Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: R Coakley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Winner over C&D of this contest 12 months ago off a similar mark. May well have been gearing up for another assault on this race in his most recent starts at Roscommon and Galway last month.

Jazz Lady²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: G P Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 70

10/1

Off the mark for connections at the 12th time of asking on her seventh Flat start on turf when landing a Galway 1m4f soft ground handicap last month off a 13lb lower mark. Life more difficult under this penalty.

Form: 5-65021

4/1

Never a factor on the beach at Laytown last month but not easily dismissed based on a number of pleasing efforts since joining current connections earlier in the summer. Rates a leading contender.

Lady In Lavender³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 68| C

4/1

Will have delighted connection when getting off the mark at the seventh attempt on turf when landing a Gowran Park 1m soft ground handicap last month off a 16lb lower mark. Well held off new mark at Navan on Wednesday.

Form: 070010

Swiss Army Officer¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 68

14/1

Swiss Spirit gelding. Half-brother to three winners, including 1m3½f winner Roman Riches and 1m4f winner Dyna Might. Three-race maiden and possibly beat watched on handicap debut.

Form: 004

Maymine¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 65

50/1

Miserly return of one win from 10 career starts with the daughter of Mayson sole win coming on her second start in April last year. Down the field when last seen in May and a watching brief on stable debut.

Form: 50000-0

Whatharm⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 65

12/1

Appears to be struggling a little in a couple of starts off his revised mark since landing a Gowran Park 1m handicap in June. Plenty more needed in this group.

Ecoeye¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Shinnick⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 64| D

13/2

In good form right now, running well in defeat at this venue before a 1½L defeat at Cork earlier this month. Good form on heavy ground and one for any shortlist now 3lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 90-0035

Mk Drama^t⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 66

11/1

Four-race maiden not discredited in a couple of runs at Roscommon and at Cork last month but appears to have a bit to prove in a race of this nature.

Form: 0-539

Clifftop Dancer¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: M A Gallagher| T: E P Harty| OR: 63

33/1

Failed to build on an encouraging run at Naas in April when well down the field in three starts since. Hard to recommend on recent evidence.

Form: 40-2000

Solomons Seal³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 63| D

9/1

12 races this season has not dented the geldings enthusiasm for the game as he continues to run well in defeat. Once again liable to find a couple stronger.

Youceeyouceecee^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: W J Lee| T: Miss S A Finn| OR: 60| CD

10/1

Winner of five of his 29 career starts. Without a win in five runs this term. C&d winner could be of interest if returning to form now racing 7lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 0-20340

Stoked⁵¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: L Comer| OR: 59| D

11/1

Lightly raced in the last two years. Well held on stable debut when last seen in May but worth a market check now 5lb lower than last winning mark.

Yafordadoe³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 61

10/1

Seven race maiden, but is no lost cause running well in defeat in a number of starts last month. More improvement needed in this company.

Undeniable Fact¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: R O'Brien| OR: 58

Four-race maiden well held on all starts including when tailing off to finish last of 24 at the Curragh over 1m last month.

Voyageofdiscovery^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 57| CD

33/1

Second Reserve: C&D winner who has run well in defeat in a number of starts in big-field handicaps over the summer before disappointing efforts at Galway and Cork recently. Vast improvement needed to figure.

The winner 12-months ago, NOTHING TO LOSE appeared to be coming back to something resembling his best at Roscommon in August finishing second of 14 beaten 2L adrift of Cyrus Dallin over a similar trip. An 8L defeat on his latest start means he comes into this race on the same winning mark as last year. Ecoeye appears to be the biggest danger with a clear and obvious chance here given previous good form on heavy ground and now 3lb lower than last winning mark. Top weight, Angels and C&D winner Youceeyouceecee look next best.
