9/2

Performer at Dundalk with three course wins including one at this C&D, finished seventh of 14 in handicap (13/2) 12 days ago without headgear and form halted at longer trip. Likely more suited by this claiming level where previously ran well.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alan Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 86

10/1

Won at Pontefract (10f) 440 days ago but form dipped in subsequent starts. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f) at 10/1 237 days ago, merely closing late. First-time tongue strap could help improve form back on AW and up in trip. First run for new trainer.

150/1

Has shown little in 5 career starts, finishing eighth of 14 in maiden over C&D (200/1) 14 days ago where showed more than previously, chasing leaders before weakening. Makes little appeal in this claimer.

7/1

Recently returned to flat after hurdle campaigns, finishing 13th of 14 in handicap at Dundalk over 10.7f (50/1) 19 days ago when tracking pace before weakening. Needs significant improvement to make an impact in this claiming company.

Porsche Lad^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: D Hogan| OR: 63| C

5/4

Performs well on AW at Dundalk with 2 course wins. First of 14 in handicap over 10.7f (6/4) 28 days ago, needing a strong drive to prevail by a neck. First run for new trainer. Will appreciate return to 12f based on previous C&D second.

Form: 120D41

Stormie Outlook^b1,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Slattery| OR: 66

18/1

Best effort when second of 14 in handicap at Roscommon in July, but ninth of 14 at Dundalk (12/1) 21 days ago when racing off the pace. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces and step up in trip could help.

Form: 424509

Fleetfootsoldier^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: D Hogan| OR: 62| C

9/1

Dundalk specialist with 4 course wins finished second of 10 in claimer over 7f (13/2) 7 days ago with tongue strap refitted. Significant step up in trip raises stamina concerns based on previous attempts.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 64

4/1

Has been inconsistent over the past year with 23 runs since last win. Ran respectably when fourth of 14 in a handicap over 10.7f at huge odds (50/1) here 12 days ago. Return to claiming company could see further improvement based on that recent effort.

Form: 256604

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rory Cleary| T: J M Barrett| OR: 61

40/1

Forecasts

Porsche Lad (5/4), Theophilos (4/1), Benavente (9/2), North Winterfell (7/1), Fleetfootsoldier (9/1), Loyal Touch (10/1), Stormie Outlook (18/1), Timandi (40/1), Joy Pain And Sky (50/1), Money Shuffler (150/1), Carslake (200/1), Tell Me This (250/1), Run Maggie Run (250/1)

LOYAL TOUCH shaped as if needing the run when returning at Ripon earlier this year and the first-time tongue strap could spark improvement back on the all-weather. Theophilos ran respectably when fourth in a handicap here less than two weeks ago and could progress in this claiming company. Porsche Lad has strong Dundalk form and will appreciate returning to 12f.
