Mcguigan^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D M Hannigan⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 75| D

10/1

Running on strongly last month at the Curragh over 1m on return from a break, should appreciate this longer trip but heavy going an unknown variable.

Form: 8068-26

Roibeard^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D E Hogan⁽⁴⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 75

5/1

Step in the right direction last week over C&D in heavy ground when 2½L third of 11 in heavy ground. Can get involved here with repeat showing.

Shes An Art¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Barrett| OR: 74

8/1

Consistency is not her forte, as evidenced over C&D last week (behind some of these) when failing to back up a decent effort over 1m2f at Roscommon previously. Depends which version shows up.

Make It Hurrah⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 74

12/1

One win from nine on the Flat came over this sort of trip on heavy at Cork in April, struggling since on the level and high enough in the weights, poor effort this week over hurdles at Listowel.

Uno Momento^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: T Mullins| OR: 71

7/1

Solid effort here earlier in the month on heavy over 7f, stays the mile no problem, first time attempting this longer trip and must be considered.

Grand Voile⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Leonard| T: J G Murphy| OR: 63

16/1

Well beaten all four starts in France, unruly leaving the stalls on debut for this yard over a mile here on good ground in July, market check needed now.

Binary Code²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D W O'Connor| T: J J Murphy| OR: 66

5/1

Nine-race maiden but has run some credible races and picked up place money in that sequence, including here over 1m on soft ground in April. Not ruled out.

Lucky Mistake¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁴⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 66

10/1

Winner of a Pontefract maiden in October 2016 over 6f on soft ground, been to France since where failed in two runs. Worth a market check for new trainer, tackling this sort of trip for the first time.

Form: 018-607

Go Guarantor¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Coakley| T: A Oliver| OR: 65

33/1

Often slow to get away from the gates, nothing in five-race career to date to warrant support in this race.

Form: 066-04

No Way Jack^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis⁽⁴⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 57

8/1

Finished 1L second of 17 over C&D last month on soft ground, didn't go as well as next time at Navan but clear chance if able to reproduce prior effort now back here.

Beat Of The Sea³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Breslin⁽⁴⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 61

33/1

Mostly poor showings in five starts so far, minor glimpse of promise in 1m soft ground Killarney maiden last month but even that needs to be built on considerably.

Form: 0-8036

Musical Jewel^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: O J Orr| T: S Lynam| OR: 56

11/1

Best effort to date came last time over 1m2f (yielding) at Navan when fourth of 23 under this pilot. Challenged there and could build on that showing.

Form: 90-6904

Lizard Point^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: R P Downey| T: P J Flynn| OR: 54

10/1

A 15-race maiden now, was threatening earlier in the summer, including close second over 1m4f at Cork on soft ground at Cork in August. Two runs since have been backwards steps and now needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Roibeard (5/1), Binary Code (5/1), Uno Momento (7/1), Shes An Art (8/1), No Way Jack (8/1), Lucky Mistake (10/1), Lizard Point (10/1), Mcguigan (10/1), Musical Jewel (11/1), Make It Hurrah (12/1), Grand Voile (16/1), Mack Miller (25/1), Beat Of The Sea (33/1), Go Guarantor (33/1)

Binary Code has produced some good efforts in defeat so far and could have the winning of a race like this while Uno Momento will handle these conditions based on last month's run here over a shorter trip, both are worth considering. Roibeard also deserved a mention having gone well last week over C&D while the inconsistent Shes An Art could get involved if in the right mood. NO WAY JACK is another for whom consistency is a problem but he was close second over C&D on penultimate start and, having looked like getting a win on occasions this term, is worth a chance despite a no-show at Navan since.
