BBQ & Music Evenings Handicap (45-65)

Off time: 18:33 | Winning time: 1m 10.36s

(15)

Ahundrednotout^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 60

6/1

Has form over further but 5f has appeared to be his best trip. Cheekpieces had a positive effect here nine days ago and he has each-way claims in a poor race.

Form: 19-0003

(10)

Mr Shelby^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: E J McNamara| T: S Donohoe| OR: 58| D

25/1

Ayr winner on penultimate start who was harshly reassessed afterwards and no surprise to see him struggle at Limerick.

Form: 509710

(18)

Gopsies Daughter²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Killian Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 57| BF

7/1

Navan winner was behind a few of these next time and has it all to do this time off a tougher mark.

Form: 602210

(3)

A Likely Story^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 56

8/1

Record of 1-29 and that victory came over 7f. Obvious concerns on that criteria, but well enough drawn to have a say given how well he is holding his form.

Form: 710935

(7)

Rag Tatter^e/s1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: A Mulholland| OR: 56

25/1

18-race maiden has shown enough in the past to be considered a contender, but he needs to step up considerably on what he has shown for this yard. Eye-shield tried.

Form: 074-070

(4)

Rising Eagle^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: A Keatley| OR: 56

8/1

Big run at Navan and this slightly longer trip should be in his favour. On the same mark and top jockey retains the mount.

Form: 6/040-02

(12)

Time Stands Still^h1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: W J Martin| OR: 55

16/1

Having her sixth run since the end of April but has been running with great promise and deserves a change of luck following close defeats at Cork and Gowran Park recently. Better than her last run and hood replaces blinkers.

Form: 234430

(11)

Dash D'Or^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: K P Cotter| OR: 50

25/1

Intermittent glimpses of ability but not enough to carry any confidence at this stage. Tongue-tie fitted on this occasion.

Form: 07-050

(14)

Landline^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: T Cleary| OR: 50| D

7/1

Dual winner on soft ground last autumn and below his last winning mark. Positive signs here last time when seeming to handle the quicker conditions. Stable have ben among the winners.

Form: 100-086

(20)

Downtown Diva⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: J Davison| OR: 56

8/1

20-race maiden went close at Sligo (7f,good-to-yielding) and equally at home over this trip. Not many come into this in peak condition.

Form: 345052

(17)

Baile An Roba^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: Mrs P Dobbs| OR: 45

33/1

Seven-race maiden who is yet to finish in the top half. Blinkers made no appreciable difference at Roscommon last time, but this shorter trip might.

Form: 908000

(13)

Blue Bounty^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 45| D

33/1

2-46 record and has hardly beaten a rival in two starts for this yard. Has little realistic chance on current form and from out of the handicap.

Form: 30-7000

(16)

Guiding Star^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: C O'Donoghue| T: P J McKenna| OR: 45| D

33/1

Holds a 1-26 career record and has gone off the boil since a couple of fair efforts in May/early June.

Form: 9-04396

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M J Browne| OR: 45| D

Nightflight^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 45

15/2

Take away his runs on soft surfaces to reveal a consistent performer who is down to a good mark from a handy draw.

Form: 94-8075

(2)

Oor Jock^b²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Manning| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45| CD

Seeking Truth^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Michael G Cleary| OR: 45

Age: 12| Weight: 8-11| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Hassett| OR: 45| D

La Novia⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford| OR: 45

Lady Sandy^v1⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Fogarty| OR: 60

33/1

15-race maiden who has only made the frame once. Visor tried, but cheekpieces and blinkers have made no difference to her. First reserve.

Forecasts

Ahundrednotout (6/1), Landline (7/1), Gopsies Daughter (7/1), Nightflight (15/2), A Likely Story (8/1), Downtown Diva (8/1), Rising Eagle (8/1), Oor Jock (11/1), Time Stands Still (16/1), La Novia (16/1), Tush (16/1), Mr Shelby (25/1), Rag Tatter (25/1), Dash D'Or (25/1), Guiding Star (33/1), Baile An Roba (33/1), Seeking Truth (33/1), Blue Bounty (33/1), More Kudos (33/1), Thats A Fret (33/1), Lady Sandy (33/1)

NIGHTFLIGHT is well-drawn and running to a standard that gives him every chance to open his account off a career low mark. Rising Eagle has plenty going for him as does Landline, whilst Ahundrednotout was better last time in cheekpieces and has an each-way shout.
