11/1

Best effort when runner-up in mares handicap at Naas (2m) in March. Below-par effort next time but got back on track when fourth of 15 at Sligo (2¼m) in May. Needs to pick up where she left off after 4-month break.

Colesberg⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Flavin| OR: 95

6/1

Some promise in maidens and took a step forward after 3 months off when third of 14 on handicap debut at Tramore 6 weeks ago. Could be in the mix with better still to come.

Form: 996-73

Cool Summer^h³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 95

3/1

Has been going the right way in handicaps this season, opening account in 12-runner contest at Wexford a month ago. Form from last time has been boosted since and she can make a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 06-6221

Eyetrap^t1²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 95

6/1

Fairly useful winner on the Flat when trained in England. Has offered a bit of encouragement in 3 maiden hurdles for present stable, sixth of 14 at Punchestown in January. Absent 8 months since ahead of handicap hurdle debut. Tongue strap applied.

Patty O'Farrell^t⁸⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: P Maher| OR: 95| D

20/1

Proved at least as good as ever when runner-up in mares handicap at Listowel in June. However, she isn't the easiest to catch right and was in the progress of running poorly when falling 2 out here the following month.

Form: 0679-2F

Inver Bay^h²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Simon Torrens| T: A A Howard| OR: 94

50/1

Has had 3 starts in maiden hurdles for this yard, showing a bit more than on stable debut when fifth of 11 at Kilbeggan in July. Made no impression at the same course 25 days ago, but she could yet do better now handicapping.

Form: 700-559

Dalmatic^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Philip Byrnes| T: W J O'Doherty| OR: 92

20/1

Finally off the mark in handicap at Limerick (21f) in December. Bounced back from a lesser effort with 2 in-frame efforts this spring, fourth of 16 at Kilbeggan (25f) in April when last seen. Trip might be on the sharp side after 5 months off. Switches back to cheekpieces.

Our Girl Ellie^t1¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Slevin| T: S Ryan| OR: 92

18/1

Placed twice in mares maidens last season, before seeming stretched by the step up to 2½m when mid-field on handicap debut at Thurles in October. However, after 7 months off she ran poorly back in maiden company at Clonmel in May. Tongue strap applied with hood left off.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 89

10/1

Stepped forward from reappearance run when second in 19f handicap at Clonmel in June. Below form both starts since, though, seeming set to drop away when falling 2 out at Downpatrick (2¾m) 7 weeks ago. Drop back in trip might not be in his favour.

Form: 0P-926F

Grennanstown Lady⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 86

33/1

Has yet to offer much over hurdles/on the Flat, always behind running on the level when last of 14 in maiden at this venue (1½m) in June. Back over hurdles after 3 months off.

Form: 954-0

Nukie's Artic^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 82

16/1

Fitted with tongue strap, fared better than previously on second handicap start when sixth of 15 at Clonmel in April. He failed to complete after 5 months off, though, jinking and unseating at the fourth at Wexford a month ago.

Form: P0/086-U

Patrick Street^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Daniel King| T: A Kinirons| OR: 82

4/1

Ran well over hurdles when third of 18 in handicap at Punchestown in May, but was let down by his jumping at Kilbeggan in July. Has made the frame back on the Flat last 2 starts, running well when third of 14 at Punchestown (9f) 13 days ago.

Form: 960-365

Grace's Legacy³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 82

25/1

Wasn't ideally positioned with cheekpieces on for first time when seventh of 15 at Sligo in May. However, didn't get very far at Bellewstown last month, unseating at the first.

Form: 0950-7U

Another Blunder³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Michael Barry| OR: 75

16/1

Making only her second handicap start, showed her first form under a more positive ride when 5 lengths fourth of 12 to Cool Summer at Wexford a month ago. Merits consideration on the back of her latest run.

Form: 006804

Atlantic Wonder^t¹⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr J Costello⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 75

Forecasts

Cool Summer (3/1), Colin's Friend (7/2), Patrick Street (4/1), Colesberg (6/1), Eyetrap (6/1), Speakasyoufind (10/1), Classy Cc (11/1), Avandra (12/1), Nukie's Artic (16/1), Another Blunder (16/1), Our Girl Ellie (18/1), Dalmatic (20/1), Patty O'Farrell (20/1), Grace's Legacy (25/1), Atlantic Wonder (28/1), Grennanstown Lady (33/1), Inver Bay (50/1), Kome Dans Un Reve (66/1), Arctic Piper (100/1)

Preference is for COOL SUMMER, who has seen the form of her success at Wexford boosted by the fifth winning next time. She can continue her progress to score again, though Colesberg is also open to further improvement after his third on handicap debut at Tramore. Another Blunder completes the shortlist.
