10/3

Showing improved handicap form (3-4-2) since June, finished second of 15 in handicap at Galway (9/4) 25 days ago, running well back up in trip and kept on strongly. Recent form suggests a first win could be coming soon.

11/1

God Knows²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 67| D

7/1

Won a claimer over this trip at Bellewstown in July. Finished second of 13 in handicap at Down Royal over 10.7f (13/2) 29 days ago, shaping well behind one with the benefit of a good ride. Gone well here previously.

Form: 99-1052

Pallatine Hills^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: E & P Harty| OR: 69| BF

10/1

Ran well when third of 20 in a handicap at this course and distance in June. Fifth of 15 in handicap at Cork (8f) 24 days ago, flattering to deceive when looming up before finding less than looked likely. Blinkers back on and could show more having run well in this headgear previously.

Form: 748355

Boogie Inthejungle⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 66

20/1

Showed promise on debut but disappointed twice since, finishing ninth of 13 in maiden at Cork (25/1) 51 days ago when in rear and taking strong hold. May do better now making handicap debut back down in trip.

Form: 4-79

(8)

Rampage^t,v³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 63| D

12/1

Latest win at Dundalk in July. Sixth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (6/1) 3 days ago, below par despite usually going well there. Returns to action quickly after a disappointing effort.

28/1

Won 12-runner claimer at Sligo over 10.6f (8/1) 59 days ago. Back down in trip for new trainer and may find this more competitive handicap a tougher test.

Form: 67-0401

Warazam¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 61

6/1

Won a 14-runner handicap at Punchestown (13/8) 18 days ago, racing wide before going on 2f out and being driven clear. Dropping back in trip here but could follow up given current good form.

Form: 23-3421

Shanlieve⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 63

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden, seventh of 11 in a maiden at Limerick (28/1) 84 days ago, making little impression. Makes handicap debut now with pedigree suggesting more to come.

Form: 877

(2)

Sheamus Seimhiu³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: C Timmons| OR: 62

80/1

Showed little ability in five starts, most recently finishing last of 11 in handicap at Gowran Park (33/1), never on terms. Difficult to fancy.

12/1

Showed little in three maiden runs before making significant improvement to win 8f handicap at Gowran Park (12/1) against 12 rivals 14 days ago, staying on strongly. May have more to offer now she's found her feet.

WARAZAM comes here in peak form after a convincing win at Punchestown and looks well placed to follow up despite the shorter trip. Pallatine Hills can go well with the reapplication of blinkers, while C&D winner Goldrush Kid is respected also.
