Commander Won^p,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 61

5/2

Stable in-form and the gelding has put in some fairly solid performances over the summer without winning. May have to settle for much of the same here.

Form: 4-03647

Konig Hall^p,t¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: K J Manning| T: A McCann| OR: 61

4/1

Genuine and tough sort who has ran steadily over the summer including second of 13 beaten a head last time out here. Yet to win from five starts at the track but can go well tonight.

Form: 309-142

Orchard Road¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hayes| OR: 58

Veteran who finished 12th of 13 on his debut on the AW finishing behind a few of these. Others hold stronger profiles.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Smullen| T: R K Watson| OR: 56| D

9/4

Won a Newcastle class 6 handicap when well backed last month beating 11 rivals by 2L. Raised 5lb for that win and can go well again with first-time visor retained.

Form: 400-001

Buddha's Secret³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: D Cullen| OR: 53

12/1

Well beaten and no impression, being over-whelmed in recent performances, including a 22L defeat last time out. Difficult to see a turnaround in fortunes in this company.

Form: 850-950

Schindlers Ark¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 58

33/1

Well beaten in three AW maiden events here including in first time blinkers, before finishing last of 12 beaten 31L last time out in Limerick handicap in April. Will need the run on return to the track.

20/1

Ran well in the spring and early summer but disappointed on his last appearance when 10th of 12 beaten 31L in a Down Royal handicap. Others arrive here in better form.

Great Uncle^b,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: B W Duke| OR: 53

20/1

Has largely toiled putting in second-rate performances over the summer. Finished 10th of 13 beaten over 6L here last month. Very little to be positive here.

Form: 890000

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Shane Foley| T: W J Fitzpatrick| OR: 45

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Delcros| OR: 45

14/1

Eight race maiden who was thereabouts on a couple of occasions at here in the spring. Had a 'pipe-opener' when well beaten at Navan last time out. One for each way backers.

Mallory Heights^b,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 45| D

20/1

You have to go back to December 2013 to find his most recent success. Not a lot to shout about more recently and looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 05B049

Dravid³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: E D Delany| OR: 48

20/1

Famous Name gelding has been mostly uncompetitive in nine starts on the Flat including a 17L last of eight defeat last timeout at Fairyhouse in July. Tough ask and others preferred.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: D English| OR: 45

50/1

Unplaced in seven-race career, beaten 21L last month at Bellewstown in 1m claimer. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a leading role in this.

Forecasts

British Art (9/4), Commander Won (5/2), Konig Hall (4/1), Buddha's Secret (12/1), Jessamine (12/1), Law Equity (14/1), Shoofly (16/1), Great Uncle (20/1), Mallory Heights (20/1), Caminel (20/1), Dravid (20/1), Asian Wing (20/1), Spinning Pearl (20/1), Glimmer Of Hope (33/1), Schindlers Ark (33/1), Ebbageena (50/1), Orchard Road (50/1)

Caminel under the talented Killian Leonard may well make the early running here from stall one and could well hang on for a place. Commander Won has put in some fairly solid performances over the summer without winning and Konig Hall can battle to hit the frame but preference is for BRITISH ART who can build on thrilling Newcastle win last time out under Pat Smullen.
