Amerilis^p,t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: G Scott| OR: 67

11/2

Runner-up on 2 of her last 3 starts, bumping into a well-treated sort in extended 6f event at the Curragh in June and then chasing home the improved Another Nice'day in 5f handicap at Navan last time. Entitled to be firmly in the mix again.

Form: 6-49262

Gonna Be Golden^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 66

10/1

Won 7f maiden at Dundalk in 2025. Best effort this year when third of 7 to The Right One at Down Royal (5f) last month. Ran poorly back at this trip last time and needs to bounce back.

Form: 0U0360

The Right One^p³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 66| D

12/1

Improved in first-time cheekpieces when landing 7-runner handicap at Down Royal in June by ¾ length from Mini Cotai. Shaped as if amiss at Down Royal 22 days later, though.

Form: 3240-10

Cashel Blue³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 65| D

5/1

Improved when winning 5f handicap at Down Royal in May by neck from Spirit Above. Backed that up off 6 lb higher mark when ½-length third of 10 to Another Nice'day at Navan last month. Another pound higher here but could yet have more to come after just 5 starts.

Form: 70513

Lilbittyprettyone³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rebecca Parsons⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 62

33/1

Ran to a fair level on debut but has failed to build on that since. Probably needed run on return but needs to take a step forward is she's to feature now back down in trip on handicap debut. Tongue tie left off.

Form: 586-9

Smart Sioux^t¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Connell| OR: 57

66/1

Showed little in varied events as a juvenile and was always behind on return.

Form: 60090-0

Sceitimini⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: R Sweeney| OR: 56

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) in January but showed little returning from 5-month break back on turf at Bellewstown in July. Bit to prove.

Form: 8608-50

(9)

Simmering Seas¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 54

11/4

Shaped much better than the bare result on first outing since leaving Donnacha Aidan O'Brien after 7 months off when sixth of 15 in a handicap at Naas in March, nearly coming down 1f out. Failed to build on that next time, though, and may need longer trips (bred to stay 7f+). Debut for new stable.

Form: 9807-60

(1)

Another Nice'day^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 52| D

13/2

Got off the mark from 6 lb out of the handicap and at the expense of a couple of these in 10-runner contest at Navan in July. Had excuses when below that form last time, very slowly away and unfavourably drawn. Capable of being involved if still in the same form.

Form: 0-00617

(10)

Lady Landhort⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 48

12/1

Winner over 6f at Dundalk in March and posted best effort since when third of 8 there (5f) in April. Not disgraced back on turf last time but still to prove herself as effective as she is on polytrack. Makes debut for new yard.

Form: 0-01835

(2)

Love Bomb^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Megan Telford-Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 48| D

6/1

Made a winning handicap debut at Down Royal on good to soft ground last autumn. Below that level since but took a step back in the right direction when 3¼ lengths fourth of 19 to El Fontenaro in 6f handicap at this course last time. Visor back on.

Form: 708084

Forecasts

Simmering Seas (11/4), Cashel Blue (5/1), Amerilis (11/2), Love Bomb (6/1), Another Nice'day (13/2), Gonna Be Golden (10/1), Kiss Don't Tell (12/1), The Right One (12/1), Lady Landhort (12/1), Lilbittyprettyone (33/1), Sceitimini (33/1), Smart Sioux (66/1)

AMERILIS has been knocking on the door with a couple of runner-up efforts of late and is narrowly selected to go one better. Cashel Blue was just behind the selection last time and rates the chief danger, while Another Nice’day, who beat them both at Navan in July, is respected but must now confirm that form on worse terms.
