Like A Demon¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin| OR: 93

10/1

Has run some very promising races over timber over the last 12 months since returning to action for this yard, without getting a win. Deserves a change of luck and hard to dismiss in such modest company.

Form: 42034-4

Bronco Bill²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Reynolds⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 92

6/1

Looked in need of further when third in first time headgear at Down Royal (2m6f) last month and may have found the ground against him at Listowel. Drop back to 2m4f raises doubts and the blinkers are removed.

Form: 80/5237

Don't Be Hasty³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Nicole McKenna| OR: 92

10/1

Runner-up on debut in June 2015 but has been a huge disappointment since. Hard to fancy on current evidence.

Form: 00P-8P0

Clonearl⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 90

20/1

Moderate form so far but has few miles on the clock and may improve for her first run in a handicap.

Form: 0009-8

Western Goose⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: B Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 88| CD

20/1

Scored under this rider over C&D in January off 2lb lower. Has made little impression since but appeared to be going the right way last week. Reportedly prone to bursting blood vessels.

Form: 01-6007

Artic Pearl^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R Loughran| T: M Brassil| OR: 87

9/4

€75,000 purchase as a three-year-old who has been sparingly campaigned. Travelled strongly here in April on return from a year off and again ran well until lack of a run told at Listowel three weeks ago. Could give a good account in this company.

Form: 0066/6-8

Chance It^t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: P Corkery| OR: 87

14/1

Fortunate second beaten 23L nine days ago but nevertheless appears to be finding his level. Still looks likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 737362

Something Sweet^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Mullins| T: R J McGrath| OR: 85

8/1

Lightly raced mare who took a big leap forward at Wexford last month. Extra half-mile should help and she will be a big player in this mediocre race.

Form: 067357

Wiiphania³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin⁽³⁾| T: T J Taaffe| OR: 84

8/1

Looked unlucky at Listowel (2m4f, yielding) in June and best run since came at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) a month later. Not as good since but this looks easier.

Form: 0-40309

Cantkidakidder^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 83| D

15/2

Appreciated the quicker surface when bouncing out and making all to score at Wexford two weeks ago. Kept pulling out extra when challenged that day and a 3lb rise seems fair enough.

Form: 762751

Lady Quill^h,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: I J McCarthy| T: N Lawlor| OR: 81

33/1

Yet to go off shorter than 25/1 and never nearer than 26L to the winners of her seven races to date. Needs to improve greatly.

Form: 0/5057-8

Mystic Embarr^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D Broad| OR: 81

25/1

No worthwhile form so far but interesting to see stronger handling employed after three runs under conditional riders.

Form: 00-0669

Paddy's Orient¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C M Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 81

14/1

Six race maiden who has been struggling to get home in his races over distances between 2m-2m4f. Better ground may help but looks risky none the less.

Form: 009-097

Barney King^b,t³⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Carr| OR: 80| D

33/1

Veteran is well-handicapped on old form. Will strip fitter for his first run in a year and blinkers go back on. Beaten 75L that day and clearly needs to improve greatly.

Form: 9/5572-0

Lizzies Way^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: S Ryan| OR: 80

33/1

Showed some ability 2014-2015 but three runs this year do not suggest she is ready to mount a challenge in this.

Form: 740/P-60

Dromore Lad³⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 85

25/1

No show in three starts and has joined an in form yard. Listed for this as first reserve.

ARCTIC PEARL has caught the eye on his last two starts following absences. He has travelled strongly until lack of a run has told and this will be his first race when fully tuned up. There are races to be won with this expensive purchase and this looks a good place to start. Something Sweet stepped up on previous displays last time and has more scope than many in this, whilst Wiiphania was unlucky not to open her account in June and this represents her best chance since of gaining compensation.
