Comfort Line^v¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Cillian Rowan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 60| CD

8/1

A 7-time course winner, while he also scored at the Curragh in August. Not so good of late and may have gone off the boil, although worth noting he was successful on his last go in a 0-60 here.

Final Boss^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 60

9/2

Yet to win but with his mark having dropped 15 lb he ran better than for a while in refitted blinkers on his first visit here last week. Could have a race in him on that showing.

Carrigans Grove¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 57| C

11/2

Much improved in 2025, winning 3 times, but hasn't looked the same straightforward and consistent type this year, again getting going late at Navan last time. Has dropped a long way in the weights if a return to Dundalk can re-ignite her spark.

Form: 070345

Volendam^h⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: James Ryan| T: E D Delany| OR: 57

80/1

Belatedly off the mark at Bath (1m) in April for Tony Carroll. Placed twice subsequently, but hasn't beaten another rival in 2 runs for current yard. Returns from a break with a hood back on.

El Fontenaro¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P Fahey| OR: 56

22/1

Had twice gone close before finally opening her account at Cork (6f) in late-July. One of her lesser efforts at Navan a fortnight ago and others preferred back up in trip.

Dandyville^b,h¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 55| CD

12/1

Useful handicapper at best and signs of a revival from a massively-reduced mark in this headgear here a fortnight ago. A player if building on that (last win came in a 70-100 handicap over C&D 3 years ago).

Form: 008007

Whistling Jamesie^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: N Lupini| OR: 56| C

8/1

Made a successful nursery debut here (6f) a year ago off a 10 lb higher mark. Lightly raced this time around, possibly needing the run over C&D after 4 months off last week. New headgear tried.

Form: 1-80050

Vibrato²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: C Collins| OR: 52| D

7/4

Won at Southwell over this trip last summer for Jennie Candlish. Failed to fire for new yard at the start of 2026 but returns from 7 months off now and is another who has dropped plenty in the weights.

Form: 00-0079

Glen Breeze^p,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: P Magee| OR: 45| D

10/1

Won at Limerick (7f) in July. Mixed record since, never in the hunt the last twice. Others preferred.

14/1

C&D winner back in December 2024 but of little account nowadays.

Jackandthefox^p1²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Leigh Roche| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 40

25/1

Long-standing maiden who has been strong in the betting on a couple of occasions this season but continues to find a first win hard to come by. Interesting to see if the money comes again back up in trip with cheekpieces tried.

Form: 545500

Pick A Window⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ryan| T: S G O'Donnell| OR: 40

33/1

Showed more than previously upped in trip when fifth of 13 in handicap at Limerick (7f) in June. However, nowhere near that form since, including in first-time cheekpieces latest.

River Derwent⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Nina Doherty⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 40| CD

33/1

Has 3 C&D wins to his name but has looked on the downgrade, always behind after a slow start back from 4 months off here 6 weeks ago.

Vibrato (7/4), Iff In Doubt (4/1), Final Boss (9/2), Carrigans Grove (11/2), Comfort Line (8/1), Whistling Jamesie (8/1), Glen Breeze (10/1), Battle Borne (10/1), Dandyville (12/1), Hastily (14/1), Chester Nimitz (20/1), El Fontenaro (22/1), Jackandthefox (25/1), River Derwent (33/1), Pick A Window (33/1), Volendam (80/1)

IFF IN DOUBT has returned to form here of late and dropped 2 lb and now contesting a 0-60, can resume winning ways under an excellent apprentice. Dandyville showed all is not lost last time and could figure if building on that. Final Boss could have a race in him judged on his latest showing.
