11/1

Won on the Flat at Navan (soft) last autumn. Well beaten over hurdles at Thurles when last seen in February but has gone well fresh before and could bounce back.

6/1

Cheekpieces on first time, won 11-runner handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 50/1) 16 days ago. Hit with an 11 lb rise for that wide-margin success.

Young Churchill²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Brien| OR: 60

11/1

Best run for current yard when a solid third of 12 in handicap at Limerick (12.3f, good to firm) last month. Showed enough to think he's still in form when seventh of 15 at Killarney (11.5f, good) 4 days later. Enters calculations.

Form: 70-7037

God The Highness⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 58

9/2

9/1 and cheekpieces on first time, respectable 7 lengths ninth of 16 to Deluca Chop in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 59 days ago. Fairly treated if recapturing last year's form.

Eastern Wind^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 54

12/1

Ran poorly over hurdles at Downpatrick (2¾m, good) 22 days ago but had been performing respectably on the Flat prior to that, including a second at Leopardstown in May.

Think About It⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: T P McGettigan| OR: 54

66/1

50/1, below-form seventh of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (1½m, good) 86 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 49-8057

(11)

Deluca Chop^v⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 52| D

13/2

Arrives on a hat-trick after 13f wins at Navan and Down Royal in June. Scored cosily on latter occasion so he's a player despite a 6 lb weights rise.

Form: 233211

Without Love²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Cian Hughes| OR: 52| BF

3/1

Winner at Dundalk in January. 4/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Limerick (12.3f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 134022

Maxwell Smart²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50| D

18/1

One win from 27 Flat runs but he was a creditable third here in May. Always behind over hurdles at this course 24 days ago. A return to the Flat needs to spark a revival.

Form: 6-39658

Mystic Rose^p,t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 50

17/2

20/1 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 24 days ago. Claims if she can build on that for in-form stable.

Form: 407553

Wungudi^t1²⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: D Budds| OR: 50

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 15 months prior to finishing well held on Dundalk handciap debut in November and absent for a further 9 months since. Tongue strap on first time. Others are more obvious.

Form: 500/9-

Anightaway^t1¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Davis| OR: 48

11/1

Maiden. Eighth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Navan (1¼m, heavy) when last seen in March. Significantly up in trip with a tongue strap added now.

Form: 0000-08

Piatra Neamt^p⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 45

20/1

50/1 and visored first time, fifth of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) 79 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 960-005

Forecasts

Without Love (3/1), God The Highness (9/2), Reflectionist (6/1), Deluca Chop (13/2), Mystic Rose (17/2), Anightaway (11/1), Charlie Brow'n (11/1), Young Churchill (11/1), Eastern Wind (12/1), Maxwell Smart (18/1), Piatra Neamt (20/1), Plus Or Minus (33/1), Think About It (66/1), Wungudi (100/1)

DELUCA CHOP is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Without Love posted 2 good runner-up efforts last month and heads the dangers along with Young Churchill and Mystic Rose.
