14/1

Lightly raced but useful at best for Charlie Appleby. Picked up for £64,000 by this yard but hasn't shown much in 2 runs for them.

Hellorhighwater⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Coen| T: N Lupini| OR: 86| D

10/3

Progressive form in maidens for Gavin Cromwell last season, getting off the mark at Cork. Successful return for new stable at Limerick in April and this is easier than the Irish Cambridgeshire he contested on his only start since. Makes all-weather debut.

Form: 221-10

Sonoran^t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Robert Whearty| T: G M Lyons| OR: 83| D

9/1

Career best when winning at Navan 5 weeks ago. 4 lb rise looks perfectly fair and he's effective on all-weather.

Form: 369951

Bishopton⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Kian McNally⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 81| C

5/1

Returned from 4 months off with success here (7f) in March. Mixed record on turf since but he's lurking on a dangerous mark returned to this surface after a break.

Form: 2-10565

Daler^p,t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Ryan| T: G M Lyons| OR: 81| CD

10/1

Wide-margin winner over C&D around this time last year and responded well to headgear when doubling his tally at Leopardstown in June. Held form well since so player once again.

Exquisite Acclaim^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 81| CD

16/1

Resumed winning ways here (7f) in January off 1 lb higher but it's been a mixed bag since, tried in this headgear/tongue strap combination last time.

Form: 604634

Naoi¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 78

14/1

Much improved for new yard this season after over a year off, winning 2 of her 3 starts, including when beating 17 rivals in good style at Fairyhouse 18 days ago. Remains unexposed (unraced on all-weather) so a must for the shortlist.

Form: 338-191

Alissam^t1²⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 80| C

20/1

Made a winning debut over 7f here last November before showing better form in defeat next 2 starts the following month. Off since and tongue strap applied for this handicap debut. Market can guide.

Form: 133-

Temperance^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 77

25/1

Highly tried after winning Naas handicap in May last year. Made much more of an impact returned to a more suitable level when third of 5 here (7f) last week.

Form: 077873

Ohailbhic⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 76| CD

12/1

In good heart when winning back-to-back over C&D in March. Below par both starts on turf this summer but he seems more at home here.

Form: 831176

(10)

Star Strewn^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 79| C| D

20/1

Struggled for consistency with previous trainer but won an 18-runner handicap at Cork (40/1) 30 days ago on second start back with this yard, proving herself at the trip under a positive ride. Up 5 lb in much better race, though.

Form: 3-18971

(17)

Glyndwr^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 75| CD

25/1

Dual C&D winner in this headgear last autumn. In good form this summer but last 2 starts were poor. Cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 753467

Golddream⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 76| CD

3/1

Built on solid debut form to get off the mark in C&D maiden in April but hasn't kicked on from that since for all he's had excuses on occasion, tried in headgear latest.

Forecasts

Golddream (3/1), Hellorhighwater (10/3), Bishopton (5/1), Sonoran (9/1), Daler (10/1), Ohailbhic (12/1), Naoi (14/1), Bold Style (14/1), Booyea (14/1), Exquisite Acclaim (16/1), Gavoo (16/1), Venetian (16/1), Alissam (20/1), Star Strewn (20/1), Temperance (25/1), Glyndwr (25/1), Brewing (33/1)

BOOYEA needs to shrug off a couple of poor efforts but he was fourth off 7 lb higher in the Irish Cambridgeshire only 3 starts back and he's back down in class. Unexposed 4-y-os Naoi and Hellorhighwater head the dangers.
