Eacharn^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 61| CD

4/1

Winner over C&D from 11 starts over the combination, hitting the frame on a further seven occasions. Ran Fashaar to 1L over C&D late last month and more likely than some to run his race.

Amazing One^h1,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 58| CD

8/1

Sole win from 11 starts at the track came over C&D. Held in a number of starts when running over 6f since August but holds claims back up in trip and sits on his last winning mark.

Loaded⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57| D

5/1

Made some late progress to finish fourth of 14 over 7f on first start for this trainer last month before a respectable third of 13 beaten 5L over 1m here last week. Handicapper drops him 3lb.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Breen| OR: 57| D

10/1

AW specialist who won twice at Southwell earlier this year when in the care of trainer Brian Ellison. Claimed out of the yard following a run on the beach at Laytown in September. Market likely to be the best guide.

Khazix¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Shinnick⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 56

33/1

16-race maiden on the Flat and has been beaten in three starts, including finishing last but one in a 13-runner 6f handicap, for current connections since leaving the yards of Harry Dunlop and more recently Daniele Camuffo.

Pulsating¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 56| CD

13/2

Well held in three starts on turf since September. Likely to be suited on return to this surface given the mare is two from five over C&D. Draw and racing 11lb lower than last winning mark is a concern.

Form: 6-78007

Chagall²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: E Lynam| OR: 54| BF| D

10/1

Distance winner, will look to improve on desperate debut on this surface when a 14L beaten favourite in mid-October. Veterinary Officer examined the gelding, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

16/1

Seven-race maiden for trainer-Tracey Collins. Eighth of 13 beaten 6¼L on AW debut here looking one pace over 1f out. Dropped in trip for stable debut.

Tribal Path^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D English| OR: 49| CD

4/1

Winner of three of his 16 starts over C&D with the last win coming over three years ago off a 24lb higher mark. Best effort for sometime when second of 14 beaten 1¼L behind La Derniere Fois. Negative draw a concern.

Form: 225452

Northern Surprise⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Emma Louise Doyle⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 48| CD

16/1

Two wins from 12 starts over C&D. Well held on return to action over the combination late last month. Capable of a big run if in the mood racing 2lb lower than last winning mark.

A Likely Story^v²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: N G McCullagh| T: T G McCourt| OR: 45| CD

20/1

Sending out a number of mixed messages in his starts over the summer. Winner of one of his four starts over C&D. Possibilities on return to this surface but needs to put a couple of below-par efforts last month behind him.

Form: 080300

Ollie Bang⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers| OR: 45

33/1

Six-race maiden. Ridden and no impression over 1f out on AW debut over 1m last week when sent off at odds of 50/1. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove.

Form: 0790-U8

Primadonia³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: M A Gallagher| T: M P Sunderland| OR: 45

66/1

Missed 632 days after leaving Richard Hughes and has been tailed off in a couple of poor efforts since returning to action in March and more recently in a Cork 1m handicap last month. Unlikely to make a significant impact here.

Forecasts

Eacharn (4/1), Tribal Path (4/1), Loaded (5/1), Pulsating (13/2), Amazing One (8/1), Ticks The Boxes (10/1), Chagall (10/1), Mr Andros (12/1), Northern Surprise (16/1), Rule The Sea (16/1), Cappadocia (20/1), A Likely Story (20/1), Rudisha (20/1), Ollie Bang (33/1), Khazix (33/1), Everyhouronthehour (50/1), Primadonia (66/1)

EACHARN for trainer Andrew Slattery can get back to winning ways here from an advantageous draw and following up on a pleasing effort on return to this track late last month when finishing 1L adrift of Fashaar. The C&D winner has hit the frame over the combination on a further seven occasions and can get the better of Amazing One who will appreciate the step up in trip here. A Likely Story could go well at a price in this contest on return to this surface while, Tribal Path and Loaded should not be underestimated from negative draws.
