First-time visor looks to have improved the eight-year-old last time out when finishing third of 13 beaten 1¼L at Dundalk earlier this month on the AW. More needed here to figure.

Last seen over hurdles on his last two starts. Not much to shout about in six Flat starts and will need to improve a chunk to play a role here.

C&D winner in Listed company in June and had been a little disappointing in two starts since, before finishing last of six beaten 34Lin the Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown in August.

Had produced a number of solid performances over the summer including in the Group 3 Snow Fairy Fillies stakes at the Curragh and the Group 3 Enterprise Stakes at Leopardstown. Off the the boil in tow recent starts and has to regain his form.

Solid and consistent over the summer with 1L defeat behind Eziyra in the Group 3 Enterprise Stakes at Leopardstown last month. Likely to be a warm order here.

Ran well at two listed races and the Group 3 Gallinule stakes at the Curragh when finishing third of nine in May. Well beaten on last start in June and will need to improve to take a hand in this.

Galway winner over an extended 1m last month but has disappointed in a handicap contest since and the Listed Garnet stakes at Naas earlier this month beaten 10L. Others make more appeal today.

11-race maiden who has taken a step forward on his last two starts at Galway and a ¾L defeat last time out in the Listed Bluebell stakes at Naas earlier this month. More needed here to play a role.

Kept on well to assert late on at Tipperary on her second start over 1m1f, subsequently well beaten at Naas in the Listed Bluebell stakes and may find this tough.

Forecasts

Cannonball (6/4), Bound (5/1), Glamorous Approach (6/1), Song Of Namibia (7/1), Longing (8/1), Grandee (8/1), Finn McCool (8/1), Sister Blandina (14/1), Johann Bach (25/1), Play The Game (66/1)

Verdict

Grandee from stall eight can eventually join Finn McCool from the one gate to make the early running here with Play The Game and Glamorous Approach close up behind the leaders. Bound is expected to improve on her last two starts and Grandee can battle for minor honours while preference is for the 105-rated colt CANNONBALL, hoping to improve on his last two rock-solid runs.
  1. Cannonball
  2. Grandee
  3. Bound
