Lenebane Stakes (Listed)

Off time: 19:40 | Winning time: 2m 41.33s

(8)

Geometrical²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 100

18/1

Useful gelding. 100/1, very good 1¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Reve De Vol in listed race at the Curragh (10f, soft) 27 days ago, better placed than most. Remains to be seen if he can back that up.

Form: 50/00-05

(4)

Layfayette^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade| OR: 98

11/4

Useful gelding. 20/1, respectable sixth of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Worth another try at this longer trip and enters calculations.

Form: 122-146

(1)

Springbank^b,t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Halpin| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 97| D

18/1

Useful gelding. 5 lengths seventh of 9 to Sonnyboyliston in listed race (28/1) at Limerick (12.5f, good) 11 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 49-2367

(2)

Cape Islay⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 76| D

28/1

Fairly useful mare. Latest win at Limerick in June. 14/1, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 4 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Uphill task.

Form: 00-6416

(7)

Haparanda²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld| OR: 99| D

15/2

Useful filly. Posted encouraging fourth on return in Cork listed race (12.1f). Below that level over same C&D since but has the form to be a big player here.

Form: 1310-46

(6)

Reve De Vol²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 105

2/1

Useful gelding. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race (12/1) at the Curragh (10f, soft) 27 days ago. Remains low mileage and holds strong claims here.

Form: 18354-1

(3)

Hector De Maris¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M C Hussey| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 91

13/2

Useful colt. 33/1, good eighth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.7f, good) 10 days ago. This is tougher, though.

Form: 021-578

(5)

Point Nepean³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 84

6/1

Once-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 6/1, won 10-runner maiden at Navan (13f, soft) on debut 30 days ago. Asked a bigger question now.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Reve De Vol (2/1), Layfayette (11/4), Point Nepean (6/1), Hector De Maris (13/2), Haparanda (15/2), Springbank (18/1), Geometrical (18/1), Cape Islay (28/1)

This can go to REVE DE VOL, who found improvement when scoring on his return at the Curragh earlier this month and remains with potential. Haparanda and Layfayette are feared most.
