Flanker Jet¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 81| CD

9/4

Solid debut form and promise on AW with a second at this C&D in November before off the mark when first of 13 in maiden at this C&D (5/2) 14 days ago, proving a bit more determined in the finish. Steps into conditions company now but should remain competitive. Stable also saddle Fate's Gambit.

Form: 4642-31

Fate's Gambit¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Robson Aguiar

11/10

Showed plenty of encouragement when second of 13 in maiden at this C&D (11/4) on debut 14 days ago, led briefly under 2f out before keeping on to pull clear of the remainder. Open to further improvement and likely to be in the mix again.

Form: 2

Heartbeat Supreme

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien

5/1

€15,000 yearling, 60,000gns 2-y-o. Supremacy gelding. Takes on experienced rivals in this 7f conditions race on the AW but worth a market check for excellent yard who also saddle Dancing Saxon.

Friendly Invoice⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Ryan| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 73| C

22/1

Lightly raced filly who sprang a surprise when successful in 6f handicap at Dundalk (28/1) 86 days ago, waited with before staying on to lead final 100 yards. Remains to be seen if able to repeat that improved effort in conditions company over 7f.

Dancing Saxon^p1¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 73| BF

13/2

Showed promise when third in strong maiden last July but hasn't built on that in subsequent runs. Sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (well-backed 9/4 fav) 112 days ago where those from off the pace made little impact. Can get back on track with first-time cheekpieces applied.

Form: 03046-

Sarfarcat²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Caffrey| T: Thomas Coyle

300/1

Lightly raced filly who has shown nothing in two maiden starts, coming last of 14 at Dundalk 4 weeks ago after weakening early in the straight. Plenty to prove stepping up to conditions company.

Form: 0-0

Forecasts

Fate's Gambit (11/10), Flanker Jet (9/4), Heartbeat Supreme (5/1), Dancing Saxon (13/2), Friendly Invoice (22/1), Sarfarcat (300/1)

DANCING SAXON wasn't seen to best effect when well-backed on nursery debut here in October and she can get back on track to give Joseph O'Brien his third win in the previous 5 renewals of this race. Fate's Gambit showed plenty of encouragement on debut a fortnight ago, keeping on to pull clear of the remainder, while stablemate Flanker Jet got off the mark in a C&D maiden last time and should remain competitive stepping into conditions company.
