DARK VIPER is the suggestion in this weak affair. Placed five times in eight starts for current connections, he didn't get the run of the race when sixth at Listowel last week. Beaten by just half a length on his penultimate start, he had two subsequent winners in behind. The highest rated of those with a mark, Gandolfo is the obvious danger. After some excellent efforts as a juvenile, the Churchill chestnut hasn't been the most consistent in recent times. Beaten by just a short head at Gowran last month, he since failed to make an impact after a slow start at Punchestown. Placed twice from four outings, Goldrush Kid is of definite interest, while Laytown fourth Red Special is another to consider.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, RED SPECIAL getting the vote to open his account in refitted headgear having not been seen to best effect at Laytown last month. Second choice is Goldrush Kid, who probably needed the run after 4 months off making his handicap debut at the Curragh last time, while Gandolfo and Dark Viper have both shown enough to be involved too so round off the shortlist.

GANDOLFO wasn't seen to best effect in a Punchestown h'cap last week but he went close on his penultimate start and should go well here

After winning at Dundalk on Friday, Rampage is sure to have plenty of supporters, carrying a 7lb winner's penalty. No worse than fifth in five visits to Bellewstown, another bold bid looks likely from the locally trained five-year-old. However, it is SKONTONOVSKI who gets the nod if turned out quickly following his Cork engagement on Tuesday. A brilliant servant to connections, the nine-time winner has been knocking on the door of late, keeping on well to finish fourth at Listowel last week. Successful over this course and distance in July, Amanirenas might be able to bounce back from some below par recent efforts. A five time winner for Paul Flynn, Feature This is of definite interest on his first start for Ian Donoghue, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are Breezy Zoff, Pimstrel and Fastman.

SKONTONOVSKI is on a good mark and has been running well lately, so he's put forward as the answer. Breezy Zoff and Little Keilee head up the opposition.

It might be worth chancing PIMSTREL who hit the frame over this course and distance when last seen and softer ground should suit

Manhattan Dandy won this contest 12 months ago, while Mogwli was successful on the same card. Both have failed to trouble the judge in recent starts, but are capable of making an impact. Sneddy Eddie is another course and distance winner in the line-up and after finishing third at Roscommon early last month, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. With Colin Keane aboard, IVASECRET looks the one to beat. Claimed by current connection after an easy success for Ian Williams at Laytown, the six-time winner will be well fancied to follow-up. Second over this course and distance in July, Perfect Curves warrants respect with Keithen Kennedy claiming a valuable 7lb, while Zero Fighter is another for the shortlist.

SNEDDY EDDIE arrives in form and won his previous visit here so he gets the nod. Manhattan Dandy won this 12 months ago so don't be surprised to see him bounce back to form and make a bold bid in this race again. Gordon Elliott's Perfect Curve is another with C&D form and completes the shortlist.

SNEDDY EDDIE gave it a good go from the front when placed at Roscommon last month and he can confirm the form with Manhattan Dandy
Class & Speed Card

Already twice successful over the course and distance this season, both COPIE CONFORME and The Bog Bank are sure to prove popular with punters. The Kevin Prendergast-trained former is marginally preferred. A consistent sort, she'll be ridden by the experienced Jack Cleary, who is enjoying his best campaign to date. From the nearby village of Kentstown, Alyse Clarke has been aboard The Bog Bank for his two most recent successes. The young apprentice again takes the ride and claims a valuable 4lb. Polar Bear and Rhythm King are other course winners in the line-up, with the former upped in trip after a disappointing effort at Laytown. The progressive Proleek Prince made the breakthrough at Punchestown recently and is another obvious contender.

PROLEEK PRINCE has been steadily progressive since being switched to handicaps and he's fancied to follow up his breakthrough success at Punchestown last month at the chief expense of Copie Conforme, who is 2-2 at this course but may have to settle for silver this time. The Bog Bank, who boasts 4 C&D wins and was successful here again just over 5 weeks ago, completes the shortlist.

Preference is for PROLEEK PRINCE. He has run ok on soft before and his jockey's claim offsets most of his 6lb rise for his recent win.
Class & Speed Card

PANSY POE is unlikely to get a better opportunity to open her account. An 80,000-euro yearling purchase, the 73-rated bay has been placed four times from eight starts. Versatile with regards to ground, she was third when last seen at the Curragh, with subsequent winner Just For One Day a place behind. Rated just 1lb inferior, The Poacher Daly is the obvious danger. Without a win in nine starts, he has been placed twice and finished third when last seen at Down Royal. Limoncello Lady (first time visor) ran her best race to date when beaten by just a head at Navan recently and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. Third in a weak contest at Tipperary in May, Times In Oz warrants respect in first-time cheekpieces.

PANSY POE arrives with comfortably the best form to her name and this seems like an excellent opportunity for her to get off the mark. The Poacher Daly and Limoncello Lady are both respected for all that they'll need to find improvement.

It might be worth taking a chance on TIMES IN OZ. She ran well on soft at Tipperary and the booking of Keane looks significant.

A case can be made for all seven. Successful in this very contest 12 months ago and rated 1lb lower now, MICKEY THE STEEL is the selection. Not seen since April, the four-time winner has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be ridden by young apprentice Sam Coen who claims a valuable 10lb. Inishmot Prince finished with a flourish when registering his first win on turf at Navan recently, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. A close fifth in that Proudstown Park contest, Rathbranchurch will have his supporters, while Escaping Thejungle, who hinted at a return to form when fourth at Laytown, is another leading hope.

Last year's winner MICKEY THE STEEL could be geared up for a big run back from a break and 1 lb lower than for that success. Navan winner Inishmot Prince and Distillate are feared.

Preference is for ESCAPING THEJUNGLE. The C&D winner is 13lb lower than when beat a head at Cork last year and she ran well at Laytown.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained RADAR AHEAD can strike at the third time of asking. A strong finishing third having missed the break on her debut at Ballinrobe in June, the daughter of Postponed ran a big race when runner-up in stronger company at Galway last time. With the benefit of those experiences, the three-year-old should be able to make the breakthrough. Mythical Rock, who has finished second on his latest two outings, is unlikely to be far away. Trainer Alan McIntyre has his string in excellent form at present. Emma Calve should appreciate stepping up in trip here having caught the eye with her finishing effort at Navan on debut. Although a more galloping track may suit better, the well-bred filly has to be of interest.

RADAR AHEAD stepped up on her debut when second at Galway last time, doing some good late work. She's likely to do better again and makes most appeal for all that the likes of Young Churchill and Mythical Rock are closely matched with her at the weights.

The most obvious one is RADAR AHEAD; the form of her Galway second was boosted by the winner at Listowel and she should be thereabouts

A consistent filly since joining the Willie McCreery stable, KEILAH can gain a second career win. Held up off the pace when opening her account at Punchestown last month, the four-year-old just failed to double up under similar tactics at Navan last time. From a wide draw, Billy Lee is likely to drop the daughter of Harzand out before coming with a late run. Stepping back up to this trip should suit. Arch Enemy, who has gone close on a couple of occasions this season, has to be of interest with her capable apprentice taking off 10lb here. Patrick Street finished a creditable third at Galway last month and a similar level of performance would bring him into the reckoning.

KEILAH is in top form and can resume winning ways if getting the longer trip. Arch Enemy and Black Soul are a couple of others to consider.

WISDOMOFHINDSIGHT didn't see out 2m2f at Down Royal last time but he previously went close and he can resume progress down in trip
