Not Now Zeb¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 76

5/1

Five-race maiden whose best effort came when fourth at Tipperary in August. Struggled in handicap company so far, including fifth of six in 5f Navan Nursery 11 days ago. Plenty to find on ratings.

Form: 85465

Invincible Diva^t¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 75| D

9/2

Winner at Down Royal back in June but hasn't landed a telling blow in three starts since. Latest 6L sixth at Navan means more is needed and may be in the grip of the handicapper.

Form: 21636

Quick Quick⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 74

11/4

Improving sort. Ran best race of career date with neck third at Listowel (6f, soft) nine days ago. Steps down in trip for this and on a good mark for handicap debut.

Captain Corcoran³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ms N A Kane⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 72

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Put in positive efforts on last two starts, the latest when fourth of nine in 6f Curragh nursery last month. Slow start cost him that day and entitled to respect once again.

Form: 64524

Tinkerbells Effect¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 72

11/2

Five-race maiden. Put in an encouraging performance last time out when fourth at Down Royal (5f, good to firm). Makes handicap debut in this and enters calculations.

Form: 44284

Enchanted One³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 61

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden who haunts featured to date, including latest eighth of 12 in 6f Tipperary maiden in August. A lot more required on handicap debut.

Form: 098

The King Of Kells⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: M Mulvany| OR: 53

25/1

Well beaten in four starts to date, including 11L last of six at Bellewstown (5f, good) in early July. Not seen since but hard to make a case for.

Form: 8556

Megans Beau^b²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 51

20/1

Winless in five and failed to feature in each of those starts. Latest 9L defeat at Tipperary (7f) leaves a lot to be desired.

Form: 08409

QUICK QUICK was incredibly unlucky not to break his maiden tag at Listowel last time out when not fully staying the 6f trip. He should be the one to beat against some inferior rivals back down in trip and off a likeable mark for his handicap debut. Captain Cocoran put up a career best last time out and could be dangerous if he manages to break evenly (unlike he has done previously) while Tinkerbells Effect showed some promise on he latest effort but could be one for the future in this company.
