Senna's Girl^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: D Dias| OR: 70

7/2

Long-standing maiden who is anything but an easy ride. One of her better efforts when beaten a length in Gowran handicap in June but below form after 3 months off back in maiden company at Punchestown (9f, good) recently. Cheekpieces reapplied.

8/11

Acquitted himself well in maidens this summer, again not quite seeing the 1m trip out when fifth of 13 in maiden at Navan 4 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces go on.

Fan Club²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 67

25/1

Failed to progress in 3 outings for William Haggas in 2024/25. After 15 months off, probably needed the outing when sixth of 9 in maiden at Laytown (7f) just under 3 weeks ago, so this run should reveal more.

Form: 4/57-6

Storzando¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wesley Joyce| T: M Mulvany| OR: 66

7/1

Ran to a decent level when third at Down Royal in July but hasn't come close to reproducing it in 4 subsequent outings.

Tyraxes^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jared Huggan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 64

33/1

Maiden who has been well below par on his last 3 starts, latest minus his usual cheekpieces. Does have bits and pieces of form in the book that would give him a squeak but hard to be confident he can reproduce it.

Fay Og³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Crawford

100/1

Down the field in a trio of maidens on the level for Miss Natalia Lupini and again offered little sent hurdling after 3 months off at Down Royal last month.

Form: 008

Borora Aura^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 47

4/1

Went without equipment for the first time in her career and put up one of her best efforts when third of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (1¼m, good) a fortnight ago. Tongue tie reapplied and wouldn't be sure to reproduce that here.

Forecasts

Elusive Path (8/11), Nautic Star (9/4), Senna's Girl (7/2), Borora Aura (4/1), Donna Time (9/2), Storzando (7/1), Fan Club (25/1), Tyraxes (33/1), Fay Og (100/1), Mr Mercury (200/1)

NAUTIC STAR has been out of the frame just once in her 8 career starts and this looks a good opportunity for Jessica Harrington's filly to get off the mark. Heading up the dangers is Donna Time, who found listed company all too much on just her fourth career start in the summer but can get back on track returning in much calmer waters. Elusive Path and Senna's Girl round off the shortlist.
