Red Heel¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: M Mulvany| OR: 59| CD

10/1

Didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 11 days ago, all out. 3 lb rise fair, but more needed in order to follow up.

Form: 38406-1

Sideshow Bob¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 56

4/1

Respectable 2¾ lengths third of 14 to Emphatic in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, nearest finish. Good chance of reversing those placings given that he's now 7 lb better off with that rival.

Form: 90704-3

Porterinthejungle⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 55

7/2

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 14 in handicap (13/2) at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 05039-3

(10)

Ban Og⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J G Murphy| OR: 52

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 18/1) 67 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 68/648-

(11)

Darkest Hour^p1²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Mia Kavanagh⁽¹⁰⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 49

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft), doing too much too soon. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Sarah Lynam.

Form: 9/090-

(2)

Overtake^b,t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: M Halford| OR: 49

9/2

5/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 49 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 425534-

(4)

Enchanted One^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 47| CD

33/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when 11¼ lengths twelfth of 14 to Emphatic in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 11 days ago. Visor back on and has work to do.

Form: 06005-0

(16)

Majestic Matriarch^h,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S Foley| T: M Hassett| OR: 45

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 12/1) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 0065-4

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: A J Slattery⁽³⁾| T: A Kinirons| OR: 45

66/1

250/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (6f) 65 days ago. Significantly back up in trip for this handicap debut. Out of sorts.

Form: 000090-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁵⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 50| CD

11/1

C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (13/2) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Porterinthejungle (7/2), Sideshow Bob (4/1), Overtake (9/2), Munfallet (17/2), Emphatic (10/1), Red Heel (10/1), Neyland (11/1), Silk Cravat (11/1), Jackmel (14/1), Majestic Matriarch (16/1), Bringloid (16/1), Alice Milligan (16/1), Enchanted One (33/1), Sors (33/1), Minky (66/1), Ban Og (66/1), Darkest Hour (80/1)

SIDESHOW BOB has improved in C&D handicaps the last twice, lattely putting in good late work when third to Emphatic, and it would be no surprise whatsoever were she to turn the tables on that rival this time. Like fellow last-time-out winner Red Heel, Emphatic needs more following a rise in the weights and the selection may have most to fear from Alice Milligan and Munfallet.
