Vanderbilt^h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 76

25/1

Finished last of 12 earlier this month on stable bow over 7f at the Curragh. That did come off a 212-day layoff but has plenty to find on form seemingly if hoping to land this contest.

Form: 53334-0

Cloudy Miss¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: M Halford| OR: 69| D

10/3

Filly going the right way recently, getting off the mark over this trip at Bellewstown 11 days ago on good ground. Claiming rider offsets good portion of the penalty imposed for that success and should go well again.

Form: 388-031

(13)

Looking Good Carol^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: J G Murphy| OR: 65

16/1

Beaten 8L over 7f on handicap debut at Gowran Park recently, had shown glimpses of ability previously in maidens but a watching brief looks best for now.

Form: 39400

(11)

Always Dancing¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 63

9/2

Held in both handicaps run so far, drops in trip now and gets another 2lb back, hasn't got that much improving to do in order to get right in the mix and could well find more on just her sixth start.

Form: 78445

(15)

Empress Lyla¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: S Lavery| OR: 63

7/2

Beat 16 rivals on seasonal reappearance to win 7f Fairyhouse handicap and open her account. Not disgraced this month at Gowran Park under a penalty when close fourth of 15 again over 7f and on good ground. Up in distance and off the same mark, cannot be discounted.

Form: 9902-14

Lady Rosebud⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: P Martin| OR: 63| D

16/1

Both wins have come on the AW at Dundalk, impression persists that she is in the clutches of the handicapper for now on turf.

Form: 4-11595

Great Uncle^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Manning| T: B W Duke| OR: 62

33/1

Maiden form was unimpressive and went out like a lightbulb in recent handicap bow at Naas over 1m2f having raced prominently. First-time tongue tie is added now but looks one to be wary of at this point.

Form: 7-890

(6)

Richard Strauss^p,t1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C R King| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 62| D

12/1

Has tended to find things hard going in turf handicaps over 1m/1m1½f recently, continues to drop in the ratings as a result and yard are in good form but left with something to prove at the moment despite first-time tongue tie going on.

Form: 671706

(12)

Secret Memories^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 59| D

12/1

Was in fine fettle in low-grade mile handicaps at Bath and Wetherby in May/June but has struggled a bit over longer trips Gowran Park and Naas this month already. Is feasibly weighted to give this a push now back down in distance.

Form: 042176

Seapoint^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 57

8/1

Nine-race maiden now, latest two of those starts coming since switching to this yard. Trainer not enjoying same run of form as earlier in the campaign and this one looks to need a bit of time perhaps.

Form: 06-0846

(4)

Magwadiri^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: P D Deegan| OR: 55

14/1

Ran a big race on seasonal bow at Gowran Park (7f, good) but hasn't been able to repeat it or build on it in two further runs, up against it again here in all probability.

Form: 088-287

(7)

Elzaa¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Mcallister| OR: 51

20/1

Positives have been hard to come by in six runs this season, latest being a 17¾L defeat over extended mile at Gowran Park a fortnight ago. Will require a significant improvement to have a forward role in this.

Form: 036040

(3)

Poetical Dreamer^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: H Rogers| OR: 45

33/1

Unplaced in five starts so far and beaten combined total of almost 40L in two handicaps over this sort of trip recently. Has major improvement to uncover racing from 2lb out of the handicap.

Form: 06-900

Forecasts

Cloudy Miss (10/3), Empress Lyla (7/2), Always Dancing (9/2), Border Prince (5/1), Seapoint (8/1), Lady Clinch (8/1), Richard Strauss (12/1), Secret Memories (12/1), Magwadiri (14/1), Lady Rosebud (16/1), Looking Good Carol (16/1), Elzaa (20/1), Vanderbilt (25/1), Poetical Dreamer (33/1), Great Uncle (33/1)

CLOUDY MISS appeared to have a good deal up her sleeve when winning at Bellewstown 11 days ago. She's been duly raised for that win but her claiming rider will offset some of that burden and they may be set for another success here. It is something of a worry whether or not Border Prince will transfer recent Dundalk form to turf, but he'll go well should he manage it. Empress Lyla is in a good place and should be competitive once more while cases can be made for Lady Clinch and Secret Memories.
