Leabaland²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Sam Ewing| T: M M Lynch| OR: 61| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Gowran in May. 4/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Holding form well of late and no surprise to see him in the mix.

Form: 186842

Cousin Shay^h1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell| OR: 61| C

5/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (12/1) at this course (7f) 9 days ago. Hood on 1st time and possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 976-201

Rosie Rock^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁴⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 59| D

20/1

Ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 21 days ago, not seen to best effect having raced wide. Previous third in a 7f claimer wasn't devoid of encouragement so not entirely dismissed.

Form: 006639

Munfallet^b⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: N P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Coakley| OR: 53| CD

Form: 126000

Circles^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Luke McAteer| T: A McCann| OR: 53| BF

10/3

Good second of 14 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7f) 9 days ago, rallying when headed and just failing. Less exposed than most she meets here and a repeat gives her sound claims.

Form: 804042

Navorrosse⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁴⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 51

40/1

Final Fantasy^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: James Ryan⁽⁴⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 49| D

40/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (12f, 28/1) 7 days ago. That was her first start for 8 months and better showing anticipated now.

Form: 544000

(8)

Kudbegood^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁴⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 48| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 22/1) 31 days ago. Yet to find his best form for present yard but return to this venue may help from his much-reduced mark.

Form: 2-07008

(14)

Be Adored³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Horgan⁽⁴⁾| T: D Murphy| OR: 49

100/1

First run since leaving M. D. O'Callaghan when twelfth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 35 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Others make more appeal.

Form: 7-08070

Bellick²³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: D N Curran⁽⁴⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 47| C

50/1

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form ninth of 29 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 28/1) 23 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 698339

33/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 16 days ago, ridden home turn and one paced. This return to further may well help.

Forecasts

Miss Abby Jools (2/1), Leabaland (3/1), Circles (10/3), Cousin Shay (5/1), Kudbegood (12/1), Indiana Grey (14/1), Sheila (16/1), Rosie Rock (20/1), Sovereignty (33/1), Farnese (33/1), Destivelle (33/1), Final Fantasy (40/1), Navorrosse (40/1), Bellick (50/1), Munfallet (50/1), Step Back In Time (66/1), Be Adored (100/1)

A winner over C&D in September, MISS ABBY JOOLS again ran well and was deserving of extra credit having made her challenge from further back than others that featured in the finish when runner-up back here 2 weeks ago. She gets the nod with the prospect of more to come, with Circles, who went very close last time, and Cousin Shay next best. Leabaland completes the shortlist.
