Nothing Hectic⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 98| C

14/1

C&D maiden winner last August but has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps since.

Form: 431P-77

Cornaroya Rocco²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 97

16/1

Left previous efforts behind when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Has been nudged back up 3 lb but a repeat effort gives him place claims, at the least.

Form: P65-4P2

Tannery Park⁴⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B Connell| OR: 97| C

12/1

Golden Horn gelding who proved relatively easy to back but posted an improved performance when shedding maiden tag here (2¾m, good) in May 2025. Fact he's been absent again since has to be a slight concern, though.

Form: 0950/51-

Pilgrims Walk^p1⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 96

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted an improved second of 15 on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (3m, good) 56 days ago. Open to further progress with cheekpieces added, and holds leading claims.

Form: 080-2

Political Stance¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 91

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden who was second on Clonmel handicap debut (2m, heavy) but ran no sort of race at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft) in February. Off since, and the beting should help guide to expectations.

Form: 9072P-

It's Time Again^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam McKenna⁽³⁾| T: David Barry| OR: 90| C

25/1

C&D winner who may have won but for crashing out at the last at Clonmel (2¾m, good) in June, but well beaten back here switched to front-running tactics since.

Form: 1/6-0PF8

Ranger Billy^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: K A Heffernan| OR: 85

14/1

50/1, first form for current connections when third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (2¾m, good) 20 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 5/P0-PP3

Poetic Focus²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Gilligan| T: A Slattery| OR: 84

4/1

Modest maiden. 11/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (21f, good) 29 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 4F0-750

Chanceitlucky²⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: A Murray| OR: 82

20/1

Showed a bit more than in maidens when sixth of 24 on his handicap debut at Navan (2m, heavy) in November, but needs another step forward now moving back up in trip on return.

Form: P/09046-

Moonshine Girl^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 80

9/2

Long-standing maiden but arrives on the back of good runner-up efforts at Limerick (2¾m, soft) and Roscommon (25f, good) this summer. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 3P8-722

Urbs Intacta Manet^p⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel King| T: J P Flavin| OR: 80

80/1

Has shown little in maiden and handicaps hurdles to date.

Form: 00P06-0

Mini Getaway⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Alex Harvey| T: M M Lynch| OR: 79

14/1

Reliable sort who has made the frame on 5 of her 6 starts in handicap hurdles and also placed over fences at Downpatrick in May.

Form: 324/14-3

Queen Kulina³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 75

8/1

Long-standing maiden but arrives on the back of a pair of in-frame efforts around 3m in recent months.

Form: 48-F834

La Tene²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 72

11/1

Took a step back in the right direction when third of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at this course (2¾m, good) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: P39F-P3

Lost Features²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Gary Noonan| T: D Collins| OR: 74

22/1

Showed more than previously when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (2¾m, good, 66/1) 20 days ago. Needs to build on that now. RESERVE.

Form: P9-98P5

Everystep Oftheway⁷⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 82

28/1

Made the frame on 3 consecutive outings in summer 2024 but almost certainly best watched returning from 2 years off this time. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Poetic Focus (4/1), Moonshine Girl (9/2), Political Stance (9/2), Pilgrims Walk (8/1), Queen Kulina (8/1), La Tene (11/1), Tannery Park (12/1), The Little Yank (12/1), Nothing Hectic (14/1), Ranger Billy (14/1), Mini Getaway (14/1), Cornaroya Rocco (16/1), Joshua Chamberlain (16/1), Chanceitlucky (20/1), Lost Features (22/1), It's Time Again (25/1), Everystep Oftheway (28/1), Tawny Lea (66/1), Urbs Intacta Manet (80/1)

PILGRIMS WALK could have more to offer on the back of his improved handicap debut second at Kilbeggan and gets the nod ahead of Cornaroya Rocco, who, like the selection, posted her best effort when runner-up last time. Moonshine Girl and Ranger Billy are others likely to have a say.
