Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: L Lennon| OR: 62| D

20/1

10/3

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 61| CD

16/1

Solid and consistent here and is one from three over C&D. Last win came in February and is slipping towards a mark he can be dangerous from.

9/2

Settling in at Navan of late but is a course winner here and currently races off a 6lb lower mark than his last success. Open to significant improvement up in trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 58

20/1

Switch to hurdling failed to spark earlier this month and remains a 12-race maiden here with little sign of light at the end of the tunnel.

Diable d'Or^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: A Mulholland| OR: 57

33/1

Always remains liable to a couple of stronger sorts and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Ar Saoirse^h⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 51

20/1

Sports a first-time hood here. Stable runners worth checking late October/early November at this venue given their 22% winning strike rate and 33% win and place returns in the last three years.

Form: 079D77

Kodianne^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: M Halford| OR: 47

Without a victory since September 2015 and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Leigh Roche| T: G Keane| OR: 45| C| D

50/1

Course winner who has won over the trip. One from 19 at the track but boasts a 55% place strike rate over C&D - six place from 11 starts. Could go well at a price.

Forecasts

Shinko Princess (10/3), Art Of Unity (9/2), Kodianne (6/1), Eacharn (13/2), Clare Island (7/1), Ahundrednotout (14/1), Art World (16/1), Glenmoore (16/1), Jackmel (20/1), Ar Saoirse (20/1), Tember (20/1), Haqeeba (20/1), Victorious Secret (20/1), Forza Libranno (20/1), Diable d'Or (33/1), Red All Star (50/1), Bonnie Park (50/1)

Solid and consistent on this surface, EACHARN can land the spoils here building on a number of resilient performances since February and ticks a great deal of boxes running off his current mark. Art Of Unity is capable of running a big race, while C&D winners Shinko Princess and Clare Island can battle for the minor honours. Red All Star could well surprise at a price.
