Dun Na Sead¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 90| D

8/1

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/2) at Dundalk (5f) 16 days ago by 2½ lengths from Dontspoilasale, driven out. This is tougher but she's on a roll and could prove tough to pass.

Gustavus Weston^h⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J G Murphy| OR: 90

12/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. On a very tempting mark.

Form: 6-57070

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: A Murray| OR: 91| CD

80/1

C&D winner. 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) on return 83 days ago. Difficult ask.

17/2

11/10, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago, all out. Another thriving one who demands plenty of respect in hat-trick bid.

Form: 005311

Jon Riggens^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 84| BF| D

13/2

Latest win at Navan in May. Pulled up in handicap (4/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago won by Harry's Hill, reared and lost all chance at start. Strong market support for him there was interesting. Respected.

Form: 2-0314P

Harry's Hill²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Hassett⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 83| D

14/1

14/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Goes well under this claimer and dangerous again.

Form: 3-66101

(7)

Silmaniya²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 87| D

7/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good length sixth of 16 to Harry's Hill in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to firm, 8/1) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up.

Form: 2215-76

(3)

Dontspoilasale¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Conor Stone-Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 84| D

(5)

Gabriella's Spirit^p1,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 78| D

17/2

Good third of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 18/1) 27 days ago, sticking to task. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to note.

Form: 719-163

(13)

Arnhem³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Crosse| T: M G Quinn| OR: 77

18/1

First run since leaving Jack W. Davison when respectable 1¼ lengths third of 12 to Dun Na Sead in handicap (7/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 35 days ago, never nearer. Merits consideration.

Form: 2223/2-3

(9)

Little Queenie²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 75

12/1

Won 5-runner handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 9/2) 20 days ago, making all. Tricky to fancy back in this much more competitive scenario.

Form: 237541

So Majestic^h,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 77| D

14/1

Career best when winning 23-runner handicap (4/1) at Naas (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Sosallycanwait, cosily. Hit hard for that (raised 12 lb) but she's a big player nonetheless.

Form: 740211

Mymomentintime²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jamie Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S A Finn| OR: 71| BF| D

10/1

5/2, good second of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 23 days ago, nearest finish. That was a good return after a break and he's respected.

Form: 016-532

Forecasts

Running Cool (4/1), Jon Riggens (13/2), Silmaniya (7/1), Dun Na Sead (8/1), Gabriella's Spirit (17/2), Curraheen Princess (17/2), Mymomentintime (10/1), Little Queenie (12/1), Gustavus Weston (12/1), So Majestic (14/1), Harry's Hill (14/1), Dontspoilasale (18/1), Arnhem (18/1), Kodi Red (80/1)

Another strong renewal of this good sprint handicap with 4 runners on hat-tricks and RUNNING COOL fancied to come out on top again after his cosy C&D success 6 weeks ago. Dun Na Sead is feared along with Mymomentintime.
