Teagarden Jazz^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Gilligan| T: Charlie Keegan| OR: 91

12/1

Still looking for a breakthrough success. However, after 3 months off she ran better than for a while when third of 14 in mares handicap at this course 3 weeks ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark if able to build on latest effort.

Form: 6/80P-03

Cool Summer^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Phillip Enright| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 89

3/1

Got back on track making second handicap start when runner-up at Roscommon last month. Again ran well when filling the same position in 15-runner contest at Ballinrobe 18 days ago and she can make her presence felt.

Form: 806-622

Barrogstown Girl²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 88| BF

15/2

Showed much improved form making handicap debut in this sphere when runner-up at Kilbeggan (19f) last month, albeit better placed than most. Raced freely and failed to back that up when well held at this course (2½m) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 06-820

Bella Union^p⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 87| D

11/1

Made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Downpatrick in May and then runner-up here the following month. However, found run of good form coming to a halt when pulled up at this course last month, shaping as if possibly amiss. Bounce back called for.

Form: 901-12P

The Toothpicker^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: D Budds| OR: 87

10/3

Without a win but after 4 months off he ran well when third of 15 at Ballinrobe 18 days ago, despite meeting trouble in running. On a handy mark so he's not ruled out with recent run behind him.

Form: 00555-3

Ballinearla Girl^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle| OR: 84

8/1

Ended last season with a couple of decent efforts, before possibly needing the run after 12 weeks off when well beaten in mares handicap at Cork (2½m, good) in July. Could go well with any rain promising to be in her favour.

Form: 00735-9

Kinski^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Donovan| T: J P Broderick| OR: 83

10/1

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles for Patrick G. Kelly in 2024 and ran out sole start in points earlier this year. Showed more on handicap/stable debut when seventh of 13 at Kilbeggan 20 days ago, though further progress required.

Form: 0709/R-7

Owl's Delight¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: R Deegan| T: R Donohoe| OR: 81

50/1

Only minor promise in maiden hurdles for A. McIntyre and failed to come on for seasonal/stable debut effort when well held in handicap at Tramore 12 days ago.

Form: 9F8P-60

Monty's Way^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: G Stanley| OR: 80| D

22/1

Caused a 40/1 surprise at Ballinrobe in spring 2024. His form has gone the wrong way since, though, again finishing well held at Kilbeggan (19f) 7 weeks ago.

Form: 0/6P0-00

Another Blunder²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Michael Barry| OR: 75

50/1

Offered little in first 4 starts over hurdles and it was a similar story on handicap debut, finishing tenth of 16 at Cork 25 days ago.

Form: 0-00680

At The Wings^h,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane O'Callaghan⁽³⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 74

12/1

Fair form at best in bumpers but well below that level over hurdles, going backwards from his reappearance effort when down the field in handicap at Ballinrobe 5 weeks ago.

Form: 0000-77

Nukie's Artic^t¹³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 82

Forecasts

Room For One More (9/4), Game Phoenix (4/1), Cool Summer (9/2), The Toothpicker (5/1), Tingarran Express (13/2), Teagarden Jazz (10/1), Sidiriya (12/1), Barrogstown Girl (14/1), Ballinearla Girl (16/1), Nukie's Artic (16/1), At The Wings (16/1), Bella Union (16/1), Phoenix Cowboy (16/1), Kinski (25/1), Monty's Way (33/1), Another Blunder (50/1), Owl's Delight (50/1)

ROOM FOR ONE MORE took a big step forward when runner-up at Tramore on her latest outing, pulling clear of the rest, and she can build on that effort as she goes handicapping. She gets the vote ahead of Game Phoenix, who showed improved form on her handicap debut last time, with Cool Summer also considered.
