|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(4)  Annie M |  | |  | | | 2 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | In rear throughout at Leopardstown after conceding lengths at the start; went off at 80-1. | ||
(9)  Escorpio | | | | | | 2 | Ronan Whelan | Adrian McGuinness | Hasn't shown enough in either start to warrant a second look kept to maiden company. | ||
(13)  Princess Peggy | | | | | | 2 | Leigh Roche | Gordon Elliott | 100-1 when bringing up the rear in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown nearly two months ago. | ||
(2)  Alaskan Red | | | | | | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | Rodger Sweeney | 1,600euros 2yo; first foal; dam unplaced 6f-8.6f (RPR 57), sister to 6f/7f winner Sip And Smile; likely best watched. | ||
(5)  Blondina | | | | | | 2 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Big odds when beaten about 14l in maidens at the Curragh (7f) and Naas (6f); one for another day. | ||
(8)  Clarabell | | | | | | 2 | Shane Foley | Adrian Sexton | Ridden more prominently than Amangani when behind that rival in a barrier trial at Dundalk in July; the O'Brien filly should confirm those placings. | ||
(12)  One Of A Kind | | | | | | 2 | Shane B Kelly | J P Murtagh | Big market drifter when eighth at Tipperary, finishing well behind Mint Candy. | ||
(16)  Ventress | | | | | | 2 | Danny Sheehy | J P Murtagh | First foal; dam unraced sister to 6f Listed winner Fleet Review, out of 8.4f winning sister to 1m-10.4f Group 1 winner Rip Van Winkle; respected should there be money about for her; trainer also runs Greatest Drama who is probably the first string. | ||
(1)  A Call Too Soon | | | | | | 2 | Andrew Slattery | J A Stack | Finished ninth in a Galway maiden (7f, yielding to soft) having missed the break; best watched for now. | ||
(14)  Sweet Zaroline | | | | | | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | 120,000euros yearling; first foal; dam placed 1m-10.6f (RPR 84), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Horoscope; stable also runs Amangani so the market should provide some clues; tongue tied. | ||
4th (7)  Chocalho | | | | | | 2 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Third foal; dam won three races in Argentina including a 1m 2yo Group 1; interesting newcomer. | ||
(15)  Tamam Desert | | | | | | 2 | W J Lee | E J O'Neill | In rear early and found trouble in running when beaten under 5l over slightly further at Leopardstown in July; that was a likeable start and she's entered in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile. | ||
3rd (3)  Amangani | | | | | | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Out of a US 6f turf winner and finished fifth in an AW barrier trial in early July, shaping encouragingly from off the pace; can improve. | ||
1st (10)  Greatest Drama | | | | | | 2 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Positives to take from her debut fifth at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) where she was getting the hang of things late on; likely improver. | ||
(6)  Cercene | | | | | | 2 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | 50,000euros yearling; 11-1 for July's debut over C&D and she produced all her best work late in the day to make the frame; that was highly encouraging and should be wiser this time. | ||
2nd (11)  Mint Candy | | | | | | 2 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Dubawi filly out of a high-class American mare; ran a solid first race when 17-2 at Tipperary (7.5f, good to firm) and there's improvement on the cards; entered in the Rockfel and the Fillies' Mile. |
Chocalho is an interesting newcomer and Amangani shaped with considerable promise in her barrier trial. Cercene, Mint Candy and Greatest Drama all made encouraging debuts and the same is true of TAMAM DESERT, a Fillies' Mile entrant who entered many notebooks after her troubled run at Leopardstown.[Alistair Jones]

(7)  Ryback | | | | | | 2 | Nathan Crosse | Liam G O'Brien | Triple-figure odds for both starts to date and beat just one rival home; cheekpieces go on but he is difficult to make a case for after those two efforts. | ||
(2)  Desmond Castle | | | | | | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Second runner for yard; related to winners but looked more of a long term prospect when beaten 16l on his debut at the Curragh (7f, good) ten days ago at odds of 25-1; stable looks to have stronger claims with Dante's Lad. | ||
(9)  Tiger Kitten | | | | | | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | S M Duffy | Beaten 26l on debut at the Curragh (7f, gd) but shaped much better second time up over the same C&D when eighth of 13, beaten 10.5l; qualifies for a mark after this and will be of interest when tackling handicaps. | ||
2nd (8)  Tashir | | | | | | 2 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | First foal; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 101), half-sister to winners Tarana (1m4f/12.5f Listed; dam of Opera/Vermeille/BC Turf winner Tarnawa) and Tarankali (useful 7f-8.4f), out of 1m4f Listed winner; Kingman colt is in good hands and worth a market check on debut. | ||
(4)  Green Asset | | | | | | 2 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Not disgraced on debut in a decent maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good) back in May, seventh of 10 beaten 6.5l; absent since and has been gelded; related to plenty of winners and he has outside place claims if fit for his return. | ||
4th (3)  Forza Toro | | | | | | 2 | Shane Foley | John James Feane | Third foal; brother to winners Anatoli (6f AW 2yo; RPR 85) and East Bank (5f turf 2yo/7f AW; 71); dam 7f 2yo winner (73), half-sister to Listed-placed 6f/7f 2yo winner Jamaayel, out of 7f Group 3 winning sister to 6f Group 2 winner Haatef; Aclaim colt probably best watched on debut. | ||
(5)  Manhattan Chute | | | | | | 2 | Leigh Roche | M D O'Callaghan | No show on debut at Naas but much more like it second time up at the same track, beaten just 4l when sixth of 21 at 150-1 in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes (6f, yielding); probably will be quicker ground here (non-runner here on account of good to firm last month) but the step up to 7f should suit; has to be considered after that last effort. | ||
| (10) Zambales | | | | | | 2 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Definite potential when showing signs of greenness behind Tunbridge Wells at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut; blinkered and ridden more forward on his next start at Fairyhouse (6f, good) but didn't see it out; the headgear is removed and he could improve if ridden more patiently upped in trip; not fully discounted. | ||
1st (6)  Monumental | | | | | | 2 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Only beat one rival home on Curragh debut (6f, good) but much better in first-time blinkers (retained) over the same C&D last month, beaten 3l into second by subsequent Group 3 winner Ides Of March; step up in trip looks sure to suit on pedigree and he has an obvious chance. | ||
3rd (1)  Dante's Lad | | | | | | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | First of two runners for yard; well-bred colt made a solid start to his career with a 2.5l third in a 7f Curragh maiden (good to firm) last month at odds of 14-1; runner-up from that race has won since and he is a leading contender with that experience under his belt; tongue tie is retained. |
A very interesting maiden. The form of Monumental's second at the Curragh has been franked and he has a big chance if the blinkers work again upped in trip. Manhattan Chute also steps up in trip after a massive run in the Ballyhane Stakes but quick ground is an unknown for him. DANTE'S LAD (nap) finished just behind a subsequent maiden winner over this trip on debut and he is preferred with stamina assured. Zambales could also hit the frame if ridden a bit more patiently with the blinkers worn last time discarded. [Dave Stephens]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1)  Gift Of Life | | | | | | 4 | Robert Whearty | C Moore | No worthwhile form in his five starts and instantly opposable. | ||
(17)  Al Bahar | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | First reserve; beaten 11l and 27l in his two races; needs this for a mark. | ||
(2)  Celtic Druid | | | | | | 3 | Alyse Clarke | T G McCourt | Finished closer second time out at Dundalk but was still beaten 10l; has to step up. | ||
(16)  Wanda The Fish | | | | | | 3 | Conor Maxwell | P J Rothwell | 125-1 when tailed off over 1m1f at Leopardstown and makes no appeal for now. | ||
| (18) Carried With Love | | | | | | 3 | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Second reserve; down the field in two 1m2f maidens and handicaps will be her scene. | |||
(4)  Danzy Boy | | | | | | 3 | K W De Oliveira | W M Roper | Third foal; dam placed 7f/7.6f (RPR 66), half-sister to useful 1m1f-12.4f winner Mutamaded, out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Sorayya and 6f 2yo Listed winner Declaration Of War; unlikely to be the answer first time out. | ||
(13)  Profit Surge | | | | | | 3 | Nathan Crosse | John Geoghegan | Headgear is soon turned to after finishing well behind at the Curragh (6f; 66-1). | ||
(9)  Carrigans Grove | | | | | | 3 | Robyn Donaghue-Leahy | Patrick J Flynn | Finished last at Roscommon where Clever And Cute was well ahead in second. | ||
(5)  Firesky | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | Ciaran Murphy | Second foal; dam unplaced 6f-1m1f (RPR 49), half-sister to 10.6f AW winner Moondharrig; would need to see market confidence behind him. | ||
(3)  Court Parade | | | | | | 3 | Shane B Kelly | P F McEnery | First foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful 6f winner Moyassar, out of 6f winning half-sister to 5f 2yo Group 2 winner Sir Prancealot; likely best watched. | ||
2nd (15)  Supreme Success | | | | | | 3 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Shown a smidgeon of promise in her first two races but appeals as one for handicaps. | ||
(8)  Altimara | | | | | | 3 | Leigh Roche | Ross O'Sullivan | Not beaten far when fourth on Naas debut (5f) but then only tenth at Cork (6f); returns from a long absence. | ||
(14)  Rodeeve | | | | | | 3 | Wesley Joyce | Michael J Browne | Much improved over 7f at Roscommon, for all that she couldn't live with the front two; the ground was heavy so may prefer those conditions. | ||
(6)  Yaxchilan | | | | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Best effort was probably his first when beaten 4.5l over 6f at Naas; beaten further over 7f and back at 6f the last twice; blinkers are now added. | ||
4th (12)  Princess Aurea | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Beaten in the region of 5l in her last three races and may remain vulnerable in maidens. | ||
1st (7)  Marakesh | | | | | | 4 | W J Lee | Henry De Bromhead | Decorated Knight filly and closely related to 7f/1m winner Zefferino (RPR 85); 33-1 when refused to enter the stalls on intended debut at the Curragh. | ||
(11)  Clever And Cute | | | | | | 3 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Similar RPRs in her three races, on good and heavy ground; a line through her latest Roscommon conqueror gives her similar claims to Castanets. | ||
3rd (10)  Castanets | | | | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Similar sort of form at Roscommon and the Curragh at about this distance; looks capable of winning one of these. |
Not many of these are likely to count and it could be a duel between CASTANETS and Clever And Cute who have achieved the most thus far. They're closely matched through one formline but the selection may have the greater scope for improvement.[Alistair Jones]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(6)  Her Ladyship | | | | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | Andrew McNamara | Won an easy ground maiden at Sligo (5.5f) back in May; decent effort next start in median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); struggled in first two handicaps off 84 and 79 and is now down to 77; drop back to 7f is a plus but may be seen to better effect when back on softer ground. | ||
(2)  Anvika | | | | | | 3 | Robbie Colgan | Ms Sheila Lavery | Winner at Limerick in June off 75 (7f, good); raised 12lb for that win; no impact off revised rating at Leopardstown in July (7f, good) where beaten 6l; dropped 4lb to 83 for that effort but was only ninth of 11 at Cork (7f, good to firm) last time (behind Elinor Dashwood and Kailasa); may need respite from the assessor. | ||
(3)  Elinor Dashwood | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | Adrian McGuinness | Won fillies' handicap over C&D off 75 in June; was 0.75l behind Kailasa when third at Cork on her next start and is 2lb better off with that rival now; beaten 4l last time when seventh of 8 at Leopardstown (1m, good); drop back to 7f and return to this track are positives and she could go well at a price. | ||
4th (9)  Glamorously | | | | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | 2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. | ||
(7)  Lucky Out | | | | | | 3 | Seamie Heffernan | Thomas Mullins | Landed a 7f maiden at Galway in late July (yielding); previously shaped well on handicap debut at Leopardstown where fourth of 10 off 74, beaten 5.25l (7f, good); beaten 4.5l in a Curragh handicap off 78 last time out (6f, good to firm) and down 2lb for that; not totally discounted back at 7f but may prefer an easier surface. | ||
(8)  Bella Colombia | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | W McCreery | Dundalk fillies' maiden win over 6f on debut last year; highly tried at times afterwards; gradually improving in handicaps and last two runs at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) and Bellewstown (1m, good to yielding) were encouraging; career low mark and back in trip but might prefer a bit of cut in the ground. | ||
| 3rd (5) Kailasa | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Consistent filly got off the mark in a Curragh maiden in July (7f, good); fine effort on handicap debut off 78 at Cork where beaten a neck into second (7f, good to firm, Elinor Dashwood and Anvika behind); up 3lb for that run and now wears a hood; leading claims if taking to the new headgear. | ||
2nd (1)  Four Blondes | | | | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Ross O'Sullivan | In-form filly won off 76 at Fairyhouse in July (7f, good); fourth of 13 off 85 upped to a mile eleven days later and was beaten just 0.5l off 83 on latest start at Killarney (8f, yielding to soft); drop back in trip a plus for this keen going sort and she is ground versatile; frame claims again here. | ||
| 1st (4) Vivienda | | | | | | 3 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Well-bred filly won a Fairyhouse handicap in May off 75; third, beaten 0.5l off 81 here in July (1m, good); posted another solid effort when beaten a neck into second last month at Leopardstown off 80 (1m, good); up 2lb for that but should continue to be competitive dropped back to 7f; claims. |
A tricky looking puzzle. Four Blondes is in-form, ground versatile and the drop back to this trip looks a plus for her. There was only 0.75l between Kailasa and ELINOR DASHWOOD when they met at Cork and the latter could turn that form around. She is 2lb better off now, she is a C&D winner and she likes quick ground. Glamorously and Vivienda also have claims in a very competitive race.[Dave Stephens]

10th (6)  Dar Og | | | | | | 4 | Seamie Heffernan | Muredach Kelly | Rated 42 after three poor efforts at triple figure odds in maidens at Galway and Dundalk; off 641 days and tough to make a case for. | ||
7th (10)  Rhasidat | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Patrick J McKenna | Two-time AW winner is 0-6 on turf; hasn't shown enough in two runs for current yard to fancy for this; cheekpieces return. | ||
9th (7)  Eurielle | | | | | | 4 | W J Lee | W McCreery | Definite promise in maidens at Limerick on debut last year (7f, yielding to soft) and at Cork in May (6f, good); well-beaten off 63 and 57 in first two handicaps; her Cork maiden run in May would give her outside place claims but hard to see her winning on these terms. | ||
2nd (9)  Makaiah | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | G M Lyons | No impact in trio of maidens at 7f-8f; signs of life on handicap bow over 1m at Dundalk where beaten 4.5l off 61 (weakened late on); is in good hands, a top 3lb claimer rides and is relatively unexposed but needs more to win this. | ||
5th (2)  Amanirenas | | | | | | 5 | Danny Sheehy | M C Grassick | Five-time winner on good ground; landed a Bellewstown claimer in July (1m, good); no impact back in a handicap at Leopardstown last time out off 70; she has a bit to find at the weights with You Owe Me Money but she'll relish this ground and the return to claiming company is a plus; claims. | ||
8th (5)  Smaoineamh Sile | | | | | | 6 | Jamie Powell | John C McConnell | Handicap winner at Leopardstown off 56 in June (1m1f, good); 1l second over the same C&D on penultimate start off 62; poor at Bellewstown last time; rated just 60 and faces a tough task at the weights. | ||
3rd (8)  Kiki Roberts | | | | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | Noel Meade | 1-7, the win coming in a 5.5f Navan maiden last year on yielding ground; best run since in a Leopardstown handicap last time out off 64 (beaten 3.25l); has a nice low weight here and chance if building on that last effort with talented claimer taking off 3lb; trainer has a 21% strike-rate in claimers. | ||
6th (3)  Beauty Bella | | | | | | 4 | Gavin Ryan | Adrian Murray | Dundalk maiden winner back in February has struggled to make an impact in handicaps since; ran well in a much stronger claimer than this at Leopardstown (7f, good) in August 2023; freshened up since last run and while she is not well treated at the weights, she can't be fully discounted. | ||
1st (4)  Glen Princess | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Lightly raced winner of a C&D maiden back in June (1m, good); no impact in two subsequent runs in handicaps at the Curragh and blinkers are now added to the tongue strap; a danger if she recaptures the form of her maiden win. | ||
4th (1)  You Owe Me Money | | | | | | 6 | Jack Cleary | Gerard O'Leary | Top rated two time course winner for former yard, including at this trip; running well in handicaps this season; beaten 0.5l at Naas off 75 latest (10.5f, good to yielding); her course wins came on easy ground and today's conditions and drop in trip have to be a concern. |
A case can be made for a few of these fillies. You Owe Me Money has won over C&D but her best recent form is over further and she may want softer ground. Glen Princess has also won over C&D and she would have a chance on her best form. Amanirenas and Beauty Bella can't be discounted but a chance is taken on KIKI ROBERTS. Noel Meade has a good record in claimers, she carries a nice weight and it was an encouraging run in a handicap at Leopardstown last time. [Dave Stephens]

(12)  Gallo Dell Cielo | | | | | | 4 | Robyn Donaghue-Leahy | Patrick J Flynn | Friendless 80-1 chance when finishing last on handicap debut here over 7f; off since April. | ||
(14)  Pegula | | | | | | 4 | Wesley Joyce | Timothy Doyle | Hard to know what to expect as she was second of 21 at Leopardstown in July but has been well behind in her three other handicaps; tries a hood. | ||
(13)  St Laurence's Gate | | | | | | 3 | Darragh O'Sullivan | James M Barrett | Ran well in first-time blinkers at Limerick but failed to back that up at Leopardstown; headgear now removed; bit risky. | ||
(15)  Zero Fighter | | | | | | 4 | Kyle Faulkner | E D Delany | Didn't run too badly from a tough draw at Bellewstown last week which came after a break; could feature. | ||
(17)  Lucky Queen | | | | | | 5 | Gabriella Hill | Anthony Mullins | First reserve; 1-22 overall and only ninth on her stable debut here 20 days ago; has done most of her racing over further. | ||
(18)  Mullacash Buzz | | | | | | 6 | Thomas Dowling | Second reserve; knows how to win but doesn't arrive here in the best of form; opposable. | |||
| 4th (16) Lorr's Girl | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Powell | Rodger Sweeney | Hasn't always had the best of luck but no obvious excuses last time and needs to find something. | ||
| (7) Quick Blessing | | | | | | 4 | Robert Whearty | C Moore | No wins in 13 but ran okay behind a hot favourite in a Ballinrobe claimer last time; also threatened off a higher mark last summer at Leopardstown. | ||
(3)  Run The Jewels | | | | | | 7 | Keithen Kennedy | Daniel McLoughlin | Four-time winner, at 7f and 1m; 5f was too sharp last time but others have more compelling claims. | ||
3rd (6)  Monzoon | | | | | | 7 | Patrick McGettigan | R Donohoe | Three-time AW winner who is 1-30 on the grass; well beaten on last week's stable debut. | ||
5th (11)  Jalo | | | | | | 4 | Alyse Clarke | T G McCourt | Coming down the weights but has to step up on this summer's achievements; cheekpieces replace a visor. | ||
(19)  Keilah | | | | | | 4 | W McCreery | Third reserve; 0-10 but was backed on stable debut at Cork and wasn't beaten far after a troubled passage; in the mix if getting in. | |||
(2)  Church Mountain | | | | | | 6 | Daniel King | Denis Gerard Hogan | Four-time winner; bang there off his reduced mark at Naas (7f) and softer ground did for him at Killarney; chance. | ||
2nd (8)  Cherry Pink | | | | | | 4 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | Placed a few times for former yard and off the mark for this one when leading late on at Bellewstown (1m, good to yielding); 7lb rise to contend with. | ||
(4)  Campari Soda | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | D K Weld | Low-mileage filly who responded well to the visor at Killarney last time so surprising to see the refitting of blinkers, in which she was beaten further the time before; still one of the more interesting runners. | ||
1st (10)  Kinda Tiny | | | | | | 4 | Wayne Hassett | Timothy Doyle | Only win came on heavy ground last year when just 1lb higher; only 3l away last time at Naas on yielding; considered. | ||
(1)  Pink Socks | | | | | | 5 | Amy Jo Hayes | Timothy Doyle | Modest strike-rate but her only win came here over 1m in June and has continued to run well; could have had better luck last time; considered. | ||
(5)  I Bid You Ajou | | | | | | 3 | Scott McCullagh | Mark Fahey | Second run for this yard when second of 28 at the Curragh (7f) 17 days ago; that might be his best trip but hard to rule out. | ||
(9)  Pascalia | | | | | | 4 | Rory Mulligan | J P Murtagh | AW winner capable of winning on turf and was keeping on when third at Bellewstown (1m); thereabouts. |
Pink Socks remains in good heart and has to be on the shortlist along with Pascalia, Cherry Pink and Campari Soda. Another who might run well is CHURCH MOUNTAIN who was a closing fourth over 7f at Naas before finding slower ground against him at Killarney.[Alistair Jones]

(10)  Takeachancejimmy | | | | | | 10 | Robbie Colgan | Nigel Thomas Slevin | Winner of seven races, the last in 2022; ran only once last season and was down the field at the Curragh in May. | ||
| 4th (14) Purple Sky | | | | | | 3 | Gabriella Hill | J S Bolger | Well held in her maidens (7f-1m2f) and again on handicap debut at Limerick when trying 1m4f. | ||
(15)  Redemptive Power | | | | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Gavin Cromwell | Ability on debut at Limerick on good to firm; has failed to build on that so far but worth a market check on handicap debut. | ||
(13)  Academy Winner | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | Nearest at the finish in a 7f claimer here three weeks ago and gelded since having changed yards; needs checking in the market. | ||
2nd (11)  Gandolfo | | | | | | 3 | Colin Keane | Noel Meade | Placed in three maidens last year; this campaign has yet to get off the ground but the handicapper is doing his best. | ||
(12)  Moyassr | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | John E & Thomas Kiely | Failed to progress for Owen Burrows after a promising debut and sold on for 3,000gns; gelded since and could be open to some improvement now handicapping for a new yard. | ||
(16)  Alto Sax | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | Peter Fahey | Won claimers over 7f and 1m2f this year; there were tack issues when tailed off last time. | ||
(17)  Lexington Dash | | | | | | 7 | John C McConnell | First reserve; four wins all over shorter trips; this far seems to stretch him; only mid-division eighth at Roscommon on Monday (5.15). | |||
(8)  Blackcastle Storm | | | | | | 7 | Declan McDonogh | Matthew J Smith | Narrow winner at Bellewstown (1m, good) but below that level since and has to get back on track. | ||
| (5) Cordouan | | | | | | 6 | Cian MacRedmond | R Donohoe | Dual AW winner who reportedly appreciated the faster ground when winning in the new visor over 7f here last month; that was a claimer and this looks a tougher task. | ||
(1)  Not Forgotten | | | | | | 4 | Keithen Kennedy | M Halford & T Collins | An AW maiden winner over 1m last winter; has run well on turf but not the last twice; others are in better nick. | ||
(6)  Gotta Catch'em All | | | | | | 4 | Siobhan Rutledge | H Rogers | Showed a bit more in his final maiden here and handicaps are now better options; likely improver. | ||
(2)  Brewel Hill | | | | | | 8 | Gavin Brouder | Peter McCreery | Course winner over further; below par last time but had been running well prior to that; might be high in the weights. | ||
(9)  Ice Cold In Alex | | | | | | 10 | Jamie Powell | K J Condon | Stuck on a losing run but dangerously handicapped and hasn't been running badly this year; each-way claims. | ||
(18)  Orandi | | | | | | 6 | Mrs C O'Leary | Second reserve; five wins in France; hasn't had much luck at Roscommon (twice) and beaten favourite when third there on Monday (5.15). | |||
3rd (4)  Blue Soul | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | G M Lyons | Appreciated the drop back to 1m when a clear second last week at Bellewstown; won't be far away. | ||
(3)  Tachos | | | | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Narrow winner of a 1m1f handicap here in June and nearly followed up at Naas; wasn't disgraced in a big field last time at the Curragh; has to be considered. | ||
| 1st (7) September Leaves | | | | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | 1m maiden winner who has been holding her own in handicaps and would have been closer in the latest one with more luck; should go well provided the new headgear works (has been visored). |
Provided the new headgear doesn't rock the boat and she was fine in a visor, then SEPTEMBER LEAVES could be the answer after not getting the breaks last time. Tachos is another with fewer questions to answer than many of these, while Blue Soul has to be in the mix.[Alistair Jones]
| Info | Form | Odds | Horse Rating | Rating | Weight | OR | Days since last run | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1)  Albert Hirsch | | | | | | 4 | Danny Sheehy | M C Grassick | Beat Hollow gelding beaten long distances in a trio of bumpers on good and soft ground; hard to fancy on Flat debut. | ||
(4)  Make No Plans | | | | | | 6 | Robbie Colgan | Liam G O'Brien | Eight-race maiden under Rules; well beaten in a bumper, over hurdles and on Flat debut at Leopardstown in July; hard to make a case for. | ||
4th (13)  Vadsa Queen | | | | | | 6 | Gary Carroll | N Stokes | Won a good ground bumper when trained by Willie Mullins; well-beaten in first time hood (discarded) on first start for this trainer in a Kilbeggan mares' maiden hurdle; beaten 12l on sole start on flat at Galway for former yard, can only be watched in first time tongue tie. | ||
3rd (12)  Stormalong | | | | | | 6 | J M Sheridan | David Kenneth Budds | Won a handicap hurdle on latest start at Tramore last month off 105; in-form yard and likes good ground but faces some tough opponents on her Flat debut; could outrun her likely odds but probably outside place claims at best. | ||
(7)  Silas Marner | | | | | | 7 | W J Lee | Charles O'Brien | 0-8 in bumpers and hurdles; best efforts have come when he has had cut in the ground but even his peak form is unlikely to be good enough in this company; best watched on first Flat start. | ||
(10)  Hollow Spark | | | | | | 7 | Colin Keane | James M Barcoe | Modest maiden over hurdles and in bumpers; eye-catching jockey booking and ground fine but she is probably best watched on her first Flat start. | ||
(6)  Sherodan | | | | | | 7 | Ben Coen | Peter Fahey | Maiden hurdle winner showed a decent level of ability in that sphere; off 372 days before making Flat debut at Roscommon (1m4f, heavy); that ground was never likely to suit and the run was probably needed; could improve on this sounder surface and can't totally discount. | ||
(3)  Good Time Jonny | | | | | | 9 | Rachael Blackmore | Mrs C O'Leary | Pertemps winner at Cheltenham in 2023; fell in the Irish Grand National on last Jumps start back in April; no impact in two previous runs on Flat and only seventh in Roscommon maiden (5.15 Monday) on his return from a layoff | ||
(11)  Redwood Queen | | | | | | 7 | Adam Caffrey | C Byrnes | Talented hurdler (best RPR 129); yielding ground wouldn't have suited on her first two starts on the Flat at Galway and Tramore, both at 1m4f; steps up in trip and this ground will suit her a lot better; market check advised. | ||
(2)  Fad Eadrainn | | | | | | 6 | Seamie Heffernan | Patrick T Foley | 1-4 in bumpers; beaten around 4.5l on first two starts on the Flat over 1m7f at Leopardstown, both on good ground; slight drop in trip not an obvious plus but has shown enough ability to suggest he can place here. | ||
(8)  Sioux Eagle | | | | | | 5 | Luke McAteer | Patrick T Foley | Ran a nice race on return from a break on handicap debut over this C&D, beaten just 1.25l off 69; even better effort in third in a rated race at Fairyhouse last time (1m6f, good); was just 2l behind Extensio who won a hot handicap at York next time out off 85; has to have a big chance here on that form. | ||
1st (5)  Mr Percy | | | | | | 4 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | French recruit; has gone close on both starts in Flat maidens for this yard, beaten 0.5l over 9.5f at Ballinrobe (good) and then beaten a neck on softer ground at Galway (1m6f); has an obvious chance again. | ||
2nd (9)  Winter Fog | | | | | | 10 | Shane Foley | W P Mullins | Hails from leading yard and very talented over hurdles (best RPR 154); pleasing second behind decent sort on Flat bow at Tramore (2m, good to yielding); has never won on good ground but he is a classy sort; major chance. |
The obvious starting point is Winter Fog. A Grade 3 winner over hurdles, he shaped well on his first Flat start at Tramore and he should be on the premises again. Mr Percy hasn't done much wrong in his two Flat runs for Joseph O'Brien and he is another leading contender. However, SIOUX EAGLE's last run was franked by the winner at York, he has run well over C&D before and he might represent a bit of value against the top two. Redwood Queen is worth checking in the market and Fan Eadrainn could go well at a price. [Dave Stephens]
