Summer Snow²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Lawlor| OR: 86| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft, 8/1) 23 days ago, driven out. 5 lb rise understandably demands more but she's hard to rule out in present groove.

Serialise⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 84| D

3/1

Lightly-raced filly who tasted success twice last season and solid efforts in defeat on 3 of her 4 starts this time around, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 53 days ago. Interesting eased in class.

Form: 13-3206

Rion Rubette³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: M W Hassett⁽³⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 86

13/2

Winner at Limerick in June. 3/1, second of 4 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Clearly comes here at the top of her game but more required returned to handicaps now new mark has kicked in.

11/2

Course winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win here in July. Third of 4 in handicap at this course (9f, good to soft, 15/8) 28 days ago. Trainer going well. Cheekpieces back on and she's a live player.

Heartwarmer¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: W T Farrell| OR: 78

66/1

20/1, off 10 months/first run since leaving George Boughey when last of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip now but she'll need to take a significant step forward from that if she's to figure.

Banner Beauty⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: E Buckley| OR: 82| CD

9/1

Made a winning reappearance for new yard in a C&D maiden in May prior to seemingly finding the competition too hot when tenth of 12 to Barnavara in listed race at Navan (8.1f, good) 75 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates more suitable.

Form: 64-10

Neo Smart^p1,t⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger| OR: 74

12/1

Latest win at the Curragh in April. Good third of 12 in handicap (16/1) back at that venue (7f, good) 53 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 155673

Aviatrice¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 79

10/3

Good third of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can make presence felt.

Form: 21-2473

Gloriously Glam^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J A Powell⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 74

25/1

14/1, respectable third of 13 in claimer at Gowran (8f, good to firm) 8 days ago, keeping on. Claims returned to handicap company for all consistency hasn't been her strong suit.

Super Exceed^h³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: T Mullins| OR: 63| D

25/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.8f, good, 9/1) 35 days ago, racing freely and always behind. Hood back on but others make greater appeal stepping back down significantly in trip.

Forecasts

Serialise (3/1), Aviatrice (10/3), Tachos (5/1), Onemoredance (11/2), Summer Snow (13/2), Rion Rubette (13/2), Banner Beauty (9/1), Neo Smart (12/1), Gloriously Glam (25/1), Super Exceed (25/1), Heartwarmer (66/1)

SERIALISE has acquitted herself with plenty of credit on 3 of her 4 starts in stronger handicaps than this during 2025 and in a wide-open race, Jessica Harrington's 4-y-o is taken to strike. Tachos, Summer Snow and Rion Rubette are a trio of fellow in-form sorts fancied to be in the mix.
