Golddream^v1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 75| D

6/1

Built on solid debut form to get off the mark in 1m Dundalk maiden in April but hasn't kicked on from that since for all he's had excuses on occasion. First-time visor now reached for in a bid to get him back on track.

Form: 613550

Saga Lucia^t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 75

12/1

Mid-division in trio of maidens, shaping as if better for the run on return last month. Handicaps have clearly been the aim, but the assessor has taken few chances with his opening mark.

Form: 56-6

Casamorati²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 74

5/1

Stepped up markedly on previous efforts when a neck second of 18 to Jp’s Express in a Galway handicap 3 weeks ago. He is up 4 lb for that performance, but a repeat would put him firmly in the mix here.

Form: 68982

Glitter And Glory^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 74

9/2

Made full use of her experience to get off the mark in Dundalk maiden (7f) in March. Has held form in handicaps since, but down the field when racing from out of the weights at the Curragh on last 2 starts. Will be suited by the return to 0-75 company.

Chapel Lane⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery| OR: 72

9/2

Not yet fully exposed and took another step forward when 1½ lengths third of 10 to Watch Tower in extended 7f handicap at Leopardstown last month. Visor now removed.

Form: 373-673

Sweet Baby Zou^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 70

8/1

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Gowran (9.5f, good) in June and took step back in right direction when 3¾ lengths sixth of 18 to Jp's Express at Galway, likely to have finished significantly closer with a clearer run. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlisted.

Only One Scobie²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: P W Flynn| OR: 68| D

50/1

Made all when easily winning a 1m Leopardstown handicap in June and backed that up despite doing too much too soon when 2¾ lengths third of 12 to Meriden there a week later. Not so good reverting to more patient tactics on last 2 starts, however.

Chirac³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 64| BF

7/2

Justified support at Gowran in April and got back on the up behind an improver in a 1m Cork handicap in June. Wasn't in quite the same form when fourth over C&D last month, but his profile remains a largely positive one and useful claimer takes off a handy 5 lb.

Sancerre Rock^p1,t1⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 63

8/1

Showed fair form when mid-field in a maiden at Limerick on debut but has failed to build on that since, including on handicap debut last time.

Forecasts

Chirac (7/2), Chapel Lane (9/2), Glitter And Glory (9/2), Casamorati (5/1), Golddream (6/1), Sweet Baby Zou (8/1), Sancerre Rock (8/1), Saga Lucia (12/1), John La Bear (25/1), Only One Scobie (50/1)

SWEET BABY ZOU would probably have resumed her progression granted a clearer run at Galway last time and is taken to gain compensation here. Chirac lacked a change of gear last time, but he had won over 7f and finished runner-up over this trip at Cork prior to that, so he rates the chief danger. Casamorati left previous efforts well behind when a close second at Galway 21 days ago and is respected despite a 4 lb rise.
