Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 86| D

14/1

Useful gelding at his best but last of 8 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good to soft) 69 days ago on final run for George Scott. Significantly back down in trip on polytrack debut.

Form: 6-63008

(3)

Talking Tough³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: M Mulvany| OR: 66

100/1

Fairly useful gelding. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) 37 days ago, left poorly placed. More needed here.

Angel Palanas^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁵⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 82

11/2

Fairly useful gelding. Gained quick hat-trick with career-best effort to land 13-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 12 days ago. Another bold showing is very much on the cards.

Form: 008111

Eloy D'amerval^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 83

15/2

Lightly-raced winner but only thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 40/1) 19 days ago. Yard in good form so could bounce back.

Form: 1-000

Phoenix Open^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sam Ewing⁽⁷⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Form: 348503

(9)

Will Be King^t⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Foley| T: G O'Leary| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Latest win at Roscommon in June but only tenth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8f, soft) 55 days ago. Stable having good spell and C&D winner so he's not ruled out.

Form: 811000

Tony The Gent^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 74| C| D

10/1

Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. 4/1, creditable fourth of 12 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, heavy) 8 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 702774

Minky⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Leigh Roche| T: A Kinirons

200/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, last of 10 in maiden at Galway (11.8f, soft) 87 days ago on final run for Madeleine Tylicki. Easily opposed.

Form: 000

(8)

Undercommunication³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

25/1

Built on debut promise when sixth of 8 in maiden (33/1) at Listowel (7f, good) 36 days ago. Should prove suited by this step up to 1m so no forlorn hope.

Form: 86

(5)

Scherbatsky^v1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Powell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 65

50/1

Fair filly. 15/2, modest ninth of 14 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, soft) 27 days ago. Visored for polytrack debut but others appeal more. RESERVE

Forecasts

Gee Rex (5/4), Angel Palanas (11/2), Eloy D'amerval (15/2), Will Be King (10/1), Tony The Gent (10/1), Phoenix Open (10/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (10/1), Boitron (12/1), Comin' Through (14/1), Mulzamm (16/1), Undercommunication (25/1), Fashaar (33/1), Dendrobium (33/1), Scherbatsky (50/1), Wishbone (50/1), Talking Tough (100/1), Minky (200/1)

ANGEL PALANAS is thriving at present so is hard to side against in his bid to complete a quick four-timer following three handicap victories. Gee Rex is another who is enjoying a profitable season so he rates the chief threat on the back of a recent win over 10f here. Course winner Tony The Gent appeals as the pick of the remainder.
