Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Handily weighted if back on his A-game here though.

Celtic Druid¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 66| C

Course winner. Retried in a visor when eighth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown 16 days ago, no extra late on after rapid headway to lead over 3f out. No forlorn hope.

Form: 732788

Comfort Line^v²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Cillian Rowan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 65| C

A 7-time course winner. Also scored at the Curragh in August. Below-form eighth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 641358

Eastern Peace^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 65| CD

C&D winner late in 2025. Cheekpieces on for first time when a good staying-on third of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good) 31 days ago. A player stepping back up in trip here.

Form: 9-30573

Avec Grand Plaisir⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P Fahey| OR: 69

Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Navan (1m, good) in August, just holding on. Up 4 lb but should remain competitive back up in trip.

Form: 753821

Big Jake⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: A Oliver| OR: 64

Has been brought along steadily, fifth of 13 in maiden at Naas (1m, soft) 6 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap debut and likely capable of better.

Form: 485

(3)

Expound^p,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: D Hogan| OR: 64

Yet to fire this year and failed to build on earlier promise when eighth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 25 days ago. More is required.

Form: 404748

(9)

Summer Snow^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Lawlor| OR: 64

Twelve runs since her last win in 2025 and only eighth of 15 in handicap at Listowel (1m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 083008

(13)

Limestone Red^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Collins| OR: 62| CD

C&D winner in January and largely in good heart of late, not enjoying a smooth passage when seventh of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (11f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 882357

(4)

Dancing Steve^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 61

Opened his account in 12-runner handicap at Down Royal (13f) in September only to come in last of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown 16 days ago. Bounce back is needed.

Form: 008310

Enchanted Lady⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 61

Fair maiden who has had excuses the last twice, most recently when badly hampered at Down Royal last month. Cheekpieces discarded and very much one to consider back on polytrack (best effort here).

Form: 457970

(8)

Tyraxes^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Mel Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 61

Made the frame 4 times in maiden company in first half of 2026 but has lost his way since, again finishing well held in maiden at Bellewstown (1m) 16 days ago.

Form: 045977

(12)

Trumph^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 65

Sent off at 150/1 but showed a lot more when sixth in maiden at Cork last month. However, down the field switched to handicaps since, tried in cheekpieces last time. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 8-0600

(15)

Lamberella^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Marnane| OR: 63

Tongue strap on for first time when a good fourth of 6 in handicap at Limerick in July but has twice failed to back it up. Polytrack debutante.

Form: 580400

Felix Somary^b1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Reserve 1| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 72

Winless since debut but in good form until eleventh of 14 in handicap at Galway (1m, soft) last month. Tried in different headgear now (blinkers go on for first time) and could bounce back on polytrack debut. RESERVE

Form: 990330

Glamazon^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Reserve 2| T: P W Flynn| OR: 60

Finally off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Ballinrobe in May. Mixed record since but signed off for Jessica Harrington with a good third at Punchestown (9f) in September. Below-par sixth for new yard at Thurles (1m, good to soft) 8 days ago though. RESERVE

Form: 493036

Elusive Duke^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Reserve 3| T: M A Molloy| OR: 59

On a losing run and he came in only thirteenth of 14 in 7f handicap here a week ago. Easy to look elsewhere. RESERVE

Forecasts

Avec Grand Plaisir (7/4), Eastern Peace (11/4), Tribal Moon (7/1), Comfort Line (15/2), Limestone Red (8/1), Expound (10/1), Summer Snow (16/1), Dancing Steve (16/1), Glamazon (16/1), Felix Somary (20/1), Enchanted Lady (25/1), Celtic Druid (33/1), Big Jake (33/1), Tyraxes (50/1), Trumph (50/1), Lamberella (50/1), Elusive Duke (66/1)

EASTERN PEACE has dropped to a handy mark and signalled she is ready to strike again when staying on into third over 9f at Punchestown last time so looks the way to go back over this longer trip. Enchanted Lady could emerge as the main danger now back on polytrack, although Limestone Red, Avec Grand Plaisir and Tribal Moon can all have a say too in this very open handicap.
