17/2

On long losing run. With headgear/tongue strap left off, 40/1, bounced back to form when third of 14 in handicap at Fairyhouse (1¼m, good) 13 days ago. Looks competitive if building on that.

Half Nutz⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: E E Ryan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 40

8/1

Losing run continues to mount up and he's not the easiest to catch right nowadays. Best effort of the season when third of 14 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Comes with risks attached.

Chipsrdown (7/2), Ella's Gold (4/1), Nephin Mountain (5/1), Max Meridius (5/1), Rampage (13/2), Limestone Red (7/1), Half Nutz (8/1), Lust (17/2), Hieloray (10/1), Akashaa (12/1), Smooth (12/1), Pinball Wizard (12/1), Genuine Jim (22/1), William F Browne (25/1), Lohengrin (28/1), Curious Jane (50/1), Jewels Legacy (66/1), Shanlieve (66/1)

A basement-grade handicap with only a few making much appeal. CHIPSRDOWN has been running well of late and can open her account from Max Meridius and Ella's Gold in that order.
