7/1

Running well in defeat of late including when second of 15 as beaten favourite in a Bellewstown 1m handicap last month. Positives outweigh the negatives in this contest and the Zebedee gelding should be among the leading players.

6/1

Possibly needed the run when finishing down the field over 1m½f on return to action at the Galway festival last month following a 636 day lay-off. Worth a market check with notable jockey booking.

Roachdale House³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: J A Heffernan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 63| D

14/1

Winner of three of his 20 Flat starts on turf but the son of Mastercraftsman has not been seen on the level since finishing fifth of 16 in a Gowran Park 7f handicap over two years ago off a 9lb higher mark. Has placed over C&D.

Scarlet Seymour³⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer| OR: 60

50/1

Five-race maiden who has failed to build on early promise in a number of dismal efforts last season. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and others hold sturdier claims as the filly returns to action.

Kudbegood^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 59

10/3

Solid performance of consistency, hitting the frame in six of his last seven starts. Deserves a change in fortunes as the gelding attempts to get off the mark at the 14th time of asking.

Voyageofdiscovery^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 58| D

12/1

Another in the field running well in defeat of late showing solid consistency over the summer. Big danger running 3lb lower than last winning mark .

Rinty Maginty¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 60| D

5/1

Sole win in 11-race career came on handicap debut at the Galway festival 12 months ago off an 11lb higher mark. The Camacho gelding has struggled in a number of starts since including four defeats this term. Others preferred.

Vinnie's Wish^h,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 55

16/1

Losing run now totals nine with the gelding running down the field at Cork recently well beaten over 14L. Looks vulnerable in this contest.

Piper Bomb^t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52| CD

12/1

Has a C&D record second to none winning here in June off a 6lb lower mark and hitting the frame on a further three occasions from four starts over the combination. Hard to ignore back at this venue.

Tribal Path^t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: K J Manning| T: D English| OR: 50| D

6/1

Running well in defeat at Tipperary and more recently at Bellewstown over 1m on good ground last month. Hard to fancy for the win racing 28lb lower than last winning mark, but place claims all the same.

Pindaric²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: P Cluskey| OR: 45

25/1

27-race maiden, without success in 16 Flat starts on turf for previous connections. Best watched on first run for new yard since leaving Declan Carroll.

Form: 2573-25

All About Maddy^b1,t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 45

25/1

Three-race maiden on turf the filly has looked overwhelmed each start since June. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 870-460

Cozy Sky²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: G Elliott| OR: 45

25/1

Promising runs have been usually followed by a couple of disappointing efforts since debut run at Naas in June last year. More needed but not one to put a line through.

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: H Rogers| OR: 45| D

14/1

Second Reserve: Winner of three of her 41 Flat starts on turf, the mare has not won for three years and finds herself 10lb lower than last winning mark. Looks opposable.

Forecasts

Kudbegood (10/3), Rinty Maginty (5/1), Mean Fomhair (6/1), Tribal Path (6/1), Solomons Seal (7/1), All The Mollies (10/1), Voyageofdiscovery (12/1), Piper Bomb (12/1), Botanical Lady (14/1), Roachdale House (14/1), Vinnie's Wish (16/1), Pindaric (25/1), All About Maddy (25/1), Cozy Sky (25/1), Scarlet Seymour (50/1), Ojinjintka (50/1), Prime Chief (150/1), The Mcgregornator (150/1)

There will be no more worthy winner on the card if the solid and consistent KUDBEGOOD gets off the mark for connections at the 14th time of asking. The four-year-old has finished in the frame in six of his last seven starts and can get the better of Voyageofdiscovery another to be running well in defeat of late. Solomons Seal, who has been on the go since the start of the season, the Di Love-trained All The Mollies and C&D winner, Piper Bomb can battle for minor honours.
