Ask Nile^t²⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ricky Doyle⁽³⁾| T: S Neville| OR: 130

7/1

Not won since May 2017 but ran well over fences at Navan in September behind a useful sort before disappointing back over hurdles when last seen in October.

Form: 6/54637-

Gwencily Berbas²⁰²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 123

18/1

One from 15 over the larger obstacles. Out of form in three starts over fences between November/January. Racing 12lb lower than last winning mark is a concern.

Form: P/64BP9-

Quantatmental¹³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 123

7/1

Career best effort over fences finishing second of nine at Naas in March, albeit beaten 11L. Beaten over hurdles since but one to watch in the market on return here.

Form: 255627-

The Caddy Rose¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 122| D

11/4

Winner on chasing introduction at Navan over 2m4f in September but has been seen to struggle in a number of subsequent starts since including pulling up when last seen in March. Plenty to prove.

Cecil Corbett³³⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-1| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 121| C

50/1

Struggle off a revised mark since winning at Roscommon in June 2019. Gallant veteran, hard to fancy on return to action on first start for 11 months.

Form: P/1700P-

Peacocks Secret^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 119| CD

10/1

Tough and genuine sort, winner of three of his 19 starts over fences, hitting the frame on a further three occasions. Out of form in a couple of starts since returning to action at Tipperary last month.

Form: 788U-58

Stamp Your Feet²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| OR: 117| D

5/2

Off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking on stable debut, landing a Roscommon handicap off a 6lb lower mark over a similar trip last month. Another bold bid likely.

Form: 5/5090-1

Reach Up⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 112

10/1

Gelding, winner of two of his 21 starts over fences. Mixed messages in four starts since racing resumed in June over a variety of trips. Could claim a place racing 9lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 94-7730

Persian Wind^t¹⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 111

28/1

Has failed to complete in all three starts since his Fairyhouse win in January off a 6lb lower mark. Hard to entertain his chances on first start since March.

Form: 931PFP-

Crazywork De Vassy^b⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M J McDonagh| OR: 106

10/1

Well beaten but not disgraced in a number of starts over the larger obstacles since racing returned in June. Could be dangerous off current rating, 4lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 4/P0-637

Stamp Your Feet (5/2), The Caddy Rose (11/4), Ask Nile (7/1), Quantatmental (7/1), Reach Up (10/1), Peacocks Secret (10/1), Crazywork De Vassy (10/1), Final List (10/1), Gwencily Berbas (18/1), Persian Wind (28/1), Cecil Corbett (50/1)

An ideal opportunity for the J P McManus-owned, STAMP YOUR FEET to continue his progress. The eight-year-old was off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking on stable debut, landing a Roscommon handicap off a 6lb lower mark over a similar trip last month and can improve again in this contest at the expense of Reach up who is far more talented than his effort at the Galway festival suggests. The Caddy Rose for trainer Noel Meade, the top weight, Ask Nile and Persian Wind would not surprise if producing much improved efforts.
