Makaiah²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 60| C

10/1

Course winner. Ended last season out of form but returned with a runner-up effort at Roscommon in May. Beaten just 3 lengths when seventh of 9 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 640-207

Miss Crinshawn³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Coen| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 60

9/1

Still to get her head in front but in frame first 5 starts this season and went close in extended 1¼m Cork handicap in May. Bit below that form on last 2 outings, but by no means disgraced and this represents a drop in class. Has to be taken seriously back up markedly in trip.

Form: 342437

Miss Australie¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 59

16/1

Successful at Roscommon in May. Ran her best race since, though without seriously threatening, when sixth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Tramore (1½m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 610856

Stepdance¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 59| BF

12/1

Won all 3 starts in this sphere last year. Ran best race on the Flat this season when making the frame at Tramore 12 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights.

Form: 111-904

Cala Gracioneta⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 58

12/1

Fair maiden. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Tramore (2m, good, 6/1) in July, doing best work late on. Each-way claims back down in trip.

Form: 00-0285

Kevin The Great^t⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 58

12/1

Best effort this season when fourth at Navan in June on first start for this yard. Below form both starts since and needs to bounce back returned to this longer trip.

Form: 6-60490

Ms Messi²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR: 57

8/1

Lost her way at the end of 2025 but returned with an encouraging third at Gowran earlier this month after 9 months off. Merits consideration.

Form: 91980-3

Desert Friend^t³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 55| D

33/1

Snapped a losing run at Dundalk in March and went in again at Sligo (1¾m, good to soft) in May. Exploits have proved mixed subsequently, below his best when fourth at Ballinrobe in July prior to finishing well held over hurdles at Galway a week later. Others more persuasive.

Form: 919044

Jazz Forever⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Lee| T: P W Flynn| OR: 55

22/1

Third behind a subsequent winner at Navan in early-June but has finished well held both starts since, latest with cheekpieces refitted. Steps back up in trip with the headgear discarded and needs a return to form.

Form: 0-48300

(21)

Anightaway^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Davis| OR: 54

11/2

Attracted some support upped in trip and showed first form when winning at Sligo 3 weeks ago after 4 months off, seemingly responding well to the greater test and first-time tongue strap. Up 6 lb for that success.

Form: 000-081

(22)

Arcland^b²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 54| C

10/1

Had some strong form last year on Flat and improved over hurdles since, winning at Killarney in July before a mid-field finish at Galway 26 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 12220-0

Macinamillion¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mel Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hurley| OR: 53

80/1

Fairly useful chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last summer. Faced inadequate test on first run for new yard when tailed-off last in claimer at Gowran 15 days ago. Should do better over this longer trip with that run under his belt.

Form: 7310/0-0

(16)

Deluca Chop^v²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 51| C

14/1

Secured back-to-back successes round here and at Down Royal in June. Seemed undone by a further rise in the weights when 4¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Anightaway in handicap at Sligo (13.3f, good to soft, 13/2) 22 days ago.

Form: 332115

(3)

Maxwell Smart^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt| OR: 51

14/1

Has only the one win from 28 Flat runs but was a good 1½ lengths third of 14 to Anightaway in handicap (18/1) at Sligo (13.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago having been left with a lot to do.The cheekpieces go back on and he looks competitive on form.

Form: 396583

Without Love^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: Cian Hughes| OR: 51| BF

7/2

Winner at Dundalk in January and was runner-up in back-to-back handicaps at Bellewstown and Limerick last month. Failed to justify support when only sixth of 14 at Sligo earlier this month. Visor back on.

Form: 340226

Mystic Rose²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 50

20/1

Modest maiden. Third at Dundalk in July but ran poorly back on turf at Sligo last time. Headgear and tongue strap discarded. Each-way claims at best.

Form: 075530

Folk Warrior¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J Nash| OR: 43| BF

22/1

Good fifth on seasonal reappearance but hasn't really kicked on since, including over hurdles last 2 outings. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 0/0-5475

(18)

Highway Sixty One¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jared Huggan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Young| OR: 43

40/1

Long-standing maiden who's made the frame twice this season. Was too free when well held at Tramore 12 days ago. Can bounce back with the headgear and tongue strap discarded.

Form: 7-45200

(12)

Miners Cabin^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Leigh Roche| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 42

40/1

Has made little impact to date and needs improvement with first-time cheekpieces added.

Form: 000079

Share The Treasure¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: T Hogan| OR: 40| CD

20/1

Sole success came in this last year and has dropped in the weights but her overall record is far from the most reliable. Returns after a nearly 4-month absence.

Form: 07609-5

Phidias Ovation^p,h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: P C O'Donnell| OR: 51

Looks limited on what we've seen so far and makes little appeal. RESERVE.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Fahy| OR: 40

MISS CRINSHAWN looks interesting returned to a basement-grade handicap and is taken to get off the mark stepping back up in trip. Arcland made a good start for this yard last year and is entitled to be thereabouts, while Stepdance is another to consider from a falling mark.
