Drayton Cross³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Shane Foley| T: E Lynam| OR: 62

20/1

Cape Cross gelding changed hands for 42,000gns as a yearling. Possibly needed the run at Gowran Park last month and can continue progress here.

Form: 039

(14)

Happy Company^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Hassett| OR: 60

20/1

Generally well held in a number of starts since winning a Sligo handicap off a 1lb higher mark in June. Plenty of conditions in his favour here and can grab a place late on.

Form: 044400

(11)

Scealai Aonair^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Halpin| T: G Elliott| OR: 58

16/1

Failed on a British raid when seventh of 12 in an Ayr 1m2f handicap earlier this month. Place claims at best.

Form: 317087

(16)

Aa Bee See⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 57| D

5/1

Originally fetched 390,000 gns as a yearling and is only just starting to show some ability given a win at Punchestown over hurdles in December and a promising second of 12 at Tramore in August over 2m on the Flat. Leading player.

Form: 2914/1-2

(6)

Bog War²⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: L P Cusack| OR: 56| CD

14/1

C&D winner here at the festival over three years ago off a 7lb higher mark. Winner on the AW at Dundalk latest and still retains plenty of ability. Not easy to discount.

Form: 08/004-1

(8)

Challow^v²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: T G McCourt| OR: 56

9/1

Running well without success finishing runner-up on a number of occasions earlier in the season. Others appear to be progressing at a quicker rate.

Form: 220928

(3)

Union Gap⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 58

25/1

Well held in three career starts to date finishing down the field on each occasion on the Flat. Hurdling latest and difficult to make a case for here.

Form: 056

(1)

All The Mollies⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 51| BF

14/1

Beaten favourite last month here over 1m½f in a handicap on heavy ground. Better than last run suggests and not one to dismiss easily.

Form: 514-469

(13)

Loudest Whisper⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 56

14/1

Disappointing in three maiden before further setbacks in a couple of handicaps at Killarney and at the Curragh. Appears out of her depth here.

Form: 8-4570

(2)

Mastermind¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 50

2/1

127-rated hurdler who has shown signs of ability in a number of defeats since May. Would not have to improve much to land a blow here.

Form: 806-433

(17)

A Few Bob Short^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: S K Ryder| OR: 53| BF

12/1

Solid, consistent and regularly hits the frame. 10-race maiden who is much better than his last run at Limerick suggests and not one to totally leave out of calculations.

Form: 233220

(15)

Big Ego^t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 46| D

10/1

Only one win from 15 coming at Gowran Park last July over 1m4f on yielding ground off a 4lb higher mark. Needs to improve significantly.

Form: 300-447

(18)

Bella Rua^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: Miss J M Lee| OR: 45

20/1

Failed to build on a number of promising runs in the spring when disappointing at Cork and, more recently at Gowran Park on return to action earlier this month. Very little to be positive about.

Form: 045407

(4)

Bomber Jackson^v³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: N G McCullagh| T: Mrs Y Dunleavy| OR: 45

14/1

Not seen on the Flat for over 12-months when remaining a 20-race maiden. Recently winning over hurdles and carries a mark of 101 currently. Any market move should be monitored.

Form: 43/5000-

(9)

Bright Lass²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: J J Walsh| OR: 45

33/1

Hurdling recently and last seen on the level over 12-months ago. Likely to be better handicapped sorts loitering on the racecard.

Form: 90858-

(5)

Divin Desir^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: I Madden| OR: 45

50/1

Nothing of note in a number of desolate displays over the summer and impossible to construct a case for in this company.

Form: 0090-07

(10)

Phebes Dream^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: M A Gallagher| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45

20/1

Well held and never nearer in five starts since returning to action in March. Others look open to more improvement.

Form: 3-69588

(7)

You'llfindandsee^t³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 45

25/1

Famous Name filly, sent off big prices on all five career starts and has run accordingly on each occasion. Likely to struggle here.

Form: 7460-

Forecasts

Mastermind (2/1), Aa Bee See (5/1), Seekamist (8/1), Challow (9/1), Big Ego (10/1), A Few Bob Short (12/1), Loudest Whisper (14/1), Bomber Jackson (14/1), All The Mollies (14/1), Bog War (14/1), Scealai Aonair (16/1), Phebes Dream (20/1), Happy Company (20/1), Bella Rua (20/1), Drayton Cross (20/1), Crossingoz (20/1), You'llfindandsee (25/1), Union Gap (25/1), Amadeus (25/1), Bright Lass (33/1), Divin Desir (50/1)

MASTERMIND can land the closing race of the meeting with the possibility he could get a decent pull in to the race from the likes of Challow or Bomber Jackson in the early stages of the race. Aa Bee See can build on a promising second of 12 at Tramore in August over 2m and can battle for the minor honours with Bog War and A Few Bob Short, while All The Mollies, Happy Company and Challow can go well at a price.
