Shadow Seven^b,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 63| C

2/1

Belatedly off the mark last time out when losing his maiden tag. Drops back in trip but a 10lb rise is fair and he's a fascinating contender for a yard in form.

Form: 347331

Lady De Vesci¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: M A Gallagher| T: M Halford| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Two-time C&D winner, the latter of which came last time and the form of that run has been franked by the third winning since. Yard going well at present and has to be respected from just 5lb higher.

Form: 435121

Easy Pass^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Emma Sara Holden⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 60

20/1

18-race maiden in all codes, tailed off over hurdles at Wexford in May when last spotted and previous Flat form isn't inspiring.

Form: 5/85-465

(7)

Aunty Audrey²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 57

25/1

Has won three of her 21 starts, though yet to win in five AW outings. Disappointed here last time and can be slowly away so comes with risks attached.

Form: 015710

Stealth^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D A McCormack⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 58

12/1

Still a maiden after 15 starts but just about his best effort yet when third over C&D last time. Only up 1lb for that and shouldn't be far away with a similar effort here.

Form: 970873

(6)

Brokopondo^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 54| CD

17/2

On a 22-race losing streak at present and while well-handicapped on old form, he's inconsistent. Well beaten in a claimer last time and opposable on that evidence.

Form: 007275

(8)

Night Drive²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: T Kodama| OR: 57

40/1

Yet to place on any of her five starts and well beaten at big odds here last time out. May need more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 06007

(2)

Every Breath¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 55| CD

4/1

Lost her maiden tag over C&D last time out on just her sixth career start, confirming the promise of an improved effort at Gowran Park. Only up 3lb for that and should go well here.

Form: U04851

(9)

Crossingoz^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Fitzpatrick| OR: 49| CD

10/1

Her sole win from 17 starts came over C&D two runs back from a basement mark. Couldn't back that up here last time out from revised mark but she's been dropped 1lb for the effort and not without a place chance here.

Form: 093816

(12)

Effernock Fizz²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 52

33/1

Yet to place in six starts, four of which have come here and the best effort was in claiming company. Has a bit to find at present.

Form: 040940

(10)

Konig Hall^p,t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 45| D

20/1

Better over hurdles than on the Flat, as seen when in good form in the summer, but he generally finishes well beaten on his starts here, as seen last time and has a bit to find on form.

Form: 860405

Miss Louise⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Damien Melia⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 46

25/1

Yet to win in seven starts, though did shape with some promise here two runs back over 1m4f. Doesn't give the impression she wants a drop back in trip though and others preferred.

Form: 070039

Duke Of Waspington⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 58

33/1

Third Reserve: Still a maiden after 12 starts and shown nothing since joining this yard.

Forecasts

Shadow Seven (2/1), Every Breath (4/1), Lady De Vesci (4/1), Brokopondo (17/2), Crossingoz (10/1), Definite Doyenne (10/1), Stealth (12/1), Path Of Silver (12/1), Konig Hall (20/1), Easy Pass (20/1), Miss Louise (25/1), Aunty Audrey (25/1), Ten Bears (25/1), Duke Of Waspington (33/1), Effernock Fizz (33/1), Night Drive (40/1), U S Navy Seal (50/1)

Joseph O'Brien is a trainer in good form in recent weeks and topweight SHADOW SEVEN was mightily impressive last time and may be capable of defying the rise in the weights. Path Of Silver had excuses last time and shouldn't be ruled out while Lady De Vesci is a two-time course and distance winner and rates as the main danger in her bid for a third win in four starts.
