11/2

Latest win at Gowran in June. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Down Royal (7f, good) 15 days ago. Yard in good form and she should continue to give a good account.

Maud Gonne Spirit^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 83| D

17/2

18/1, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. More needed in order to follow up here, but she's not discounted all the same.

Form: 5-84001

(8)

Deidra^b³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: D K Weld| OR: 81

7/1

2 lengths fifth of 7 to Affable in handicap (4/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 35 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0-00545

(6)

Allagar^b⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 82| D

14/1

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁵⁾| T: K J Condon| OR: 75| D

7/1

Bit below form fourth of 15 in handicap (6/1) at the Curragh (5f, good) 20 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip and likely to make presence felt.

Forecasts

Petticoat Rule (11/4), Silver Service (10/3), Sh Boom (11/2), Affable (7/1), Deidra (7/1), Maud Gonne Spirit (17/2), Mia Mento (12/1), Allagar (14/1), Camdeboo (14/1)

Preference is for SH BOOM, who bagged a Gowran handicap in June and she put in a good shift when runner-up off this mark at Down Royal last time. Maud Gonne Spirit is likely to attract support following her recent Galway success, but Affable has been broadly progressive this season and is next on the list ahead of Petticoat Rule.
