Tasleet gelding who showed little when eleventh of 18 in maiden at Cork (1m, soft) on debut just over 2 weeks ago. Will make little appeal this side of handicaps.

Saint Acclaim⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

3/1

St Mark's Basilica gelding who attracted support but was always behind having missed the break at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) on debut 3 months ago. Hood worn that day discarded and clearly thought capable of better.

White Smoke⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 57

9/1

Runner-up in pair of Curragh maidens this time last year. Still some way off her best but ran better than for a while when 6¼ lengths fourth of 12 at this track (5f) just under 6 weeks ago. Place claims if she can build on that.

Form: 4-90474

Beach Barbie²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: James Ryan| T: E Lynam| OR: 61

11/1

Bits and pieces of promise in maidens but struggled from what was a stiff-looking mark on turf/handicap debut at Navan (5f, good) earlier in the month.

250/1

Showed nothing when last of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (10.5f) on debut back in June. Significantly down in trip and tongue strap replaces a hood.

Aughlish⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Connell| OR: 65

16/1

Reached the frame in 3 sprint maidens here earlier in the year. Not so good on last 3 starts, proving too free in first-time blinkers at Down Royal (5f, soft) back in June. Bounced back needed but may do so returned to this venue.

Form: 332577

Willofthepeople^p,t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 66

4/1

Promising fourth on 5f debut last June but performed below that level in 2 subsequent starts in 2025. probably needed the run in first-time tongue strap after 11 months off when fifth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (1m, good to soft) last month. Back down in trip.

Form: 408-5

All Hail^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: A Oliver| OR: 62

7/2

Maiden who got going too late at Leopardstown last month. Failed to build on that promise upped to 1m at Cork earlier in the month and his wait for a first success looks set to continue.

In The Gloaming²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse| T: A Oliver| OR: 63

4/1

Took a step back in the right direction without looking suited by the drop back in trip when sixth of 12 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good) 3 weeks ago. Makes all-weather debut with the return to 6f promising to suit.

Form: 0-55606

Whatsin The Stars^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

200/1

Starman filly who is still to even hint at ability in 4 starts and looks booked for another struggle on all-weather debut.

Forecasts

Saint Acclaim (3/1), All Hail (7/2), In The Gloaming (4/1), Willofthepeople (4/1), White Smoke (9/1), Beach Barbie (11/1), Hallelujah Rose (11/1), Optics (12/1), Raven's Call (12/1), Aughlish (16/1), Cleopatra Dream (20/1), San Giulio (40/1), Betsy Trotwood (40/1), Tudor Flame (80/1), Sarfarcat (100/1), Whatsin The Stars (200/1), Anaverna (250/1)

A wide-open claiming maiden in which preference is for WILLOFTHEPEOPLE, who probably needed the run in a first-time tongue strap after 11 months off when fifth at Bellewstown recently and Ger Lyons' 3-y-o drops back down to a sprint trip. The return to 6f should suit In The Gloaming, so he's put forward as the main threat on all-weather debut, with Aughlish and Saint Acclaim taken to fight out third.
