Commanche Falls^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 110| CD

5/4

Smart gelding. C&D winner. Best effort this season when 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Believing in listed race at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Big player at this level.

Form: 412-802

Tango Flare^p1,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Heffernan| T: P T Foley| OR: 98| D

7/1

Fourth in a big-field C&D handicap in May. 5/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 23 days ago by ½ length from Dandyville. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 475-041

Ano Syra¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J Feane| OR: 106| C| D

11/2

Smart mare. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 12 lengths last of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 7/2) 16 days ago. That clearly wasn't her running and she's a major player if bouncing back (third in Group 2 over C&D prior to that).

Form: 300-439

Pink Sorrel¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 87| C

33/1

Useful filly. Course winner. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago. Big career best needed.

Form: 3402-03

Sister Lola^t²⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: W Joyce| T: A Sexton| OR: 40| D

200/1

Modest mare. Thirty eight runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (6f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Easy to look elsewhere.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 100| CD

6/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 103

10/3

Useful gelding. Good 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Bucanero Fuerte in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 8/1) 42 days ago. Trainer going well. On the upgrade recently.

Forecasts

Commanche Falls (5/4), My Mate Alfie (10/3), Ano Syra (11/2), Jakajaro (6/1), Tango Flare (7/1), Dandyville (20/1), Pink Sorrel (33/1), Sister Lola (200/1)

COMMANCHE Falls looked on the way back when runner-up in this grade at Haydock last time and he's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Ano Syra ran a shocker at Cork but is very dangerous on these terms, with My Mate Alfie another to consider.
