Harana^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 80

13/2

Well-bred daughter of Ghaiyyath who improved when winning maiden at Ballinrobe in June by 3½ lengths from Mano Chicago. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when 3¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Thread Of Gold in handicap at Leopardstown last time, giving best only late on. Back down in trip.

Form: 2-3515

Frank Pickle¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Coen| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 79| D

15/2

Better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Leopardstown in July by ¾ length from Dark Viper. A 7 lb rise demands further progress, though.

Form: 260-451

(9)

Ocean Manifest^b,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 77| D

66/1

Scored at Dundalk in January and held form next 2 starts. Possibly needed the run after 4 months off last time and on last winning mark if stepping forward from that effort here.

Form: 13-1640

(6)

Red Hugh O'Donnell^b,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: G Scott| OR: 74| D

28/1

Stepped up markedly on reappearance when winning 14-runner handicap at Killarney 11 days ago by a head from Mythical Rock, staying on to lead final 100 yards. A 6 lb rise demands another career best, however.

Form: 105-081

Zaraahmando^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 74| D

6/1

Won 3 times in 2025 and as good as ever when placed at Leopardstown on last 2 starts, 2¼ lengths third of 13 to Frank Pickle on latest. Looks sure to give another good account.

Form: 5-40623

(3)

No More Porter^p,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 72| D

9/1

Without a win since September 2024 but has recorded solid placed efforts on 3 of his last 4 starts, ½-length third of 14 to Red Hugh O'Donnell at Killarney on latest.

Form: 46-3023

(4)

Liberation Date²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Jack Foley| OR: 78

5/1

Improved despite racing from 3 lb out of the weights when 2¼ lengths third of 16 to King Of Earth in 0-95 handicap at the Curragh last time. One for the shortlist back down in grade.

Form: 31-9683

(2)

Hambelton¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 77| D

6/5

Strong-travelling front runner. Dominated from a good draw when much-improved winner at Cork (1m, good) in June (form proving solid) and again ran well when ½-length second of 11 to Illy's Roo at York last time. Well drawn and could take some pegging back if granted an easy lead. Major player.

Form: 8-45512

(7)

Snow Princess¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: James Ryan| T: J Davison| OR: 71

33/1

Best effort in maidens when 6½ lengths third of 14 to Mixed Feelings at Leopardstown last time. Open to further improvement now tackling a handicap.

Form: 543

Forecasts

Hambelton (6/5), Liberation Date (5/1), Zaraahmando (6/1), Harana (13/2), Frank Pickle (15/2), No More Porter (9/1), Red Hugh O'Donnell (28/1), Snow Princess (33/1), Ocean Manifest (66/1)

HAMBLETON caught the eye with how strongly he travelled when runner-up at York 15 days ago and is taken to go one better from a low draw. Liberation Date ran well in a stronger handicap last time and rates the chief threat if backing that up, with Snow Princess open to further progress now handicapping.
