Five-time winner has made the frame four times this summer without success. Fifth of 10 here over 6f in August and others appear to be open to more improvement.

Five-time C&D winner that latest coming in November off a 3lb higher mark. Not disgraced on turf over the summer and very much in the mix back here.

Six-time winner here, five of them over C&D. The latest coming in January off a 3lb higher mark. One to consider back here in first-time cheekpieces.

The removal of the hood seemed to do the trick when bouncing back to form to win at Killarney in July. Beaten since and place claims at best here.

15-race maiden who has been to Godolphin, raced in France and has been well beaten in a couple of starts for current connections. Others look more convincing.

Weakened in the final furlong of a promising run at Roscommon in a 7f handicap last month, as beaten favourite, following a number of disappointing performances since April.

20/1
C&D winner here in December off a 3lb lower mark, but has been generally well held in a number of below-par starts in the summer. First time blinkers inconceivable to produce the required amount of development needed to play a role here.

Forecasts

Waitaki (4/1), Ishebayorgrey (6/1), Time Stands Still (13/2), Luna's Luck (8/1), Flawlessly (8/1), Palace Guard (9/1), Fit For Function (10/1), Ar Saoirse (11/1), Confident Kid (12/1), Arbourfield (14/1), Captain Power (14/1), Yourartisonfire (14/1), Diable d'Or (14/1), Smart Stinger (20/1), Miss Zizi (20/1), Descendant (50/1), Menelik (50/1)

Verdict

The Mick Halford yard boast a 52% win and place strike rate in early/mid October here at Dundalk and LUNA'S LUCK can take this contest following a disappointing defeat at Roscommon as beaten favourite last month. The four-year-old was third of 14 over C&D in January and can take advantage of the early pace set by the John Oxx-trained Miss Zizi, who could hold on for a place at a price. C&D winner, Time Stands Still and Waitaki can battle to hit the frame.
