Vivianite^h,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 85| D

11/1

1m Killarney maiden winner in sixth start has been given very tough tasks since in pattern level contests at Tipperary and Listowel. This easier level for her handicap bow and respected despite big weight.

Form: 522170

Waitingfortheday⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 85

9/2

Landed a four-timer in the summer and made the frame in all four starts since. Placed last twice off today's mark and running on well late over 7f last time so this trip should suit better and again she merits maximum respect.

Form: 112323

Solar Wave^e/c³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 82

25/1

Dual soft ground scorer returned from a 196 day break at Tipperary in similar conditions last time out but was tailed off 15th of 16. Hard to recommend on the back of that.

Form: 3164-00

Chiavari¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden| OR: 78

20/1

French winner when trained by Andre Fabre ran well in a heavy ground handicap at Listowel penultimately and again showed appreciation for such conditions latest at Gowran when fourth. Quicker surface here is a doubt.

Form: 240-634

(5)

Just Sherry^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 79| D

8/1

1m Ayr winner again made the frame the last twice when raiding across the Irish Sea at Chepstow (third) and Musselburgh (second). Upped 2lb for return to home soil but clearly in good order so merits respect.

Form: 272132

(2)

Liberty Lass¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L F Roche| T: E Mullins| OR: 71| D

4/1

Left two poor 2017 efforts behind latest after a break when winning at Navan over 1m where she quickened up nicely to win going away. Very unexposed on handicap debut and could prove better than this opening mark.

Form: 07-1

(8)

Passing Trade¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 71| BF| D

6/1

Not run a bad race since winning at Bellewstown in the summer with three thirds and two fourths to her name. Handicap unchanged after latest close fourth so again has every chance to go well.

Form: 133434

(6)

Innamorare^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 69| D

7/1

Had a fine season for previous connections winning three times and was consistent on the whole. Lesser effort on debut for this yard last time out when a never nearer eighth of 16 at Navan. Better can be expected today and not ruled out.

Form: 151128

(7)

Escallonia⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: W McCreery| OR: 63

4/1

Promise in three maidens with fourth of 17 finishes the last twice at Naas followed by over C&D here last time. Has potential now switched to handicapping especially off such a low weight.

Form: 54-4

(4)

Waitaki³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 60| D

10/1

Not made the frame in seven starts since Fairyhouse success back in June. Handicap mark falling but not running well enough to take advantage lately.

Form: 046075

Forecasts

Liberty Lass (4/1), Escallonia (4/1), Waitingfortheday (9/2), Passing Trade (6/1), Innamorare (7/1), Just Sherry (8/1), Waitaki (10/1), Vivianite (11/1), Chiavari (20/1), Solar Wave (25/1)

A chance is taken here on impressive Navan maiden winner LIBERTY LASS who won in really taking fashion that day and she could easily improve again given it was her first start of the year. Highly consistent Waitingfortheday is an obvious threat as a four-time 2018 winner coming off the back of a whole host of good runs. Escallonia like the selection enters handicaps with plenty of potential to improve.
