Amiata⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 87| CD

7/1

Usually patiently ridden of late and overcame traffic issues when winning handicap over this C&D in April. Also landed 12-runner contest at the Curragh (5f) in June and he's much respected, even if he does need things to drop right.

Form: 4-55141

Red Evolution^t1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 83

9/2

Developed into a useful performer last year with 3 victories. Hasn't matched that form in a trio of starts this season, seventh of 20 in the Scurry at the Curragh 16 days ago, but he's been given a chance by the handicapper. Interesting with tongue strap fitted.

Form: 721-407

Gavoo^v¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 84| D

7/2

Successful twice last year, including minor event at Dundalk in November. Has shaped as if still in good heart this season, in first-time visor when never-nearer fifth of 20 in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh 16 days ago.

Form: 51-4925

Moltophino^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 80| D

6/1

Sole success came in premier handicap at the Curragh last spring. Hasn't kicked on from this season's return, ninth of 20 in the Scurry at the same course 16 days ago, but his mark has at least eased as a result.

Form: 450-979

Spodo Komodo¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane| OR: 78| D

7/1

Off the mark at the Curragh (6f) on fourth and final start last year. Stepped forward from this season's reappearance when second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 12 days ago, though was outbattled in the finish.

Form: 4431-02

(10)

Smoke Them Out³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 76| D

18/1

All 3 career victories over 6f, the latest at the Curragh in March. Form has been mixed since, leaving behind a lesser effort when staying on for third in 5-runner contest at Bellewstown (5f) a month ago. Needs to back that up.

Form: 160203

Leveraging¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 79| D

80/1

Winner of a Dundalk maiden in December, but after 7 months off he faced a stiff task on handicap debut when last of 20 in the Scurry at the Curragh 16 days ago. Drops in grade but still has something to find.

Form: 0961-0

Clonmacash^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 73| D

28/1

Successful twice at Dundalk this year and had been holding his form well prior to being left poorly placed in handicap at Ayr 2 weeks ago. More needed, though, if he's to score in this grade.

Form: 535437

(1)

Gotta Catch'em All^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: H Rogers| OR: 73| CD

10/3

Fitted with blinkers and dropped in trip, got off the mark at Navan (5.8f) on first start last month. Built on that effort when following up in 10-runner contest over C&D 12 days ago and he can make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 769611

(7)

Flaming Rib^v1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 71| D

25/1

Smart performer at his best for Hugo Palmer. However, he's without a win since early 2023 and failed to build on an in-frame effort at Down Royal when 8 lengths eighth of 10 to Gotta Catch'em All over this C&D 12 days ago. Visor reached for.

Form: 940-548

(6)

Lohoobb⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 75| BF

16/1

Fairly useful maiden who posted a good second of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f) in June, leading 1f out until the dying strides. Free-going type who is one to note making first start since leaving Owen Burrows.

Form: 24-5252

Forecasts

Gotta Catch'em All (10/3), Gavoo (7/2), Red Evolution (9/2), Moltophino (6/1), Amiata (7/1), Spodo Komodo (7/1), Lohoobb (16/1), Smoke Them Out (18/1), Flaming Rib (25/1), Clonmacash (28/1), Leveraging (80/1)

GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL has shown improved form switched to sprinting with blinkers applied, making it back-to-back wins when scoring over C&D 12 days ago, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. He gets the vote ahead of Amiata, who has won 2 of his last 3 starts, with Red Evolution also considered.
