Buttermere Ridge^p,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 56| D

Without a win since debut but has got back on track with in-frame efforts the last twice, faring best of those up with the strong early gallop when fourth of 14 at Roscommon (7.5f) 15 days ago. Now switches back to cheekpieces.

Form: 740034

(2)

Tariff⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 58

Much improved of late, getting off the mark at Thurles (8.5f) early this month. Has had 2 runs since, making second start in 2 days when also winning 23-runner contest at the Curragh (1m) by ½ length from God Knows. Off just another 7 days since.

Form: 936121

God Knows^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 55

Yet to win this season, but with cheekpieces back on she returned to form when ½-length second of 23 to Tariff in handicap at the Curragh (1m) 7 days ago. Remains on a handy mark so she merits consideration.

Form: 070052

(18)

Real Petite^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 53

Off the mark at Gowran (1m) in June and doubled her in tally in emphatic fashion when winning 16-runner contest at the same course 8 days ago by 4 lengths from Survivor's Code. Again has widest draw to overcome, but she commands respect.

Form: 608641

(6)

Tempted Angel⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 51

Only modest form in a trio of maidens and down the field both starts in handicaps, making turf debut when always behind at Gowran (1m) 8 weeks ago.

Form: 50680

(8)

Racing Royalty^p1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G Scott| OR: 48| D

It's now 3 years since his last success and has run poorly the last twice, well held at Killarney (1m, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces replace the usual blinkers.

Form: 99-7570

(17)

Think About It⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer| T: T P McGettigan| OR: 47

Showed better signs on third start for this yard but has gone backwards from that effort in 3 subsequent outings, ninth of 12 at Navan (1m) when last seen in August.

Form: 805709

(7)

Capolinea²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: James Ryan| T: P Magee| OR: 45

Well beaten in 3 maidens this summer, but finished a bit closer than previously when sixth of 16 in handicap at Navan (1¼m) 20 days ago. Has something to find as she drops back in trip.

Form: 5006

(3)

Movin And Groovin^p1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Crosse| T: D Marnane| OR: 44

Made a winning stable debut at Dundalk (1m) in July and placed 2 of 3 starts since, third of 13 at Roscommon (7.5f) 15 days ago despite having been left poorly placed. On a reduced mark and she's a contender with cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 75-1373

(12)

Saith Seren^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Lee| OR: 43

Remains a maiden but arrives in decent heart, again running respectably when 3 lengths fifth of 14 to Tariff in handicap at Thurles (8.5f) 19 days ago. Hood back on.

Form: 555365

(4)

Miss Americana^p1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien| OR: 41| BF

Placed 3 times this season, the latest when third of 16 at Gowran (1m) in September, and not disgraced when fifth of 13 at the same course 8 days ago. Cheekpieces added back down in trip as she bids for a breakthrough success.

Form: 927355

(15)

Survivor's Code^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Robert Whearty| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 43| D

Off the mark at Gowran (7f) in April. Found things tougher subsequently but having dropped in the weights she's fared better the last twice, 4 lengths second of 16 to Real Petite at Gowran (8.5f) on latest outing.

Form: 799052

(13)

Tijuana^t³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Finn| OR: 40

Still winless and hasn't offered much in 2 starts since returning from a very lengthy absence this season, off another 4 months ahead of finishing well held in maiden at Listowel (1m) 5 weeks ago.

Form: 0007/00

(10)

Arizona Star⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Wesley Joyce| T: M Mulvany| OR: 40

Maiden who went closer than she ever has when ½-length second of 9 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m) at the beginning of the month. However, wasn't in the same form when seventh of 16 at Gowran 8 days ago.

Form: 385027

Spinola Bear^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Reserve 1| T: K P Cotter| OR: 50

Little impact in maidens and has failed to improve in handicaps the last twice, hanging badly left when ninth of 14 at Dundalk 11 days ago. Blinkers now reached for. RESERVE.

Form: 07089

(16)

Fan Club^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Reserve 2| T: D Hogan| OR: 56

Went the wrong way in 3 outings for William Haggas and, after 15-month absence, has offered little for current yard this season, making handicap debut when thirteenth of 17 at the Curragh (5f) 12 days ago. RESERVE.

Form: 4/57-640

(14)

Tai Tam Bay^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Reserve 3| T: E & P Harty| OR: 55

Sole victory came back in April 2024. However, after 5 months off she shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 20 in handicap at the Curragh 12 days ago and her mark has dropped further as a result. RESERVE.

Form: 425907

Forecasts

Real Petite (7/2), Tariff (9/2), God Knows (6/1), Survivor's Code (6/1), Miss Americana (8/1), La Tulipe Noire (8/1), Buttermere Ridge (10/1), Movin And Groovin (10/1), Capolinea (10/1), Saith Seren (10/1), Tai Tam Bay (12/1), Arizona Star (14/1), Spinola Bear (25/1), Racing Royalty (25/1), Think About It (33/1), Fan Club (33/1), Tijuana (33/1), Tempted Angel (50/1)

MOVIN AND GROOVIN has a positive profile for her current yard with a win and 2 places from 4 starts this season, so she is taken to resume winning ways with headgear now added. Real Petite arrives on the back of a ready success at Gowran and is feared most, ahead of God Knows.
