Sole win came in a C&D maiden early last year. Best effort this season when beaten 1¾ lengths fourth in 6-runner listed race at the Curragh (1m) in June. Failed to build on that and now drops back into handicap company.
|
Showed himself still capable of smart form when winning over 5f here in February but little to shout about since and is probably best watched back up in trip.
|
Won 6f maiden here on reappearance and bounced back from a poor effort to win 7f Fairyhouse minor event in June. Shaped as if still in form when close third at Naas in July. More required after over 3 months off but is the choice of Keane.
|
Won Convivial maiden at York (7f) last summer for Aidan O'Brien. Has rather lost his way for current yard and is very hard to make a case for here.
|
Scored at Navan in May. More miss than hit since but wasn't disgraced when eighth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) last month. May need a few to falter.
|
Made a promising start for connections, winning handicap over 6f at the Curragh in May and then finding only one too good at Cork the following month. Not in the same form since but has at least dropped below last winning mark.
|
Remains with just the sole success but has at least run some good races in defeat this year, whilst gradually dropping in the weights. Probably unsuited by the testing conditions at Naas last time. Should at least get a strong pace to aim at and he makes the shortlist.
|
Three-time C&D winner, latest back in January but has generally lacked consistency since. 16/1, back to form when second of 13 in handicap at this course (1m) last week. Not out of things if backing that up.
|
Debut winner in 6f Navan maiden last autumn. Proven herself a fairly useful filly on the whole this season, but hasn't quite gone on from encouraging fourth in listed race there on return. Improvement required on all-weather/handicap debut.
|
Upped his game when getting off the mark at the fifth attempt in 13-runner maiden at Navan in July. Upped his form further when second in Roscommon handicap the following month. Ran poorly in big-field Curragh handicap earlier this month and no surprise to see him bounce back.
|
Good placed efforts here early this year but has hindered his chances at the start since. Off 5 months and has the headgear discarded.
|
In good heart when winning back-to-back over 1m here in March. Below par both starts on turf this summer and is best not judged too harshly on his run here just last week.
|
Off the mark in C&D handicap in February. Made little impact at the Curragh on last Flat start in April but showed nothing in 2 hurdle outings since, latest at Cork 5 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Ocean's Breath (5/2), Exquisite Acclaim (3/1), Kindergarten (13/2), Cool Azul (8/1), Valiant Force (10/1), Howd'yadoit (10/1), Boston Benjamin (12/1), City House (12/1), Brewing (14/1), Ohailbhic (16/1), Spicy Margarita (25/1), Headmaster (33/1), Frescobaldi (50/1)
CITY HOUSE should get a good pace set up and can finally take advantage of his falling mark. Cool Azul appeals as the type to quickly bounce back and should be thereabouts, while Exquisite Acclaim can't be ignored on his effort here last week.
