El Fontenaro⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 57| CD

9/1

Had twice gone close before finally opening her account in C&D handicap 10 weeks ago. That form is solid for the grade and she can go well again after a 4 lb rise.

Form: 6-40221

16/1

Doubled his tally in 5f handicap here in May and back from a break after lesser efforts the last twice. Unproven beyond the minimum trip.

Form: 221067

Carrigans Grove⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 56| D

9/1

Much improved in 2025, winning 3 times, but has underachieved this season. On a good mark if reviving.

Form: 840070

Simmering Seas^p,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 58

7/1

Yet to win but shaping up nicely for new yard, in the frame again at Navan (5f) last time. Tongue tie back on and one to note.

Form: 602424

Three Sixteen^h¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: A McIntyre| OR: 56

100/1

Little form, well beaten again on handicap debut at Navan when last seen in June.

Form: 050-60

(11)

Brains^b,t⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 54

6/1

Losing run is mounting up but placed again with blinkers back on when third at Listowel (7f) last week.

Form: 575633

Surpass And Shine²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Scott McCullagh| T: P J Flynn| OR: 54

33/1

Successful twice over 5f last year, but little encouragement since latest win. Has been given a big chance by the handicapper and has gone well here in the past.

Form: 100-000

(5)

Cash On Black²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 55

66/1

Little impact in 3 races at Dundalk. Makes handicap/turf debut back from 8 months off.

Form: 6-00

Verified^b,t1⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: G Keane| OR: 52

9/2

Long-standing maiden handicapper who was a good second at Down Royal (5f) in June and can have his next run at Navan overlooked (short of room approaching final 1f and eased off). Placed on 3 of his 4 visits to Cork and interesting in refitted headgear back from a break off career-low mark.

Form: 9-00020

(8)

Pansy Poe^t³⁷

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

40/1

Maiden who left E. J. O'Neill cheaply and shaped as if better for the run back from 11 months off at Naas. Could build on that and not had much racing in handicaps.

Form: 70960-0

Aboveheronlysky¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 50

25/1

Third in a strong Navan maiden on sole start at 2 yrs, but having missed all of her 3-y-o season she hasn't progressed. Down in class back from 5 months off.

Form: 3/990

(20)

Akashaa^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Kian McNally⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 43

13/2

Yet to win but ran well on her first start in a sprint handicap when third at Laytown (6f) earlier this month. Not out of it if building on that.

Form: 26-6683

Linger For Longer^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Lee| T: A Leahy| OR: 43| CD

22/1

C&D winner in 2023 but lightly raced this year and ran poorly back from 3 months off here recently. Drops back to a sprint trip now.

Form: 60-0400

(15)

Sceitimini^b1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J M Sheridan| T: R Sweeney| OR: 45

9/1

Ran well in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 16 in 1m handicap here last month, albeit not fully convincing with his stamina for the longer trip. Didn't look the easiest of rides at Listowel (7f) since, however. Stronger headgear goes on.

Form: 8-50057

(4)

Alandownunder^p1⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 44

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't improved in handicaps this year, including tried in blinkers. Cheekpieces go on now.

Form: 89-0990

(10)

Bright Image^t¹⁰²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: C P Donoghue| OR: 40| BF

18/1

Remains a maiden and failed to build on a couple of better efforts when down the field at Limerick (1m) when last seen 3 months ago, a gamble on him going west.

Form: 45/0440

(19)

Hastily¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom McGuinness| OR: 40| CD

25/1

Won C&D handicap last season and having been in a slump since, offered a bit more back here in July in refitted headgear. Best not judged on subsequent Clonmel run over much further (headway when badly hampered entering final 1f, not recover).

Form: 9-00090

(18)

Run Forrest Run^b⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Laura Hourigan| OR: 40| CD

16/1

Won this in 2023 and 2024 for different trainers but looks to have lost his way.

Form: 680-780

(17)

Sand Art⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 42| D

15/2

Blinkered for the first time when getting off the mark in 6f handicap at Sligo in August. That form was franked but he wasn't in the same mood in cheekpieces at Listowel last week. No headgear on this time.

VERIFIED has gone close off higher marks, including at this track, and is chanced in the hope it can all come together back from a break in refitted headgear. El Fontenaro, Simmering Seas and last year's winner Ukiyo are all in the picture too.
