The Shunter^h,t⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Simon Torrens⁽³⁾| T: E Mullins| C

14/1

Smart winner at 21f over fences. 5/4, sixth of 10 in minor event hurdle at Galway (21.4f, good to soft) 8 days ago, dropping away before the last. Had previously shaped encouragingly when third on Flat at Killarney and he may do better again in this sphere.

Form: 13

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Coen| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 76

16/1

Latest win at Leopardstown (1m) in July. Respectable seventh of 16 in handicap (17/2) at Navan (8f, good) 19 days ago, slowly away. However, work cut out to make his mark in this stronger affair.

Form: 165017

Monaasib^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 96

2/1

Useful gelding. Creditable fifth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 25/1) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Arrives relatively fresh for this time of year and he's worth considering.

Form: 875-005

Quizical¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 88

20/1

Useful gelding. Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Bit below form fourteenth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (1m) in May, ridden under 2f out and dropping away. Absent since and market best guide on return.

Form: 0504-00

Confident Star^p1⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 93

11/1

Fairly useful colt. 5/1, last of 5 in minor event at Naas (7f, soft) 73 days ago. Something to prove back from a break with cheekpieces added.

Form: 6217-75

(2)

Amber Kite⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 89

10/1

Fairly useful filly. 11/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good), not ideally placed. Off 93 days.

Form: 70060-6

Goodie Two Shoes^t⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

11/10

Tongue strap on, won 8-runner maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 9/4) on debut 64 days ago. Pitched in at deep end here but she could be very useful.

Form: 1

Bright Moment⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane

150/1

Pride of Dubai filly. Thirteenth of 16 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 6 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Goodie Two Shoes (11/10), Monaasib (2/1), Once Upon A River (4/1), Amber Kite (10/1), Confident Star (11/1), The Shunter (14/1), Howyoulikethat (16/1), Quizical (20/1), Bright Moment (150/1)

GOODIE TWO SHOES looked potentially useful when quickening up impressively to make a winning debut in a Killarney maiden in July and she could well be worth chancing to come out on top again with potential for better still distinctly possible. Monaasib and The Shunter are others expected to be in the mix.
