Reliable sort who again gave his running when 2¾L fourth of 11 to Shore Step at Cork last time, never closer than at the finish. Should be thereabouts off same mark here.

11/2
Has had a cracking season, gaining her fourth win of the year when victorious at The Curragh off 65 in August. Better than ever when close fourth of 16 to Enter The Red over C&D last time, and leading claims again.

Ran respectably at Cork on penultimate start, but only tenth behind Enter The Red here last time, and easy enough to oppose on balance even if bouncing back.

Handicapper has cut him some slack, and more competitive here on last two starts, finishing 3¼L third of 23 to Tide of Time over 6f last time. Bit more required now, but not dismissed.

6/1
Returned from a break with a good third over C&D last month, and second to Dash D'Or at Naas next time, but ran badly here on latest start, already weakening when hampered and eased late on. Must put that firmly behind him.

Pulled it out of the fire when scoring over 6f here in June, but below form on all three starts since, and cheekpieces reached for now. Risky.

Had been running with credit off basement marks before easily beating Mercury at Naas on penultimate start, but hit by a massive rise for that success, and struggled off new mark here last time.

Back to winning ways over 7f at Roscommon last month, and normally reliable, but well below form on last two starts, and may have had enough for the year.

Dual winner at Dundalk on the AW in the spring but well held in four turf starts since July, and fared on a little better back on AW last time.

12/1
Won over 5f at Bellewston in July, and now 3lb lower after losing her form of late. Hinted at a revival here last time, but that form hasn't worked out great, and she needs to build on it.

Has regressed badly since finish second on AW debut for Kevin Ryan, and of no interest based on this year's efforts.

Forecasts

Art Of Unity (7/2), Dash D'Or (5/1), Gopsies Daughter (11/2), Mercury (6/1), Gottardo (7/1), Landline (9/1), Sweetest Taboo (12/1), Bellick (12/1), Powersville (12/1), Danz Gift (20/1), Calypso Jo (33/1)

Verdict

GOTTARDO has acquitted himself well in better races than this through the season, and can gain reward for his consistency at the chief expense of the prolific Gopsies Daughter. Art of Unity has slipped to a good mark, and completes the shortlist.
  1. Gottardo
  2. Gopsies Daughter
  3. Art Of Unity
