Distance winner who has recently been short of luck finishing runner-up in four of his last five starts. Has conditions to suit here and looks a key player.

Distance winner of a Cork handicap in April before blowing the start but going on to lead after a furlong in a 23-runner handicap at the Curragh when last seen in May. Could go well at a price.

7/1
Running solid races from higher marks than this last summer, poor win-record (2-27) however and lost form towards the end of season. Second of 15 beaten a neck on return to action in a Bellewstown 1m handicap last month. C&D winner needs respect.

C&D winner dropped 2lb for a spin on the beach at Laytown recently when finishing last of 10. Still 6lb higher than his last winning mark and may struggle here.

Not disgraced in a couple of maiden hurdles to date though did finish down the field on each occasion and looking a little one paced in both contests. One from ten on the Flat and hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Rattling Jewel (5/1), Youceeyouceecee (6/1), Ecoeye (7/1), Fair Game (7/1), Count Of Carabass (8/1), Stormy Belle (8/1), Massa Lubrense (8/1), Admirality (8/1), Nothing To Lose (12/1), An Saighdiur (16/1), Stamp Of Authority (25/1), Hitchcock (25/1), Procurator (33/1), Hurricane Twister (33/1), Bluesbreaker (33/1)

Verdict

With something clearly amiss before, during and after his last run at the Curragh in May, AR SAIGHDIUR can go well at a price here with conditions to suit and running just 3lbs higher than last winning mark. The veteran can see off the challenges from Joseph O'Brien's Rattling Jewel, Count Of Carabass and Stormy Belle who won here on Wednesday over C&D and can go well again despite a 6lb higher mark.
