Earl Of Bunnacurry²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 57| BF

8/1

Cosistent gelding running well in defeat in a number of starts over a variety of trip over the summer. Could be of interest now racing 1lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 696346

Dream Point^h¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 56

16/1

Off the mark at the 17th attempt for connections when winning a claimer over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe. Beaten in handicap company since when last seen in July. Needs a few to falter.

Form: 748817

Rockview Roman³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J C McConnell| OR: 54| CD

9/4

Glimmers of improvement on second handicap start in a Gowran Park 1m contest in September before getting off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking when landing a 5K handicap over C&D off a 6lb lower mark last month. More to come.

Form: 90-0971

Bellepower^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D N Curran⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 53| BF

11/2

13-race maiden ran a career best when finishing second of 13 beaten 1¼L behind Rockview Roman over C&D last month. One for the shortlist meeting her conqueror on better terms.

No Trouble^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Cosgrave| OR: 51

33/1

Nine-race maiden showing little signs of ability including an 8½L defeat over C&D last month. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 090009

Aunty Audrey^h³³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: C P Hoban| T: P J Flynn| OR: 46

14/1

Mainly running well in defeat in a number of starts over the summer. Well held in a couple of runs here last winter but not to be taken lightly on his best form here.

Form: 5-60904

Brokopondo^b1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 45| CD

28/1

C&D winner with plenty miles on the clock and no success since 2017. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 507060

Emperor Of Fashion⁴¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 45

50/1

Has produced a number of laboured runs since May, never a factor on each occasion. Much improved show needed to play a role here.

Form: 870000-

Harvey Specter¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 45| BF

18/1

Winner of two of his 32 career starts. Last seen at this venue finishing a well beaten 11th of 14 over 1m and 13th of 14 in a 7f contest three years ago. Interesting if subject of a market move.

Form: 624453

Rock On Aidan²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: S Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45

12/1

Has made a poor start to his career well beaten in a couple of bumper starts since July before finishing down the field in three dismal efforts on the Flat. Unlikely to be making a significant impact in this contest.

Form: 000

Santorini Sun^b³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 45

25/1

Well held in a couple of previous efforts here running over 7f and 1m. Generally well held in a couple of starts since return to action in September and others preferred.

Form: 378008

(2)

Come Back And Stay³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45

9/1

Ran well in defeat on second start at the track finishing third of 13 beaten 3L behind Rockview Roman and Bellepower over C&D last month. Another bold bid expected.

Form: 9-03763

Early Strike^t,v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 45

5/2

Mixed bag of results this term with an improved effort posted on his latest start over C&D earlier this month. First-time visor required to have a positive effect.

Forecasts

Rockview Roman (9/4), Early Strike (5/2), Bellepower (11/2), Earl Of Bunnacurry (8/1), Come Back And Stay (9/1), Carried (10/1), Rock On Aidan (12/1), Aunty Audrey (14/1), Dream Point (16/1), Flying Focus (16/1), Harvey Specter (18/1), Santorini Sun (25/1), Paistiul (25/1), Brokopondo (28/1), No Trouble (33/1), Emperor Of Fashion (50/1), Romantically (50/1)

The first three home in a 13-runner handicap over C&D last month renew rivalries here with preference for the John McConnell-trained COME BACK AND STAY. The three-year-old can take advantage of a slightly better draw to settle into the race earlier than his conquerors Rockview Roman and Bellepower who can once again give a good account here. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Earl Of Bunnacurry and Dream Point for trainer Denis Hogan can go well and are worthy of a market check as post-time approaches.
