Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan O'Connor| T: J C McConnell| OR: 83

80/1

Landed the 2022 Jersey during his time with Charlie Appleby. Very lightly raced since and significant doubts as to whether anything like that sort of ability remains, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good, 100/1) 10 days ago.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: K P Cotter| OR: 83| C

7/1

7/1, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago, scoring pretty readily in the end despite his claimer rider experiencing tack issues. Hit with a 9 lb rise but got to be respected under Murphy.

Forecasts

Chazzesmee (9/4), Secret Magician (7/2), Vega's Muse (4/1), Titanium (6/1), Grey Leader (6/1), Sunriseontheboyne (13/2), On A Session (7/1), Midnight Strike (17/2), Goal Exceeded (10/1), Firebrand (25/1), Noble Truth (80/1)

ON A SESSION overcame tack issues to score in good style at Galway a fortnight ago and could follow up with Oisin Murphy booked. Killarney winner Vega's Muse is feared, as is Grey Leader (due to run here on Monday).
