Chopsticks^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

12/1

Finally off the mark at Sligo in August. Another sound effort when third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 17 days ago. Repeat will see him involved again.

Form: 45120-3

God Of Thunder^p,t⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: D Hogan| OR: 60| D

17/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2025. Isn't the force of old but mark reflects that and one of better efforts when third of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 5 days ago. Booking of Carroll a plus.

Form: 090793

Tassarolo^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Foley| T: D Hogan| OR: 60

3/1

Three-time winner in 2025 and creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (2m) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drop down in trip promises to suit so he's one to consider.

Form: 48-9355

Awakening^p1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: James Ryan| T: J M Burke| OR: 59

66/1

25/1 and tongue strap on for first time when eighth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (1¾m, good to soft) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces now employed.

Form: 76/087-8

Giselles Defence⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Davis| T: Sean Davis| OR: 59

50/1

Cheekpieces back on and he lost all chance at the start when ninth of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.7f) 40 days ago. That run excusable in isolation but others still preferred.

Form: 0-00059

Phidias Ovation³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: P C O'Donnell| OR: 55

66/1

Little in the way of solid form in his qualifying runs at up to 1m but handicaps more suitable upped in trip.

Form: 08-07

Magna Gee Gee⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Lee| T: P J Flynn| OR: 54

12/1

On a losing run and hurdling debut did not go to plan, distracted when running out at Clonmel a week ago.

Form: 55-0708

Mapa^t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 53

18/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 16/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 24-6030

Pebble Island^p,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 52

16/1

Yet to fire this season, 40/1 when tenth of 16 in handicap at this course (1¼m, good) 15 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip and cheekpieces may sharpen him up.

Form: 79-0000

(1)

Alto Sax^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joseph Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 50| C

7/2

All-weather winner in January and best effort for some time when also successful in 15-runner handicap at this course (1¼m, good) 7 days ago, driven out. Up in trip and remains of serious interest.

Form: 001541

(17)

Al What¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 49

14/1

Maiden who shaped like a non-stayer when eighth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (2m, good) 14 days ago. Back down in trip so better expected here.

Form: 6-60048

(8)

Highway Sixty One¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: L Young| OR: 45

14/1

First run since leaving Andrew McNamara when creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 17 days ago. Task is to now build on that.

Form: 44467-4

(12)

Sir Trancealot^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 58

7/1

Limited impact in a trio of maidens, seventh of 10 in maiden at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 50/1) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time for handicap debut and could be a different proposition for his successful yard.

Form: 077

(19)

Guildhall Graduate³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 57

28/1

Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 35 days ago. Up in trip and may strip fitter with that behind her.

Form: 5475-00

Wipeawayyourtears^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Gavin Ryan| T: M Butler| OR: 54

13/2

More like it in handicaps last month, second at Sligo then third of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 706-23

(16)

Brave Approach⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: J P Fahey| OR: 50

33/1

SIR TRANCEALOT hardly set the world alight in his qualifying runs but he's bred to be much better than this grade and he's in the right hands to improve now handicapping. He could be the answer with Wipeawayyourtears and Chopsticks solid rivals.
