Go Athletico^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 81| CD

10/3

Twelve runs since last win in 2025 but has been shaping up quite well and found only one too good at Galway (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks well treated if building on that.

Gerrit's Gem⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Scott McCullagh| T: J G Coogan| OR: 76| D

40/1

Yet to fire in 3 starts this season. Is gradually edging back down the weights but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Form: 924-007

Sovereign Cry²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 78

8/1

Bounced back to form with a vengeance when winning 12-runner handicap at Naas in July. Wasn't disgraced when no better than mid-division in deeper race here last time. Has work to do at the weights.

Lohoobb⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 75

11/2

Fairly useful maiden who posted a best effort when second at Ffos Las in June on final outing for Owen Burrows. Shaped better than the bare result when fourth at Naas (6f, good, 16/1) 6 days ago, travelling fluently but caught further back than ideal. Shortlist material.

Form: 4-52524

Nazario^p1,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74

13/2

Fair maiden who placed on 4 of his 6 outings as a juvenile for Miss Natalia Lupini. Has shaped as if in good form this year with a couple of in-the-frame efforts. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces and the tongue strap goes back on.

Form: 3726-44

Hugo's Girl^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 68

9/2

Still looking for a breakthrough victory but out of the frame only once so far this season, good fourth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in July. The tongue strap goes back on and she has an interesting jockey booking in Oisin Murphy.

Nouvel Espoir²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J Barcoe| OR: 67

14/1

Took advantage of easing mark when winning at Down Royal in June. Has made the frame both starts since and another minor role could be on the cards.

All Hail^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver| OR: 70

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Much improved from his reappearance with fourth at Navan (5f) in July. Failed to build on that upped in grade when last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Naas (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. The blinkers now go on.

Form: 082-840

Mint Man^t,v1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 66| D

5/1

Bounced back to form with the tongue strap refitted when third of 10 in handicap at Naas (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. A visor goes on for the first time now and has dropped further in the weights to a career-low mark.

Form: 784803

Yutori¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 66

50/1

Runner-up in Dundalk maiden in January but failed to repeat that effort in handicap there the following month. Significantly back down in trip and is probably best watched after nearly 6 months off.

Form: 0368-27

Aurora Nova²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 62| D

33/1

Best effort this season when third at Bellewstown in April. Finished down the field at Navan on last 2 starts. Has work to do back up in grade.

Form: 9-03590

Beat The Devil^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Magee| OR: 62

66/1

Had a good spell on the all-weather at Dundalk over the winter, winning 1m handicap in January. Ran to just a modest level over hurdles since last seen in this sphere. Takes a marked drop back in trip on the Flat.

Caislean Ni Cuan¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins| OR: 66

28/1

Shown modest form from 3 starts in maidens over 7f, though has not helped her chances with pulling hard on the last 2 outings. Is open to improvement now handicapping though needs to settle better.

Form: 475

Rosato¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Weld| OR: 58| D

7/1

Bounced back to form from a much-reduced mark when second of 19 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. May find things more difficult from 1 lb out of the weights in this higher grade.

Forecasts

Go Athletico (10/3), Hugo's Girl (9/2), Jon Riggens (9/2), Mint Man (5/1), Lohoobb (11/2), Nazario (13/2), Rosato (7/1), Sovereign Cry (8/1), Nouvel Espoir (14/1), Caislean Ni Cuan (28/1), All Hail (33/1), Aurora Nova (33/1), Gerrit's Gem (40/1), Yutori (50/1), Beat The Devil (66/1)

LOHOOBB shaped with plenty of encouragement on recent stable debut and gets the vote to open his account. Mint Man has dropped to an appealing mark and heads the list of dangers from Hugo's Girl and Go Athletico.
