66/1

£5,000 as a three-year-old by Oasis Dream out of a Halling mare. Dam won between 7½f and 1m1½f. Modest effort on debut when finishing down the field at Ballinrobe over 1m1½f and looks up against it.

100/1

Bungle Inthejungle gelding out of a Verglas mare. Dam, seven-race maiden, placed over 7f. Last of 15 on debut at Fairyhouse over 6f in June and hard to place any faith in here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: S J Mahon

100/1

Experienced five-race maiden has failed to beaten any of his last 49 rivals in four starts since February and unlikely to be making a significant impact in this contest.

33/1

Born To Sea gelding out of a Pivotal mare. Dam was a winner over 1m on the AW. Midfield in only race to date and should improve although others here boast more convincing claims.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell

100/1

Vocatus²⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 75

16/1

Six-race maiden who is one of the more experienced in this contest. Improvement has to be noted in his last couple of starts and is more than capable of a big run in this contest.

25/1

Bated Breath filly; a half-sister to three winners, including useful winner up to 1m Graser and two-year-old 7f winner Gregoria. Not disgraced on debut finishing 9L adrift of Tauran Shaman, winner here on Wednesday.

5/2

Filly by Invincible Spirit out Group 1 winning mare Timepiece. Running well in a couple of starts since June. Appears to be improving from race to race and looks more than able to muster a bold bid.

Form: 722

Yalla Go¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A M Glynn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan

100/1

By Intikhab out of a Cape Cross mare. Unraced dam closely related to 1m Group 1 winner Aqlaam. Just moderate form at Gowran Park and Dundalk so far and this looks tough again.

Forecasts

Lancaster House (6/4), Time Tunnel (5/2), Darkened (11/2), Cerberus (8/1), Call Me Dolly (10/1), Bodak (12/1), Vocatus (16/1), Queen Amidala (25/1), Lady Arona (25/1), Day Dreamin' (25/1), Ramiro (33/1), Mean Fomhair (33/1), Keep Dreaming (33/1), Canning (50/1), Border Battle (66/1), Farnese (66/1), Yalla Go (100/1), Jungle Gazelle (100/1), King Citric (100/1), Rockview Roman (100/1), La Capacite (100/1)

It's hard to get away from the chances of TIME TUNNEL as the daughter of Invincible Spirit attempts to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections. The three-year-old looks head and shoulders above the opposition with Tipperary runner-up, Call Me Dolly, the Jessica Harrington-trained Bodak and Ballydoyle debutante Lancaster House appearing to be the biggest dangers.
