Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63

22/1

Off the mark at the 19th time of asking at Laytown earlier this month, leaving the gelding still looking for a breakthrough success in nine Flat starts on turf. Tough ask off top weight.

Form: 4-85001

Ken's Sam's^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 62| D

8/1

Ran well in defeat on the beach at Laytown earlier this month but has been in and out of form in her four run turf campaign this summer. Place claims.

Form: 002063

(12)

My Good Brother¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 60| D

16/1

Popular veteran who is running 12lb higher than his win at Bellewstown two starts ago. Penalty for recent starts look harsh.

Form: 700012

Sayesse⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 60| D

13/2

Last win on turf came when in the care of trainer Mick Channon three years ago winning a Chester 5f handicap three years ago off a 29lb higher mark. Worth a check in the market on stable debut.

Form: 7-89907

Silk Cravat³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 60| D

12/1

Running well in defeat in the summer but recent efforts have been below=par and has not shown enough overall to be of interest here.

Form: 403209

Pulsating²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 59| D

25/1

Solid and consistent sort on the AW winning on no less than eight occasions but the mare remains a 13-race maiden on turf. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Form: 1746-78

(11)

Sestriere²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 56

8/1

Sending out a number of mixed messages in five starts since May and the daughter of Zebedee remains a eight-race maiden. despite a promising run in a Cork 7f handicap earlier this month. Capable of making her presence felt.

Form: 8-07603

Captain Power⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Halpin| T: G Elliott| OR: 54| BF| CD

8/1

Most recent win came in claiming company at Dundalk. Well handicapped and will look to find his form from two years ago when winning over C&D. Beaten favourite last time out and has questions to answer for now.

Form: 000985

Gopsies Daughter^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 53

10/1

All five career wins have come on turf and has been running well in defeat in a number of starts over the summer. Potentially dangerous mark could well be exploited here.

Form: 574734

Amazing One^t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 50

20/1

Sole career success has come on the AW at Dundalk with the gelding still looking no nearer to a breakthrough victory from 11 starts on turf.

Form: 360000

Fairy Tango¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 49

11/2

Not disgraced in a couple of handicap starts at Navan and when last seen in May finishing third of 30 at the Curragh over 6f. May need the run on return to action but not to be taken lightly.

Form: 66863

(19)

Pillar¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 47| D

8/1

Generally tough and consistent sort, running well in defeat of late at Bellewstown and on the beach at Laytown earlier this month. Enters calculations.

Form: 600033

Rag Tatter^e/s²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 46| D

16/1

Sole win in 34 starts came over this trip on AW at Dundalk. Not the most consistent sort and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 049307

A Likely Story^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 45| D

8/1

Has never been the easiest to catch right and now runs 12lb lower than last winning mark. Has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 703080

(5)

Intense Starlet¹⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Killian Leonard| T: E McCarthy| OR: 45| D

33/1

Winner of one of her 19 Flat starts on turf, with trainer Brian Ellison unable to coax a win out of the mare in four starts over the summer. Back with old trainer but looks opposable on return to action.

Form: 69-3050

(14)

Pindaric²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: M A Gallagher| T: P Cluskey| OR: 45

33/1

28-race maiden, without success in 16 Flat starts on turf for previous connections. Hints of promise when seventh of 14 beaten a little over 8L on stable debut at Roscommon earlier this month. Makes little appeal here.

Form: 573-257

(7)

Straffan³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey| OR: 45

20/1

Has failed to hit the frame in 12 starts on turf and has been generally been left wanting in a number of starts this term and others look to hold stronger claims in this event.

Form: 0-88050

Forecasts

Fairy Tango (11/2), Tie A Yellowribbon (11/2), Sayesse (13/2), Pillar (8/1), A Likely Story (8/1), Sestriere (8/1), Captain Power (8/1), Ken's Sam's (8/1), Gopsies Daughter (10/1), Silk Cravat (12/1), Rag Tatter (16/1), My Good Brother (16/1), Straffan (20/1), Amazing One (20/1), Fanny Blankers (20/1), Lily's Prince (20/1), Confident Kid (22/1), Pulsating (25/1), Pindaric (33/1), Intense Starlet (33/1), Doonard Prince (33/1)

The Denis Hogan-trained GOPSIES DAUGHTER deserves a change in fortune and can grab a sixth turf win here in this competitive contest. The eight-year-old can land the spoils ahead of Tie A Yellowribbon, second of 22 at Navan earlier this month, Bellewstown winner, My Good Brother and the consistent Pilar, who are likely to be his nearest pursuers. Any market move for Sayesse who makes his stable debut for Gavin Cromwell should be noted.
