Carrigans Grove^b1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: P J Flynn| OR: 67

14/1

Much improved last season, winning 3 times with latest success at the Curragh in August. Yet to hit those heights of last year, but no surprise if more severe headgear sparks a revival.

Form: 210-840

Little Miss P^v1⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 67

25/1

Promise in maidens last summer but tailed off both starts in handicaps this season, though easy to excuse her latest Roscommon effort (raced wide). Drops down to 7f and a first-time visor is applied.

Form: 3555-00

(16)

Queen Aethelflaed^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 66

12/1

Confirmed she's back to her best when winning at Gowran last month and shaped better than the bare result under a 7-lb penalty when fourth of 14 at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago, doing too much too soon. Worth bearing in mind back at 7f from her revised mark.

Form: 2-80214

(17)

Are You In Or Out²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Robert Whearty| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 64| C| D

20/1

Enhanced her good record fresh when making a winning stable debut on reappearance over 6f here in May, proving at least as good as ever. Went backwards from that at Leopardstown since though, so needs to get back on track.

Form: 0070-17

(9)

Famed Again⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 64

40/1

0-10 but she recorded a respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) on her return just over 6 weeks ago. Needs to build on it.

Form: 40/500-7

(10)

Hasita³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 72

11/2

Promise in maidens, matching previous form when third of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) last month. Potential improver now handicapping.

Form: 08-33

(2)

Minaun View^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63

4/1

Still a maiden after 18 starts, though wasted no time getting back to form when second of 9 at Down Royal (7f, soft) 12 days ago. Each-way claims from the same mark.

Form: 735652

(13)

Rodeeve^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Browne| OR: 62| C

10/1

Put up an improved effort to get off the mark in 15-runner event at this course (6f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago, doing well to pull away as she did given that she only got in the clear late on. Back up in trip and remains of interest despite a 12 lb rise.

Form: 70-8451

(20)

Sagasti^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 70

16/1

Ran well on form but didn't look the most straightforward of rides when third of 12 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago. No surprise to see a first-time visor applied.

Form: 083-63

(3)

Jasmine Affanalis^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 61

9/1

Won over 9f at Tipperary last summer and has been shaping up well in recent months, just edged out at Killarney in May. Shaped much better than the distance beaten suggested at Limerick last month and remains one to be interested in.

Form: 1-07520

(18)

Two And Two¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 69

40/1

Scored second time up at Dundalk in January and seemed to cope fine with the drop down to the minimum trip when fourth of 6 in handicap at Down Royal 12 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 8-1504

(15)

Caitouna²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 67

14/1

Fair form in a trio of 1m maidens. Unsurprisingly seemed unsuited by the drop in trip when ninth of 18 on handicap debut at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 4 weeks ago and tries 7f for the first time. Booking of Colin Keane catches the eye.

Form: 4559

(8)

Elly Bay^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Ryan| T: J Davison| OR: 63

12/1

Fair juvenile maiden for Johnny Murtagh. Got right back on track after a very low-key start to the season when second of 13 over C&D (good) just under 5 weeks ago and first-time cheekpieces may eke out that bit extra.

Form: 949-652

(5)

Imnotleavinyou^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 62| BF| D

16/1

Resumed progress when off the mark in decent style at Limerick last month but possibly found the race coming too soon just 2 days on at Gowran (7f, good to soft) next time. Worth another chance.

Form: 222915

(14)

Bear Right¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 61

10/1

Matched previous form when fourth of 12 at Cork (1m, good) last month. Back down to 7f but looks more or less exposed now.

Form: 66-U734

(1)

Casla's Eagle⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 61

12/1

Left previous efforts behind when fourth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 8 weeks ago. Looks the type to do better in handicaps so she may well have a part to play.

Form: 774

(4)

Altimara^h³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 71| D

14/1

Dual 7f Leopardstown winner last August. Little to shout about both starts this year so needs to get back on track. RESERVE.

Form: 1337-09

(11)

Dervo Annie¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Connell| OR: 60| BF| C

16/1

Justified support to open her account here (6f) last month, getting away with the drop back in trip. Not in the same form returned to 1m at Down Royal 12 days ago but it remains early days. RESERVE.

Form: 08-7215

Forecasts

Minaun View (4/1), Hasita (11/2), Jasmine Affanalis (9/1), Bear Right (10/1), Rodeeve (10/1), Elly Bay (12/1), Casla's Eagle (12/1), Queen Aethelflaed (12/1), Mo Anam Chara (12/1), Caitouna (14/1), Altimara (14/1), Carrigans Grove (14/1), Dervo Annie (16/1), Imnotleavinyou (16/1), Sagasti (16/1), Are You In Or Out (20/1), Little Miss P (25/1), Famed Again (40/1), Two And Two (40/1), Bundle Of Interest (50/1), Wild Berries (50/1)

A huge field in which cases can be made for several. The vote goes to JASMINE AFFANALIS, who went very close to doubling her tally at Killarney in May and can have her subsequent Limerick effort easily ignored. First-time cheekpieces go on and she can get the better of Hasita, who is less exposed than most and could show much more now handicapping. Queen Aethelflaed, Elly Bay and Rodeeve complete the shortlist.
