Joupe^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: M W Hassett⁽⁵⁾| T: P Lawlor| OR: 91| C

16/1

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 7½ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Sakti in listed race at this course (8f, 125/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred.

Form: 0-73700

Burren Song^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S Foley| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 85| C

16/1

Course winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Fairly useful on Flat but isn't the easiest to win with these days.

Form: 35-9246

(7)

Jerandme^v1⁵⁸⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 83| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Fell in handicap chase at Punchestown when last seen 19 months ago. Entitled to need this but is worth monitoring in the market on yard debut. Visor on 1st time.

Form: 14120/3-

Ascending³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 82

2/5

Fairly-useful hurdler who arrives on back of solid efforts on the level, latest when good second of 11 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, soft, 15/2) 38 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Likely contender.

Form: 1422/22

Persian Bliss¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M P Sheehy| T: A Murray| OR: 85| BF| C

10/1

Ran no sort of race latest but made winning debut at this course (10.7f) last month and must enter calculations, upped in trip on handicap bow.

Miss Paloma⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: R Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 74| C

9/2

Both career victories gained here, latest in July. Posted another good effort when second of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this course (12f) 49 days ago and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

Form: 16-1623

(5)

Lunar Bird¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: L F Roche| T: E McNamara| OR: 73

40/1

Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, first run since leaving David Simcock when last of 4 in handicap at Killarney (11.4f, good to firm). Off 136 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 0/153-4

Forecasts

Ascending (2/5), Miss Paloma (9/2), Persian Bliss (10/1), Joupe (16/1), Burren Song (16/1), Jerandme (18/1), Lunar Bird (40/1)

ASCENDING has run well in amateur contests the last twice and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking contest. Persian Bliss and Miss Paloma should also go well.
