Terre De Vega^h1,t1³⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 87

22/1

20/1, well-beaten eighth of 9 to Novus in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Makes handicap debut and he has a fair few questions to answer at present.

Form: 15/28-

Brewing⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 86

40/1

Six wins from 19 Flat runs. 66/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 8 days ago, slowly away. Yet to find his feet for this yard.

Summer Snow^t⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: P Lawlor| OR: 84| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Galway in July. Good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 13/2) 59 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Has to be taken seriously given her rate of progress this summer.

Gloriously Glam^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 85| D

6/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (14/1) at Navan (8.2f, soft) 11 days ago by ½ length from Fast Tara. Was seen to maximum effect on that occasion and conditions unlikely to be as favourable this time.

Fast Tara^t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Grant⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 81| BF| D

15/8

Eighteen runs since sole win in 2023. Creditable second of 15 in handicap (4/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 6 days ago, doing too much too soon. New mark has kicked in but she's arriving in excellent order.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79| CD

10/3

C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. 8/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8.1f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration.

Form: 135272

4/1

Course winner. Latest win at Galway in September. 6/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 6 days ago, going off too hard.

Forecasts

Fast Tara (15/8), Dark Viper (10/3), Electric Beauty (4/1), Gloriously Glam (6/1), Summer Snow (17/2), Areana (12/1), Va Va Vroom (16/1), Terre De Vega (22/1), Brewing (40/1)

AREANA unsurprisingly came up short in her hat-trick bid at the Curragh a month ago pitched into a high-end handicap and she's taken to regain the winning thread back at a more suitable level. Summer Show arrives in top form so has to be feared, along Fast Tara.
