Shemiyka^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Davis| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 72| BF

25/1

Showed improved form when 3½ lengths third of 16 to Stellar Moment in maiden at Galway (1½m, soft) on return in July. Fourth in Sligo claimer just 5 days later though looked unsuited by the drop in trip. Not out of things now granted more of a test.

Form: 95-34

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 87

4/6

Runner-up first 2 starts in the spring, form of which worked out well. 5/4, again found only one too good when 1¾ lengths behind Magnum Cor in maiden at this course 13 days ago after 3 months off. Sets the standard.

Form: 222

66/1

Gleneagles gelding who was at long odds for debut but he ran to a fair level when sixth of 17 in a Fairyhouse maiden (1½m) in June, plugging on. Tongue strap goes on.

22/1

€13,000 yearling, Waldgeist gelding. 22/1, showed ability when sixth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip and should have more to offer.

28/1

Toronado gelding. Half-brother to smart 13f-2m winner Carmers. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Lord Shanakill. Just like his half-brother, he's blinkered on debut.

Cosmetic^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 81| BF

4/1

Was gradually progressing with her best effort being a second-placed finish in a Fairyhouse maiden at the beginning of July. Failed to back that up when only a respectable fourth at Galway (1½m, soft) later in the month. Looks exposed but it would be no surprise if she gets back on the up.

Form: 97-5524

Forecasts

Almazann (4/6), Cosmetic (4/1), I Hope You Dance (6/1), Miss Romagna (7/1), Mawhibah (15/2), Michinaga (14/1), Shambata (18/1), Kigalienne (20/1), Plug In Hybrid (22/1), Shemiyka (25/1), Purple Bandit (28/1), Gentle Soda (50/1), Nemorino (66/1), Coolnagrattan (66/1), Four Ball (66/1), Metallic (66/1), Daily Wonder (200/1), Nothingbutadream (250/1), Nugentstown Sue (250/1)

ALMAZANN stands out on form and is the clear pick to open his account. Plug In Hybrid showed potential on debut and is of interest over this longer trip, while Mawhibah and Miss Romagna appeal most of the remainder.
