Chally Chute²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford & T Collins| OR: 99| BF| D

11/1

Useful gelding who shaped as if still in good form when 5½ lengths fourth of 11 to Vischio in listed race (5/2) at the Curragh (12f, heavy) in November, needing stiffer test. Absent since and this run may well bring him on.

Form: 313044-

Cristal Clere¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: J Nallen| OR: 93| C

16/1

Useful gelding. Course winner. 10/1, creditable second of 7 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip now and work to do with a few here on these terms.

Form: 8-64462

(5)

Deakin^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 97| CD

2/1

C&D who ended last season on the up and has continued that theme this campaign, splitting a pair of next-time-out winners when runner-up at the Curragh (10f) in May. Creditable seventh of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f) 11 days ago and he remains one to be positive about.

Form: 4411-27

Raise You⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 107| D

3/1

Smart gelding. Off 20 months/hooded for 1st time, shaped as if retaining all his ability when fourth of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes at this course (10f, heavy, 10/1) 73 days ago. One to be interested in returned to listed company.

Form: 11215/4

Serious Challenge¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 102

7/1

Smart gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 3¼ lengths third of 8 to Harbour Wind in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good, 7/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 494433

La Isla Mujeres³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 94

7/2

Lope De Vega filly who scored twice for Ralph Beckett at up to 11f last season. Off 8 months, not seen to best effect on debut for new yard when 5¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Candleford in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good) 38 days ago. Possible she could step forward again.

Form: 31135-5

Snowcapped⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 98

14/1

Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Madame Ambassador in listed race (9/1) at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 41 days ago, running on. Worth another crack at this longer trip.

Form: 3340-53

Forecasts

Deakin (2/1), Raise You (3/1), La Isla Mujeres (7/2), Serious Challenge (7/1), Taipan (7/1), Chally Chute (11/1), Snowcapped (14/1), Cristal Clere (16/1)

RAISE YOU confirmed he retains all his ability after a lengthy absence and shaped better than the bare result in the process when fourth in Group 3 company in April and he looks a serious player back at listed level. Stablemate Deakin was better than the bare result in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 11 days ago and he's feared, as is Serious Challenge, who arrives in good form.
