Course winner. 40/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Others make more appeal.

11/1

First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when fourth of 6 in minor event (9/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) on IRE debut 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut. One to note in the betting.

11/2

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, readily. Up 10 lb for that but can't be ruled out.

Form: 8713-21

22/1

Below form sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 72 days ago. Useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Not taken lightly.

Form: 63095-8

7/1

Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm, 18/1) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 41-449

(7)

20/1

28/1, bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, running on. Has good chance on pick of form.

8/1

(11)

Carracci^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 91

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. Twentieth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 28/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Too soon to write off.

Form: 51-390

(16)

Sirjack Thomas¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 79| D

66/1

Latest win at the Curragh in May. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Seems to have lost his form.

Form: 500100

(13)

Lan Cinnte¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 86

5/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Up in trip. Going the right way and might well get her head back in front.

Form: 842-212

(10)

Lord Vader^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: E Mullins| OR: 72

12/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable 5 lengths fourth of 15 to Alanya in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago, left with too much to do. Can get involved if everything drops right.

Form: 326-044

Forecasts

Lan Cinnte (5/2), Coeur d'Or (11/2), Alanya (6/1), Redstone Well (7/1), Londoner (7/1), Zabeir (8/1), Joe Masseria (8/1), Overheer (10/1), Good Too (11/1), Lord Vader (12/1), Jungle Cove (12/1), Carracci (16/1), Monaasib (18/1), Cordouan (20/1), Star Harbour (22/1), Saltonstall (28/1), Sirjack Thomas (66/1)

LAN CINNTE is progressive and shaped better than the result when second at the Curragh last time, so she's worth chancing with the longer trip expected to suit. Last-time-out winners Redstone Well and Alanya look major dangers.
