Liquid Luck¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: J Feane| OR: 68

16/5

Off 8 months and tongue strap on when fair seventh of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (9f) in June. Has since switched yards and worth a look on back of another break from further reduced mark.

Form: 25490-7

Old Tom Higgins^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: L Comer| OR: 69

4/1

12/1, very good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, no match for winner but pulling clear of the rest. Claims with a repeat now equipped with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 400902

Eagle Terrace^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 68

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 14 in maiden at this course (12f, 28/1) 7 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Blinkers back on. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 24-906

Anjah^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Shane Foley| T: J McAuley| OR: 62

11/2

12/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly from career-low mark again partnered by Shane Foley.

Bright Glory⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 61

7/2

Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 15/2) 44 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, he remains relatively low-mileage and bounce back not ruled out

Form: 099850

St Cianans Fire^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: J C McConnell| OR: 61

11/1

25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (6f) 40 days ago, missing break. Significantly back up in trip now but others make greater appeal.

Wild Cherry³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: R Roberts| OR: 60

25/1

First run since leaving J. J. Feane when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 28/1) 37 days ago. That was her first start for 14 months and this promises to reveal more.

Form: 69047-0

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: D K Weld| OR: 59

9/1

Fourth of 7 in maiden (18/1) at this course (7f) 28 days ago, essentially faring no better than of late under more positive tactics. Needs to get back on track now tackling all weather.

A tricky handicap with the vote in favour of LIQUID LUCK. He's been absent since finishing a respectable seventh in a big-field handicap at the Curragh in June yet has been given a chance in the weights and it would come as no surprise to see him go well on debut for his new yard. Old Tom Higgins, Bright Glory and Eagle Terrace head up the dangers.
