Von Krolock¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: T Doyle| OR: 65| D

4/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 12/1, below form eighth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 11 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Pick of his exploits this season give him claims here.

Form: 634038

Dear Daphne¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J M Sheridan| T: R K Watson| OR: 63

40/1

Hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (8.1f, good, 100/1) 13 days ago. Others make stronger appeal judged on his efforts this campaign.

Form: 1-07700

I Bid You Ajou⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Gavin Ryan| T: M Fahey| OR: 65

7/1

Bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 17/2) 8 days ago. Previous second in 28-runner Curragh handicap was his best effort yet and he's in the mix with a repeat of that.

Form: 326729

Mags²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: K P Cotter| OR: 62

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fifth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 20/1) 25 days ago, headway 2f out and running on despite not being ideally placed. Less exposed than most she meets here and respected back at 7f.

Form: 5-565

(7)

Suityourselfboss^p¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Browne| OR: 58

12/1

7/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (1m) in April, produced to lead over 1f out and driven clear. Handicapper has reacted but she's a player if translating improvement showed then back on turf after 5 months off.

Form: 7-32271

(18)

Han Solo^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: A Leahy| OR: 54| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Respectable tenth of 18 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8.9f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 18-8500

(6)

Miami Sunshine¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 57

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran well when third on return in 12-runner Gowran handicap (1m, heavy) in May. Had little chance at the weights when seventh of 10 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f) later that month and this more suitable back from 104 days off.

Form: 593-377

(4)

Liamo^b1,t⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 56

100/1

100/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, good) 47 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 3-00809

(15)

Akeela⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Cahill| OR: 51

12/1

Winner at Naas in July. 14/1, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 23 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago, not knocked about. Merits consideration.

Form: 003914

(16)

Exceeding^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Horgan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 55

25/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good, 33/1) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 408000

(10)

Hezahunk^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Caffrey⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 49

15/2

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 50/1) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and switch of headgear could well have positive effect now.

Form: 822604

(17)

Nordic Passage^p⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: James Ryan⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 49| D

14/1

Form: 000300

The Crafty Girl¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: Alan McIntyre| OR: 53

33/1

28/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 10 days ago, always behind. Hard to fancy dropping back down in trip.

Form: 5-07000

(20)

Lucky Queen^p,t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 48| C

14/1

Sole career success from 23 runs came here (1m) 2 years ago. Showed benefit of reappearance stable debut when respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good) 4 days ago, missing break but making late headway. Positive tactics may well be re-employed here.

Form: 0760-97

(12)

Lorr's Girl^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: R Sweeney| OR: 47

10/1

Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap back on and return to 7f in her favour on that evidence.

Form: 056964

(19)

Phoenix Princess²⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Fenton| OR: 47

Forecasts

Mags (10/3), Von Krolock (4/1), I Bid You Ajou (7/1), Hezahunk (15/2), Shaaden (15/2), Shamrock Sprig (8/1), Lorr's Girl (10/1), Akeela (12/1), Han Solo (12/1), Suityourselfboss (12/1), Lucky Queen (14/1), Nordic Passage (14/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (20/1), Spirit Of Eagles (20/1), Exceeding (25/1), Miami Sunshine (33/1), The Crafty Girl (33/1), Dear Daphne (40/1), Phoenix Princess (66/1), Liamo (100/1)

MAGS arrives easily one of the least exposed and ran her best race yet without being ideally placed when fifth in a big-field Curragh handicap (6f) 25 days ago. She's of interest returned to this longer trip, with Shaaden, Suityourselfboss and Akeela heading the list of dangers. Lucky Queen is another to bear in mind back down in trip from her much-reduced mark.
