18/1

Left debut form behind when winning 6f maiden at Fairyhouse last spring. Little impact in 2 handicaps since, though, returning from 13 months off when thirteenth of 17 at the Curragh (7f) in June. This should reveal more with tongue strap added after further 3 months off.

Form: 518-0

She's Too Kool²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 79

10/1

Didn't need to improve to open her account at the tenth time of asking in 4-runner novice at Chester last month. Ran well back in a handicap when fourth of 11 at Listowel 20 days ago, though has something to find from her current mark.

Breaking Dawn^p¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 77

28/1

Showed improved form fitted with cheekpieces when justifying support in 16-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f) on return in March. However, has finished well held in 2 handicaps since, so has a bit to prove after 4 months off (has been gelded).

Form: 44-100

12/1

Won 3 times in claimers at around 1m during the summer and gained a first handicap success at Down Royal (7f) 2 weeks ago, scoring comfortably. Free-going front runner who can give a good account with stall 1 to work from.

Recorded back-to-back nursery wins over 6f last year. Returned to his best when runner-up at Fairyhouse (6f) in June but below form all 3 starts since.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 76| BF| CD

7/1

Much improved second time up when winning maiden over this C&D in August. Wasn't able to justify favouritism when fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Bellewstown (1m) 11 days ago, though did shape third best for most of the way.

11/1

3-time course winner with his latest success here last autumn. Runner-up 3 times in a row this season but hasn't been in the same form of late. However, he's now 4 lb below his last winning mark so is one to note.

18/1

Off the mark for the year at Limerick (1m) in June and won with a bit to spare at Gowran last month. Well below form back at Gowran (9.5f) 23 days ago, but had been in good heart prior to that so could fare better back down in trip.

Contrary To Law^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 74

7/2

Well backed when making a successful handicap debut at Fairyhouse (7f) in July and shaped as if still in form when sixth of 22 at the Curragh (6f) 8 days ago. Not ruled out with hood refitted back up in trip.

Mercurial^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nallen| OR: 69

5/1

Sole victory came back in April 2024 but there have been better signs this season, including when close third here in August. Below-par effort at Listowel last time but he could bounce back at this venue. Interesting from his winning mark.

Form: 9-42836

La La Lucrative²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 67| C

4/1

Took advantage of his much-reduced mark at Listowel in May and also scored at this course the following month. Has continued in good heart since, runner-up back at Listowel 20 days ago. Can make another bold bid in his current form.

Selective Power^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: James Ryan| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 65| C| D

7/1

Winner here last autumn and overcame the worst of the draw to record a first success this season at Bellewstown (1m) 12 days ago. Has gone back up 8 lb in the weights which will make life tougher this time around.

Solomon^h³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 65| D

125/1

Winner of a Limerick claimer (11.5f) for Denis Hogan last summer but hasn't gone on in handicaps for current yard, running poorly after 7 months off when well held at Down Royal (10.5f) in September. Has work to do back down in trip.

Form: 0097-60

Girl Bear⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: Jack Foley| OR: 63

40/1

Good third over this C&D on handicap debut, before not seen to best effect next 2 outings. However, ran poorly at Gowran 6 weeks ago so needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Contrary To Law (7/2), La La Lucrative (4/1), Mercurial (5/1), Save The Sixes (7/1), Selective Power (7/1), She's Too Kool (10/1), Earls (11/1), Minaun View (12/1), Nakamura (16/1), Gypsy Queen (18/1), Java Wood (18/1), Breaking Dawn (28/1), Final Boss (33/1), Girl Bear (40/1), Tyraxes (100/1), Solomon (125/1)

Successful on 2 of his first 3 starts this season, LA LA LUCRATIVE has been holding his form well since and he is taken to resume winning ways back at the scene of his latest victory. The main danger could be Mercurial, whose best effort of the season came when third here on his penultimate outing, with Earls completing the shortlist.
