Downforce^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 103| CD

12/1

C&D winner but it's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2018. 33/1 and blinkered, below-form twelfth of 22 in handicap over C&D 13 days ago. Visor back on now but others appeal more.

Form: 0022-20

40/1

Course winner but not seen on track since below-form seventh in 6f listed race at Navan 18 months ago. Hard to fancy on his return from long absence.

Summerghand^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: D O'Meara| OR: 112| D

11/4

Gained deserved win in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and not disgraced when eighth of 13 to Dream of Dreams in Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f) last time. This is easier so he holds leading claims.

Form: 216128

Urban Beat¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 107| CD

11/4

C&D winner who arrives on back of good second of 8 to Tarboosh in listed race at Doncaster (5f) 17 days ago. Firmly in the mix.

Ventura Rebel^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 101

10/1

18/1 and visored, below-par sixth in 6f listed race at York 20 days ago. Cheekpieces tried now but has fair bit to find on form.

Form: 4-63556

Forever In Dreams^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Fogarty| OR: 104| D

5/1

Smart filly at her best but (40/1) well held in Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f) 21 days ago. Blinkers tried now and not ruled out if back on song.

Form: 3-62730

Romantic Proposal¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Crosse| T: E Lynam| OR: 91| CD

9/1

C&D winner in July who hasn't been disgraced on both runs since, sixth of 22 in handicap over C&D 13 days ago. This is much tougher though so she's hard to enthuse over.

Form: 11-6146

(7)

Lil Grey¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 91| CD

16/1

C&D winner who arrives on the back of very good third of 22 in handicap here 13 days ago. Career best needed if she's to figure here however.

Form: 397-663

(3)

Schroders Mistake^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N G McCullagh| T: K J Condon| OR: 94| D

40/1

Winless this season but in excellent form since sent sprinting, third of 9 to Make A Challenge in Navan listed race 28 days ago. Cheekpieces tried now and much respected.

Form: 5-86033

Truth Prevails²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Leigh Roche| T: W McCreery| OR: 72

100/1

Fairly useful filly who opened her account in 5f maiden (9/2) at Navan last month. Out of her depth here however.

Form: 039-551

Forecasts

Summerghand (11/4), Urban Beat (11/4), Forever In Dreams (5/1), Southern Horse (7/1), Romantic Proposal (9/1), Ventura Rebel (10/1), Downforce (12/1), Lil Grey (16/1), Prince Of Naples (20/1), Son Of Rest (40/1), Schroders Mistake (40/1), Truth Prevails (100/1)

SUMMERGHAND predictably found the step up to Group 1 company too much in Haydock's Sprint Cup but wasn't disgraced there and looks ready to add to his Stewards' Cup win in these calmer waters. In-form Urban Beat rates the main threat to David O'Meara's consistent 6-y-o, although Southern Horse could also have a say after making a positive start with Jessica Harrington at Cork.
