Doneraile Handicap (Premier Handicap)

3YO plus | 5f | 11 Runners | Turf

(2)

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 102| CD

Resumed winning ways over C&D in June but only ninth of 10 in Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f) 6 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back returned to a handicap.

Form: 21-0019

(6)

Sarahmae²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 96| CD

Successful in C&D handicap and at Down Royal last month and beaten a neck by Genesis in his hat-trick bid in handicap at the Curragh (5f) 26 days ago, conceding first run. Not so good at Naas on Wednesday, however.

Form: 601126

(7)

Erosandpsyche^t1,v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 94| CD

C&D winner back in 2022. Below-form eighth of 16 to Genesis in handicap at the Curragh (5f) 26 days ago. Tongue strap now tried.

Form: 900338

(5)

Howd'yadoit¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 98| D

Scored at Navan in May but below that form since, eighth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 12 days ago. Has something to prove now.

Form: 8-41748

(1)

Chicago Call^p1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 93

Useful at his best but comes here below par, hanging left when seventh of 8 in Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f) last time. Cheekpieces go on for handicap debut.

Form: 620-567

(11)

Eclairage^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 89| D

Runner-up in this last year and took a big step back in right direction when fitted with cheekpieces and second of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 12 days ago. Must enter calculations off the same mark.

Form: 4-20702

(10)

Rosie Frith¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: P Magee| OR: 93| CD

Back to winning ways at Bellewstown earlier this month and followed it with a good fourth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 12 days ago. This C&D scorer is weighted to go well.

Form: 21-8014

(8)

Ipanema Queen⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 92| D

Won 3 times for Adrian Murray in 2025, including listed race. Good sixth of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) in June but stiff task when eighth in Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh 6 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 1-27468

(4)

Genesis^p,t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 84| D

Resumed winning ways at the Curragh (5f) in June and backed it up with a very good third of 20 there (6f) 6 days ago. A likely player back at 5f now.

Form: 140313

(9)

Allsortz²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 84| CD

Gained a second win of 2026 over C&D in May. Not at his best when eleventh of 13 in handicap at York (5f) 27 days ago but the sort to bounce back.

Form: 213130

(3)

Fox In Flight¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rebecca Parsons⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 80| D

Dundalk maiden winner not disgraced when fifth of 9 in handicap there (5f) 12 days ago. More is required from out of the weights here.

Form: 3-80295

Forecasts

Ipanema Queen (9/2), Sarahmae (5/1), Kendall Roy (6/1), Genesis (6/1), Eclairage (7/1), Chicago Call (7/1), Rosie Frith (8/1), Erosandpsyche (10/1), Howd'yadoit (12/1), Allsortz (16/1), Fox In Flight (25/1)

Lots with chances but C&D scorer ROSIE FRITH rates just the pick at these weights so edges the vote from the thriving Genesis, who rates a big threat in his bid for a third success of the season. Eclairage, Ipanema Queen and Allsortz can all play a prominent role too in this highly competitive handicap.
