10/3

Posted a smart performance when bolting up from the front over 6f at Naas in April and landed another win there in 5f conditions race last month, both under Billy Lee. Respectable 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Suzie Songs in listed race (7/1) at Cork (7f, good) 8 days ago. Claims.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 87| D

14/1

Shaped encouragingly in a strong C&D maiden on debut last spring before landing the odds when comfortably making all at Dundalk in the summer. Has shown plenty of speed and she's open to further progress despite being off the track nearly a full year.

66/1

22/1, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when below-form sixth of 12 in claimer at Gowran (7f, good) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Keke (10/3), Gavoo (7/2), Moltophino (9/2), Chicago Pope (5/1), Genesis (11/2), Gotta Catch'em All (11/2), Go Athletico (6/1), Jon Riggens (10/1), Bear On The Run (14/1), Finika (33/1), Howd'yadoit (50/1), Rock Iguana (66/1)

GENESIS has a fine record in sprint handicaps here this year and might be able to land another win. Chicago Pope was fourth in a very warm 3-y-o-only race at York when last seen in June and heads the many dangers along with fellow 3-y-o Gavoo and Eddie Lynam's Keke.
