Syrena¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75| CD

13/2

A win and a place to her name from four starts over C&D. Never a factor on return to this venue earlier this month over the combination and more needed here.

Form: 285860

Little Clarinet^t²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

11/1

Well held in a couple of starts here when in the care of trainer David Marnane. No better on first start for current connections here over 6f. Running with credit on turf over the summer but needs to improve on return to this surface.

Form: 542045

Janets Wish

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Foley| T: P W Flynn

33/1

Daughter of Camacho out of a Namid mare. Closely related to two-time winner Wirral Girl, successful over 5f/6f. Best watched on debut run.

Never Rains¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 68

9/2

The good and solid form over the summer has dissipated in a number of recent starts with the daughter of No Nay Never producing below standard efforts since last month. Drop in trip may assist on third start at this track.

Distant Mirage³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J F Levins| OR: 69

14/1

One from seven starts on the AW in Britain for trainer James Tate, winning a 6f Wolverhampton handicap in February. Well beaten in a Fairyhouse 7f contest on stable debut last month. Others look more convincing.

Form: 3-13650

Dubai Rainbow^v³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: E Lynam| OR: 65| CD

5/2

Won for the second time in her career when landing a 1m handicap here last month off a 6lb lower mark. Solid record at this track including a win over C&D. Has the form to make a bold bid from stall 4.

Form: 3-89731

Penny Green¹⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: C Moore| OR: 55

66/1

Lightly raced maiden of six races. Last of 13 on return from a 855 day break at Wolverhampton when last seen in April. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 87086/0

The Feathered Nest^t⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 78| D

25/1

One from three on a AW surface winning at Chelmsford over 6f three years ago when in the hands of trainer Richard Fahey. Nothing of note in three starts for current connections but worth a check in the market.

Form: 387-607

(7)

Maccliff⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James J Doyle| T: G Hussey

66/1

Well held when down the field in four of desolate efforts so far, including on AW debut over 6f at this venue earlier this month. Form doesn't warrant support here.

Scream²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 63

7/4

Running well in defeat of late including when finishing fourth of 14 beaten 2½L behind Sir Ottoman over 6f at this track last month. An improved effort on that performance can be expected.

Form: 443034

Lappet^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 59

20/1

Sole win in 17 starts came in handicap company at Musselburgh earlier this year. Led to halfway at this venue over 1m2½f earlier this month before weakening approaching the final furlong to finish 11th of 14 beaten over 8L.

Form: 242600

Woman Touch^t²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D N Curran⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J G Coogan| OR: 50

66/1

Has failed to build on a promising debut run at this venue over 1m in February. Needs to improve on her most recent starts when last seen in the spring to take a hand here.

Form: 909

Ascot Dreamer^t³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Reserve 1| T: M L Fagan| OR: 50

66/1

First Reserve: Has hit the frame here on one occasion from three visits to the track over 12 months ago. Winning on turf over the summer for trainer David Brown in Britain before watching her form go into a tailspin. Tough ask on stable debut.

Scream (7/4), Dubai Rainbow (5/2), Never Rains (9/2), Syrena (13/2), Piper Bomb (8/1), Little Clarinet (11/1), Distant Mirage (14/1), Gopsies Daughter (16/1), Santorini Sun (16/1), Lappet (20/1), The Feathered Nest (25/1), Mimic's Memory (25/1), Janets Wish (33/1), Woman Touch (66/1), Ascot Dreamer (66/1), Maccliff (66/1), Penny Green (66/1)

The Edward Lynan-trained DUBAI RAINBOW looked in good shape as he landed her second win at the track last month off a 6lb lower mark. The filly can make light of the extra weight as the daughter of Tamayuz attempts to make two from two over C&D. The Ger Lyons-trained Scream can emerge as the biggest danger following a good run at this venue last month over 6f. Lappet, for trainer Gavin Cromwell and course winner, Piper Bomb can compete for the minor honours while Syrena, winner over C&D and the Denis Hogan-trained Never Rains are both capable of a return to form.
