Storm Eric^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: Jamie Flynn| OR: 59| C

4/1

Gained a fourth course win in October. No problem with step back up in trip when 2 lengths third in a slowly-run C&D handicap last week. Should go well again if he can get in from a wide draw.

Form: 823103

Expound^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mel Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 58

12/1

Dropped into this grade for the first time when 3 lengths seventh of 13 over 7f here (20/1) latest. Has form over this significantly longer trip. Looks interesting off slipping mark, especially if market speaks more favourably.

Form: 474807

Young Churchill⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Sam Coen| T: R O'Brien| OR: 57

9/1

Best run for current yard when close third in this grade at Limerick (12.5f) in July. Looked back in form in a better race at Navan prior to finishing well held from out of the weights over hurdles latest. Back in calmer waters for second all-weather start and talented apprentice booked.

Magna Gee Gee³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽²⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 54| D

9/1

Snapped lengthy losing run at Limerick in July before seemingly not 100% at Gowran. Arrives fit from a spell in maiden hurdles. Trainer/jockey combination going well and cannot be discounted tackling this grade for first time on all-weather.

Deluca Chop^v⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁴⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 53| C

7/2

Course winner who secured back-to-back successes at Navan/Down Royal in June. Still in fine heart when ½-length second of 14 over C&D in late-September, the form taking a few knocks since. Expected to give another good account from inside draw.

Form: 211532

In The Minus²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: B Cawley| OR: 52

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler whose sole Flat success came in 7f Limerick handicap last year. Back on his winning mark for first time since and could have a say if he stays this longer trip (bred for it) following spell over jumps.

Form: 1280-50

Coilins Girl^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Patrick McGettigan| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 55

25/1

Well held at longish odds 4 starts for capable yard. Given 4 lb reprieve ahead of second handicap start and worth noting if market expects improvement in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 9769

Chopsticks^p⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ross Fagan⁽⁷⁾| T: S M Duffy| OR: 49

18/1

Fair record in this grade around here. Never threatened when mid-field over C&D on first run since rejoining stable (22/1) latest. Usual headgear goes back on and dipped below his winning mark for first time.

Form: 409088

Doctor Grace^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cillian Rowan⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 49| C| D

13/2

Course winner. Ended a long losing run in better company at Roscommon in May. Hardly well placed when 3¼-length fourth in a muddling race over C&D 7 days ago (again dwelt). This should be run at a more honest pace, and she appeals back down in grade.

Form: 003904

Jazz Forever³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Nina Doherty⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 47| C

10/1

Sole success came at this course (10.5f) back in April 2024. Ran one of this season's better races when runner-up here last month before disappointing behind Storm Eric latest. Handicapper has given another chance, though stall 15 not ideal with relatively inexperienced jockey up.

Form: 000020

Keep It Together⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁴⁾| T: D Buckley| OR: 45

66/1

Handicap debutant who has no form in a variety of events.

Form: 0-0668

Roderick^p,t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Camillus Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 43

20/1

Veteran who has been in decent nick in similar company on turf this year. Hard to be confident he can capitalise on slipping mark back on all-weather (0-20), though.

Form: 704276

(5)

Chant D'or⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁴⁾| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 40

9/2

Lightly-raced 4-y-o. Made more impact than previously when 3½ lengths fifth of 14 (behind Deluca Chop) over C&D last time, making late headway. Less exposed than most and forecast strong pace probably in his favour.

Form: 000-705

(2)

Duleek Street^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Burns| T: J C McConnell| OR: 40

33/1

Fair hurdler who clearly isn't the easiest to train. Needed comeback following further 14 months off at Roscommon (1½m, soft, 28/1) last month. Still a maiden on Flat, though has hit the frame both previous all-weather starts. Worth a market check with Nicola Burns up.

Form: 889/77-0

(4)

Lisnadill⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Reserve 1| T: J C McConnell| OR: 43

40/1

Maiden who offered little for Colin A. McBratney this year. Fared better off much reduced mark when 8½ lengths sixth of 14 on stable debut here (10.5f, 66/1) latest. Market likely to guide on second start for John McConnell (also saddles Duleek Street). RESERVE

Form: 26-0006

Forecasts

Deluca Chop (9/4), Storm Eric (3/1), Doctor Grace (7/1), Chant D'or (8/1), In The Minus (10/1), Magna Gee Gee (10/1), Roderick (14/1), Chopsticks (14/1), Jazz Forever (16/1), Young Churchill (16/1), Expound (16/1), Lisnadill (20/1), Duleek Street (25/1), Coilins Girl (25/1), Keep It Together (33/1)

Two-time course winner DOCTOR GRACE is taken to capitalise on a return to calmer waters. Expound could be a serious threat, especially if the market speaks in his favour. In The Minus and Storm Eric also merit consideration.
