Winner over C&D in November, credible effort a fortnight ago when close up fourth of 11 off a 1lb higher mark. Should be in the mix.

Has won four times on the course, ran well enough over this trip a fortnight ago off current mark to merit consideration in this field.

Previous C&D winner and ran well enough seven days ago over the trip to merit consideration if able to rediscover another bit of sparkle.

Recent form isn't convincing, is dropping back from 2m now but hard to build any sort of confidence at the moment.

Bit disappointing last month in a mile maiden at this track, previous run had been promising over the same trip. New test of stamina this time around.

Is a four-time course winner and has shown some promise in four recent spins around here, including at this trip. Not the most reliable customer but no surprise to see him within striking distance in the closing stages.

Below form when last seen on the Flat at Killarney in August over 1m6f on good to firm ground. Struggled later the same month over hurdles and off since. Has gone close over C&D twice in three prior runs.

No stranger to winning around here but has rather struggled to put it all together of late and needs a bit of a revival.

Been off the track for six months and has won just one of 28 starts on the Flat, just five of those runs have come here and failed to beat a rival home over 2m when last spotted. Down in trip.

Now 11-years-old and remains a maiden after 12 career starts. Well held when last spotted over hurdles at Navan early this month off a 507-day break, has an awful lot to prove to get competitive.

An admirable five-time course winner whose most recent efforts have been strongly suggesting best days are now behind him. Not favoured by these weights.

Runner-up over this C&D three weeks and, racing off the same mark, deserves to be on any shortlist for this contest with chance to build on that effort.

Beat less than 7L over C&D three weeks ago, clearly needs a bit more to stand a chance and is due some relief from the handicapper after this race.

Lightly-raced filly appeared to relish the long trip last time when tackling 1m2f for the first time. Every reason to suspect this further stamina test will be appreciated and should be pitching hard at the death.

Forecasts

Bittern (9/2), Black Label (5/1), Temasek Star (13/2), Repare Mon (8/1), Any Time (8/1), Sea's Aria (8/1), Shake The Bucket (10/1), White Lotus (12/1), Marino Marvel (14/1), Cristy's Call (14/1), Park Row (18/1), Zemario (20/1), Redoute Star (33/1), Stoichkhov (50/1)

Verdict

A wide open contest to conclude proceedings and it may be worth siding with REPARE MON over this longer trip. She's run a pair of decent races lately and appeared to relish the longer distance last time out. With more ground to cover now and scope for improvement after just five runs, she can get the job done. Black Label ran well here a fortnight ago and has won over C&D this season making him a contender while similar comments apply to Bittern after last week's improved showing. Any Time showed three weeks ago that she can be a threat and it will be no surprise should she land place money. Sea's Aria, on old form, is worth a market check while Cristy's Call would have claims on a good day.
