Private Larry^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A McIntyre| OR: 63

2/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 1½m handicap at Bellewstown in July. Promising third on Killarney hurdling debut subsequently and remains of interest back in this sphere.

Form: 000881

Sonny Corleone^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott| OR: 63

7/1

Looked a potential improver but disappointed when seventh of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 24 days ago. First-time blinkers may help him travel with more fluency.

Form: 0-447

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 61

Queen Of Astolat⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 60

10/1

Maiden who did nothing quickly when third of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¾m, good to firm) 40 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Needs more.

Form: 578-633

(5)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 57

Form: 07-060

(4)

Ellens Bay³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 54

50/1

Down the field in a trio of maidens and decent step forward required now handicapping over a longer trip.

Form: 0-00

Elzaam Express^p1⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Crosse| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 47

28/1

Well held in a trio of maidens and not really bred to appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 500

Curious Jane^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 45

16/1

Maiden who again ran to just a poor level in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 9 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good, 18/1) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0-0095

(2)

Canon Law¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: B W Duke| OR: 43

5/2

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Cork (1½m, good to firm) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly despite being 2 lb out of the weights.

Form: 5-06625

Chicago Moon²³

Weight: 10-0| Age: 3

T: H De Bromhead J: Billy Lee

Forecasts

Chicago Moon (7/4), Private Larry (2/1), Canon Law (5/2), Sonny Corleone (7/1), Grey Intentions (9/1), Queen Of Astolat (10/1), Cascade Canyon (11/1), Mare Crisium (16/1), Curious Jane (16/1), Elzaam Express (28/1), Ellens Bay (50/1)

MARE CRISIUM got back on the up when fourth on her handicap debut at Ballinrobe 16 days ago and could be the answer if building on that effort over this longer trip. Chicago Moon and Private Larry head the dangers.
