Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Sam Coen| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 59

11/2

Fair maiden. Stepped up on reappearance run when third of 14 in handicap at Down Royal in May. Not seen to best effect when below form in similar event at Leopardstown last time and capable of finishing in the frame if back to his best.

Form: 550-930

10/1

Runner-up in handicap at Ballinrobe in May but has failed to build on that since despite slipping further in the handicap. Usual headgear removed now tackling a 0-60 event for the first time.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Nicola Burns| T: R P Burns| OR: 57| C| D

20/1

Scored at Cork in May, but largely below form since and likely needs further respite from the handicapper before becoming of interest.

Georg Zhukov^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 55

50/1

Off the mark over 1m at Dundalk in January but well beaten there both outings in this sphere since and didn't go with a great deal of encouragement when last seen over hurdles 15 days ago. Switches back to the Flat but is better on the all-weather.

Form: 482-100

13/2

Snapped lengthy losing run when winning 12-runner extended 1½m apprentice handicap at Limerick a fortnight ago by a head from Without Love. Races from only a pound higher now back down in trip and has to be high on the shortlist.

7/2

Fast approaching 3 years without a win and little encouragement to be gleaned from recent starts for all he's entitled to come on for his recent run.

Forecasts

Yquem (7/2), Duchess Anne (9/2), Burford Beauty (11/2), Master Garvey (6/1), Magna Gee Gee (13/2), Lady Luck (9/1), Hexagonal (10/1), Morning Approach (10/1), Jazz Dreamers (16/1), My Vonnie (16/1), Deuteronomy (20/1), Shahada Ace (33/1), Haughty (33/1), Georg Zhukov (50/1)

MAGNA GEE GEE ended a lengthy losing run at Limerick a fortnight ago and is fancied to follow up from just 1 lb higher. Yquem ran well despite a steep rise last time and looks the main danger, while Hexagonal is respected now tackling this level for the first time.
