Navajo Ridge^b1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld

14/1

First-time blinkers reached for following a 12½L defeat on racecourse debut last month when restrained at the start and never threatening the main protagonists. Improvement expected.

Form: 4

Party Playboy⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A Mullins| OR: 73

4/1

Interesting French recruit. Brother to winners Paradise and Polarsturm. Gelded for stable debut and market likely to reveal expectations here.

Form: 23-2326

Renaissance Man²⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick

16/1

Galileo colt is nicely related to a number of winners. Never nearer in two career starts and not seen since a 3L defeat at Dundalk on the AW in October when in the care of Joseph O'Brien. Others preferred.

Social Bandit⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Doyle| OR: 49

66/1

Has shown relatively little in three starts on the Flat to date well beaten and never a factor on each occasion including on sole start this season. Needs to improve to have a say here.

Form: 68-6

Treasure Chest^b,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 81

2/1

Winning hurdler recently who has not been seen on the Flat since in the care of Aiden O'Brien under the Coolmore banner. Market should be informative.

Bluebells For Love²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

25/1

Nothing of note in two career starts to date including when last seen in October. May find it tough going here on return to the track following lay-off.

Eirene Wind¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: P J Flynn

33/1

Slight improvement from debut run at Limerick in June when finishing second of five in a Roscommon maiden earlier this month. Improvement needed once again in this company.

Form: 02

Holding Pattern^h,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| BF

11/10

Winning performer over hurdles and in a Thurles bumper the Teofilo mare takes her chance on the Flat. Yard in good form on the level, Chocolate Music a winner at the Curragh Sunday.

Little Princess^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 53

50/1

13-race maiden for trainer Jessica Harrington and without a win in four starts on the Flat including a 34L defeat on stable debut earlier in the month. First time cheekpieces inconceivable to produce the required amount of development needed.

Form: 85/8-0

Forecasts

Holding Pattern (11/10), Treasure Chest (2/1), Party Playboy (4/1), Bridge Native (12/1), Navajo Ridge (14/1), Renaissance Man (16/1), Bluebells For Love (25/1), Eirene Wind (33/1), Lorca's Novena (33/1), Little Princess (50/1), Social Bandit (66/1)

With the stable in such good form it can be expected that the Jesicca Harrington-trained HOLDING PATTERN can build on her hurdle starts at Punchestown and Down Royal recently. The J P McManus-owned Treasure Chest not seen on the Flat since in the care of Aiden O'Brien under the Coolmore banner as an 85-rated three-year-old and the first-time blinkered Navajo Ridge who was given a tender introduction at Sligo last month can hit the frame in the closer.
