14/1

September Storm gelding out of a Medaille Millitaire cost €17,000 as a three-year-old. Nothing of note in a couple of bumper starts to date and hard to place any faith in.

Form: 87

Kingston Girl²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

16/1

Can possibly be forgiven most recent start at the Galway festival based on a couple of solid runs behind Beautiful Citi previously. Could go well but liable to be open to a couple more progressive.

Lauramy⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Finn

50/1

Poor in a couple of point-to-point starts when last seen in May. Others look open to more improvement and easily passed over in this contest.

9/2

Son of Scorpion out of a Presenting mare. Sixth foal, dam unraced half-sister to bumper/2m6f and 3m hurdle winner Valentines Lady. Went down by ½L earlier this month behind Stacey Sue but ahead of Clever As A Fox. Open to significant improvement.

Forecasts

Redfield (3/1), Clever As A Fox (7/2), Perpignan (7/2), She'stherightone (9/2), Chead Solas (5/1), Steel Tornado (14/1), Kingston Girl (16/1), Rainy Night Insoho (20/1), Kerry Dawn (33/1), In With Conor (33/1), Morning Echo (33/1), Lauramy (50/1)

The four-year-old REDFIELD has been given plenty of time since his disappointing debut in March when finishing down the field on heavy in a Thurles bumper as the 6/4f and can land the closing race of the meeting here. The selection wont get it all his own way with live rivals Clever As A Fox and She'stherighttone asking the Willie Mullins-trained gelding plenty of questions at the business end of proceedings.
