Off time: 18:35 | Winning time: 1m 37.59s

(4)

Faerie Laws^v³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Nathan Crosse| T: W McCreery| OR: 63| D

16/1

First time blinkers worked when getting off the mark in a claimer on penultimate run. May have found the 1m1f trip stretching her last time but bit to prove with visor now going back on.

Form: 829010

Feather Step⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Coen| T: D K Weld| OR: 63

16/1

Little sign of ability in trio of maidens on varying ground earlier in the season and although she may do better now handicapping, opening mark looks a tad harsh.

Form: 066

(16)

Yafordadoe⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Crosse| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 63

8/1

Has shown more in two recent handicaps over 1m at Galway and Killarney, each time giving the impression that this drop in trip could help, though has once again been unlucky with the draw.

Form: 590084

(7)

Never Rains^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁴⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 61| D

11/2

Off the mark in a claimer last month and has followed that with solid placed efforts in two handicaps since. Ground and trip fine and should again run her race.

Form: 540123

Lily Lily Rose²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: A A Howard| OR: 60

5/1

Best run in 6f Naas handicap last time when doing best of her group by some way. Had earlier showed promise at this trip so return may bring further improvement so entitled to respect.

Form: 809-084

(12)

Kinch¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Ryan⁽²⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 59

8/1

Off the mark for Ger Lyons over 6f at Ayr and creditable sixth in big field at 1m on debut for this yard. This trip could prove his optimum and could be more to come.

Form: 870016

(2)

Rudisha^b1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A M Glynn⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 58

33/1

Little form to date including recent handicap debut. Lightly raced but first time blinkers need to make a big difference.

Form: 0-540

(14)

Light Breeze^t1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alan Persse⁽⁴⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 57| D

8/1

Sole win was over 1m at Navan in June. Bit hit and miss since then but this drop in trip could bring about some improvement and not out of it in such an ordinary contest. Tongue tie now goes on.

Form: 510848

(15)

Rain Or Shine¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Madden| T: C O'Brien| OR: 56

14/1

Didn't have the clearest run inside final furlong when last seen at Dundalk in February. Lightly raced and could have more to offer and market should guide after six months absence.

Form: 07-56

(13)

Trueba²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 56| BF

7/2

Sole win was over 6f and another good run when second to a progressive type at extended 5f last time but does have form at this trip and makes good deal of appeal with top claimer booked.

Form: 631432

(6)

Able Dealer^t1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mackay⁽⁴⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 52

14/1

Claims on Naas run in April but below that form both runs since and first time tongue tie needs to spark improvement.

Form: 5-00509

(10)

Drombeg Duke¹⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 47

14/1

Off the track since handicap debut in April so presumably has had issues. Lightly raced and may have more to come. Market check advised.

Form: 700-9

(11)

Magi Gal⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45

25/1

Poor form in trio of maidens and similar tale since going handicapping. Needs big step forward to play a part here.

Form: 080-780

(17)

Me Well³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁷⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 45

16/1

Turf form has been poor but offered a little more when sixth in similar event at Gowran last time. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 360706

(1)

One For Della⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Emma Louise Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 45

33/1

Modest form all four runs to date and hard to make a case for from 5lb out of the weights.

Form: 09-00

(8)

Rule The Sea⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Reserve 1| T: T Collins| OR: 46

20/1

Poor form in three maidens and no better when switched to handicap company last time and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-809

Forecasts

Trueba (7/2), Lily Lily Rose (5/1), Never Rains (11/2), Kinch (8/1), Yafordadoe (8/1), Light Breeze (8/1), Drombeg Duke (14/1), Able Dealer (14/1), Rain Or Shine (14/1), Dash To Celebrate (14/1), Me Well (16/1), Faerie Laws (16/1), Feather Step (16/1), Rule The Sea (20/1), Quare Lucky (20/1), Magi Gal (25/1), Rudisha (33/1), One For Della (33/1), Bobby Cool (33/1)

Plenty of deadwood in this handicap and with the assistance of the top apprentice it may pay to stick with TRUEBA back at this longer trip. The consistent Never Rains should again run her race and could be the principal threat while Light Breeze completes the short list.
