Lion Ring^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S D Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 60

7/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Good second of 19 in handicap (17/2) at the Curragh (6f, good) 8 days ago. Trainer going well. Not taken lightly.

Peppermint Bay¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane| OR: 58

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, inadequate test. Makes handicap debut and slightly longer trip will help.

Belardeen³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jake Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 57

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 32 days ago, never landing a blow. Still, it remains early days and she may yet have more to offer.

Form: 7576

12/1

Below form 7 lengths tenth of 16 to Hastily in handicap (8/1) at Cork (7f, good) 9 days ago, fading inside final 1f. Had previously shaped encouragingly when fourth in a C&D event but maiden status is off-putting.

16/1

Forecasts

Hastily (5/1), Born Invincible (5/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (11/2), Lion Ring (7/1), Belardeen (7/1), Empress Of Bough (8/1), Stanhope (17/2), Teddy Boy (10/1), Two Metres Apart (10/1), Andromedas Kingdom (10/1), Tawaazon (12/1), Ecclesiastical (14/1), Hodd's Girl (16/1), Tammany Hall (16/1), Eleuthera (16/1), Seanjohnsilver (20/1), Brave Display (22/1), Markievicz (25/1), Hot Sunset (28/1), Peppermint Bay (33/1), Invincible Ourse (33/1), Vernotstoppen (50/1), Man Is King (50/1), Wait A Little (66/1), Stickyourneckout (66/1)

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with a shout and it may pay to take a chance on 4-y-o MARKIEVICZ. A winner at the Curragh in June, she's in better heart than recent form figures suggest and her present mark doesn't look beyond her. Easy Cork scorer Hastily, Born Invincible, Lion Ring and Ecclesiastical head up an exhaustive shortlist of possible dangers.
