Rather hit and miss since winning valuable C&D handicap in 2024. Ran up to best sporting first-time blinkers when runner-up in corresponding race late-June (winner has run well at Galway since). Down in grade and could be a serious player if headgear has same effect.

Hold-up performer who ended long losing run under this claimer at Cork in late-April. Below form both starts the following month and has a bit to find at the weights on return from 12 weeks off.

Enhanced fine Leopardstown record with an easy 2-length success under a positive ride there last time. Makes appeal in a race where he may again get the run of things.

Third in fairly useful handicap at Killarney before extending his long losing run in a stronger race than he need contest at Galway (50/1) last time. Handicapper has at least given him another chance.

Progressive sort. Notched third win from 6 starts for current yard when well-backed ½-length winner here (7f) in late-June. In-frame horses haven't franked that form, however, still merits respect in bid to make 2-2 under Oisin Murphy.

From a family connections have had plenty of success with. Off the mark at sixth time of asking in workmanlike fashion at Killarney last time. Now taking on older horses on handicap bow, but he could still have more to offer.

Remained in fine form since readily winning Ballinrobe maiden on return in May. Travelled strongly when doubling her tally in cosy fashion at Leopardstown (1¼m) latest. Drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue and probably still ahead of the handicapper off 2 lb higher.

Decisively capitalised on much-reduced mark at Leopardstown in June. Ran at least as well in defeat off 9 lb higher when beaten just over 2 lengths in a well-contested handicap at Galway since. Could be interesting having another crack over 1m (in much better heart than when previously tried).

C&D winner who went close to snapping his long losing sequence in handicaps at Gowran/Killarney last month. Still on an attractive mark following lesser effort in soft-ground handicap at Galway latest. Interesting if bouncing back with Colin Keane aboard.

Made full use of her experience to get off the mark in Dundalk maiden (7f) in March. Chased home a useful sort at Leopardstown in June but didn't improve for the addition of cheekpieces when 2¾ lengths fifth of 6 over C&D last time. Dark Viper perhaps the stable's leading chance.

Forecasts

Summer Island (10/3), Marmeladova (10/3), Booyea (4/1), No More Porter (11/2), Kalir (6/1), Goal Exceeded (12/1), Dark Viper (12/1), Playin Cool (12/1), Glory To Be (16/1), Glitter And Glory (22/1), Final Voyage (33/1), Howyoulikethat (33/1)

Verdict

MARMELADOVA won in the manner of a well-handicapped horse at Leopardstown last time and can defy a 2 lb rise. Class-dropper Booyea and in-form Goal Exceeded are feared most, with Dark Viper and No More Porter also worth considering in a competitive finale.
