Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 97| D

4/1

On long losing run but several good efforts in defeat, including when ¾-length second of 8 to Likedbymike in listed race at Cork last time. Entitled to be thereabouts under decent-value 7 lb claimer.

Thunderbear^p,t1⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 93| CD

17/2

Ran up to his best when successful in 10-runner listed race at Naas (6f, soft) last year. Not in same form this season and market likely to prove the best guide as he starts out for new trainer. Wears first-time tongue strap.

Form: 514-600

Amiata⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 88| CD

4/1

Has gone from strength to strength this year, winning at Naas in April and at the Curragh in June before taking his form up another notch when landing a 9-runner handicap at this course last month by a head from By The Lake. Must be respected.

Form: 514181

Namiid^p⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 82| CD

6/1

Opened his account in C&D maiden in May and has acquitted himself well in handicap company since, latest when close third of 18 to Mary Shoelaces at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 49 days ago, better placed than most. Merits consideration back at this venue.

Form: 4-31423

Allsortz²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 81| D

15/2

Won 6f handicap at Dundalk in April and over 5f at Cork in May. Ran well when 2 lengths fourth of 12 to Dark Ace back at Dundalk last time. Progress needed if he's to resume winning ways here, though.

Form: 313074

Moltophino^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Kinsella| OR: 76

11/4

Turned in best effort of the season when ¾-length second of 10 to Bear on The Run at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Down another 3 lb and looks sure to give another good account back at a venue at which he's run well at in the past.

Form: 0-97992

Gotta Catch'em All^b³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: H Rogers| OR: 74| C

6/1

Has benefited from the drop to sprinting with blinkers fitted, scoring at this course and Naas (both at 6f) in July. Mixed record last 4 outings, though, not at his best when 3¼ lengths fifth of 16 to Cashel Blue over C&D on latest 3 days ago.

Form: 112935

(3)

Dandyville³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Connell| OR: 72

200/1

Useful handicapper at best but form went the wrong way for Stuart Crawford last year and, after 13 months off, hasn't gone with any encouragement on either start this season.

Form: 7000-00

Forecasts

Moltophino (11/4), Amiata (4/1), Erosandpsyche (4/1), Namiid (6/1), Gotta Catch'em All (6/1), Allsortz (15/2), Thunderbear (17/2), Dandyville (200/1)

NAMIID won over this C&D in May and is taken to build on some solid handicap efforts and resume winning ways back at this venue. Moltophino shaped well last time and is feared most from what looks a workable mark, while the thriving Amiata is also respected.
