9/2

Landed a Laytown and Dundalk double last month with a couple of hard fought victories over 6f/7f. Well beaten off a revised mark at this track earlier this month and may have to settle for a minor role once again.

Angels⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 73

11/2

Dual-winner for Tim Easterby but now without a win in nine starts for current connections. Drops from Listed company and could be worth a check in the market on first visit to the track.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: M P Sheehy⁽⁴⁾| T: A Fogarty| OR: 71

16/1

French import has shown very little in the way of ability since making his stable debut earlier this month. Worth a check in the market with dynamic pilot in the plate.

Silk Cravat³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁴⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 71| CD

18/1

Has a win and two places to his name from seven C&D starts. Has been running with credit over the summer on turf without getting his head in front but is a much different proposition returning to this surface.

Trade Talks¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁷⁾| T: C Moore| OR: 70

33/1

Five-race maiden, well beaten in four AW starts for previous handlers Jeremy Noseda and Chris Wall. Any market move could be interesting with talented rising star of the weighing room in the plate.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁴⁾| T: Mrs P Dobbs| OR: 69| CD

25/1

Experienced sort over C&D winning five of his 20 starts over the combination, hitting the frame on a further six occasions. Has to be considered running 6lb lower than last winning mark here.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: G M Ryan| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 67| D

10/1

Winner over this trip but plenty to prove following a dismal effort round here earlier in the month. Able apprentice takes the ride but looks a tall order on recent form shown.

Lily's Prince²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: O J Orr| T: G Donnelly| OR: 67| CD

18/1

Duel winner over C&D and wouldn't have to improve too much on his seasonal debut at this track last month to get involved in this company. Efficient and capable pilot in the saddle currently chasing the apprentice jockeys title in second place.

Pocotaligo (10/3), Outside Inside (4/1), Sir Ottoman (9/2), Angels (11/2), Farnese (7/1), Kasbah (8/1), Able Jack (10/1), Alfirak (14/1), No Speed Limit (16/1), Lily's Prince (18/1), Silk Cravat (18/1), Arbourfield (25/1), Barend Boy (33/1), That's Not Me (33/1), Trade Talks (33/1), Nisior Donn (33/1), Boing (66/1)

The former Jessica Harrington-trained POCOTALIGO won on stable debut for Gavin Cromwell earlier this month when landing a claimer over C&D. The three-year-old can improve again for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces to win for the second time in a matter of weeks. Six-time winner at the track, Arbourfield for owner George Dobbs can go well once again racing 6lb lower than last winning mark. C&D winners Silk Cravat and Lily's Prince both are entitled to have designs on prize money. Outside Inside and Kasbah are not easily dismissed, while first reserve, Nisior Donn should be noted if making the line-up.
