Abergwaun Stakes (Listed)

Off time: 19:01 | Winning time: -

(11)

Urban Beat⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 101| D

3/1

Won similar event at Naas in April and ran up to that form when fourth to El Astronaute when last seen in June. Less than 1l behind Ardhoomey on that occasion and if fit after break should go well again.

Form: 10-4174

(3)

Ardhoomey^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 100| D

7/1

Just the one win since 2016 but plenty of good efforts in this company since and on balance of form this term there is little between him and Urban Beat.

Form: 2-44307

(10)

Chessman^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R O'Brien| OR: 101

7/1

Rare below par effort in handicap last time but has done well since joining this yard this season though this his first attempt at the bare 5f and suspicion is that slightly further would be ideal.

Form: 622530

(4)

Hathiq^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: D Hogan| OR: 96| CD

4/1

Two impressive wins in the spring and after a couple of below par efforts, right back on track when comfortably landing Tipperary handicap off a mark of 90 last time. More to do now tackling Listed company but not easily dismissed.

Form: 211001

(1)

Hit The Bid^t¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary| OR: 110| D

10/1

Runner up in this last year when coming off a break after Dubai in the spring and follows identical pattern here. Pick of these at the weights and market should indicate his well being.

Form: 401-227

(6)

Gold Filigree²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: R Hughes| OR: 96| D

10/1

Good third in similar event at Naas in July but shade below that form when fourth since at Chester and probably needs a career best to take this.

Form: 219834

(2)

Julia's Magic⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 88| BF| D

28/1

Sole turf win was off 74 in handicap in May last year and although she has ran well in similar events to this recently needs more and comes here off the back of a disappointing run last time.

Form: 5-03474

(5)

Mistress Of Venice^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: N G McCullagh| T: K J Condon| OR: 75| CD

40/1

Maiden win in the spring remains her only success and well beaten when receiving 14lb from Hathiq on latest and hard to fancy at these weights.

Form: 321053

(12)

Rapid Reaction³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Slattery| T: J F Grogan| OR: 88| D

16/1

Not far behind Ardhoomey and Urban Beat in similar contest at Cork in June but hasn't built on that since and needs career best to land this with top apprentice unable to claim his 5lb allowance.

Form: 565390

(8)

Deia Glory³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M Dods| OR: 93| D

20/1

Speedy front-runner at her best and suited by the minimum trip but pick of her form is on faster ground and may find some of these too good.

Form: 09-4656

(7)

Jungle Jane⁵¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: W McCreery| D

25/1

Knew her job when making winning debut at Dundalk in March last year but has clearly had issues as she hasn't been seen since and a tall order for her to take this on just her second start.

Form: 1-

(9)

Nitro Boost³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 98| D

8/1

Stand out effort when landing at The Curragh in June. Not so good two runs but will appreciate coming back down to 5f here and no surprise should she outrun her odds.

Form: 473100

Forecasts

Urban Beat (3/1), Hathiq (4/1), Chessman (7/1), Ardhoomey (7/1), Nitro Boost (8/1), Gold Filigree (10/1), Hit The Bid (10/1), Rapid Reaction (16/1), Deia Glory (20/1), Jungle Jane (25/1), Julia's Magic (28/1), Mistress Of Venice (40/1)

Hit The Lid was just beaten in this 12 months ago after a break since Dubai in March and attempts to go one better after the same break. At his best he will take plenty of beating but narrow preference is for HATHIQ who has earned this go in Listed class after some excellent wins in handicap company, particularly at Tipperary recently. Urban Beat is lightly raced for his age and despite his penalty could make the frame in a strong contest.
