Distance winner whose last win on turf came over 18-months ago off a 4lb higher mark. Market likely to be the best guide here.

No impression entering the final furlong in a Cork handicap over 7f earlier this month on good ground. Liable to find one or two better handicapped here.

Winner of a Gowran Park 7f handicap on soft to heavy ground leading 14 rivals home earlier this month off a 7lb lower mark. Rise for a ½L win looks harsh.

Running well in defeat on both turf and the AW AT Dundalk recently. First-time visor may be the missing piece of the jigsaw for the eight-race maiden.

Beaten a neck over this trip in a Naas claimer earlier this month. Game sort but 13-race maiden has been largely well beaten in handicaps of late.

16-race maiden on turf with only registered win coming on the AW at Dundalk. Well beaten in a number of starts since September and others preferred.

Second of 16 in a 1m Gowran Park handicap off a 6lb lower mark last month. Beaten over further since but one to watch in the market returning to this trip.

Not beaten far when sixth of 14 in a Naas claimer earlier this month on good ground. Generally struggling in handicaps since July and unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

13-race maiden and without a win on turf in three starts. Hurdling recently and hard to fancy here on first start on the Flat for over 12-months when in the care of Karl Burke.

Still a maiden - 17 races - well beaten since returning to action in a couple of starts earlier this month. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Distance winner who was a beaten favourite on his last start on a British raid at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening. Genuine sort who is nearing last winning mark.

Distance winner who is a dual heavy ground winner 12-months ago with anything better than good ground possibly posing a problem here.

Well held on return to the track in a Navan 1m handicap in April before a heavy defeat following another break at Naas earlier this month. Unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Forecasts

Royal Admiral (4/1), Littlevix (9/2), Invincible Queen (11/2), Natty Dresser (7/1), Pari Passu (8/1), Maysonette (11/1), Voyageofdiscovery (14/1), Mcguigan (14/1), Fox Dream (16/1), Texas Radio (16/1), Prove The Point (16/1), Fast On (40/1), Inner Knowing (66/1)

Verdict

First-time visor may be the missing piece of the jigsaw for the four-year-old, ROYAL ADMIRAL to get off the mark for connections at the ninth time of asking here following a number of solid and genuine performances over the summer. The Adrian McGuinness-trained gelding can see off the attentions of Gowran Park winner, Littlevix, the Tony Mullins-trained, Pari Passu and Prove The Point who can go well at a price.
