Scream⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 65

12/1

Vocalised filly, yet to add to her maiden victory at Bellewstown over 12 months ago. Looks up against from draw and still 9lb higher than initial handicap mark.

Form: 039-044

Sabrina Fairchild^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 63| D

9/2

Winner on the AW at Dundalk but still looking for a first win in five starts on turf. Career best latest start at the Curragh last month and can improve on that run here to may find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.

Form: 821-883

(1)

Munfallet²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: D P Coakley| OR: 62| D

8/1

Experienced handicapper who has done all of his winning on turf. Struggling on a 20-race losing run and finds himself running 25lb lower than last winning mark. Tough ask.

Form: 39472-9

(15)

Red Bloodedcruiser^p,t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Nolan| OR: 62

16/1

Produced a career best on her latest start when finishing third of 18 beaten ½L in a Fairyhouse 7f handicap last month. Remains a seven-race maiden on the Flat but one for the shortlist here.

Form: 086003

(20)

Amazing One^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 57

25/1

Sole career success has come on the AW at Dundalk with the Holy Roman Emperor gelding still looking no nearer to a breakthrough victory from nine starts on turf.

Form: 013600

(8)

Captain Power^h¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: G Elliott| OR: 56| D

11/4

Without a win on turf for over two years and has shown little signs of any interest when slowly away in three starts for current connections. 27lb below last winning mark and unlikely to be troubling the judge.

Form: 000098

(14)

Sestriere¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 59

25/1

Not disgraced in two of his last three starts but has a habit of looking a little one pace in the closing stages of a number of his races. Not the most reliable of sorts and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 0748-07

(10)

Little Camacho⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 52

6/1

Improved on her seasonal debut run at Fairyhouse when landing the spoils in a 7f Gowran Park handicap off a 2lb lower mark last month. Likely to produce another bold bid given lenient looking penalty.

Form: 3520-21

(9)

Pillar¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52| D

16/1

Running well and not beaten too far in four starts last month all over 5f. Generally solid sort who has a number of conditions to suit here including running 3lb lower than last winning mark and favourable draw.

Form: 74-0660

(12)

Tribal Path^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: D English| OR: 51

25/1

Not visited the winners enclosure for over three years but has gone well here in the past. Needs to bounce back in a big way here to have a say.

Form: 040-900

(6)

Bionic Tonic²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M A Gallagher| T: D Cullen| OR: 53| BF

16/1

Six-race maiden has hit the frame on a couple of occasions recently but failed to justify favouritism when finishing well down the field on latest start at Fairyhouse last month. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 007240

(4)

Guiding Star^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: P J McKenna| OR: 48| D

10/1

Winner of just one of her 45 career starts including 29 runs on turf. Solid and consistent in hitting the frame in four of his last five starts and could be of some interest running off her last winning mark.

Form: 033524

(2)

Coffeemeanscoffee^b1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Killian Leonard| T: W J Martin| OR: 45

16/1

Daughter of Elzaam still looking for first win on turf in six starts. Not disgraced in a number of starts last month and could be a danger in first-time blinkers.

Form: 706205

(19)

Fiannaiocht⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 45

14/1

13-race maiden on turf, the Vocalised filly was well held on latest start at Cork in June and on balance has probably something to find in this contest.

Form: 7-30060

(17)

Eunoia²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T F Shaw| OR: 47

50/1

Daughter of Poets Voice who has been left wanting in three career starts to date showing littler or no aptitude to be considered on handicap debut.

Form: 0-00

(5)

Three Angels^b1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: James J Doyle| T: G Keane| OR: 46

16/1

Produced a career best when finishing 4¾L adrift of the main protagonists at Fairyhouse before a similar performance at Gowran Park last month. Could well improve on first-time blinkers.

Form: 90-9088

(11)

Ice Bullet¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 45| BF| D

12/1

Dundalk winner has failed to hit the frame in four starts on turf. Lightly raced the Kodiac colt is possibly best watched again on return to action following another lay-off.

Form: 090-15

(16)

Precious Design¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: J H Scott| OR: 45

50/1

Nothing of note in four career starts to date and has not shown enough to be of interest in this group from negative draw.

Form: 060-9

(21)

Realtin Fantasy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Browne| OR: 45

40/1

Well beaten and no impression in a couple of starts this term since returning to action in May. Seven-race maiden on the Flat still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Form: 4080-00

(23)

Storm Blitz^b,h1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: C P Hoban| T: J Larkin| OR: 45

40/1

Sent off a big prices in a number of starts since May and generally well held until showing improvement in a Sligo 6f handicap before disappointing again at Roscommon over 7f last month. Others preferred.

Form: 600960

Forecasts

Captain Power (11/4), Sabrina Fairchild (9/2), Little Camacho (6/1), Noirvento (6/1), Munfallet (8/1), Guiding Star (10/1), Scream (12/1), Ice Bullet (12/1), Clonville (12/1), Fiannaiocht (14/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (16/1), Bionic Tonic (16/1), Pillar (16/1), Three Angels (16/1), Red Bloodedcruiser (16/1), Sestriere (25/1), Tribal Path (25/1), Amazing One (25/1), Rudisha (33/1), Storm Blitz (40/1), Realtin Fantasy (40/1), Eunoia (50/1), Precious Design (50/1)

The 2lb penalty for her win at Gowran Park last month may not be enough to halt the progression of LITTLE CAMACHO. The four-year-old has been improving from race to race and can see of any potential challenge coming from distance winner, Sabrina Fairchild and beaten favourite at Gowran Park in April, Ice Bullet while Bionic Tonic could go well at a price.
