to mature, but best watched; her new trainer fits a tongue-tie. | ||
(4)  Tropical Shot | | | | | | 3 | K W De Oliveira | Diego Dias | Runner-up in a juvenile fillies' novice for Charlie Hills at Windsor a year ago; hard to fancy on the form of two Irish starts last month but could be a different proposition in her first handicap. | ||
(15)  Jackie Brown | | | | | | 4 | Seamie Heffernan | Mrs C O'Leary | 6f winner at Fairyhouse last summer; out of form this year, but should be sharper after last month's Hamilton run, her first after a break; now down to basement mark. | ||
(17)  Rattletheonionbag | | | | | | 4 | James Ryan | W P Browne | Twice placed in maidens last year, no sign of comparable form in handicaps this term; cheekpieces for the first time now after moderate run when quite well fancied at Bellewstown. | ||
(11)  Trueba | | | | | | 8 | Patrick McGettigan | Edmond Daniel Linehan | C&D winner just over a year ago; modest form this year apart from Limerick third in June; suffered interference at this venue on latest. | ||
1st (2)  Distillate | | | | | | 4 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | Long-priced C&D winner in May; recent form leaves her with a great deal to prove; not in the first ten in three outings since making the frame over 5f at Navan. | ||
(8)  Baalbec Beauty | | | | | | 6 | Declan McDonogh | Miss Hilary McLoughlin | 16-race maiden, generally disappointing since Gowran second over this trip last season; new headgear combination now after unplaced run in a claimer last time. | ||
(13)  Amemri | | | | | | 4 | Luke McAteer | David Marnane | Won three times last year, including twice on AW; nothing of much note this terms but could feature off this mark; last month's Dundalk fifth was a step in the right direction. | ||
3rd (9)  Blue Wood | | | | | | 8 | Colin Keane | Kevin Michael Smith | Winner over this trip at Down Royal in June; another good effort when third at Dundalk on penultimate start; excuses offered at Bellewstown, reported coughing and lost a shoe in running. | ||
4th (3)  Church Mountain | | | | | | 6 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | All four wins have been gained at around 1m, creditable fourth over 7f at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the evidence of his most recent form, quite short in the betting on both occasions. | ||
(1)  Morning Approach | | | | | | 6 | Danny Power | W McCreery | Heavy ground was probably against her at Roscommon last time; second off this mark at Tipperary in July and a reproduction would make her competitive. | ||
(6)  Sobriety Blue | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Eight-race maiden, never in the first three; fair form in taking fifth in races at Dundalk and Galway during the summer; needs to find a bit extra. | ||
(7)  Goldmoyne | | | | | | 4 | Ronan Whelan | Timothy Doyle | Gained the second win of his career in emphatic style over this trip at the Curragh last month; backed that up with a solid third of 17 over 6f at the same venue; finished one place behind Surpass And Shine when seventh here in July and that rematch could now prove crucial. | ||
2nd (5)  Surpass And Shine | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | Patrick J Flynn | Third in a sprint maiden at Dundalk and came from a long way back to finish sixth in a 6f handicap at this venue in July, just in front of subsequent winner Goldmoyne; improved for that when second of 18 over this trip at Leopardstown; holds an obvious chance. |
This provides SURPASS AND SHINE to step up a place after a fine second over 7f at Leopardstown. He had previously run well over C&D, finishing just in front of Goldmoyne, a probable danger despite being 9lb higher as a result of a Curragh victory. Blue Wood and Amemri are others to bear in mind. [Alan Sweetman]

3rd (2)  Dear Daphne | | | | | | 4 | J M Sheridan | R K Watson | Struggled towards the end of her time in Britain and no signs of a revival in two runs for new yard. | ||
(10)  Liamo | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Harnett | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Promise in a Dundalk maiden last year but low-key form more recently and was last of nine over 1m4f here when last seen in July; enough to prove at present markedly down in trip. | ||
(15)  The Crafty Girl | | | | | | 3 | Luke McAteer | Alan McIntyre | Some promise in maidens as a juvenile but has really struggled in five runs for new yard this year. | ||
(20)  Phoenix Princess | | | | | | 3 | Leigh Roche | Micky Fenton | Four-race maiden who was a well held 100-1 shot on handicap debut and has been off 299 days; new yard. | ||
(14)  Nordic Passage | | | | | | 9 | James Ryan | J F Levins | Just one win since 2020; hinted at a return to form when third at Fairyhouse in June but form has dipped again in two runs since. | ||
| (17) Coffeemeanscoffee | | | | | | 9 | Killian Leonard | Tom McGuinness | Lost her way a little since back-to-back wins in Britain last summer; beaten 7l at Bellewstown over 1m last month and remains best watched for now. | ||
(12)  Exceeding | | | | | | 3 | Cian Horgan | Andrew Slattery | Some promise over this trip earlier in the year but hasn't been competitive in recent handicaps and no signs of a revival at Tipperary last week. | ||
(18)  Spirit Of Eagles | | | | | | 4 | Jack Cleary | Thomas Dowling | Sole win came over 5f at Down Royal last year; below that sort of level this year including at Navan on Saturday and has struggled in three runs at further than 6f. | ||
(9)  Miami Sunshine | | | | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | Adrian Murray | Hit the frame on reappearance at Gowran (1m, heavy) but hasn't built on that over further twice since; might find this test too sharp on return from 104 days off. | ||
5th (8)  Han Solo | | | | | | 8 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Augustine Leahy | Made all over C&D this time last year from the basement mark; not at the same sort of level over further so far this campaign but return to this C&D might suit and he's one to consider. | ||
2nd (11)  Akeela | | | | | | 4 | Alan Persse | M A Cahill | Stayed on strongly to get off the mark at the eighth attempt in a Naas handicap two starts ago; shaped like she may be ready for a step up to 6f here latest. | ||
(16)  Lucky Queen | | | | | | 5 | Cian MacRedmond | Anthony Mullins | Sole win in 22 starts came here over 1m; ran okay over 1m2 at Navan on Saturday but likely to find this test too sharp (unplaced all runs at 7f or shorter). | ||
1st (19)  Lorr's Girl | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Powell | Rodger Sweeney | 10-race maiden who shaped like a drop back in trip might suit when fourth of 16 at Gowran last week; ground fine and has an each-way squeak if she can build on that run. | ||
(13)  Hezahunk | | | | | | 5 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | 0-23; creditable return to action after four months off over the minimum at Navan on Saturday and should relish the step back up to 7f; respected. | ||
| (1) Von Krolock | | | | | | 5 | W J Lee | Timothy Doyle | In and out form this campaign; good run when beaten roughly 1l at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate start and sole win came at this trip; needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run last week. | ||
4th (3)  I Bid You Ajou | | | | | | 3 | Gavin Ryan | Mark Fahey | 10-race maiden; best form has come at this trip and hit the crossbar at the Curragh (7f) 2 starts ago on similar ground to what he'll get here; worth forgiving subsequent run at Gowran and can be in the mix. | ||
(4)  Mags | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | Kieran P Cotter | Stayed on nicely, giving the impression she would appreciate a step back up in trip at the Curragh on her handicap debut last month; probably not helped by a low draw that day and only nudged up 1lb; more upside than most. | ||
(5)  Suityourselfboss | | | | | | 5 | Keithen Kennedy | Michael J Browne | Off the mark at the 16th attempt in a 1m Dundalk handicap when last seen in April; 9lb higher and shorter trip not sure to suit; might need this after 151 days off. | ||
(6)  Shaaden | | | | | | 4 | Seamie Heffernan | Patrick J Flynn | 12-race maiden who was beaten less than a length in a 7f Gowran handicap before a creditable seventh of 28 in a stronger race at the Curragh last time; ought to go well again from the same mark. |
There was plenty of promise from MAGS (nap) on handicap debut at the Curragh last time when giving the impression the step back up in trip would suit and she can go well from just 1lb higher. Shaaden and I Bid You Ajou both ran with credit at the Curragh last time and should be involved again. [Phill Anderson]

(11)  Peaceful Dove | | | | | | 2 | Mikey Sheehy | Joe Conlon | Tailed off 150-1 shot on last month's debut; up in trip and up against it. | ||
| (2) Alaskan Red | | | | | | 2 | Jamie Powell | Rodger Sweeney | Didn't show much 125-1 for a Gowran maiden on last week's debut; hood now tried. | ||
(13)  Smooth | | | | | | 2 | N G McCullagh | Charles Weld | Last of 18 when 33s for her debut and drawn wide this time. | ||
(1)  Aiyana Rose | | | | | | 2 | Ronan Whelan | John S O'Donoghue | Well held 80-1 shot on debut at Leopardstown last month; up in trip and probably up against it for now. | ||
(16)  Watching | | | | | | 2 | James Ryan | Jack W Davison | Well held 28-1 shot in a Naas maiden on her debut and best watched for now. | ||
(7)  Just Before | | | | | | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | W P Browne | Last of 10 in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh last month when 25-1; best watched. | ||
(14)  Touted Plan | | | | | | 2 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | Advertise filly; half-sister to five winners including Private Matter (5f-7f including 2yo Listed; RPR 100), Mon Choix (6f-1m including KSA; 94) and City Tour (7f-11.4f including AW; 92); dam well held 7f 2yo (37), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Red Box; 2yo winners in pedigree and any market support could be significant. | ||
(4)  Calrissiana | | | | | | 2 | Rory Cleary | Noel Meade | Too Darn Hot filly; cost 60,000euros as a 2yo at the Breeze-ups; half-sister to winners Camerata (7f AW; RPR 73), Clubman (Australian 7f) and Caracasa (German 1m1f); dam German 1m-1m1f winner (including Group 3; 107), half-sister to Group-placed 7f-1m3f winner Clear For Take Off; bred for this sort of test; wide draw for debut perhaps not ideal; worth a market check. | ||
(10)  Miss Ariana | | | | | | 2 | Leigh Roche | William Durkan | Didn't get a clear run when third in a barrier trial at Leopardstown last month; should improve with that experience under her belt and one to consider. | ||
3rd (17)  Wemightakedlongway | | | | | | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Was a fair way behind Miss Ariana in a barrier trial last month and Tswalu is yard's first-string. | ||
2nd (8)  Kitty Rickets | | | | | | 2 | Paddy Harnett | David J Geary | Keen when seventh in a 7f Curragh maiden on debut last month; likely to do better with that experience under her belt; yard get 2yo winners. | ||
(3)  Bint Majestic Roi | | | | | | 2 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Slowly away when eighth of 11 in a Leopardstown maiden in July; needs to leave that run behind. | ||
| 1st (6) Jaliyah | | | | | | 2 | Robert Whearty | Adrian Murray | Promising fourth in a Curragh maiden over 7f on debut and probably unsuited by 6f when fifth at Naas last month; likely to be involved stepping up in distance here. | ||
(12)  Sea Coral | | | | | | 2 | Nathan Crosse | Mrs John Harrington | Stayed on nicely to finish a close second in a barrier trial at Leopardstown last month; should have learnt plenty from that experience and trip likely to suit. | ||
4th (9)  Made U Blush | | | | | | 2 | W J Lee | W McCreery | Masar filly; cost 40,000gns as a foal; half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Mythical Dancer (RPR 91); dam 1m2f-1m3f winner (including Listed; 106), out of 1m2f Listed winning half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Exaltation and Listed winners at 10.5f and 1m4f; well worth a market check ahead of debut. | ||
(15)  Tswalu | | | | | | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Justify filly; cost 400,000euros as a yearling; sister to Listed-placed 10.5f AW winner Shamwari (RPR 97), half-sister to US 6f AW winner Faithful Ruler; dam 6f AW winner (88), sister to 1m Group 2 winner Viscount Nelson and US 1m Grade 3 winner Point Piper; yard can ready one. | ||
(5)  Happiest | | | | | | 2 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Camelot filly; half-sister to winners Peaceful (1m including 2yo/Irish 1,000 Guineas; RPR 112), Easter (7f 2yo/9.4f Listed; 106), El Greco (1m; 93), Andromeda (1m4f; 92) and Ataman Ermak (French 1m5f-2m; 88); dam French 6f-6.5f winner (including 2yo/Listed; 116); typically well bred filly for this yard but the yard's representatives often come on plenty for their first run. |
Jaliyah is likely to improve back up in trip and Kitty Rickets is another filly with experience who should appreciate a longer trip. However, a chance is taken on SEA CORAL who pulled nicely clear with another in a barrier trial recently and she ought to improve on debut over this sort of trip. Any money for the expensive purchase Tswalu or the well bred Happiest would be worth noting ahead of their debuts and like the selection, Miss Ariana showed ability in a barrier trial last month.

(9)  Thefutureisnow | | | | | | 3 | Luke McAteer | Michael Hourigan | Tailed off over timber last time and had shown very little on the level previously. | ||

4th (11)  My Little Lady | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | Left her debut behind when beaten just half a length in five-runner C&D contest in July; possibly not helped by softer ground at Bellewstown last month and may bounce back over this C&D. | ||
3rd (6)  Silent Guardian | | | | | | 3 | Colin Keane | Emmet Mullins | Lightning Spear gelding; cost 19,000gns as a foal and 16,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to three winners including Hopeful Melody (French 6f 2yo; RPR 82) and Hadley Park (1m AW 2yo; 78); dam French 1m1f turf/9.5f AW winner (82), half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Monty; yard can ready one but already gelded; check market. | ||
(5)  Old Sea | | | | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | Mrs John Harrington | Promise on AW debut and bounced back from lesser run when third of seven in Killarney maiden; should give a good account and solid place contender. | ||
1st (12)  Rubies From Burma | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | Henry De Bromhead | It was a big step forward from her AW debut when third of 11 in a 1m Leopardstown maiden last month; yard flying at present and more improvement on the cards. |
Having shown a good attitude to stay on for a share of the prize money a Leopardstown last time, RUBIES FROM BURMA might be the one to side with. She should improve again and represents a yard in flying form in recent weeks. C&D runner-up My Little Lady should appreciate conditions and Old Sea is capable of hitting the frame again.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(8)  What A Squeeze | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | Gearoid O'Loughlin | Struggled in two runs since leaving Jessica Harrington; worth a try at this trip but others appeal more. | ||
(11)  Bobby K | | | | | | 9 | Declan McDonogh | Michael William O'Meara | Five of his six wins have come on AW and just 1-17 on turf; well below his best in three runs this year and others preferred. | ||
(2)  Chavajod | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Harnett | D P Coakley | Only beaten a head at Killarney in July but low-key runs twice since; yet to win over this far but has run well at the trip previously; others more likely. | ||
(5)  Polaris Dancer | | | | | | 3 | Seamie Heffernan | W P Browne | Improved from debut when beaten half a length in a Limerick maiden; not as good in three runs since; drop back in trip might suit on handicap debut though. | ||
4th (1)  Polemon | | | | | | 5 | Alan Casey | Denis Gerard Hogan | Has won two of his last three coinciding with a switch of yards and won going away at Tipperary last week; 9lb higher but should be firmly involved again. | ||
2nd (10)  Koniag | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | Kieran P Cotter | Winning return at Leopardstown but no match for Killeaney Bear from 4lb higher at Tipperary when last seen; off 70 days. | ||
(3)  Alabama Calling | | | | | | 3 | Darragh O'Sullivan | David Marnane | Was a bit too keen over this trip at Leoaprdstown last time out; best turf form has come with a bit more cut in the ground than she's likely to get here. | ||
(4)  Bear Profit | | | | | | 5 | Keithen Kennedy | Gerard O'Leary | Won over this trip at Leopardstown earlier in the summer and hasn't been beaten far in three runs since; mark is easing and ground is fine. | ||
(7)  Alessia Fernanda | | | | | | 4 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | 10-race maiden who faded into fourth at Leopardstown last month; needs first-time cheekpieces to improve her. | ||
1st (6)  Killeaney Bear | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Has won twice over this sort of trip since switching to handicaps this year; won cosily and may be up to defying 2lb higher mark. | ||
3rd (9)  Tanazadia | | | | | | 3 | Colin Keane | J P Murtagh | Six-race maiden who has hit the crossbar in her last two starts; form of her latest second at Tramore hasn't really worked out though; 2lb higher dropping in trip. |
Tanazadia seems to be improving but the form of her latest start hasn't really worked out and the in-form POLEMON is preferred. He was good value for the winning margin at Tipperary last week and there could still be more to come for his new connections. Killeaney Bear is another that has won two of his last three and there's nothing wrong with a 2lb rise for his latest win. [Phill Anderson]
