Golden Footsteps³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 70

9/1

Seven race maiden and held when debuting for this yard over 7f at Listowel (good) last month. Worth a check in the market stepping up in distance.

Form: 390-267

(7)

Tiny Tempest¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 69| D

11/1

Victorious over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton on final start for previous yard. Disappointing in two starts for this stable and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 5551-90

(9)

So Enjoy^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: J Nash| OR: 65

14/1

Placed twice from nine starts and beaten just 1¼L on her penultimate start at Leopardstown (7f, good-to-firm) in first time cheekpieces. Blinkers worn for the first time upped in trip having disappointed last time.

Form: 52-4048

(3)

Conquest²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 63

3/1

Failed to trouble the judge in five starts and stepping up slightly in trip with better ground forecast likely to suit on this occasion.

Form: 56005-

Liffeydale Dreamer^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: A Keatley| OR: 60

3/1

Broke her maiden when winning on handicap debut over 1m2f at Ballinrobe (good) recently. One to note dropping slightly in trip following a 3lb rise in the weights.

Form: 0001

(8)

Talk Now¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Webb| OR: 58

20/1

Promising fourth over 7f on debut for this yard at Gowran Park (good-to-firm) last month. Has run well over further in the past.

Form: 53734

(6)

Stormy Tale^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 56

9/2

Victorious over 7f at Sligo (yielding) in May. Best effort since came when finishing third at Leopardstown (1m, good-to-firm) two weeks ago and the step up in distance is in her favour.

Form: 3-21073

(4)

Chaparral Dream^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: N G McCullagh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 49

5/1

Placed twice on the AW and not beaten far when finishing fifth at Leopardstown (1m, good-to-firm) last time out. Wears cheekpieces for the first time.

Rip Rocks Paddy Ok²⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Alan Persse⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 46

20/1

Well beaten in three starts on soft and heavy ground at two. Probably best watched stepping up in trip on handicap and seasonal debut.

Form: 780-

Forecasts

Liffeydale Dreamer (3/1), Conquest (3/1), Stormy Tale (9/2), Chaparral Dream (5/1), Golden Footsteps (9/1), Tiny Tempest (11/1), So Enjoy (14/1), Talk Now (20/1), Rip Rocks Paddy Ok (20/1), New Vocation (20/1)

STORMY TALE has placed over further in the past and having run well last time out she can record a second career success in this competitive handicap. The selection has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit here and can see of Conquest who has been unsuited by the going in her most recent starts. Liffeydale Dreamer, a recent winner over slightly further looks capable of finishing third.
