Gibney's Of Gormanstown Handicap

Opened his account in 5f Navan maiden in May and acquitted himself well in handicap company since, latest when respectable third of 18 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 38 days ago, better placed than most. Merits consideration.

Dual scorer at Dundalk (both 5f) earlier this year who was returning from 6 months off when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for the shortlist.

Back to winning ways at Dundalk in May and largely acquitted himself well since, latest when fifth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 16/1) 10 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again.

Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Naas (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Others look better treated, though.

All 3 career victories over 6f, the latest at the Curragh in March. Form has been mixed since but boasts a decent record at this track and has dropped to a handy mark.

Recorded his third win from 4 starts at Dundalk in March but below par next 3 outings and still has to prove he's as effective on turf.

C&D winner who has returned to form of late and got back on the scoreboard when taking 11-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, good, 4/1) 9 days ago, comfortably. 4 lb rise fair and looks sure to go well again.

Navan maiden winner in September but merely ticking over in handicaps this season. Something to find on form.

Improved model this year, winning handicaps over this trip at Navan in June and Bellewstown in July. Needs to bounce back from a poor run behind Harry's Hill at the Curragh last time, though.

Not seen to best effect behind Happy Henry at Navan in June and has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper. Not discounted.

Made a winning handicap debut at Dundalk in March and backed that up with good in-frame efforts next 2 starts. Disappointed at Down Royal latest but remains low mileage.
