11/2

Turned in best effort of the season when ½-length third of 27 to Clonmacash in 6f handicap at the Curragh last time. On a good mark if able to build on that performance.

Rosato^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Foley| T: C Weld| OR: 59| BF| C

13/2

Ran well fitted with first-time cheekpieces when second of 27 in handicap at the Curragh last month. Wasn't in the same form at same track 7 days later, but has now dropped below her last winning mark and must be considered having twice won at this course in the past.

Surpass And Shine²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Scott McCullagh| T: P J Flynn| OR: 59| D

40/1

Successful twice over 5f last year, but has gone with little encouragement since, including on both outings this year. Has been given a chance by the handicapper and drops significantly in grade here, so any market support should be noted.

Form: 9100-00

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 58| D

12/1

Yet to properly fire this year, though wasn't seen to best effect when 4¾ lengths ninth of 21 to Happy Henry at Navan last time. Visor back on.

Lethimfly⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 57| D

20/1

Showed plenty of ability remains when a good second on return at Dundalk in March. Has been decidedly below that level all 4 outings since, though, including on debut for current yard.

Simmering Seas^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 58

6/1

In frame last 3 starts, producing best effort when 1¼ lengths second of 19 to Apothic Red at the Curragh on latest. Entitled to be firmly in the mix again.

Steel Magnolia^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 55| D

5/1

Proved better than ever when winning 5f handicap at Naas in August by 3¾ lengths from Whatswrongnow. A 10 lb rise makes life tougher, though.

One Cool Bear^v⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 55

66/1

Made a promising start to the turf season at Naas but no encouragement to be gleaned from any of his last 3 starts.

Glen Breeze^p,t⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 51

25/1

Confirmed previous promise without looking the easiest ride when winning 14-runner handicap at Limerick (7f, good to firm) in July. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when 4 lengths ninth of 14 to Phoenix Pairc at Roscommon last time. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 031659

Caffu Zafeen⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: P W Flynn| OR: 49

22/1

Maiden who didn't really fire in Britain for David Simcock last year and has made little impact in 5 starts for current yard despite tumbling in the weights.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Diego Lima| T: D Dias| OR: 48

Made all in similar company at Fairyhouse (6f) in July. Not in same heart both starts since, slowly into stride at Down Royal latest.

Step Back In Time^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: C Timmons| OR: 43| CD

14/1

Successful 4 times at Navan, including 3 times in 2025. Best effort this year when 1¼ lengths third of 15 to Dandy Land at Naas last month. Failed to back that up at same course last time but must be respected back at this venue off career-low mark.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 40| BF

40/1

Long-standing maiden who posted some respectable efforts earlier in the summer but seemed unsuited by the drop back to this trip at Naas last time.

ROSATO wasn't at her best last time but has twice gone close off similar marks already this season and, with 2 successes at this course to her name, she looks worth chancing to come good in an open sprint. Irish Rumour arrives on the back of an encouraging effort and looks the biggest danger from a handy mark, whilst both course-specialist Step Back In Time and the in-form Simmering Seas are also feared.
