Night Of Power^h1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: C O'Donoghue| T: J M Oxx| OR: 82

11/4

Failed to justify a short price on handicap debut at Navan in April. Stuggled over this trip last time on first encounter with quick ground and hood is now reached for.

Form: 421-25

Sheila's Hope^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 71| CD

9/4

Win here last time was the last leg of a hat-trick of wins. Doing so comfortably. Slapped with a 13lb rise in the weights on the back of that but no saying where the progress will end and respected once again.

Form: 970-111

Here For The Craic^p²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: D Budds| OR: 70

11/1

Looked desperately in need of the run on return to action last month. Looks up against it in here again today with these younger legs to contend with.

Form: 365-420

Queluz^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 70

8/1

Struggled off higher marks since winning at Dundalk (1m, AW) in May. Goes up in trip here and needs that to bring about a bit more improvement.

Form: 79-4104

Serefeli¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 68

7/1

Now dropped to his last winning mark and should be cherry ripe now having had two starts. Conditions ideal and is respected.

Form: 2177-45

Vastonea²⁰⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: M L Melia⁽¹⁰⁾| T: K Prendergast| OR: 68| CD

16/1

Previous C&D winner who is lurking on a good mark and tends to go well for this rider. Hasn't been seen since December so probably best watched unless market screams his name.

Santorini Sun^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Lee| T: W T Farrell| OR: 76

11/1

A winner on heavy ground at Sandown on debut but has only beaten a handful of rivals since. Cheekpices that made no real difference last time are persevered with.

Form: 85-8346

(2)

Uno Momento⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: T Mullins| OR: 62

8/1

Yet to win in 12 starts now and although mark continues to drop, he has not suggested that a win is near.

Form: 0200-90

Forecasts

Sheila's Hope (9/4), Night Of Power (11/4), Dawn Hoofer (11/4), Serefeli (7/1), Queluz (8/1), Uno Momento (8/1), Here For The Craic (11/1), Santorini Sun (11/1), Vastonea (16/1)

Serefeli is lurking as a potential improver after a couple of starts and should be cherry ripe now. Dawn Hoofer is respected after her win last time and could have more to offer. It is hard to get away from SHEILA'S HOPE who has rattled off an impressive hat-trick and could go on improving despite the 13lb rise.
