8/1

Creditable thirteenth of 27 in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Still looks bit high in weights.

Affable^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan⁽³⁾| T: K J Condon| OR: 77| D

13/2

Good third of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 11/1) 21 days ago, best work finish. Step back up in trip is a plus and she's not taken lightly.

Form: 78-5943

Night Of Romance²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 76

Ezine³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 85| D

7/2

Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 4/6, won 14-runner maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) 36 days ago, making all enthusiastically. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut. Opening mark stiff enough but can improve.

Form: 21

Colfer Kay^b1²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: N G McCullagh| T: K J Condon| OR: 73

Count To Five²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Oliver| OR: 71

28/1

Thrice-raced winner. Won Sligo maiden in May but below form when thirteenth of 17 on handicap debut at the Curragh (6f, good) 21 days ago. Bit more likely needed.

Form: 6-10

(7)

Petticoat Rule^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: W J Lee| T: G Scott| OR: 71| D

8/1

Rare below-par effort when ninth of 11 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good) 8 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 213-569

(6)

Princess Rajj^p,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79| D

9/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Listowel (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 7 days ago, pushed out to win shade readily. Much higher in weights now but can give another good account.

Form: 25-4211

(3)

Bells On Her Toes^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 76| CD

11/2

C&D winner in May but looked unwilling when 3¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Princess Rajj in handicap (9/2) at Listowel (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Bit of improvement needed in competitive race.

Form: 3-68316

(8)

The Pocket Flyer⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Crosse⁽³⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 66

50/1

Second in Limerick maiden last year but that remains a standout effort. 50/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good) 8 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 052-998

Forecasts

Ezine (7/2), New York Angel (9/2), Bells On Her Toes (11/2), Night Of Romance (6/1), Affable (13/2), Pretty Rebel (8/1), Petticoat Rule (8/1), Excuzio Joe (8/1), Princess Rajj (9/1), Pale Iris (12/1), Count To Five (28/1), The Pocket Flyer (50/1), Colfer Kay (66/1)

A competitive heat. NEW YORK ANGEL looked potentially useful in maidens last term and her recent win here suggested she may be on the way to belatedly fulfilling that promise. Night of Romance is likely to improve for her return and is feared, whilst Ezine is completely unexposed on handicap debut.
