8/1

Promising early season form appears to have leveled out in a number of starts over the summer. Last seen on this track three years ago. Looks a tall order given current form.

17-race maiden but the daughter of New Approach has placed here on both previous visits to this venue. Improvement needed but no forlorn hope.

9/2

Off the mark for connections at the eighth time of asking for connections at Bellewstown in August. Pleasing debut at this track when last seen in September finishing third of 14 beaten 1L behind Dubai Rainbow. Step up in trip likely to suit.

11/2

Boasts a record of a win and three place efforts from seven starts over C&D. Beaten 4L on latest run here last month and shouldn't be underestimated.

9/1

10-race maiden, well held on four starts over hurdles and insix dismal efforts on the Flat including in a couple of handicaps over 8f last month. Hard to fancy until the daughter of Frozen Power shows signs of ability.

25/1

13-race maiden in Britain but knocked on the door multiple times in low-grade handicaps at up to 1m4f. Weakened 4f out on stable debut at Limerick when last seen in April. Watching brief on return to action in first-time blinkers.

8/1

11-race maiden. Career best effort finishing second of seven beaten ¾L over C&D in a March claimer. Second of 13 on a recent British raid and worthy of consideration here.

The Lady's Bid^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Killian Leonard| T: P M Rogers| OR: 50

14/1

Winner of one of her 10 career starts, off the mark at the eighth time of asking when landing a Navan 1m2f handicap in September off a 4lb lower mark. Well held since but worth a market check on AW debut.

Form: 49U159

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Foley| T: M Halford| OR: 49

4/1

Disappointing nine-race maiden but ran well on debut at this track last month finishing fourth of 14 beaten 3½L over C&D when short of room in the closing stages. Leading player.

The Canford Cliffs gelding, CLIFFTOP can add to his sole career win in a Bellewstown 1m handicap in August. The three-year-old finished third of 14 beaten 1L behind Dubai Rainbow at this venue over 1m when last seen in September. That contest has produced the fifth place Lachet to win since as well as the Anthony McCann-trained Fashaar. C&D winner Ragtime Red hinted at a return to form over the combination last month and can grab a place alongside the Mick Halford-trained improver, Spelga. Come Back And Stay ran well in defeat over C&D last month and another bold effort looks likely.
