9/1

Confirmed earlier promise when winning a 20-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) in June. Cheekpieces on for first time, not best drawn when last of 12 in Fairy Bridge Stakes at Cork (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 01-3010

Mai Dahlia^t⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 86

4/1

Well-bred daughter of Too Darn Hot who improved when landing the odds readily in maiden at Naas (1m) on her third start. Has more on at the weights here, but she's hard to discount on her handicap bow now up and running for excellent yard.

Form: 321

Temperance^b1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 83

33/1

Sole success came in a 6f Naas handicap last spring. Has found things tough in listed races/Group 3 this season and now reverts to handicap company in a change of headgear (blinkers first time).

Form: 58-6077

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 83| C| D

12/1

Recorded back-to-back handicap wins (including here) this summer and wasn't discredited up in grade when staying on for fifth in listed race at Naas. However, has found things tougher in good company since.

Stars Will Shine⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: N Meade| OR: 80| D

9/1

Won 12-runner maiden at Down Royal (7f, good to soft) in September. Below form in a pair of handicaps on good to firm at the Curragh this season. Back from a break and unwise to give up on her.

Form: 315-90

Back Down Under²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: P Roche| OR: 73| D

11/2

Best run this season when fourth of 22 at the Curragh in May. Below that level in 3 runs since (well backed at Navan latest) but handily weighted if back on her A-game.

Form: 9-64504

Bella Colombia⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 72

17/2

Followed up her comfortable Killarney success in 9f Leopardstown handicap this summer. Shaped encouragingly with ninth of 18 back at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago, finishing well having suffered poor run. Sure to go well eased 1 lb.

Never The Same^t⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75

9/1

Improving No Nay Never filly who landed 17-runner maiden at Naas (1m, good) in August. Has more to offer now going into handicaps. Not without interest.

Form: 8-41

(11)

Hugo's Girl^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Thomas Dowling| OR: 71| D

8/1

Finally gained a first win in 9-runner maiden at Laytown (7f) 11 days ago. This consistent sort can make her presence felt again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 74

10/1

Got off the mark in 6f maiden at the Curragh in April. Has posted solid efforts in handicaps last 3 starts, including when third of 14 at Roscommon (7.5f, good) 34 days ago. Enters calculations.

Forecasts

Mai Dahlia (4/1), Back Down Under (11/2), Glory To Be (8/1), Hugo's Girl (8/1), Bella Colombia (17/2), Prevalence (9/1), Never The Same (9/1), Stars Will Shine (9/1), Thenandnow (10/1), Star Strewn (10/1), Treasure Rose (12/1), Noli Timere (12/1), Temperance (33/1)

This looks wide open and it could pay to side with BELLA COLOMBIA to build on the promise of her unlucky-in-running Leopardstown ninth and bag a fourth success of the season. The reliable Hugo's Girl heads the list of dangers on the back of a breakthrough Laytown victory, although the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair Never The Same and Mai Dahlia look to have more to offer and can also play a part.
