Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106

Form: 85-3136

Doldido^p,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Jordan Gainford⁽⁵⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 105

Opened his account over fences in 18-runner handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good) 11 days ago, deserving extra credit too given some late interference. Not taken ligthly in follow-up bid up 4 lb.

Form: 126361

King's Song^b,t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: J B Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Broad| OR: 102| D

16/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.7f, good, 14/1) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 60P-253

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 100| D

Form: 496327

Chesterville^h⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 94

2/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 2m4f maiden hurdle at Limerick on yard bow in July. That wasn't a strong race but neither is this, so he remains of interest now back over fences.

Form: 85650-1

Rubiana¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR: 94| CD

33/1

Isn't the most consistent and ran one of lesser races back over fences when pulled up in handicap at Wexford (25.2f, good) 13 days ago.

Form: 0-P220P

Carried^p¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 90

25/1

Proved better than ever in finally opening his account over jumps at Wexford in June. Probably found race coming too soon at Tramore and ran respectably back at Wexford last time.

Form: 2/0-2174

Forecasts

Chesterville (2/1), Pat Coyne (7/2), Doldido (11/2), Archies Charm (7/1), Arrycan (7/1), Dakota Beat (8/1), The Lying King (8/1), Siberian Star (14/1), King's Song (16/1), Ardaghs Choice (16/1), Carried (25/1), Rubiana (33/1), Clonguile Way (33/1), Jack Fiasco (40/1), Pat's Pearl (66/1)

CHESTERVILLE won an uninspiring affair over hurdles at Limerick in July, but there’s likely more to come from him, so he remains of firm interest now back chasing. Pat Coyne has proven consistent this summer and can go well again, while Archies Charm may do better still as a chaser.
