10/3

Lightly-raced maiden who was gambled on and ran best race when third of 14 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Comes here easily one of the least exposed and she's worth considering.

Navorrosse^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: G A Kingston| OR: 47| D

100/1

Hooded for 1st time, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 40/1) 21 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat after 4 months off. Should be sharper with that under her belt but her overall record is a mixed one.

Form: 0-78270

Wonder Spirit¹²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: G A Kingston| OR: 47| C

33/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, pulled hard and weaken out of things when eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (1m) in July. Absent since but worth noting he's gone well fresh previously.

Form: 828000

Forecasts

Altimara (10/3), Blanc De Noir (7/2), Shoot To Kill (9/2), Jazzy Dancer (7/1), The Bear Trap (8/1), Mullacash Buzz (11/1), Lorr's Girl (14/1), Charlie Brow'n (16/1), Amemri (20/1), Notforalongtime (22/1), Purring Along (25/1), Wonder Spirit (33/1), Knockmore Prince (50/1), Saxon Kingdom (66/1), Navorrosse (100/1)

BLANC DE NOIR has bounced back to form with blinkers refitted of late, successful at Fairyhouse before following up over 6f here 3 weeks ago. Totally unexposed on this surface, he looks a live player in his hat-trick bid back at 7f. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Altimara and Jazzy Dancer are others to consider. Wonder Spirit also makes each-way appeal at likely longer odds.
