6/4
C&D winner. Latest win at Cork in May. Good second of 12 in handicap (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb rise for that fair enough and he needs considering.

13/2
3-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Cork in May. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 69 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider.

9/2
Course winner. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Trainer going well. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

9/2
Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in June. 40/1, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 34 days ago. Hood back on and he's 3-13 on the AW. Chance.

11/2
Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 57 days ago, slowly away. The first-time blinkers could help eke out a bit more and he's not discounted.

14/1
9/4, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) when last seen in May, kept up to work. This is more demanding up 6 lb, but he's pretty consistent and should again run his race.

C&D winner. Latest win at Gowran in August. 50/1, good fourth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) 13 days ago. Couldn't rule out.

Forecasts

Tokenomics (6/4), Daamberdiplomat (9/2), Blues Emperor (9/2), Barbapapa (11/2), Hightimeyouwon (13/2), Little Empire (14/1), Shoot To Kill (25/1)

Verdict

Hard to rule any of these out with confidence and the suggestion is DAAMBERDIPLOMAT, who took a step back in the right direction when sixth in a valuable, big-field Leopardstown handicap last month. Hightimeyouwon is just about second choice, with Barbapapa nominated as best of the rest.

  1. Daamberdiplomat9/2
  2. Hightimeyouwon13/2
  3. Barbapapa11/2
