(5)

Doonard Prince^b³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 65| CD

10/1

Triple C&D winner, running well in defeat over similar trips since returning to action in August. Will look to improve

Form: 293043

(11)

Little Clarinet^p,t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: D Marnane| OR: 63| D

10/1

Distance winner who appears to need a change of luck finishing in the money in three of his last four starts. Recent best form has come over 5f so worth a market check here.

Form: 452425

(8)

Polly Douglas^b³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 57| CD

4/1

C&D winner who won a Navan 5f handicap on good ground last month following a number of promising displays in August. Should make his presence felt once again.

Form: 394521

(7)

My Good Brother^v¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 61| D

20/1

Headed close home by an Aidan O'Brien trained winner over this trip at Dundalk before a ½L defeat over 6f on the Laytown beach. Beaten latest but worth a check in the betting back at this distance.

Form: 670220

(13)

Landline^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 59| BF| CD

10/1

C&D winner here back in July off a 5lb lower mark. Running solidly since including a win at Roscommon over 7f last month. Pace claims.

Form: 140319

(1)

Bellick³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R P Downey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 58| D

20/1

Built on promise of his handicap debut when winning over 5½f at Navan in June. Well held since and the trip isn't his strongest distance.

Form: 8-03170

(9)

Lily's Prince^p⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 58| D

14/1

Running well in defeat over the summer and richly deserves a change in luck. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 652645

(17)

Mercury^b,t³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: A B Joyce| OR: 58| BF| D

7/1

Distance winner on the AW in a British raid at Chelmsford last December. Ran gallantly on return to action when beaten 1L in a Navan contest on Sunday. One for the shortlist in this company.

Form: 0071-23

(15)

Joules^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: L Comer| OR: 51| D

20/1

Distance winner who has generally been well held in a number of starts since July. Entire may struggle in this company.

Form: 090-407

(19)

Tom Dooley³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: F Costello| OR: 51| D

25/1

Winner of eight races but below par in the main since joining this yard last autumn. Others hold stronger claims in this field it appears.

Form: 399-509

(3)

Tyrconnell²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 51| D

10/1

Eight-race maiden who ran well until weakening late on over an extended 7f at Tipperary before winning on the beach at Laytown last month. Difficult to access here and perhaps place claims at best.

Form: 007451

(2)

Zeeyalater³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: S Lavery| OR: 50| D

14/1

Consistent in big fields over the summer, hitting the frame on many occasions but was never a factor when last seen at the Curragh over the extended 6f in August. Tough ask.

Form: 544480

(18)

Dash D'Or³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: K P Cotter| OR: 46

6/1

Decent form over the summer when running well without getting her head in front, as witnessed in a couple of starts last month. Liable to go well once again.

Form: 008022

(20)

Althib¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: D Hogan| OR: 45

16/1

Failed to follow up a couple of promising runs at Gowran Park and Down Royal when finishing down the field when upped to 1m last month. Not ruled out.

Form: 750327

(16)

Chosen Rock^b⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 45| D

40/1

Distance winner who is now racing off a career low mark following heavy defeats over the summer. Others preferred.

Form: 3-00007

(10)

Double Czech^v⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 45| D

50/1

Not won since April 2016 and now races off a 23lb lower mark than his last winning rating. Opposable on recent form.

Form: 056099

(6)

Intense Starlet^p⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: E McCarthy| OR: 45| D

33/1

Made a winning debut for this yard when victorious over 1m at Listowel (good) in June. Well held in four subsequent starts including at Tipperary in August and more needed in this contest.

Form: 0-17706

(12)

Olly's Folly^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: N Cassidy| OR: 45

33/1

20-race maiden ran well over 7f on second run back from a layoff at Roscommon but has been well held in a couple of subsequent starts. Easily resistible on current form.

Form: 49-0608

(14)

Oor Jock⁹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: Sylvia O'Donnell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 45| CD

28/1

Tough and genuine veteran for trainer Adrian McGuinness won last time out in a 7½f Tipperary handicap when last seen in June. Possibly best watched on stable debut.

Form: 277051

(4)

S P B Lucky^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: T Collins| OR: 45

33/1

Lightly raced, eight-raced maiden who requires a chunk of improvement to play a role in the finish here.

Form: 907/87-0

Forecasts

Polly Douglas (4/1), Dash D'Or (6/1), Mercury (7/1), Tyrconnell (10/1), Little Clarinet (10/1), Doonard Prince (10/1), Landline (10/1), Zeeyalater (14/1), Lily's Prince (14/1), Althib (16/1), Joules (20/1), Bellick (20/1), My Good Brother (20/1), Tom Dooley (25/1), Oor Jock (28/1), S P B Lucky (33/1), Intense Starlet (33/1), Olly's Folly (33/1), Chosen Rock (40/1), Double Czech (50/1)

DASH D'OR showed decent form over the summer when running well without getting her head in front but can improve on her second of 21 at Navan on Sunday, seeing of the attentions of conqueror Polly Douglas, top weight, Doonard Prince and C&D winner, Landline.
