Eagle Fang^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: W Durkan| OR: 92| CD

3/1

Smart hurdler. Chased home a subsequent winner in Leopardstown maiden before going one better with a bit in hand over C&D. Excellent fourth of 20 in Premier Handicap at Galway last month and he has the scope to do better again on jumps form.

Form: 3/214

Royal Hollow²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 90| CD

28/1

Ran as well as she ever has in this sphere when neck second at Ballinrobe in June but below that level since, including back over hurdles last time. Well-run race and a career best likely needed if she's to feature here.

Form: 2104-26

The Real Screamer²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: P W Flynn| OR: 90

14/1

Has had a productive year, winning at Dundalk and Leopardstown before a creditable third at the Curragh. Left poorly placed at Galway 3 weeks ago but step up in trip probably needs to bring about some improvement off current mark.

Form: 44-1130

Factual Fact⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 89| C

4/1

Done well since switching to handicaps, winning here over 2m1f in May before good second at the Curragh. Something must have been amiss there next time out.

Form: 22-2120

Light Up The Dark²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 89| D

3/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o who returned with a cosy win at Gowran. Hasn't kicked on either start since but she wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last month and she possibly still has a bigger performance in her.

Form: 134-149

(9)

War Rooms^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: G Keane| OR: 89

14/1

Snapped lengthy losing run back in cheekpieces at Ballinrobe last month but he didn't have much in hand that day and looks vulnerable up 6 lb in better race.

Form: 670-801

(3)

Gaoth Chuil²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh| OR: 77| C

12/1

Done well since switching back to the Flat this summer, winning twice, including when comfortably making all here (2m 1f) on handicap bow. However, needs to shrug off a below-par effort at Galway last month.

Form: 7/4-9110

(7)

Luker's Tipple⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 77

6/1

Thriving over jumps in recent weeks and he's potentially well treated if able to transfer that form back to the Flat.

Form: 06/20-7

(13)

Sir Jeremy^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 77

9/1

Responded well to headgear when recording a second win for this yard at Galway 3 weeks ago, doing well to get up having been ridden patiently upped in trip. However, consistency isn't his strong point and it remains to be seen if blinkers have the same effect stepping up in distance again.

Form: 0-71951

(4)

Chutzpal^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 74| CD

16/1

Showed benefit of reappearance when fifth at Fairyhouse and stepped up again when beaten just over 2 lengths at Leopardstown, albeit well placed in a bunch finish.

Form: 312-056

Forecasts

Light Up The Dark (3/1), Eagle Fang (3/1), Factual Fact (4/1), Immutable (9/2), Luker's Tipple (6/1), Sir Jeremy (9/1), Taipan (10/1), Granite Bay (10/1), Gaoth Chuil (12/1), War Rooms (14/1), The Real Screamer (14/1), Chutzpal (16/1), Royal Hollow (28/1)

EAGLE FANG and Immutable both arrive on the back of excellent placed efforts in Premier Handicaps at Galway so they top the shortlist, in that order. Luker's Tipple is potentially on a good mark back in this sphere after his recent exploits over jumps so he's another to consider.
