Dancing On A Dream^b1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 75

4/1

10-race maiden failed to get off the mark for trainer Mark Johnston and in a couple of starts for current connections. Dream Ahead filly deserves a change in fortunes following a number of career close calls. First-time blinkers could assist.

Form: 4222-34

Still In Deauville²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: John Hassett

40/1

Daughter of Camacho out of a Acclamation mare. Well held in a couple of career starts in France for trainer Vicky Haigh. Best watched on Irish debut.

Form: 80

Drummer⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: D Hogan

33/1

Smart Strike gelding out of a Dansili mare. Half-brother to 1m turf two-year-old/1m3f AW winner Autun and US 1m turf winner Feasibility. Beaten over 20L on each of his three starts to date.

Form: 0

Rehoboth Beach^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 69

7/2

Eight-race maiden on turf, running well and not disgraced in the majority of contests since June. Colt is entitled to be in the mix.

Form: 385466

Zaamar^t1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

15/2

Colt by Tamayuz, cost €1,200 as a two-year-old. Failed to build on promising start at Leopardstown in June when looking out of sorts at the same venue earlier this month. Too early to be writing off just yet.

Form: 36

(12)

Ivaldi¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: J G Carr

100/1

Daughter of Dutch Art failed to spark for trainer Charlie Hills and in three dismal efforts for current connections. Last seen over hurdles and difficult to make a case for on return to the Flat.

Form: 6-70

(13)

Red Vermillion

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Kevin Coleman

25/1

Daughter of Excelebration out of a Montjeu mare. Dam winner of three of her nine Flat starts on turf running between 1m3f and 1m6f. Best watched on debut for low-key Co Kildare operation.

Lottieloveheart¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade| OR: 67

12/1

Six-race maiden on turf, the daughter of Es Que Love has looked out of form in three starts this term following a promising two-year-old campaign. Handicaps look more of an option, but any market move should be noted.

Form: 333-065

(10)

Small Town Boy^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 65

8/1

Still looking for breakthrough success in five starts on turf. No impression and weakened inside final furlong at the Curragh earlier this month on first start over a similar trip. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 65-2480

(18)

Russian Vine⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: M A Gallagher| T: R Brabazon| OR: 60

16/1

Giving plenty in defeat when not disgraced in four career starts to date. Step up in trip here may suit and worth a market check.

Form: 5644

(3)

Triple Nickle³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Stack| OR: 68

5/1

Possibly flattered by the recent finishing positions here and at Gowran Park last month. Possibly best watched on dropping to this trip unless market vibes have other ideas.

Form: 0-6445

(2)

Battle Of Yarmouk^b1,t1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 62

16/1

Hit the frame at Southwell on a couple of occasions before two dismal efforts on turf when in the care of trainer Kevin Ryan. Could be of interest on stable debut and second start since wind surgery.

Form: 3380

(6)

Cherryville⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 63

10/1

Four-race maiden well held in three maiden starts before a disappointing handicap debut at Killarney earlier this month. Interesting drop back to maiden company for York Ebor winning trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 78-80

(4)

Dom's Angel³⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: F Costello

100/1

Now gelded son of Dark Angel has been sent off at big prices in three desolate career starts to date and is unlikely to make a significant impact in this contest.

Form: 000-

(8)

Equus Minimus^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L F Roche| T: D A McLoughlin

100/1

A cheap purchase for this yard and has offered little in the way of signs of ability in a couple of career starts to date. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Forecasts

Rehoboth Beach (7/2), Dancing On A Dream (4/1), Triple Nickle (5/1), Zaamar (15/2), Small Town Boy (8/1), Cherryville (10/1), Lottieloveheart (12/1), Russian Vine (16/1), Battle Of Yarmouk (16/1), Red Vermillion (25/1), Zayriyan (25/1), Drummer (33/1), Still In Deauville (40/1), Rudisha (50/1), Selaron Steps (50/1), Equus Minimus (100/1), Ivaldi (100/1), Dom's Angel (100/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained REHOBOTH BEACH can get off the mark for connection in the opener at the 10th time of asking. The colt by dual Group 1 winner Treasure Beach, can build on a number of promising starts over the summer and see off any challenge from the Noel Meade-trained, Lottieloveheart. Dancing On A Dream and Triple Nickle should be considered, while it would not come as a surprise to see improved form from the likes of Cherryville and Battle Of Yarmouk.
