Orandi^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: A J Martin| OR: 93| D

40/1

Winner of last year's Irish Lincolnshire but out of sorts last 3 starts, including both outings this season.

Form: 3980-00

(7)

Crypto Force⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 90| D

16/1

Still capable of useful form but remains winless in handicaps, though ground too testing at the Curragh latest.

Form: 074-450

(16)

Motu Proprio²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 90

40/1

Useful on pick of form in France (sold from P. Groualle €45,000). Has joined a top stable so worth a market check.

Form: 574839-

Grey Leader⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 87| D

50/1

Collecting Coin³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 85

7/2

Progressive as a 3-y-o, off the mark at Third attempt at Galway prior to a good third up in grade at Killarney. Excuses at the Curragh final start (reportedly scoped dirty post-race) and showed promise at Naas on return. One to bear in mind.

Form: 32135-5

(3)

Hellorhighwater²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: N Lupini| OR: 85| D

6/1

Progressive form in maidens for Gavin Patrick Cromwell last season, off the mark at Cork final run. That form has worked out well and he's an interesting contender on handicap bow/return.

Form: 221-

(15)

Dark Summit²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Powell| T: D Hogan| OR: 84| D

22/1

Follow Me^h1¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 84

Lady Lilac^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J G Murphy| OR: 84| D

6/1

Finally off the mark in maiden at Killarney in October and made an excellent return when just failing in big field at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Headgear on and very much one to be interested in.

Form: 32216-3

Expound^p,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jared Huggan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 80

20/1

Reliable sort who ran with credit both starts on AW this season. Better on turf but mark reflects that.

Form: 3626-54

(1)

Fast Tara^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 79| D

12/1

Just a maiden win to her name but runner-up a couple of times last year and shaped as if better for the run at Gowran on return.

Form: 42239-6

(18)

Highbury See See²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 79| D

9/2

Got back on the up with victory in 15-runner handicap at the Curragh in October. Showed benefit of reappearance run when fifth of 21 at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and can step up again.

Form: 3331-05

Spanish Temptress¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: R O'Brien| OR: 79| D

15/2

Three wins from 10 runs last year, latest at Roscommon in October. Stepped up on return when third of 16 at Gowran 17 days ago and entitled to come on again.

Form: 9110-63

(19)

San Aer^t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 78| D

40/1

Without a win since 2023 but posted pair of solid in-the-frame efforts upon joining present stable during the autumn. Needed return at Naas but always behind having reared leaving stalls at the Curragh 6 days ago.

Form: 8742-90

(13)

Um Wadi²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 78| D

15/2

Ex-French mare who ran best race for this yard when third at Dundalk on return last month, faring best of those held up. One to keep an eye on.

Form: 74689-3
