11/4

Best form at Dundalk with two course wins, preferring AW to turf. Finished second of 8 in a handicap at Dundalk (4/1) 42 days ago, beaten a length by Instant Appeal, showing useful form for new trainer. Likely to be competitive again with her proven affinity for this track.

11/2

Best recent effort when second in Windsor 6f handicap in July, finished fifth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (5/1) 35 days ago showing promise for new yard. Back up in trip to 7f which might suit this fairly useful performer who is now without a win in 16 races.

Forecasts

Instant Appeal (2/1), Carolina Jetstream (11/4), Little Empire (4/1), Big Gossey (4/1), Inishfallen (11/2), Apache Outlaw (9/1), City House (14/1), The Liffey (33/1)

INSTANT APPEAL is improving in leaps and bounds, winning his last three at this track and making short work of a 5lb rise when comfortably beating Big Gossey 30 days ago. He gets the vote ahead of Carolina Jetstream, who has strong Dundalk form with two previous course wins and will likely be competitive again. Big Gossey remains dangerous to dismiss in current mood.
