Ephesus^p,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J P Sampson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 80| D

40/1

Won a 12f handicap at Roscommon (12/1) 44 days ago but well-beaten in 12th of 16 at Galway (20/1) 30 days ago when failing to sustain early effort.

Castleheath^p³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 76| BF

11/2

Won at the Curragh (10f) 59 days ago before finishing fifth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (9/2) 38 days ago, hampered 2f out and hung left throughout. Could benefit from cheekpieces back on and this step up in trip.

Form: 754-115

Migdam⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Buckley| OR: 74| C

22/1

Better on all-weather with one course win, finished second of 12 in 16f handicap at Thurles (13/2) 48 days ago when only caught at post. May appreciate the return to this surface.

Form: 844472

Tatateo^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: D Hogan| OR: 74

9/2

Dual-purpose performer who won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in August and has run consistently since. Finished second of 8 in a handicap at Dundalk (22/1) 12 days ago, tracked pace, led 2f out before headed in final furlong. Return to similar course and distance should see another bold showing.

Form: 1449-02

Pralognan^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 73| D

9/1

Won on AW at Newcastle 151 days ago and finished third of 11 in a hurdle at Cork (14/1) 24 days ago, coming from further back than the pair that beat him. Better suited to AW racing.

Form: 991098

Voice Of Reason²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr M J Delahunty⁽⁷⁾| T: W Delahunty| OR: 71| CD

14/1

Showed a good third at Dundalk (33/1) in September and a win at this course/distance (8/1) last month after weight reduction. Seems most effective on this surface and may continue improving.

Form: 966361

Bringsty⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 68| BF

40/1

Mainly seen over hurdles recently, including when seventh of 17 at Thurles (16/1) 6 days ago when wasn't disgraced. Switch to flat racing unlikely to spark improvement.

Form: 90/7-518

Scatchwah^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss R Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Lavery| OR: 68| D

16/1

Gone 7 runs without success since sole win 450 days ago. Fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 43 days ago in first-time cheekpieces, could build on that effort here.

Form: 30-5005

(14)

Cala Bonita^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J H Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 72| C

5/1

In good form on the AW, winning her last two handicap starts at Dundalk over 11f. First of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (4/1) 40 days ago, making the running and responding well when tackled. Going the right way based on recent efforts.

Form: 007211

Drucker^v1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 70| BF| C

9/2

AW performer with two runner-up finishes and a close fourth recently at Dundalk. Finished second of 10 in handicap (10.7f) at this course 12 days ago, beaten by improved rival. First-time visor may enhance focus for this reliable contender.

Form: 905422

(9)

Inchiquin Maid²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: T O'Brien| OR: 65| C

20/1

Ran consistently on both flat and hurdles, including a second-place finish at Listowel in September. Fifth of 18 in a handicap hurdle at Thurles (7/2) 27 days ago when continuing in good heart but one-paced. Has winning course form and looks capable of a bold showing back on the AW surface.

Form: 631-263

(16)

Palavar²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr J M Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 68

12/1

Shown fair form in three maiden starts, most recently when sixth of 11 in median auction at Navan (16/1) 232 days ago when reports suggested would benefit from handicaps and further. Makes handicap debut for new stable with step up to 12f potentially in his favour.

Form: 646

Slowdownbarney^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Ms L A Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 63

33/1

Won on AW in April and twice runner-up around that time, but finished 8th of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 19 days ago when racing off the pace. Capable of better based on spring form.

Form: 221208

Glady Eagle^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 62| D

6/1

Won twice in Poland before joining current stable, then seventh of 14 in handicap over C&D (11/2) 28 days ago when had little go right but shaped well. May have more ability than shown so far.

Form: 1/10-307

Forecasts

Tatateo (9/2), Drucker (9/2), Cala Bonita (5/1), Castleheath (11/2), Glady Eagle (6/1), Red Glory (6/1), Pralognan (9/1), Palavar (12/1), Voice Of Reason (14/1), Scatchwah (16/1), Inchiquin Maid (20/1), Redcliff Glen (20/1), Migdam (22/1), Slowdownbarney (33/1), Bringsty (40/1), Ephesus (40/1), Deluca Chop (50/1)

TATATEO has been showing consistent dual-purpose form, running a fine second over course and distance 12 days ago when headed in the final furlong. He represents a yard in good form and should give another bold showing. Cala Bonita is thriving on the all-weather having won her last two course handicaps, while Inchiquin Maid looks dangerous returned to this surface.
