12/1

Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, opened his account on the level in stylish fashion in 13-runner maiden at Tramore (16f, good, 8/15) 17 days ago, comfortably. Open to further improvement.

Form: 81

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Conor Stone-Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 95| D

13/2

Fairly useful gelding. 35/10, 9½ lengths last of 6 to Mister Saint Paul in Prix La Force at Longchamp (9f, soft) 17 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Jean-Claude Rouget and has been gelded since last seen. Market support should be noted.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: P A Fahy| OR: 93

Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Operating below his best when last seen, tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21.7f, soft, 33/1) 5 months ago. Significantly down in trip.

Lust^t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 94| D

11/4

Useful gelding. 9/1, shaped as if better for the run after 9 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 53 days ago, not unduly punished. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 1/3210-7

Quar Shamar⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 102| D

10/3

Lightly-raced winner. 14/1, well-beaten last of 15 to Age of Kings in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 10 weeks ago. Could well get back on track.

Forecasts

Warrior Brave (11/8), Lust (11/4), Quar Shamar (10/3), Caracal (13/2), Cristal Clere (7/1), Filey Bay (12/1), Drop The Anchor (66/1)

Cases can be made for most of these, but preference is for LUST, who shaped as if better for the run after 9 months off at Fairyhouse in July and Ger Lyons' charge is fancied to notch a fifth career success. Second choice is Warrior Brave, who bounced back to form to pick up his third win of a productive campaign at Naas just under 6 weeks ago. Filey Bay and Quar Shamar can do battle for third spot.
