6/1

Useful at best but without a win in 5 starts since successful last July. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (11/2) 63 days ago, operating below best though not well placed in rear, plugged on when driven approaching straight. Significant step up in trip but not discounted if he stays.

11/4

Won at this course over shorter in August and has raced three times since, most recently third of 6 in conditions race at this C&D (5/2) 3 weeks ago, chased leaders but took strong hold before keeping on. Yet to finish outside frame on AW and can give his running again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 93

3/1

Won handicap debut last April and ran well when second in listed company next time but finishing effort underwhelmed when sixth of 9 in listed race at Leopardstown (14/1) last June. Absent since but reasons for optimism now with new trainer facing significant step up in trip.

San Andreas^p⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 86| C

9/2

Eight-time course winner but hasn't won for over a year. Bounced back to form when narrow second of 8 in conditions race here (14/1) a week ago, leading over 2f out before caught near the line. Significant step up to 16f but well suited by AW and course form is strong.

Form: 48606-2

Tatateo^p,t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 77| BF| D

5/2

Consistent performer on AW with two seconds at this course in November before switching to hurdles. Won latest start in novice hurdle at Cork (11/4) 34 days ago, thriving on racing. Significant step up in trip on return to Flat but plenty of optimism that he'll stay. Leading contender.

Gangster Granny^p,t1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: C A McBratney| OR: 73

100/1

14f Killarney winner in August but has been well held in five subsequent starts, mostly over hurdles, including second start for new yard when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (28/1) 17 days ago, raced well off the pace and never involved. Returns to Flat with first-time tongue strap.

Kidam Roque⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 67

40/1

Yet to trouble the judge in five starts, last of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (7/1) 9 days ago after taking a strong hold. Hood removed for handicap debut and while he'll need to settle/improve from 2 lb out the handicap, he could show more for a significant step up in trip.

Form: 5-48

Forecasts

Tatateo (5/2), Tribal Star (11/4), What's Your Game (3/1), San Andreas (9/2), Crypto Force (6/1), Kidam Roque (40/1), Gangster Granny (100/1)

TATATEO has been thriving on racing, winning his latest start in a novice hurdle at Cork 34 days ago and could be suited by a significant step up in trip on return to the Flat. He's narrowly preferred to veteran San Andreas who bounced back to form when a narrow second here a week ago and has strong course form (eight-time winner here). Tribal Star has yet to finish outside the frame on AW and is respected returning to handicap company.
