Pirolo^t⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 64

12/1

In and out sort with a couple of wins already this season, the latest coming in early June at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in an apprentice contest from 6lb lower mark. Off since July so questions to answer here.

Shoofly¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: E J McNamara| T: D H Kelly| OR: 64

33/1

Lone win was a March 2016 maiden at Lingfield. Started well for new trainer but poor last three times and looks too high in the handicap even if at his best.

Form: 822090

Delaire^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 61

20/1

Wore cheekpieces for the first time when taking a 22 runner Leopardstown handicap in August. Ran well on return to the track last time out and worth a look here.

Form: 7-64105

Fianchetto⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 58

66/1

Unplaced in four starts to date and huge price on each occasion. Handicap debut and she looks to have been given too much weight based on poor form in maidens.

Form: 700

Rock On Rosie¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A B Joyce| OR: 57| CD

20/1

Winning hurdler returned to the level when well beaten here over 1m4f ten days ago. Little to recommend based on that effort.

Form: 7-46700

(4)

Cul An Ti¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: E Mullins| OR: 60

20/1

Recently made hurdles debut when finishing fourth of eight. Still a maiden but lone AW run arguably her best albeit over an inadequate 7f. Dropped 12lb during an uninspiring season but could be ready to go well now.

Form: 40-2660

(11)

Go Guarantor^b1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: A Oliver| OR: 60

10/1

Unplaced so far but recent fourth over 1m4f here as good as any of his runs. Eased a further pound and getting close to a competitive mark for the first time.

Form: 66-0404

Mohayyen²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Killian Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 55| BF

12/1

Seems to be improved in three starts for this yard. Didn't quite stay 1m4f here before winning over 1m at Bellewstown and then running respectably off 6lb higher back here at 1m. This trip may prove ideal and not out of this.

Form: 590/515

Molly Kaye¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: S M Duffy| OR: 54

25/1

One promising effort from three in maidens on turf at 1m2½f /1m4f, before disappointing on handicap debut here. 5lb drop must help but would need to improve nonetheless.

Form: 9450

(3)

Ben Rumson¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 53| C

5/4

Dual purpose gelding whose recent flat form is good. Comfortable winner over 1m4f here at the end of September and should go well again despite 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 041161

Jock Talk^t⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J Smullen| T: G Elliott| OR: 54

7/2

Leading jumps trainer well known for improving new recruits and third of 16 on heavy at Limerick further evidence of that. Well beaten on lone start here but was 50/1. Top jockey booked and looks a major player.

Form: 7-30843

(5)

Washington Chief²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: Jane M Foley| OR: 52

33/1

Finished eleventh in all three of her starts so far. Hard to find encouragement for her handicap debut tonight.

Form: 000

Glimmer Of Hope^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: W J Fitzpatrick| OR: 45

16/1

Made the frame for the first time ever last time here when third of 14 at 33/1. Drop in trip this time but a further placed effort would be a result.

Form: 6-04003

Cascar Cavcha^p⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers| OR: 48

16/1

Nine-race maiden and AW debut will need to bring out significant improvement if going to play a leading role (First Reserve).

Form: 68-6057

Forecasts

Ben Rumson (5/4), Jock Talk (7/2), Go Guarantor (10/1), Mohayyen (12/1), Pirolo (12/1), Scealai Aonair (14/1), Glimmer Of Hope (16/1), Cascar Cavcha (16/1), Delaire (20/1), Rock On Rosie (20/1), Cul An Ti (20/1), Molly Kaye (25/1), Streak (25/1), Maladh (25/1), Shoofly (33/1), Washington Chief (33/1), Fianchetto (66/1)

JOCK TALK ran well on his first start for Gordon Elliott before tiring late on in heavy ground over 1f further. This looks ideal distance wise and he could be improving based on that run. Pat Smullen's booking is interesting considering Dermot Weld has a runner and suggests this three-year old must be fancied. Cul An Ti is a maiden but now looks fairly treated and should go well. Ben Rumson is up in the weights but not dismissed for Smullen's big title rival Colin Keane
