Tarsus^t⁶⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: John M Harney| OR: 74| CD

50/1

C&D winner back in February 2024 for Andy Slattery but well held both starts in early-2025 for this yard. Plenty to prove after 21 months off.

Form: 4160/87-

Initial Blue^b,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: J Davison| OR: 73

6/1

Won 4 times this year, including first time out for new trainer at Laytown in September. Not disgraced when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 21 days ago but likely needs a couple of these to falter to defy this mark.

Form: 231166

Cuban Grey^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Luke McAteer| T: P J McKenna| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Won over C&D in May. Posted a couple of creditable placed efforts over the summer but has largely struggled of late and others are preferred despite now being 3 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 350880

Lethimfly^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G Keane| OR: 72| D

10/3

Sported a first-time tongue strap when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark in an 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 4/1) 23 days ago, going clear inside the final 1f. Retains plenty of handicapping scope despite 10 lb rise.

Form: 000071

(7)

Coincidental Glory^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Camillus Byrne⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 67| C

13/2

Got off the mark for the season when taking 21-runner 6f Navan handicap last month and shaped as if still in decent heart after a 7 lb rise when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago.

Form: 302314

(6)

Mary Shoelaces^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: E & P Harty| OR: 67| D

14/1

Back to form from out of the blue when landing an 18-runner event at the Curragh (5f) in July. Not in the same form on her last 2 starts, though, so others look more persuasive.

Form: 671459

Mint Man^t⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 67| CD

14/1

Fitted with a visor when getting off the mark for the year at the Curragh (6f) in August. Went off too hard there next time but fewer excuses when down the field at Navan since.

Form: 803100

Sovereign Cry^b1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 67| CD

8/1

Bounced back to form when gaining a first handicap success at Naas (5f) in July but mostly below par since, not helping his cause with slow starts. In first-time blinkers.

Form: 499809

(8)

Harry's Hill^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: M Hassett| OR: 65| CD

18/1

A 3-time winner at the Curragh, the latest of which came in an 11-runner event in August. Down the field in stronger races this autumn but harder to make an excuse for his last 2 underwhelming efforts.

Form: 210980

(11)

Jordan Breeze¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 62| CD

11/4

Better than ever when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago by 1¾ lengths from One Cool Bear, showing a good change of pace to lead over 1f out. Can go well again after 7 lb rise.

Form: 067851

(2)

One Cool Bear^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 60| D

9/2

Capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring at Bellewstown (5f) last month and back to that sort of form when placed on his last 2 outings, most recently when 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Jordan Breeze in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 12 days ago.

Form: 817732

(4)

Astute Power^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: James Ryan| T: E Lynam| OR: 57

33/1

Showed more than on first 2 starts this season when fourth of 13 in a Navan maiden last month but added to his patchy record when eighth of 9 in maiden at Navan (5f, soft, 14/1) 21 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 54-0048

(13)

Treasured Royal^b1,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53

18/1

Navan maiden winner on second start and stopped the slide to an extent after a poor start in handicaps when 3 lengths fifth of 14 to Jordan Breeze over this C&D (18/1) 12 days ago. Blinkers on first time.

Form: 400005

Forecasts

Lethimfly (3/1), Jordan Breeze (7/2), One Cool Bear (6/1), Initial Blue (8/1), Coincidental Glory (10/1), Treasured Royal (12/1), Cuban Grey (12/1), Mary Shoelaces (12/1), Sovereign Cry (14/1), Mint Man (16/1), Astute Power (20/1), Harry's Hill (25/1), Tarsus (33/1)

LETHIMFLY has been hit quite hard for his recent impressive Wolverhampton win but remains well treated on his old form and can follow up over recent C&D winner Jordan Breeze. One Cool Bear can make the placings for the third start in a row.
