He Who Dares⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Ben Coen| T: S Curling| OR: 60

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Comfortably won 13-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f) 4 days ago. Not taken lightly back in this sphere for his handicap debut.

Form: 860-

Inchiquin Star³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: T O'Brien| OR: 60| CD

6/1

Shaped well after 6 months off for new yard when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (2m) 36 days ago. Fair winner on the Flat so needs considering back in this sphere.

Form: 6/01066-

Cala Gracioneta⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 58

6/1

Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (1½m) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and not out of things.

Form: 900-028

All In Peder^p³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dempsey| OR: 57| D

125/1

Two-time winner for Emmet Mullins in 2023. Well held over hurdles in a light career for current yard and last of 11 back on Flat after 12 months off at Listowel in May.

Form: 11360/0

You Make Me Smile^v²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Billy Lee| T: P A Fahy| OR: 57| BF

5/1

11/2, good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (19f) 23 days ago, just failing. One to consider back on the Flat.

Form: 821-732

(12)

Takarengo¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: J Barcoe| OR: 54| D

25/1

Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (13f) 17 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 2386-00

Captain Hanley^h,t⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: E O'Connell| OR: 51

9/2

Remains a maiden and a below-form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (2½m) 4 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 4-64256

(7)

Black Soul^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: Conor Houlihan| OR: 49

40/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¼m) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on with more needed if he's to gain a first win in this sphere.

Form: 72/750-0

Bynx²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 48| C| D

9/1

Remains a maiden after 22 runs but she recorded a respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (17f) 27 days ago.

Form: 3330-68

(9)

Reflectionist^t⁴⁰⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Gavin Ryan| T: M Fahey| OR: 48

12/1

A dual hurdle winner in 2023 but below par since, signing off for Gavin Cromwell when tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f) 13 months ago. Has his fitness to prove on comeback run for new stable.

Form: 079080/

(4)

Synchronize³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: J Morrison| OR: 41

4/1

Yet to score but right back on track with staying-on second of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f) 30 days ago. Big shout nudged up just 1 lb with the step back up in trip also a plus.

Form: 6609-42

(2)

Lariat^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: L P Cusack| OR: 40

22/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (13f) 30 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 070/67-7

Forecasts

Synchronize (4/1), Captain Hanley (9/2), You Make Me Smile (5/1), He Who Dares (6/1), Cala Gracioneta (6/1), Inchiquin Star (6/1), Bynx (9/1), Reflectionist (12/1), Lariat (22/1), Takarengo (25/1), Black Soul (40/1), All In Peder (125/1)

SYNCHRONIZE signalled he is ready to get off the mark when running on into second at Navan last time and can go one better off just a 1 lb higher mark with this longer trip a positive too. Inchiquin Star is feared most on the back of a promising Listowel hurdling fourth for her new stable, while recent chase winner He Who Dares is also well in the mix. You Make Me Smile and Cala Gracioneta also need factoring into this very open handicap.
