Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 51| D

12/1

Running well in a number of starts this summer including finishing second of 14 beaten ½L at Roscommon in July. Form has tailed off a little of late but the filly is entitled to have designs on prize money in this contest.

Treasure Vale^v1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 53

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 46| D

7/1

Career best for the five-race maiden when finishing second of 16 beaten 2¼L in a Tipperary 7½f handicap last month. That race has already produced two winners from three runners. Leading player.

Popsicle¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: J Larkin| OR: 45

Still a maiden form 16 Flat starts on turf. The filly posted a career best effort at Bellewstown on her latest start over 1m last month. Looks to be progressive and shortlisted here.

PIPER BOMB is taken to get back to winning ways here following a number of disappointing efforts. The four-year-old filly will have her preferred soft ground and can land a second career win at the expense of the solid and consistent, Count Of Carabass who won this contest in 2017 off a 2lb higher mark. Recent Bellewstown second, Popsicle, Trueba, in first-time cheekpieces and Noirvento, winner of two of her last four starts look capable of hitting the frame.
