11/1

Latest win at Galway in August. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (17.8f, soft, 15/2) 45 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back down in trip and blinkers back on. More needed.

Form: 22-3144

Wolf Prince²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 77

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Useful hurdler. Very good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to A Wave of The Sea in Spring Juvenile Hurdle (10/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) when last seen in February.

Form: 4733

Got Trumped^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 73

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner over fences. Pulled up in minor event chase (4/1) at Listowel (17f, good) 29 days ago. Improvement needed on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 29/2-50

Politicise^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gavin Ryan⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 73

7/1

25/1, much improved when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Would be a danger to all if in a similar mood back in this sphere.

Form: 0-33680

Evening Primrose^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 75

12/1

Promising sort. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 11/1) 11 days ago by 2½ lengths from High Lake. 9 lb rise tolerable and this well-bred filly may have more to offer.

Form: 8-90001

Dawn Over Owning^t⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 72| D

11/1

Promising sort. Last of 13 in juvenile hurdle (11/4) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 41 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Successful on latest start in this sphere at Killarney in July.

Form: 580021

Swift Verdict⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins| OR: 72

7/4

Promising individual. Blinkered for 1st time, third of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm, 5/1) 89 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Gosden and he's open to improvement.

Form: 443

High Lake^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 65

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in a Cork handicap (10f, soft, 5/2) 6 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip and needs to improve.

Form: 95826

Forecasts

Swift Verdict (7/4), Wolf Prince (10/3), Fiadhna (6/1), Politicise (7/1), Eight And Bob (11/1), Dawn Over Owning (11/1), Snegurochka (11/1), Evening Primrose (12/1), Legal Spin (12/1), Got Trumped (14/1), High Lake (16/1), Harvest Bow (25/1)

SWIFT VERDICT improved when third on handicap bow at Yarmouth in July, which was his final run for John Gosden. He makes his debut for the Mullins yard on a fair-looking mark and could be the answer here with this stiffer test likely to help unlock further improvement. Evening Primrose did the job well at Thurles recently and needs considering, along with Wolf Prince and Dawn Over Owning.
