Aisteoir¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: W T Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 64

5/1

Daughter of Vocalised out of a Rock Of Gibraltar mare. Big improvement on her first couple of starts when running the highly thought of, Patrick Sarsfield to 4L when finishing second of 14 at the Curragh last month. Capable of a bold effort.

Form: 602

Kinch³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 58

10/1

Won on his final start for trainer Ger Lyons at Ayr in July. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts for new connections before a disappointing effort early last month. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Roman Warrior⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 56

13/2

Ran well to finish second of 14 beaten ½L over C&D on return to action in September following a 217 day break. No surprise to see the Holy Roman Emperor gelding go one better.

Form: 0-95752

Waitaki^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: S P Bird⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 54| C

16/1

Hard to fancy on the balance of three starts on turf last month and the fact the daughter of Invincible Spirit is now racing 16lb lower than last winning mark.

Drombeg Duke¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 54| C

1/1

Off the mark fpr connections at the eighth time of asking on his first visit to the track last month when landing a 7f handicap beating 13 rivals 1½L. Should be a leading contender in this contest.

Form: 0-92041

Trueba⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 54

11/2

Winner of one of his 12 career starts. Sole win came in a Naas 6f handicap in June off a 8lb lower mark. Very much worth a market check on Polytrack debut.

Form: 143204

Guiding^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: S Nolan| OR: 53

25/1

Miserly return of one win from 15 career starts but the daughter of Most Improved has been running with credit over the summer. Not beaten far over 6f at this track last month, the filly can improve for step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 742007

Hidden Spark²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ross Coakley| T: Mrs D A Love| OR: 52

16/1

Poor return of one win from 20 career starts for the daughter of Dream Ahead including four defeats at this venue previously. No impression approaching the final furlong over C&D earlier last month and more needed in this company.

Form: 132470

Courtney Crimson^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P Byrne| OR: 45

50/1

Well beaten and never nearer in five career starts to date and hard to begin to construct a case for the daughter of Acclamation on Polytrack debut.

Form: 00/00-0

Ollie Bang⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: H Rogers| OR: 45

50/1

Five-race maiden has shown little or no aptitude in her infrequent career starts to be considered in this contest on just his second start in 12 months.

Form: 0790-U

One For Della¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: T Doyle| OR: 47

12/1

Posted a career best effort when running Yafordadoe to 3¾L at the Curragh over 7f last month. The winner has gone on to more success at Galway. Makes Polytrack debut.

Drombeg Duke (1/1), Lady In Lavender (4/1), Aisteoir (5/1), Trueba (11/2), Solomons Seal (6/1), Roman Warrior (13/2), Kinch (10/1), One For Della (12/1), Punches Pious (12/1), Hidden Spark (16/1), Waitaki (16/1), Guiding (25/1), Me Well (33/1), Sally Gap (33/1), Ollie Bang (50/1), Swift Justice (50/1), Courtney Crimson (50/1)

The Jim Bolger-trained, AISTEOIR showed a big improvement on her first couple of starts when running the highly thought of Patrick Sarsfield to 4L when finishing second of 14 at the Curragh last month. The winner is rated 86 and there could be a feeling that the mark of 64 for the daughter of Vocalised looks a little on the lenient side. C&D winner last month, Lady In Lavendar can give the selection the most to think about ahead of the likes of Roman Warrior and Drombeg Duke, a winner here last month. *First reserve, Solomons Seal must be given consideration if making the line-up.
