Red Autumn⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 82

9/2

Fairly useful filly. Made a promising return from 6 months off with fourth of 13 in handicap at Naas (7f) in March, nearest finish having been left with lot to do. Not without interest with this longer trip looking a big plus.

Son Of Beauty³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 81

6/1

Winner of 1m maiden at Dundalk in March and in good nick in handicaps since, fifth of 10 at Naas (1m) on latter occasion. Not out of things over this slightly longer trip.

Form: 3165

How'sthebai³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 80

5/2

Gained a first win at Dundalk (1m) in October and returned from 6 months off with a very good fourth of 10 in handicap at Naas (1m) 38 days ago. Yard having good spell so he's not taken lightly.

Form: 661-4

Monvoe²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 79| C

11/2

Has returned a much improved model, opening his account in 1m Limerick handicap in April before following up in 15-runner handicap here (1m) 20 days ago. Hiked up again considerably in the weights but must enter calculations in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 9922-11

Johnny Soda¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 77

9/2

Justified support to win 1m handicap in the mud at Cork in May. Failed to improve as expected for the step up in trip when only fifth of 7 at Navan (1¼m) 19 days ago. Well worth another chance, especially if the rains come.

Form: 42-0315

Ryefield Dasher²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 75

10/1

Time Test colt who signed off at 2yrs with a solid fifth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (1m) in November. Not ruled out if ready to roll on his seasonal return and worth a market check.

Form: 045-

Sunrush²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 73

8/1

Progressive son of Teofilo who still looked in need of the experience when sixth of 15 in 1m maiden here on his reappearance 20 days ago. Should have more still to offer now going handicapping.

Form: 74-6

Forecasts

How'sthebai (5/2), Red Autumn (9/2), Johnny Soda (9/2), Monvoe (11/2), Son Of Beauty (6/1), Sweet Baby Zou (6/1), Sunrush (8/1), Ryefield Dasher (10/1)

None of these can be ruled out but it could pay to side with RED AUTUMN who shaped well on her return when a patiently-ridden fourth at Naas and should find this step up in trip very much in her favour. Johnny Soda wasn't at his best when fifth at Navan last time but could still emerge as the main danger off a handy-looking mark, while both Monvoe and How'sthebai also need factoring into this highly competitive event.
