Slieve Binnian²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 81| CD

2/1

Four-time course winner who confirmed his return to form when close fourth over C&D last month. Found the Irish Cambridgeshire too competitive next time but he rates a big player back in these much calmer waters.

Form: 069740

Flame Of Forest¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini| OR: 80

33/1

Winner on second start for Karl Burke last year and good runner-up efforts to end the campaign (handicap debut final outing). Down the field both starts for this yard in early summer, though.

Form: 122-007

Nakasero^p1,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 77| C

18/1

Had eased in the weights and having attracted support, bounced back to best when head second at Naas early last month. Not in same form back here last week, though. Headgear now applied.

Form: 288927

Lough Leane^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: Maurice Ahern| OR: 76| BF| D

10/1

Won at Ballinrobe in May but turned in best effort for some time when scoring at Down Royal early this month. Excellent second off 10 lb higher at Clonmel 9 days ago, though was readily brushed aside by the winner.

Form: 106412

Steel Cut^b⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver| OR: 76

16/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth on handicap bow at Navan but well held both starts since.

Form: 9-25480

Walhaan¹¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Caffrey| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 73| CD

66/1

Four-time C&D winner who struggled back on turf when last seen earlier this year. Last win came over C&D last December off 7 lb higher but this 10-y-o is likely to need this.

Form: 1-43800

Camino Lad^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 78

5/1

Had looked a bit wayward under pressure but responded well to headgear when off the mark in Bellewstown maiden last month. First 2 pulled clear that day and he remains unexposed ahead of his handicap debut, with the return to further likely to suit.

Form: 3241

Tribal Moon^b,t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 72| C

80/1

Ended 2025 in good form on all-weather but not firing on all cylinders over hurdles in recent months. Blinkers back on.

Form: 40332-0

Hamiyan^p⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 75

10/1

Maiden who got back on track in first-time headgear when a staying on fourth at Leopardstown. Failed to get involved at Naas since but worth another chance kept to this trip on all-weather bow.

Form: 234-040

(7)

Handshake^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75| C

10/1

Held an Irish Derby entry when making a winning start in a 14-runner maiden (6/4) here (1m) in January. However, well beaten in decent events after 6 months off so something to prove now handicapping.

Form: 145

Quatre Bras⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: R O'Brien| OR: 69| CD

9/2

Has largely struggled this summer but has come down the handicap as a result. Undoubtedly well treated now so worth a second look returned to his favoured surface.

Form: 844657

(11)

Sakoku^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 75

11/2

Best effort in maidens when second of 21 at Navan 3 weeks ago, though proved no match for the useful winner. Opening mark demands more and probably wants a stiffer test to reach full potential.

Form: 9252

Cozone^t¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 67| C

100/1

In good form over hurdles this summer, winning at Downpatrick in June. Made little impact on his belated return to the Flat 3 weeks ago but back to best over hurdles when fourth in handicap at Listowel (2½m, good) on Thursday.

Form: 00086/8

Chosen One^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 68

33/1

Maiden who ran up to her best when fourth to Lough Leane on handicap bow at Down Royal 3 weeks ago. Beaten 6¾ lengths that day but she's 12 lb better off with the winner now.

Form: 0-56284

Forecasts

Slieve Binnian (2/1), Quatre Bras (9/2), Camino Lad (5/1), Rock Of Claremont (5/1), Sakoku (11/2), Handshake (10/1), Lough Leane (10/1), Hamiyan (10/1), Steel Cut (16/1), Nakasero (18/1), Tyraxes (25/1), Chosen One (33/1), Flame Of Forest (33/1), Trumph (50/1), Walhaan (66/1), Tribal Moon (80/1), Cozone (100/1)

SLIEVE BINNIAN is well worth another chance back in much calmer waters off a reduced mark. The 3-y-os may offer most resistance, notably Hamiyan and Camino Lad.
