Amemri²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 70| CD

16/1

Form has dipped since completing 5-timer 125 days ago, finishing eighth of 12 in handicap at Cork (28/1) 24 days ago and operating below best. Returns to track with 5 course and distance win and could be more competitive drop into a claiming race.

Form: 111008

Beautiful Affair^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 71

10/1

Modest performer with two third places in maidens recently before finishing sixth of 16 at Naas (13/2) 13 days ago where she tracked the pace but couldn't quicken. Typically gives her running but needs to pull out more to get off the mark.

Form: 456336

Dramatic^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

11/4

Well beaten on debut at this C&D last year but showed improvement in first-time tongue strap (retained) when third of 9 in a maiden at Dundalk (6f) at 18/1 7 days ago, despite carrying head bit awkwardly. Seemingly a stable lesser light but merits consideration stepping back up in trip.

Form: 0-3

Independent Expert^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 85| CD

1/1

Useful performer at best with 6 wins including a course and distance success, showing respectable efforts in handicaps earlier this year. Fifth of 9 in handicap over this C&D (8/1) 10 days ago, led before weakening in the final furlong. Drop in class to a claimer could see a return to form.

Form: 108095

Minaun View^p1,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Grant⁽¹⁰⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 71

9/1

Fair efforts in most starts. Finished fifth of 16 in maiden at Naas (28/1) 13 days ago, returning to form back down at 7f after a poor run over 8f. First-time cheekpieces may help sharpen her up on first start in a claiming race.

Bahama Bear²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: N Slevin| OR: 60

40/1

Lightly-raced filly who showed promise when third of 6 in a Dundalk maiden in January but finished 13th of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (66/1) 23 days ago, running poorly. Remains to be seen if she can recapture previous AW form.

Form: 55-370

Lo Tengo Claro¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Kinirons

300/1

Has shown very little ability in three starts, including when twelfth of 13 in maiden over C&D (150/1) 10 days ago when slowly into stride. Isn't one to be interested in unless market hints at a better showing switched to claiming company.

Brosna Green^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 63

20/1

Got back on track when sixth of 12 in handicap here in July but not in the same form when eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 14 days ago, possibly needing the run for new yard. Tongue strap returns today and ought to be more competitive here.

Form: 4-80608

Nammos⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 58| D

14/1

Two-time winner on all-weather for previous yard but yet to fire this season on all-weather, finished ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 7 days ago, slowly into stride. May do better now tackling claiming company.

Form: 764509

She's Smart²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Powell| T: A McGuinness| OR: 52| D

33/1

Finished 11th of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Bellewstown 22 days ago, operating below best. Stepping back up to 7f with little recent evidence to suggest improvement is forthcoming.

Form: 106400

Eutropia⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 58

18/1

Best effort came when third of 15 in 8f handicap at Bellewstown (12/1). Fifth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk over 10.7f (50/1) 7 days ago, racing off the pace, coming wide in the straight and keeping on without threatening the principals. Claims if she can build on that returning to a shorter trip.

Forecasts

Independent Expert (1/1), Dramatic (11/4), Minaun View (9/1), Beautiful Affair (10/1), Nammos (14/1), Amemri (16/1), Are You In Or Out (16/1), Eutropia (18/1), Brosna Green (20/1), She's Smart (33/1), Bahama Bear (40/1), Lo Tengo Claro (300/1)

Useful at her best, INDEPENDENT EXPERT is taken to capitalise on a marked drop in class. Eutropia ran one of her better races when fifth over 10f here last time and has form over shorter, while Brosna Green may improve for her recent run with a tongue strap refitted on second start for new yard.
