Dandys Gold¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: W J Fitzpatrick| OR: 79| CD

8/1

Has a record of one win and three places from seven starts over C&D. Last win came over the combination in March off a 1lb higher mark. Well held in three starts on turf since August but folly to rule him out back at this venue.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D English| OR: 77

12/1

Goes well here hitting the frame on a couple of occasions over C&D. Running with credit in a number of defeats over the summer on turf and requires plenty of respect in this contest.

Course winner that has also won over this trip. Yard among the winners at this track in the last month hitting the target on two occasions with this Excellent Art gelding being one of them, successful over 6f off a 6lb lower mark.

Well held finishing third of four runners as the 5/4 beaten favourite on his last visit here in April. Running well in defeat on turf over the summer and enters calculations in this contest.

Syrena¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77| CD

25/1

A win and a place to her name from three starts over C&D. The win came in April off a 7lb lower mark. Will need to improve on a number of below-par efforts over the summer.

Evasive Power^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Halpin| T: D Hogan| OR: 76

5/1

Lost all chance of a successful British last month when blowing the start in a Wolverhampton 6f handicap. Market likely to be the best guide here representing a yard who have been among the winners at this track in the last month.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: R O'Brien| OR: 75

33/1

Six-race maiden not disgraced when making steady progress in four starts for trainer Mick Appleby. Will have disappointed new connections with a couple of below-par efforts on turf last month. Yard among the winners here seven days ago.

Form: 9643-88

Dancing On A Dream^b³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 74| BF

7/1

Off the mark on turf on final start for Jessica Harrington before a gallant run behind Facethepuckout over C&D last month. Yard usually go well at this venue in October but sent out eight losers here in the last month.

Form: 22-3413

Fujaira King¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 74

13/2

Was unfancied and well beaten on Newmarket's September debut before a promising effort at Yarmouth in April on final start for trainer Roger Varian. Pleasing run at Fairyhouse on stable debut last month. Appears capable of making his mark.

Form: 0-43

Parkers Hill¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74

12/1

Best effort since switched to handicaps came when finishing runner-up in first time blinkers in a 7f handicap at Limerick in July. Out of sorts in a couple of starts since and plenty to prove in this company.

Jered Maddox³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: D Marnane| OR: 73| D

16/1

Has a couple of pleasing efforts over C&D previously. Off the mark on turf in a weak 7½f maiden at Ffos Las in July before a couple of defeats off his revised mark at the Curragh and Listowel last month. One to note in this contest.

Forecasts

Evasive Power (5/1), Annabelle Rock (6/1), Highly Approved (6/1), Fujaira King (13/2), Dancing On A Dream (7/1), Kafu (7/1), Dandys Gold (8/1), Sir Ottoman (10/1), Parkers Hill (12/1), Twenty Minutes (12/1), Jered Maddox (16/1), Honor Oak (20/1), Syrena (25/1), Time Stands Still (25/1), Fit For Function (25/1), Golden Valour (33/1), Able Jack (33/1)

A wide open contest where 8lb separate the whole field. Preference is for the the Ger Lyons-trained KAFU. The No Nay Never gelding is better than his run over C&D in April suggests and the three-year-old has been running with plenty of credit in a number of starts this summer. C&D winners, Highly Approved and Annabelle Rock appear capable of bold bids once again while Twenty Minutes for Damian English and Tom Hogans Honor Oak should not be underestimated.
