150/1

28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Fairyhouse (13.7f, good to soft) in June, struggling under 5f out and soon beaten. Subsequent break/return to AW needs to have positive effect now.

Bring Us Paradise^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: L Comer| OR: 75| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in September. Below form fourteenth of 23 in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (14f, heavy) 16 days ago, met some trouble. Mark demands that little bit more in any case.

Form: 655010

Ceallach¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 80| C

5/4

Off the mark in maiden company here (10.7f) in July. Good second of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, finishing well and unlucky not to win. Has taken well to this surface and he's one to be interested in.

Boom Boom Boom⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C Byrnes| OR: 73| CD

10/3

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D 9 days ago, soon clear. Booking of McDonogh a plus and very much of interest again.

Forecasts

Ceallach (5/4), Boom Boom Boom (10/3), Jake Peter (7/1), Lunar Power (9/1), No Say Ever (10/1), Summit Star (10/1), Grandmaster Flash (12/1), Dalvey (16/1), No Trouble (16/1), Bring Us Paradise (25/1), Still Standing (50/1), Bold Approach (50/1), Annecherie (50/1), One Cool Poet (66/1), Arabian King (66/1), Construct (66/1), The Vegas Raider (150/1)

Off the mark in a maiden over shorter here in July, CEALLACH was arguably unlucky not to follow up in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, just failing to get up having had an interrupted passage. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with Boom Boom Boom rating the chief danger on the back of his C&D success 9 days ago. Lunar Power and Dalvey complete the shortlist.
