Alfred Tennyson^b,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 76| D

13/2

Unreliable sort but went close in Navan handicap in June. Rather in-and-out since, though good third at Galway just 10 days ago. Needs to back that up now with the tongue strap refitted.

Tokyo Treasure^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: P T Foley| OR: 74

9/2

Lightly-raced gelding who showed a bit in 3 maidens last year. Stiff task when seventh of 11 in minor event (22/1) at Limerick (6.7f, good to firm) on return in July. Booking of McMonagle a plus on handicap debut and should have more to offer.

Form: 838-7

Send Harry^h,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E McCutcheon| OR: 72| D

7/1

Made the frame in handicap at Leopardstown in June and minor event at Limerick in July. Below form in handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago.

Summer Snow^t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Ryan| T: P Lawlor| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Struggling for form at present, seventeenth of 20 at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) just 6 weeks ago. Handicapper drops her another chunk.

Form: 80-9050

(6)

Bundle Of Interest^v⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 71

22/1

Opened account in handicap at Navan last summer. Returned to that level when a close third at Gowran in October but might have needed the run after 6 months off at Naas in May. Reappears here on the back of another break.

Form: 46437-0

Morehampton²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 77| CD

11/2

C&D maiden winner last summer but failed to match that form since and down the field all 5 starts this season. The cheekpieces are left off.

Form: 0-40509

Neo Smart^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 69| D

4/1

Showed a good attitude to land Dundalk handicap in February. Best turf effort of the season when fourth of 20 at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) in June before a respectable effort at Leopardstown last time. Place chance.

Bofa Beach³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 73

22/1

Third in 1m maiden here on reappearance before perhaps stretched by the longer trip at this course next time. Ran to just a modest level when third in maiden at Naas (1m, good, 5/1) in July. Improvement to find on handicap debut.

Form: 40-393

(8)

Caitouna^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 71| D

9/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark with Colin Keane taking over on second handicap start at Fairyhouse in July. Failed to match that effort in 2 outings since. Cheekpieces go on but others more persuasive.

Form: 559196

Ballymagreehan²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 64| C

12/1

Course winner back in May. Raised 10 lb for that and not disgraced in 2 starts since, though looks in the handicapper's grip at present.

Form: 760177

(13)

Fortuity^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 66| BF| D

16/1

Career-best effort when winning over 7f at Fairyhouse in May switched to front-running tactics. Quickly back to form when fourth of 14 in handicap there (8.7f, good) in July under another attacking ride. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 9-02164

Reimagined²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 66

25/1

Made the frame twice from 4 starts for the yard this season, latest when 3 lengths fourth to Bullet Bourbon in 11-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) last month. Must improve.

Forecasts

Neo Smart (4/1), Tokyo Treasure (9/2), Morehampton (11/2), Alfred Tennyson (13/2), Send Harry (7/1), Summer Snow (8/1), Caitouna (9/1), Ballymagreehan (12/1), Ohailbhic (12/1), Fortuity (16/1), Bundle Of Interest (22/1), Bofa Beach (22/1), Reimagined (25/1)

Handicap debutant TOKYO TREASURE remains with potential so is taken to open his account with the benefit of a favourable draw. Neo Smart is on a handy mark and can make her presence felt, while it would be no surprise to see Alfred Tennyson take a hand in the finish also.
