Kody Ridge^t1¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D W O'Connor| T: J C McConnell| OR: 63| D

16/1

Modest 60+ rated handicapper for Roger Fell and Brian Ellison over the summer. Best watched on stable debut.

Waitaki³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 63| C| D

8/1

Course winner that has also won over the distance. Out of luck of late over C&D but could be dangerous from his current mark, 7lb lower than last winning rating.

Patrick Joseph¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: D Marnane| OR: 60

11/2

Ran well in defeat over C&D last month going down by 1¾L to La Novia off a similar mark. Deserves a change of luck and could go well under top apprentice.

Bustam^h,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁴⁾| T: E Mullins| OR: 59

14/1

A maiden after 14 starts and seemingly lost his way completely since joining this outfit including a couple of heavy defeats here. Hard to fancy.

Form: 360006

Above Us Only Sky¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Killian Leonard| T: C O'Brien| OR: 57

25/1

Well held in three starts on turf in the spring but must come in to consideration given his previous form here, hitting the frame on four occasions from seven starts. Not easily dismissed.

Form: 242900

Kendwar^b1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen| T: A Slattery| OR: 55

12/1

Largely well held in a number of disappointing starts here since October. Needs dramatic improvement here but first-time blinkers and efficient pilot are positives.

Form: 456749

Amazing One^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 54

11/2

Not beaten far when running well in defeat over C&D recently. Likable type who should be in the mix at the business end of proceedings.

Rag Tatter¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Hogan| T: A Mulholland| OR: 52

10/1

Promising 75-rated handicapper for Kevin Ryan but was without success for this yard in 11 starts before a brief spell with Keith Watson. Best watched on return.

Form: 070082

Latchet³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: W T Byrne⁽⁴⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 49

5/1

Shaped like the win was not far away last month when second of 14 beaten ½L over C&D. Open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 32-6052

(12)

Three Majors^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁴⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 49| CD

9/1

Solid and consistent sort who finished second over C&D last month on a couple of occasions. Place claims back at this trip following a defeat over 1m recently.

Form: 370225

(8)

Tomwontlisten¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁴⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 47| CD

16/1

Got off the mark for connections at the ninth time of asking when landing the spoils over C&D last month off a 2lb lower mark. The win followed a number of desolate efforts and the filly may not be the trustworthy of sorts.

Form: 488001

(13)

Dolly Levi^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: D E Sheehy| T: E Lynam| OR: 45

14/1

Third of 14 beaten a head behind Tomwontlisten last month over C&D losing the lead in the dying strides. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 805953

Zwack^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Alan Persse⁽⁴⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 45

66/1

Five-race maiden, well beaten and no impression on three visits here previously. Needs to bounce back in a big way to have a say here.

Top apprentice Oisin Orr could be the difference for the David Marnane-trained PATRICK JOSEPH to get off the mark for connections at the 18th time of asking on his 11th AW start. The three-year-old ran well in defeat over C&D last month going down by 1¾L to La Novia off a similar mark and can land the spoils here from potential improver, Lachet and the possibly well-weighted, Dolly Levi.
