Off time: 15:34 | Winning time: 4m 5.3s

Penny Jane^h¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR: 132| D

2/1

Always tends to run her race and has taken form to a new level the last twice winning at Galway and Cork. Slapped with another 8lb rise here but is in such good fettle that she has every chance of running another belter.

Form: 2231-11

Drumconnor Lad^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: R Loughran| T: A Keatley| OR: 130| CD

10/1

Has really struggled this year since winning in May off 1lb lower. Never really travelling when pulled up at Navan last time and needs to bounce back to best here.

Form: 14467P

Monbeg Chit Chat⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 128| BF| D

11/2

Win a couple of handicaps on the bounce in terrific style mid-summer. Found the rise in the weights a bit too much in hat-trick bid at Killarney last time. Stopped quite quickly there so maybe this short break will help. Could bounce back.

Form: 73-F110

Eight Till Late^p¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 127| D

8/1

Been in good form of late winning a minor event over hurdles and then finishing third in a handicap chase at Cork last time. Nudged up 1lb but usual claimer back on board today so has a squeak at the weights.

Form: 332213

Thecraicisninety^p³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mark Walsh| T: P Roche| OR: 120

6/4

Back to form with a bang when making all for a comfortable success in a novices handicap chase at Sligo last month. Hit with a 12lb rise for that win which makes life altogether tougher.

Form: P58-181

I'm An Izz Wizz²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: L Lennon| OR: 118

16/1

Form has been a little sketchy of late but is capable of going well off this sort of mark so market check needed.

Form: 482948

Forecasts

Thecraicisninety (6/4), Penny Jane (2/1), Monbeg Chit Chat (11/2), Eight Till Late (8/1), Drumconnor Lad (10/1), I'm An Izz Wizz (16/1)

It is very hard to get away from the claims of PENNY JANE here who has won with plenty up her sleeve the last twice. Monbeg Chit Chat didn't fire in his bid for a hat-trick of wins but may have benefited from a short break and is feared. Eight Till Late is well weighted to go close.
