Bambeano^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁵⁾| T: C Moore| OR: 65| CD

66/1

C&D winner who finished well held over hurdles prior to trailing in tenth of 11 returned to handicap over this C&D 4 weeks ago. Has it to prove for this yard.

Form: 47109/0

Nusra^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: G Ahern| OR: 62| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 10/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (2m) 21 days ago. Back down in trip and he's another meriting consideration in present groove.

Form: 12794-3

Dromore Glory^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: P W Flynn| OR: 58| CD

11/4

Returning from 7 months off with cheekpieces refitted when justifying good support to land 10-runner C&D handicap 21 days ago, kicking on 2f out and kept up to work. Remains unexposed over middle-distances and he's one to be interested in again.

Form: 29040-1

(3)

Someone's Wish^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: G Elliott| OR: 57

11/4

Largely held his form well over jumps in recent months and returned to this sphere with a good second in 10-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago, that despite not being ideally placed. One to be interested in from this sort of mark.

Form: 174/66-2

Modern Talking^b1⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Brien| OR: 58

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 33/1) 86 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 969-

Gardone^b⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: E McNamara| OR: 55| C

5/1

Shed maiden tag here (10.7f) in August. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 7/2) 70 days ago, staying on. Well worth another crack at this longer trip given how he's been shaping and he's worth a second look.

Form: 712464-

You Done Well^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: K Purcell| OR: 54

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run.

Form: 78/577-

Latin^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 53

50/1

Fair performer at his best but out of sorts under both codes in recent months, beaten early in straight when eleventh of 13 in claimer at this course (10.7f, 80/1) 11 days ago. Best watched at present.

Form: 2000-00

(14)

L'immortale^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 51

22/1

Maiden who backed up his previous effort when third over on penultimate start and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when twelfth of 13 in claimer here (10.7f) 11 days ago, eased off having made rapid headway entering straight. Back up in trip.

Form: 038-430

(6)

Gear Flat^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriella Hill⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Durkan| OR: 49

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, always behind. Needs to step up plenty if she's to play a part here.

Form: 7876-0

Omakase⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey| OR: 48

16/1

10/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 58 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will need to settle better here if she's to see out this longer trip.

Form: 56/4557-

(16)

Tasmanian Girl⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: Aengus King| OR: 47

100/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Ninth of 13 in claimer at this C&D (150/1) 58 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Others hold much more pressing claims.

Form: 0/49809-

Fine Print^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 48

7/1

Creditable 2½ lengths third of 10 to Dromore Glory in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 21 days ago, short of room under 2f out and keeping on. Live each-way player from this sort of mark.

Form: 05367-3

Bright Start^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 50

15/2

Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (16f) 21 days ago, never better than midfield. Each-way claims with a run back down in trip. Reserve 1.

Dromore Glory (11/4), Someone's Wish (11/4), Gardone (5/1), Fine Print (7/1), Bright Start (15/2), Nusra (12/1), Warrior Lion (12/1), Omakase (16/1), Modern Talking (18/1), You Done Well (20/1), Serengeti Sunrise (20/1), L'immortale (22/1), Gregorina (33/1), Latin (50/1), Gear Flat (50/1), Bambeano (66/1), Tasmanian Girl (100/1)

SOMEONE'S WISH ran well having eased a little in the weights when runner-up in a C&D handicap 11 days ago, that despite not being ideally placed, and Gordon Elliott's charge is fancied to confirm the promise of that effort and make a bold bid to go one place better. Last-time-out winner Dromore Glory is another of firm interest, with Gardone and Nusra completing the shortlist.
