Exquisite Acclaim^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 88| C

11/1

Useful gelding. Course winner. Good fourth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, taking time to get going. Needs to back that up now.

Form: 405504

Orandi¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: N G McCullagh| T: A J Martin| OR: 86| D

100/1

Fairly useful gelding. 33/10, won 12-runner claimer at Longchamp (8.4f, good). Off 141 days. First run for yard after leaving I. Elarre Alvarez and very interesting if market vibes prove to be positive.

Form: 003021

Final Voyage²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Kelly| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 83| D

9/1

Useful gelding. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Respectable third of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, 16/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 0-55083

Transcendental¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C D Maxwell| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 83

80/1

Fairly useful filly. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (23/1) at La Teste (5.5f, good). Off 156 days. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving P. Sogorb. Market should guide.

Form: 3-21600

Hotrocket¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 83| D

11/10

Starspangledbanner gelding who confirmed promise of opening exploits when off the mark with plenty in hand in a Fairyhouse maiden (7f) in July. Has since switched yards and big player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 4-21

(17)

Marsa³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Crosse| T: E Lynam| OR: 81| CD

8/1

Slade Power filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 17/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, driven out. No surprise to see her give another good account.

Form: 066161

Tartan Skirt^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁷⁾| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 81

66/1

Fairly useful filly. 150/1, 8½ lengths twelfth of 14 to Juncture in listed race at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and this less demanding than assignments she's faced so far this term.

Form: 15-0080

(6)

Toriangel²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 78| C

6/1

Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden at this course (1m, 5/1) 21 days ago, travelling best and always holding on. This understandably tougher but she's still low-mileage, notably on this surface.

Form: 445621

Benavente³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Crosse| T: R O'Brien| OR: 76| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Last of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, heavy, 66/1) 33 days ago. Return to AW needs to have positive effect now but that rates distinctly possible.

Form: 3158-00

(5)

Chavajod⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C Geerdharry⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 76| D

11/1

Respectable second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Laytown (7f) 71 days ago. First run for yard after leaving M. D. O'Callaghan. Can make presence felt.

Form: 2-23002

(12)

My Little Tip^p,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 77| D

50/1

Winless for George Boughey/Gemma Tutty earlier this year and fared no better in 2 starts for present yard, eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 28/1) 7 days ago.

Form: 040858

(15)

Super Over^p⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: D P Coakley| OR: 76| CD

12/1

Fairly useful gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap (11/2) at this C&D 42 days ago, just holding on. Built up a good record at this venue and he's entitled to remain competitive.

Form: 322001

Chrismoltisanti²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 74

66/1

Off the mark in a maiden at Cork (6f) in July. 33/1, twenty second of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 23 days ago, not seen to best effect having raced near side. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 053190

Might And Mercy^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 74| D

9/1

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Cork in August. 13/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form.

Forecasts

Hotrocket (11/10), Toriangel (6/1), Marsa (8/1), Final Voyage (9/1), Might And Mercy (9/1), Exquisite Acclaim (11/1), Chavajod (11/1), Super Over (12/1), Is That Love (16/1), Fastar (25/1), Barbapapa (33/1), Benavente (50/1), My Little Tip (50/1), Tartan Skirt (66/1), Chrismoltisanti (66/1), Transcendental (80/1), Orandi (100/1)

HOTROCKET impressed when making his third start a winning one in a Fairyhouse maiden (7f) back in July and, with the prospect of plenty more to come on that evidence now starting out for his new yard, he gets the nod making his all-weather debut. Stablemate's Final Voyage and Chavajod are others fancied to play a part along with Marsa, whilst Might And Mercy ran well over C&D last week and may do better still on this surface.
