Racing Club Membership Handicap (0-60) (Div 2)

3YO plus | 1m 75y | 19 Runners | Turf

(11)

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell| OR: 60

Maiden who finished third in a similar C&D event last month. Produced a career-best when narrowly failing to justify strong support at Thurles subsequently. Races in same grade despite a 3 lb nudge and it's been a solid start for current connections.

Form: 245532

Zarenakarena⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Nathan Crosse| T: E & P Harty| OR: 57| D

Proved a different proposition sent handicapping with Colin Keane aboard when landing 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 7 days ago. Still very much unexposed and slightly longer trip/handy draw only enhances her prospects of a follow up.

Form: 9001

The Blue Panther^t,v1¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: Aidan Melia| OR: 56| BF| CD

Has popped up with handicap wins in 2024/2025. Went close to opening his account for this year in a similar C&D handicap in July. Arrives in fine heart following back-to-back places and should be firmly in the mix in another change of headgear.

Form: 492023

Cosmic Funk^v1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 58

Hit the frame in consecutive handicaps here prior to a rare poor effort at Roscommon (7.5f, soft, 5/1) 7 days ago. More severe headgear could be the catalyst for a bounce back and probably worth another chance down in this grade.

Form: 556446

Sydney Dollars¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jamie Powell| T: M Fahey| OR: 58

Shaped with some promise on qualifying run/final start for Joseph G. Murphy at Limerick (7f, soft) in June. Not discounted if new connections have her ready to roll on handicap bow, for all stall 18 is less than ideal.

Form: 877

Staywitherjohnny⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robert Whearty| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 54

Potentially well treated on the pick of her form in maidens/handicaps. Possibly stretched by longer trip (carried head awkwardly) when 1¼-length third of 5 at Chepstow (1¼m, soft). Another for whom the draw could have been kinder, though still needs a second look back down in trip.

Form: 9-63953

Gloriously Glam^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 51| CD

Won twice at this course for Ado McGuiness. Has offered precious little in 3 starts for present yard, though.

Form: 520900

(3)

Watercraft⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J P Flavin| OR: 54

Didn't show much in 3 starts for Richard Hannon (sold for only 11,000 gns) and similar story both starts for current connections.

Form: 86-600

(7)

Walls Cross⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nina Doherty⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 48

Cheap purchase who has little form in 5 runs to date.

Form: 08000

(17)

Cause I Like You^p,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 50| BF| D

Typically found plenty for pressure when opening her account in 3-y-o handicap at Killarney (1m, good) in July. Runner-up in this grade over C&D last month prior to filling the same position at Thurles latest. Usual cheekpieces go back on, however, stall 17 is potentially tricky.

Form: 152022

(19)

Chou Chou¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 46

Lacklustre both starts since a relatively promising third at Navan (1m), latterly in first-time blinkers (now removed) behind Tariff at Thurles. Added burden of stall 19 here.

Form: 904390

(6)

Tariff¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Ryan| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 49| D

Close third behind Cisterna (entered in race 2 here) at Cork last month. Improved/just held on by short head from Princess Chloe when getting off the mark at Thurles (1m) last time, not helping his cause with a slow start. Possibilities off 5 lb higher.

Form: 089361

Miss Americana³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Brien| OR: 41| BF

Maiden who went close here on reappearance in April. Ran right up to her best when third over C&D last month prior to failing to justify her strength in the betting at Punchestown (9f). Still looks interesting given her form at this track.

Form: 992735

(2)

Rampage^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 40| D

Has a fair record here. Arguably a shade unlucky not to snap his long losing run over C&D last month. Has a much better draw this time and potentially interesting with visor back on following a couple of lesser efforts.

Form: 785268

(16)

Sceitimini²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Killian Leonard| T: R Sweeney| OR: 43

Best recent effort when fifth of 16 in 1m Cork handicap in August. Didn't look the easiest of rides at Listowel but seemingly wasn't aided by first-time blinkers at Cork (6f) last time. Now back up in trip with headgear removed.

Form: 500570

(9)

Snap Decision⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan| OR: 40

Best effort when sixth behind Blue Panther at Roscommon (7.5f) in June. Typically hasn't helped himself with slow starts when below form both starts since. At least has good-value claimer aboard first time.

Form: 088660

(13)

Ardeur³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Reserve 1| T: P J Flynn| OR: 57

Aided by the run of race when posting her best effort for present yard with 2-length fourth at Clonmel (1¼m) latest. Things may not unfold as favourably back down in trip from stall 13, though. RESERVE

Form: 0-00074

(5)

Wegotogether^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Reserve 2| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 60| D

Gained a breakthrough success in first-time cheekpieces at Bellewstown (1m) in August. Back in reasonable form when fourth over the same C&D last time and looks weighted to be in the mix with cheekpieces back on. RESERVE

Form: 0-81404

(10)

Mapa^h,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Reserve 3| T: S Lavery| OR: 45

Long-standing maiden. Mark in freefall having looked badly out of sorts in 1½m handicaps lately. Drops significantly back down in trip. RESERVE

Form: 000608

Forecasts

Princess Chloe (7/2), Cause I Like You (9/2), Tariff (11/2), The Blue Panther (6/1), Zarenakarena (13/2), Staywitherjohnny (13/2), Miss Americana (10/1), Wegotogether (10/1), Ardeur (12/1), Cosmic Funk (12/1), Rampage (14/1), Sydney Dollars (16/1), Chou Chou (20/1), Snap Decision (20/1), Sceitimini (33/1), Watercraft (66/1), Gloriously Glam (100/1), Walls Cross (150/1), Mapa (150/1)

A very tricky puzzle and a chance is taken on RAMPAGE, who has a much better draw than when an eye-catching second here last month. Princess Chloe, The Blue Panther and Miss Americana head an extensive list of dangers.
