Procrastinate¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| CD

1/1

Siyouni colt. Looked a smart prospect when winning 15-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut. Has 6-month absence to overcome in this stronger race but he's sure to improve.

Form: 1

Snellen¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 94| D

11/2

Useful filly. Latest win at Gowran in July. Good second of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 11/1) 15 days ago. Respected.

Transcending Glory^p⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 93| D

17/2

Useful gelding. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (15/2) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) in July and possible all was not well when finishing last of 9 in listed race at Cork 44 days ago. Player at this level if able to bounce back.

Form: 2-12619

Elinor Dashwood^h⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 82| D

12/1

Fairly useful filly. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 9/1) 6 days ago. Failed to impress with her attitude there and others are preferred.

Goal Exceeded⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 76

16/1

Fairly useful gelding. 33/1, 5¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Bucaneer's Spirit in handicap at Navan (8f, good) 8 days ago. Difficult to envisage him turning the tables.

Form: 463877

Tokenomics³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 85| D

7/2

Useful gelding. Latest win at Leopardstown in July. Run best excused when eighth of 16 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm, 11/1) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Still very much worth viewing positively and he's a major player.

Forecasts

Procrastinate (1/1), Tokenomics (7/2), Snellen (11/2), Bucaneer's Spirit (13/2), Transcending Glory (17/2), Elinor Dashwood (12/1), Goal Exceeded (16/1)

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT has proven most progressive since joining the Jack Davison yard and he can follow up his recent smooth-travelling win at Navan. Tokenomics was on the upgrade until contesting a hot handicap at the Ebor meeting and can't be best judged on that performance, so rates as the biggest threat, whilst impressive maiden winner Procrastinate is very interesting after a 6-month break.
