18/1

Solid efforts over the summer have been followed by a couple of pleasing efforts over 7f without worrying the main protagonists recently. Looks up against it here but step up to 1m may help.

25/1

Hinted at ability for Amy Murphy, but was soundly beaten in a big-field handicaps at the Curragh on his first couple of starts for current connections when last seen in August. Faces a tough task in this company.

11-race maiden who has proceeded to hit the frame on just one occasion. Lightly raced over the last two years and not seen since June. Isn't easy to make a case for.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 55

Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success in six career starts to date. Well held and never nearer on first start here over C&D when last seen in September. Others preferred.

Reverberation⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Lambe| OR: 53| CD

25/1

Boasts a record of a win and a place from five starts over C&D. Last win came over the combination off an 8lb lower mark in October 2018. Not beaten far in a couple of starts in October/November and could be a lively outsider here.

Forecasts

Miracles In May (7/2), Tio Esteban (4/1), Red Avenger (15/2), Suntory Times (8/1), Bodak (8/1), Munfallet (9/1), Mulzamm (12/1), Nightflight (12/1), Pulsating (12/1), Adnap (18/1), Midnitemudcrabs (18/1), Reverberation (25/1), Mazeo Lad (25/1), Scarlet Seymour (33/1), Miss Moneybags (33/1), Punches Pious (33/1), Clueless Hill (66/1)

The Jessica Harrington-trained BODAK can win for the second time over C&D despite a 4lb rise in the weights for her win when last seen in November. The improving four-year-old can benefit from a nice pull into the race from Miracles In May and Tio Esteban who could make the early running. C&D winners Munfallet and the evergreen Denis Hogan-trained Red Avenger can go well in a wide open contest where regular place hitters Mulzamm, Reverberation and Suntory Times should not be quickly dismissed.
