Off time: 20:08 | Winning time: 3m 59.50s

Bacharach^t³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: G P Cromwell

16/5

€200,000 3-y-o, Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdle winner/top-class chaser Santini and fairly useful hurdler Rockpoint. Didn't shape that well on debut but, fitted with a tongue tie, showed up much better when second of 11 at Ballinrobe a month ago. Likely type.

Form: 0-2

Caislean Gear²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

9/4

Galileo Chrome gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful bumper winner/fairly useful 19f hurdle winner Old McDonald. Promising start when second of 7 on debut at Roscommon 3 weeks ago and that form puts him right in the mix.

Form: 2

Frisco Lad

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: H De Bromhead

9/4

Fourth foal, dam, showed nothing over hurdles, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 21f) Offaly and useful bumper winner Blencathra Bay. Newcomer for excellent yard so of serious interest if vibes are positive.

Form:

Mountain Sky^t1⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Gerard O'Leary

12/1

Dubawi gelding. Dam, 10.3f winner on Flat, sister to fairly useful hurdle winner around 2m Vancouverite. Didn't achieve a great deal on debut at Killarney in May but wasn't seen to best effect in fairness. This will reveal more with a tongue tie fitted.

Form: 5

River Cartwright

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

25/1

€16,000 3-y-o, seventh foal. half-brother to bumper winner/fair 23f hurdle winner Chance The Robin. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Snoopy Loopy and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Adams. Likely to need further but he's in capable hands.

Form:

Time For Talking³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: Richard Hennessy

6/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to modest chaser Hollywood Harmon. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Bob Lingo. Bred for stamina but offered plenty to work on when third at Ballinrobe a month ago (behind Bacharach). Will know more this time.

Form: 3

Village Star

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr S Cavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D M O'Brien

40/1

Brother to poor hurdler Parish Star (2½m winner) and half-brother to a winner on Flat. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Via Galilei.

Form:

The President³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott

16/1

Walk In The Park filly. Dam (c151/h159) 2m-25f hurdle/chase winner, also 14.5f winner on Flat. Easy to back given illustrious dam and minor promise only starting out at Listowel a month ago. In the right hands to build on that.

Form: 3

Non-Runners

Maggies Yard

Weight: 11-3| Age: 4

T: R P Rath J: Mr D Doyle

Forecasts

Frisco Lad (9/4), Caislean Gear (9/4), Bacharach (16/5), Time For Talking (6/1), Mountain Sky (12/1), The President (16/1), River Cartwright (25/1), Maggies Yard (25/1), Village Star (40/1)

BACHARACH has a long way to go if he's to live up to his pedigree but, fitted wth a tongue tie, took a big step forward when second at Ballinrobe a month ago. He's marginally preferred to Caislean Gear, though market support for newcomer Frisco Lad would put a different slant on things.
