11/1

18/1, good fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, good) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and very much one to consider off a fair mark.

Form: 550-605

God Knows¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 57| D

28/1

Make The Tide³^{(ex 7)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 53| C

13/8

Much improved to get off the mark in 16-runner handicap here (1m, good) 3 days ago. Saddles a 7 lb penalty but well on top at the finish then so big player stepping up in trip.

Form: 866901

(2)

African Affair¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 57

40/1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 51| D

9/2

Scored at Fairyhouse in June. Very good ½-length second of 13 to Nephin Mountain in handicap here (1m, good) 9 days ago, nearest finish having been forced to switch 2f out. One to be interested in.

10/1

11/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap here (1m, good) 9 days ago by ½ length from Alto Sax. Can go well again despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 051651

(18)

Calamint²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: A Murray| OR: 50

10/1

In good form on the Flat before a never-dangerous fifth in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, good) on jumps debut 28 days ago. Not out of things back in this sphere.

Form: 476-283

(13)

Chloe's Boy^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: H Rogers| OR: 53

7/1

Winner at Killarney (1m) in July. Good second of 16 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 6 days ago, giving the impression this longer trip will suit. Merits serious consideration.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: Sean Davis| OR: 52| D

Forecasts

Make The Tide (13/8), Alto Sax (9/2), Albatala (5/1), Cause I Like You (7/1), Mare Crisium (17/2), Neon Eyes (9/1), Nephin Mountain (10/1), Calamint (10/1), Pallatine Hills (11/1), Giselles Defence (16/1), Haeret In Pectore (25/1), Oh I Do Declare (25/1), Kingcharles (28/1), God Knows (28/1), Wipeawayyourtears (33/1), African Affair (40/1), Jazz Forever (40/1), Bang Po (50/1), Chloe's Boy (50/1), De Songbird (50/1), Churchill Gale (50/1), Miss Ivor (66/1), Katherine (100/1), Capall Cuain (125/1)

MAKE THE TIDE took a big step forward when gaining a first win in some style here on Wednesday and still looks ahead of her mark despite shouldering a 7 lb penalty, with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Cause I Like You heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Cork second, while Nephin Mountain, Alto Sax and Pallatine Hills also need considering in this competitive handicap.
