Two wins this season already over shorter trip (1m2f) and was edged out over 1m4f (good) at Fairyhouse last month. Should be in the mix again.

Running decent races in three starts this season, beaten 5L over 1m4f at Fairyhouse last time out. First-time blinkers on now and merits some consideration.

Fairly modest in trio of maidens at 1m/1m2f so far, sports first-time blinkers for this handicap debut and could easily improve. Trainer continues to send out winners and this one is worth a market check.

Cost 32,000 gns as a yearling, there hasn't been much to shout about in three maidens, two in Britain and stable bow for this trainer at Tipperary (7½f, good) last month. Makes handicap debut now and isn't written off yet.

Heavy-ground maiden winner at Sligo last summer over 7f, routinely been outgunned in handicaps at up to 1m1½f this season and now tackles this longer trip for the first time.

Yard are going well at the moment but has it all to prove on form shown thus far. Comfortably dismissed in handicaps at Limerick and Leopardstown over this sort of trip.

Nine-race maiden, six of them on turf, she hasn't been all that far away of late including when beaten under 2L in second over 1m4f at Fairyhouse in May. Hasn't really built on that in two runs since but is just 2lb higher and yard in fine form.

Didn't show too much in three quick-fire maidens to achieve this opening handicap mark. Yard in good for and one of three for the trainer in this, there could be more to come.

Well beaten in two AW handicaps at up to a mile, goes up in trip for this switch to turf and has a first-time tongue strap on. Looks best watched for now.

Run to similar level in both handicap starts thus far, over 1m/1m2f at Leopardstown. Should act on the ground but needs to improve to have a chance.

Nothing in six runs to date to warrant supporting for this, tackles longer trip for the first time but seemingly has a lot on his plate.

Improved effort last time at Naas (1m2f, good) when beaten around 4L, has to build on that again to figure in the finish but could be capable of doing so.

Easily brushed aside in all three handicaps this season, goes up in trip for this and sports first-time cheekpieces but has a lot of work to do.

Forecasts

Inescapable (9/2), Marvellous Ways (5/1), Grey Waters (5/1), Steelyeyed (5/1), Cristal Icon (15/2), Miss Snossyboots (10/1), Aldawayfornothing (12/1), Autumn Breeze (14/1), French Mix (16/1), Cosimo Medici (16/1), Jose Echegaray (18/1), Foxy Lass (20/1), Endless Endeavour (25/1), Acclamatio (33/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's team are in fine form lately and he has a strong hand here with three runners. Grey Watters looks most likely on the form book but French Mix and Inescapable are also worth noting in the betting. Marvellous Ways doesn't need a lot more to get in the mix, while Aldawayfornothing is another potential improver. STEELEYED didn't run up to her best for one reason or another at the Curragh last time (yielding ground may have been a factor) but her previous runs at Fairyhouse would give her solid claims here and she might be able to bounce back on this sounder surface.
