Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 56

2/1

Never won in 19 starts but showed promise when getting clear runs in Bellewstown handicaps. Third of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown over 8f (16/1) 8 days ago, keeping on when not getting a clear run. Cheekpieces back on and looks capable of building on that encouraging last effort.

4/1

Struggled in several handicaps this season until recently showing signs of improvement. Finished fourth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (28/1) 8 days ago, doing well from wide draw off a reduced mark. Could be returning to form with another decent effort possible.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 53

16/1

Has shown modest form in handicaps but remains a maiden after 9 starts. Finished 11th of 15 in handicap at Listowel (25/1) 16 days ago, making headway when encountering traffic 2f out and not given a hard time after a break. Could show more now with that recent outing under her belt.

Form: 3068-80

Draiocht³^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Killian Leonard| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 40| D

11/2

Previously showed modest form in handicaps before winning a weak 15-runner 8f handicap at Killarney (16/1) 3 days ago, making headway 2f out and leading over 1f out. May find this quick turnaround demanding under a penalty.

Form: 005481

Quarry Stone¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Hassett| OR: 49

66/1

Has shown little and finished 13th of 14 in AW handicap at Dundalk (28/1) 13 days ago, racing freely. Needs to settle better.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: R Donohoe| OR: 44| D

16/1

Struggling in flat handicaps with last win over two years ago and now on a losing streak of 24 races. Finished 15th of 16 in a hurdle race (150/1) 31 days ago, raced off the pace and made a bad mistake. Hood removed for this return to flat racing which could suit better.

MYTHICAL ROCK has never won in 19 starts but shaped as if back in form when third at Bellewstown 8 days ago, not getting a clear run. With cheekpieces back on, he can build on that effort. Rock Etoile hinted at a return to form when fourth in the same race. Kitty Bear wasn't given a hard time on return from a break and could improve.
