Malbas¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 61

10/1

Losing run is mounting up but in good form on AW earlier this year, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) in February. No forlorn hope back on turf from his reduced mark.

Form: 780-435

Maysonlight^b1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 61

50/1

Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft, 33/1) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Slieve Bearnagh^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 61

10/1

Bit below form fifth of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft, 11/1) 15 days ago, unable to reach a position to threaten. Proved largely consistent last term and good showing not ruled out.

Form: 23520-5

Berlusconi²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Foley| T: J C McConnell| OR: 59

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this course (10f, heavy) in August, failing to improve for the longer trip/switch to handicaps. Still, it remains early days ahead of return.

Form: 0560-

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57| D

12/1

18/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 25 days ago, never a threat. Booking of Keane catches the eye but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 310/000

16/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. 28/1, creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Not discounted.

Form: 311847

Cobb And Co^p,t⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: P Stafford| OR: 52

125/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 54 days ago. Others make greater appeal returning to turf.

Form: 22500-0

Matilda With Me^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: R Sweeney| OR: 52

3/1

5/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 29 days ago. No reason why she won't go well again.

Form: 50-0322

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ryan| T: H Rogers| OR: 49

11/1

150/1, fifteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 144 days ago. Operating from a handy mark returning to the level so no surprise to see a good showing.

Form: 353467-

Ellaat²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Halpin| T: N C Kelly| OR: 48| BF| D

5/1

Second of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good, 5/2) 25 days ago, beaten only by an improver on the day. Of interest again with a repeat from this sort of mark.

Form: 123/00-2

Matilda With Me (3/1), Ellaat (5/1), Tyriana (6/1), Divine Celt (13/2), Power Of Lazarus (9/1), Slieve Bearnagh (10/1), Malbas (10/1), Clifftop (11/1), Muntahez (12/1), Aussie Valentine (14/1), Lady Of Luxury (16/1), Anfaass (25/1), Thekeyisnottopanic (40/1), Waterville Lady (50/1), Berlusconi (50/1), Maysonlight (50/1), Bruinneall (100/1), Firstman (100/1), Cobb And Co (125/1), Isolde (150/1)

Having fallen in the weights, ELLAAT bounced back to form and found only an improver too strong at Limerick 25 days ago, keeping on well but headed near the line. He gets the nod to back that up and come out on top. Clifftop, Matilda With Me and Slieve Bearnagh are others to consider.
