11/1

Solid and consistent gelding over the summer running well in defeat without getting his head in front. Fifth of 11 beaten 4¾L in a 1m soft to heavy ground handicap at the Curragh earlier this month. Should make his presence felt.

50/1

Winner of three of his 20 Flat starts on turf, the Exceed And Excel gelding has plenty to find here on the balance of a number of dismal efforts since July.

9/1

Off the mark for connections at the 10th time of asking when landing a Curragh soft ground handicap last week over a similar trip off a 9lb lower mark. Revised mark looks rather harsh for a head win.

16/1

Five-race maiden yet to hit the frame on any of her starts over trip ranging from 6f to 1m2f. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.

Won for the fifth time on turf earlier this month when landing a Gowran Park 7f heavy ground handicap off an 11lb lower mark. May struggle on these terms.

7/1

Winner of this contest 12 months ago coming from stall two. Latest success came in a Gowran Park 1m soft ground handicap off a 5lb lower mark in September. Beaten since but likely to appreciate return to this track.

Not much to shout about for the six-race maiden. Well beaten on both handicap starts so far running over 1m2½f and 1m4f. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Conversant^b⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 64

9/2

Solid and consistent sort, winner of two of his last five starts including a victory at the Curragh in a 6f soft ground handicap earlier this month off a 9lb lower mark. Another bold show looks to be on the cards.

Nothing of note in three career starts to date, well beaten and no impression on each occasion since her debut in June. Plenty to find in this contest.

Poor form in a number of career starts since the daughter of Lawman debut in July. Possibly best watched on handicap debut.

Miracles In May⁶

7/2

Sending a number of mixed messages in his efforts since April. Second of 21 beaten a head on his latest start in a Curragh 7f soft ground handicap earlier this month. Repeat of recent efforts should see the gelding in the hunt for more prize money.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: K J Leonard| T: Miss S A Finn| OR: 59| D

9/1

Consistent sort, winner of five of his 31 Flat starts on turf. Beaten 2L on heavy ground at Limerick earlier this month and could put up a notable performance now racing 8lb lower than last winning mark.

Off the mark at the 15th time of asking for connections when landing a Curragh 7f handicap on soft ground off an 8lb lower mark earlier this month. Can go well again with conditions to suit.

Losing run now totals 30 and has not won since landing a Limerick 1m handicap off a 7lb higher mark two and half years ago. Looks vulnerable in this company.

33/1

Not won for eight starts. Produced a career best effort on heavy ground on his penultimate start in a Gowran Park 7f handicap earlier this month finishing second of 16 beaten 3½L. Well held since, never runs two races the same.

First Reserve: Lightly raced maiden in the last 15 months. Not seen since finishing down the field in a Curragh 6f handicap on yielding ground in May. Looks up against it here.

C&D winner TUAMHAIN is better than her most recent run earlier this month with the daughter of Mayson winning at Gowran Park last month, her first win since landing the spoils in this contest 12 months ago. The Donnacha O'Brien-ridden filly can get the better of her biggest rivals, likely to be Youceeyouceecee, the top weight, Takeachancejimmy and last time out winner, Conversant for the Denis Hogan yard.
