Sir Callisto^t²

10/3

Ninth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (18.6f, good, 11/1) 26 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly back down in trip and worth noting when the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 410495

(5)

Capital Theory²⁶

33/1

80/1, last of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (18.6f, good) 26 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and it's hard to know how much ability he retains.

Form: 909-260

(4)

Duke Of Leggagh^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: T Casey⁽⁴⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 69| D

Miss Australie¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Coen| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63

8/1

150/1, excellent fourth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good). Off 119 days. First run for yard after leaving P. O'Rourke and looks well treated back in handicap company.

Form: 59-0054

(8)

Breathe Again⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Donaghue-Leahy| T: S Lavery| OR: 62

4/1

Fair maiden who shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, good) 43 days ago, paying for trying to keep tabs on the eventual runner-up. Should remain competitive.

Form: 305734

(10)

Maxwell Smart²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁴⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 55| D

Forecasts

Sir Callisto (10/3), Breathe Again (4/1), Duke Of Leggagh (9/2), Maxwell Smart (9/2), Glady Eagle (9/2), Arch Enemy (11/2), Miss Australie (8/1), Ms Messi (14/1), Share The Treasure (16/1), Capital Theory (33/1), The Mighty Penny (40/1)

MISS AUSTRALIE seemed to excel herself when fourth of 13 in a fairly warm maiden at the Curragh on her final outing for P. O'Rourke in June and looks well treated on that form back in handicap company. Maxwell Smart and Breathe Again head up the opposition.
