Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E Lynam| OR: 65

12/1

Eight-race maiden who has hit the frame on a couple of occasions including last time when a promising third of 18 behind Lost Treasure at the Curragh. One for the shortlist.

Landline^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 60| D

9/2

Consistent gelding by Vocalised who got her deserved change of luck when getting his head in front in a Roscommon 7f handicap earlier this month off a 4lb lower mark following a couple of near-misses recently. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 114031

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W J Lee| T: D Marnane| OR: 58

10/1

Got back to winning ways in a 7½f Tipperary handicap last month off 3lb lower mark on good ground. Gives the impression there is more to come.

Hatton Cross^p⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 56| D

14/1

Winner over 7½f at Roscommon last month beating 12 rivals and Massa Lubrense ½L off a 3lb lower mark. Beaten on a couple of occasions since but still holds strong place claims.

Form: 400154

Littlevix⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 56

5/1

Produced a Flat turf carrer best in nine starts when running Landline to a couple of lengths in a 7f Roscommon handicap earlier this month. Noted but needs to improve.

Form: 43-0903

Pillar⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 55

10/1

Snapped a long losing sequence when fending off Little Clarinet by a head at Bellewstown off a 2lb lower mark but made no impression on the leaders on the beach at Laytown recently. Dropped 2lb for that defeat and shortlisted here.

Form: 829413

Polly Douglas¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 54| D

6/1

Struggling to get her head in front, but running consistently well in a number of displays since July but plenty of work to do in this company.

Form: 753945

(11)

Invincible Queen^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 51

7/1

Comes here in fine form following a couple of near misses since June. Trainer has won this race twice in the last three years with Jealika and a market check is advised here.

Form: 5-84242

(9)

Intense Stylist^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Colin Keane| T: A Moriarty| OR: 50| C

9/1

One win in 32 starts while four runs this season had been underwhelming before a promising third of 15 beaten a little over 2L in a 1m Killarney handicap on good ground last month. Needs to improve once again.

Form: 9-00003

(10)

Taras Way^p⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 48

20/1

Generally well held in a series of stuttering performances since April. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 080487

Randall's Alannah⁵⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 46

66/1

Disqualified after winning at Chelmsford in February (1m Class 7), but has a patchy career profile overall, punctuated by various lengthy absences from racing.

Form: 27/D600-

(4)

S P B Lucky^t⁴¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Collins| OR: 45

50/1

Seven-race maiden shaped well for a long way on recent return from 373 days off at Tipperary before finishing seventh of 15 at Gowran Park, though only beaten 2½L in a bunch finish when last seen in July.

Form: 0907/87-

(12)

Iceni¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: C P Hoban| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 46

25/1

Appeared to be heading the right way in two spins at Cork and Tipperary in May. Looks to be open to plenty of improvement if ready to roll off the break now.

Form: 000-942

(6)

My Lark²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 45

28/1

Nothing of note in four dismal career starts before much promise on handicap debut over 6f at Dundalk last month. Unlikely to transfer that form to turf.

Form: 90-993

Forecasts

Landline (9/2), Littlevix (5/1), Polly Douglas (6/1), Invincible Queen (7/1), Intense Stylist (9/1), Pillar (10/1), Cracking Name (10/1), Hot Stone (12/1), Hatton Cross (14/1), Taras Way (20/1), Art World (20/1), Tide Of Time (20/1), Iceni (25/1), My Lark (28/1), Double Czech (33/1), S P B Lucky (50/1), Randall's Alannah (66/1)

The Thomas Cleary trained LANDLINE can confirm the places with a few of these when winning a 15-runner 7f Roscommon handicap earlier this month off 4lb lower mark. Pillar should be noted in the betting following his winning of a Bellewstown 5f handicap last month off just a 2lb lower mark. Polly Douglas and the 'handily' handicapped Invincible Queen are capable of hitting the frame.
