14/1
Has six turf wins on his CV but was woefully out of form in final two starts in Britain before joining this yard. Well beaten on return to action here last month. Hard to construct much of a case for him 22lb below last winning mark.

The drop back to a mile did the trick at Killarney in August when battling on well to win, before disappointing in a couple of spins since. Place claims.

Got back to winning ways in a 7½f Tipperary handicap off a 3lb lower mark in August before running well in defeat at Listowel last month in a competitive handicap. Another bold show looks likely.

Running well in defeat in three starts last month over a variety of trips. Enters calculations now up in trip.

Solid and consistent in a number of starts over the summer without getting her head in front. Deserves a change of luck and likely to be in the mix once again.

Five race maiden who is yet to hit the frame. Will need to raise overall performance returning from yet another break.

Beaten favourite last month on stable debut in a 6f Fairyhouse handicap on good to yielding ground. Market should be informative.

No win in 11 starts so far and already looks regressive. Sent off massive prices and well beaten last five starts, and set for more of the same here.

Career record of one from 37 hardly inspires. Hints of ability recently don't hide the fact that others look to be progressing at a quicker rate.

An 19-race maiden on the Flat, made debut for this stable after 706 days off when coming home in his own time at Roscommon in August. Beaten over hurdles since and looks opposable here.

Just the two wins from 44 Flat both coming on turf. Back on a winning mark but hard to fancy in current form.

Nothing of note in three career starts to date including a couple of uninspiring defeats in August. Looks up against here on handicap debut.

Performance rates have dwindled since debut run at Listowel over 12-months ago. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Will have disappointed connections in five dismal career starts to date. Hard to fancy on current evidence and first-time tongue-tie unlikely to improve finishing positions.

The good to firm ground coincided with improved displays from the filly in two starts at Fairyhouse and Navan over the summer. Found trouble in running latest and likely to remain a maiden following this contest.

Verdict

AUNTY AUDREY can return to winning ways here under 7lb claimer Ben Coen from a favourable draw getting a handy pull in to the race from Busy Bush. The Patrick Flynn-trained four-year-old can see off the challenge from Lady Boomerang and last time out beaten favourite, Tuamhain.
