Black Agnes^b¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D E Sheehy⁽²⁾| T: L Smyth| OR: 64| CD

8/1

Best efforts in 15-race career have all come over this C&D, including winning apprentice contest in October 2016, since close up on couple of occasions and not out of things on that basis.

Form: 206734

Beau Satchel^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: R P Downey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63| BF| CD

7/2

Mostly been defied by the handicapper in turf runs this year, though continues to give his running. On a very appealing mark for this return to AW if able to produce anything like best form and has won over C&D before.

Form: 466775

Society Ranger^p⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Davis⁽⁴⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 62

16/1

Won a Wolverhampton extended 1m handicap in June, is rated 8lb higher for this and but has run credibly in both outings off this mark since and not ruled out.

Form: 010146

Reddot Express^p,t⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D E Hogan⁽²⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 61| CD

25/1

Quirky character, his sole win from 19 starts came in this race a year ago, since then he's twice left his rider at the start and was uncompetitive in three summer starts including this C&D in July. Safer to look elsewhere.

Form: U-7U008

All The Mollies²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Killian Leonard| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 61

6/1

Narrow winner of 7f Listowel handicap last month (heavy), is on a career-high mark now back on the AW and previous form in three attempts here isn't inspiring.

Form: 681251

Magwadiri^t⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: P D Deegan| OR: 61| D

8/1

Well beaten over 7f and 1m on just two visits to the track last year. Will need to step up on those performances to land a blow here.

Form: 287315

Shawami^t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 59

16/1

Now a 13-race maiden beaten 5¾L last time out in a Navan handicap over 1m2f. Stable's runners are pretty consistent at the moment, though was well beaten over C&D in May from 2lb higher.

Blankiedoodie⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D W O'Connor| T: J C McConnell| OR: 54| BF

12/1

Best effort to date came off the back of an absence in July at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) when close second and may have found his run last time coming a little too soon. First AW start, may pay to watch betting.

Form: 9078-25

Sea Captain³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D M Redmond⁽²⁾| T: A Lee| OR: 54

33/1

Better effort last month in 7f maiden on the sand at Laytown when racing prominently, before fading. Ultimately has plenty to prove still.

Form: 9/9S0-04

(14)

Little White Owl^b,t⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: D Marnane| OR: 53

9/1

Lightly-raced filly, ran a stormer at the Curragh in August in 30-runner handicap, coming home close fifth having gone off 50/1. She runs off same mark now for this AW bow.

Form: 00405

Annagassan^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁴⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 45

25/1

Yet to win in 20 starts and has only placed once in that time. Well beaten again over 6f at Laytown last month and hard to fancy, though has shaped well enough around here at times before.

Form: 848008

Templemary Boy⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Gary Halpin| T: P W Flynn| OR: 45

4/1

Sent off big prices in all three maidens at everything from 6f-1m2½f, without ever threatening. Well held in both handicaps so far over 1m but mark is plummeting towards the basement and not to be discounted on AW bow.

Form: 06094

Yes I Am^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Breslin⁽⁴⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 45| C

20/1

Only career win came in 7f maiden here on debut in February 2014, rarely threatened since for succession of handlers and three turf runs for this yard haven't offered great respite, down in trip once again.

Form: 930-869

Seeking Truth^p⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S Corby| T: Thomas J Farrell| OR: 51| C

25/1

Won over 7f here in November off a mark of 47, poor in both runs since including in July over this trip on sole outing this year to date. Hard to recommend (First Reserve).

Forecasts

Beau Satchel (7/2), Templemary Boy (4/1), All The Mollies (6/1), Indian Tomahawk (15/2), Magwadiri (8/1), Black Agnes (8/1), Little White Owl (9/1), Blankiedoodie (12/1), Gold Eliza (14/1), Shawami (16/1), Society Ranger (16/1), Yes I Am (20/1), Annagassan (25/1), Seeking Truth (25/1), Reddot Express (25/1), Desert Train (25/1), Sea Captain (33/1)

BEAU SATCHEL has been in the clasp of the handicapper on turf this season but he has a chance to hit back now on this surface from a reduced rating. He's 4lb below his previous C&D winning mark and from a plumb draw should be up to mounting a serious challenge. Little White Owl ran a stormer in a big field handicap at the Curragh in August over this trip and, from the mark, rates a danger of taking to this surface first time out. Magwadiri has been in decent form on turf and may be capable of an improved showing back here as a result while Templemary Boy is one that could improve off a very low rating.
