13:50 Curragh Maiden 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	16 1st (16) (2.2/1 +2%) Navassa Island	2.2 2.2/1(+2%)	(16) Navassa Island 2.2/1, Thrice-raced filly. 4/5, fourth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 31 days ago, upsides entering final 1f and fading late on. Return to 6f rates a plus on that evidence and she's a big player. Drops back to 6f here which might well be a help but has to bounce back.
2	14 2nd (14) (3.33/1 -21%) She's Quality	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(14) She's Quality 3.33/1, Promising individual. 2½ lengths fourth of 8 to Kairyu in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes (33/1) at this course (6.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Open to further progress and she's well worth considering back in calmer waters. Has a Moyglare entry and clearly capable of winning a maiden; strong contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.38/1 +21%) Letsbefrankaboutit	1.38 1.38/1(+21%)	(1) Letsbefrankaboutit 1.38/1, €40,000 yearling, €240,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Moojim (2-y-o 5f winner) and 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Ayresome, while his dam was also a 2-y-o 6f winner. Lots to like on paper and Group-race entries suggest that he's well-regarded. Entered in the National Stakes; no surprise should he be good enough on debut.
4	13 4th (13) (40/1 -43%) Prime Art	40 40/1(-43%)	(13) Prime Art 40/1, Foaled April 3. €110,000 yearling, Churchill filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, closely related to 2-y-o 7f (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère) winner Horatio Nelson and winner up to 1¼m Viscount Nelson (both very smart) out of Imagine (won Oaks/Irish 1000 Guineas). Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Well-bred newcomer by Churchill even if she might want further; respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 +0%) Simplexity	18 18/1(+0%)	(2) Simplexity 18/1, Invincible Army colt. Promise when fourth on debut in a Naas novice (6f) in July, keeping on for hands-and-heels riding. Still in need of the experience when midfield in 20-runner contest back there 6 days ago and he remains with potential. Not disgraced in the Ballyhane Stakes at Naas on Monday but more needed.
6th	9 6th (9) (50/1 -52%) Avatar Jet	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Avatar Jet 50/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, soft) on debut 22 days ago, ridden 2f out and flashing tail. Interesting back in trip and could well be one to outrun his likely odds.
7th	17 7th (17) (66/1 +0%) Needle Night	66 66/1(+0%)	(17) Needle Night 66/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) on debut 9 days ago, keeping on when forced to switch final 1f. Should improve. Ran okay without really getting home in a 7f maiden at Galway; should improve.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 +0%) Aratayvo	22 22/1(+0%)	(4) Aratayvo 22/1, Foaled January 31. €36,000 foal, Footstepsinthesand colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to high-class 5.7f-7f winner Lethal Force. Yard having good spell and he's a newcomer to note. Speedily bred newcomer but might be best watched on this occasion.
9th	18 9th (18) (25/1 -56%) Scorchio	25 25/1(-56%)	(18) Scorchio 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 16 in maiden at Naas (5f, good to firm, 2/1) 46 days ago, tackled 2f out and fading. Needs to bounce back. This trip will suit and she might even get further but looks the stable second string.
10th	3 10th (3) (40/1 +20%) Awesome Spirit Gal	40 40/1(+20%)	(3) Awesome Spirit Gal 40/1, Foaled April 23. Invincible Spirit filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Spirit Gal. Dam, maiden (stayed 13f), half-sister to 9f-1¼m winner Street Secret and 15f winner Awesome Star (both useful). Holds an entry in the Moyglare Stud Stakes and potentially interesting newcomer.
11th	10 11th (10) (100/1 -100%) Secret Jungle	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Secret Jungle 100/1, Foaled April 13. €12,500 foal, €17,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Time Douglas and 2-y-o 5f winner Absolute Beginners and half-brother to 5.7f-7f winner Macs Dilemma. Trainer's horses dangerous to underestimate when highly tried in maidens but best watched.
12th	5 12th (5) (50/1 -127%) Dundrum	50 50/1(-127%)	(5) Dundrum 50/1, Makes plenty of appeal on paper but not as clued up as the market anticipated when seventh of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f, 6/5) back in March, running green. Appeals as the type to leave that in his wake for very good yard back from a break. Clearly a lot better was expected on his Dundalk debut in March; interesting runner.
13th	11 13th (11) (16/1 +11%) Clarita	16 16/1(+11%)	(11) Clarita 16/1, Calyx filly who had landed a barrier trial prior to a good second in a Cork maiden (6f) in June. Disappointed on the back of that when seventh of 12 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 36 days ago but she's not one to write off. Very disappointing at Naas latest but a serious contender here on her previous Cork form.
14th	8 14th (8) (125/1 +0%) Aucusn	125 125/1(+0%)	(8) Aucusn 125/1, Once-raced colt. 18/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) on debut 9 days ago, never involved. This ought to reveal a good deal more. No impression on his debut over 7f at Galway; drop back in trip could suit.
15th	7 15th (7) (125/1 +0%) Verified	125 125/1(+0%)	(7) Verified 125/1, Foaled May 4. Camacho gelding. Closely related to smart winner up to 6f Taxiwala and useful 5f winner Kodama and half-brother to useful winner up to 5.3f Billy Dylan. Speedily-bred newcomer by Camacho; best watched.
16th	15 16th (15) (100/1 -300%) Beano Power	100 100/1(-300%)	(15) Beano Power 100/1, Foaled March 16. €60,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Alpine Girl. Dam unraced half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Cosmodrome and winner up to 1¼m Splashdown (both useful). Newcomer with a nice speed and stamina mix but best watched this time.

LTO Selection:

Navassa Island and She's Quality both bring Group 3 form to the table, with the former boasting a stronger level of form having chased home Albany winner Porta Fortuna on her racecourse debut at Naas. She hasn't progressed since that effort, finishing down the field at Royal Ascot before another defeat at Leopardstown, while the latter has performed with promise on both of her starts. That said, LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT represents a stable who are in flying form with their juveniles this season and it would be no surprise if the son of Sioux Nation were to get off the mark at the first attempt.

A runner-up in Group 3 company on debut, NAVASSA ISLAND seemed to find the extended 7f taxing her stamina in a Leopardstown maiden 31 days ago and with the drop back in trip expected to suit, she can make it fourth time lucky. She's Quality has showed more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and she's the lead threat. Newcomer Letsbefrankaboutit, Dundrum and Simplexity are others fancied to be in the mix.

The vote goes to the Twomey newcomer LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT who holds some nice entries with the stable's juveniles in excellent form

13:50 Curragh Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:20 Curragh Handicap 7f - 23 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	25 1st (25) (40/1 +39%) Goldmoyne	40 40/1(+39%)	(25) Goldmoyne 40/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Has work to do. May be more suited to this trip but others appeal much more; 2lb wrong.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -125%) Gosford	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Gosford 9/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 11/2) 15 days ago, just holding on. Expected to be bang there up just 3 lb. This trip with an ease seems to suit him well and only up 3lb for Gowran win; contender.
3	13 3rd (13) (7.5/1 +17%) Ano Manna	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(13) Ano Manna 7.5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago, always holding on. Booking of Horgan a plus and willing attitude will stand her in good stead. Scored in stylish fashion at Killarney; could go close off 9lb higher mark.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 -40%) Yuzu	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Yuzu 7/1, Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 11/2) 29 days ago. Back up in trip which should help her but she needs to raise her game. Lightly raced and not far behind Es Vedra at Navan; should do better upped in trip here.
5th	9 5th (9) (6.5/1 +68%) Drop The Dip	6.5 6.5/1(+68%)	(9) Drop The Dip 6.5/1, Winner at Listowel in June. 8/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 59 days ago. Not taken lightly. Drop in trip may well benefit if ridden positively here and could well go close.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Es Vedra	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(4) Es Vedra 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 17 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Back up in trip, which is sure to suit. Strong finisher behind the Snapper at Navan last month; chance if her best trip is found.
7th	18 7th (18) (11/1 -38%) Tiktok Time	11 11/1(-38%)	(18) Tiktok Time 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, very good fourth of 15 in handicap at Cork (6f, good) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Return to 7f in her favour. Shaped at Cork as though stepping up to 7f would suit and one to keep in mind.
8th	23 8th (23) (40/1 +20%) Benerville	40 40/1(+20%)	(23) Benerville 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Cork (6f, good) 16 days ago. Visor on first time. Well beaten when dropped to 6f at Cork last time; back to 7f here in a first-time visor.
9th	15 9th (15) (18/1 +28%) Lady Christa	18 18/1(+28%)	(15) Lady Christa 18/1, 6½ lengths eighth of 9 to Ano Manna in handicap (10/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago. That was disappointing but she's well weighted if she can bounce back. Disappointing overall; only beat one home behind Ano Manna at Killarney; others preferred.
10th	8 10th (8) (5.5/1 +8%) Bang Po	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(8) Bang Po 5.5/1, 25/1, good second of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago, staying on well from off the pace. Another bold bid likely. Drop back to this trip not a positive and up 2lb but will contend on that Galway form.
11th	3 11th (3) (16/1 +20%) Bright Dick	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Bright Dick 16/1, Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap (20/1) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago, never nearer. No luck in running over 1m at Galway last time; each-way chance if things fall right.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 -21%) Net A Porter Queen	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Net A Porter Queen 40/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 25/1) 32 days ago. Needs to build on that. Failed to build on initial promise last year, especially in handicaps; others preferred.
13th	20 13th (20) (40/1 +0%) Bride Tree	40 40/1(+0%)	(20) Bride Tree 40/1, 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more likely here but still quite unexposed and could outrun her likely odds.
14th	2 14th (2) (28/1 +15%) Biggerthanbigtime	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Biggerthanbigtime 28/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 22/1) 13 days ago. That was his first run for 10 months and he's expected to step up on that. Well beaten on his seasonal bow at Galway but should come on for that; others preferred.
15th	19 15th (19) (12/1 +52%) Snowdonia Song	12 12/1(+52%)	(19) Snowdonia Song 12/1, 11/1, bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Trio of respectable efforts in Gowran handicaps early in the summer; not discounted.
16th	6 16th (6) (25/1 -25%) Nyota	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Nyota 25/1, 10/3, fourth of 7 in nursery at Leopardstown (7f, soft). Off 9 months but unexposed and lot depends on whether she's fully tuned for this. Probably wants further and best watched after nearly 10 months off but worth watching.
17th	11 17th (11) (40/1 -21%) Phil's Dream	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Phil's Dream 40/1, 9/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Tongue strap back on and he should run closer to form this time. Behind a couple of these in a Navan handicap last month and gelded since; others preferred.
18th	24 18th (24) (80/1 -21%) Coach Madden	80 80/1(-21%)	(24) Coach Madden 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago, slowly away. Visored for first time. Has beaten one horse in four outings; first-time visor will need to be transformative.
19th	22 19th (22) (100/1 -100%) Sunday Evening	100 100/1(-100%)	(22) Sunday Evening 100/1, First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Cork (10f, good, 66/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Drops back in trip here but not much cause for optimism on current evidence.
20th	12 20th (12) (18/1 +45%) Rough And Tough	18 18/1(+45%)	(12) Rough And Tough 18/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft, 12/1) 7 days ago. Stable having good spell and he's not fully exposed. Showed some ability in maidens and not disgraced in a 1m handicap at Galway; more needed.
21st	17 21st (17) (12/1 -20%) Cherry Pink	12 12/1(-20%)	(17) Cherry Pink 12/1, Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 26 days ago. Yard having good and cheekpieces may galvanise her. Best run was when unlucky over this trip at Roscommon in June; cheekpieces tried here.
22nd	14 22nd (14) (66/1 -65%) Trishuli River	66 66/1(-65%)	(14) Trishuli River 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 14 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut and she's in danger of going the wrong way. Not much threat in four runs in maidens; initial mark probably stiff enough.
23rd	21 23rd (21) (125/1 -89%) Cruzer	125 125/1(-89%)	(21) Cruzer 125/1, Last of 16 in handicap (80/1) at Cork (6f, good) 16 days ago. Lot to prove at present. Well beaten on both handicap outings for his current trainer; makes little appeal.

LTO Selection:

Plenty to consider in this wide-open contest, with a tentative vote going to ES VEDRA. The daughter of Dark Angel went into plenty of notebooks when doing her best work at the finish over an extended 5f at Navan last month and is bred to relish the 7f trip here. Bright Dick suffered a luckless passage when sixth at the Galway Festival last week and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to this distance. Luke Comer's colt may prove the biggest danger, ahead of Yuzu and Rhythm King.

GOSFORD took his form to a new level when successful at Gowran a fortnight ago and on that evidence, a 3 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Bang Po and Es Vedra are just a couple of potential dangers.

One that could take beating though is the unexposed TIKTOK TIME, who should be suited by stepping back up to 7f

14:20 Curragh Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:50 Curragh Maiden 10f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2.5/1 +38%) Kadeen	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(7) Kadeen 2.5/1, Promising sort. 7/1, much improved from debut when third of 17 in maiden at this C&D (good) 44 days ago. Open to further progress and clearly of interest. Good third over C&D in June; more improvement likely, especially if the ground is decent.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 -40%) God Knows	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) God Knows 14/1, Lightly-raced filly. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Each-way claims. Third in a similar maiden at Killarney; should get further and could get into the frame.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +50%) Right Now	6 6/1(+50%)	(8) Right Now 6/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (10.3f, good, 2/1) 50 days ago. Needs to do more but still early days. Below his best at Down Royal in June when last seen and gelded since; could go well.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 +22%) Only For Me	14 14/1(+22%)	(1) Only For Me 14/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up against it. Below his best this year; tongue-tied this time but others looks to have stronger claims.
5th	9 5th (9) (3.33/1 -122%) Ultra Fine	3.33 3.33/1(-122%)	(9) Ultra Fine 3.33/1, Promising type. Second of 12 in maiden (5/1) at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Stable having good spell. Leading contender. Headed late in a Killarney maiden last month; going the right way and a major contender.
6th	13 6th (13) (40/1 -82%) Neowise	40 40/1(-82%)	(13) Neowise 40/1, Lightly-raced filly. 11/2, fifth of 7 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on 1st time. Tries a new trip in first-time blinkers; stable second-string here.
7th	14 7th (14) (2.5/1 +44%) New Phenomenon	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(14) New Phenomenon 2.5/1, Twice-raced filly. Second of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good, 25/1) 69 days ago, finishing well. Likely to step forward again, so makes plenty of appeal. Not seen since June; looks like she has been waiting for some good ground; could go close.
8th	4 8th (4) (11/1 +0%) Lakewood	11 11/1(+0%)	(4) Lakewood 11/1, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Well-beaten fourteenth of 16 to Duke De Sessa in listed race at Naas (11.8f, heavy, 100/1). Solid claims if she returns from a 9-month absence on her game. Champion booked for her belated seasonal bow and a market watch could be interesting.
9th	15 9th (15) (40/1 +0%) Struck By Churchil	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Struck By Churchil 40/1, 16,000 gns yearling, Churchill filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 12.5f), closely related to smart winner up to 9f Latin Love. Trainer going well but she's unlikely to be fully wound up. Churchill newcomer with a middle-distance pedigree but probably best watched.
10th	2 10th (2) (80/1 -21%) Sioux Eagle	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Sioux Eagle 80/1, Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 8 in maiden (50/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 69 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Soundly beaten on debut in an ordinary Gowran maiden in June; hard to see him involved.
11th	11 11th (11) (66/1 -136%) Eloxi	66 66/1(-136%)	(11) Eloxi 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Gowran (8f, soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Should improve in time, but more of a handicap type. Could get into the frame if she stays the extra two furlongs.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -60%) Churchwarden	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Churchwarden 80/1, €10,500 yearling, Parish Hall gelding. Dam 10.7f winner out of unraced half-sister to Phoenix and Moyglare Stakes winner Saoirse Abu, also third in 1000 Guineas. Best watched on debut from an unfavourable draw.
13th	12 13th (12) (100/1 -203%) Fleadhfest	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) Fleadhfest 100/1, Lightly-raced filly. 33/1, last of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good) 86 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others preferred. Blinkered here but has plenty to find to be a factor back in maiden company.
14th	6 14th (6) (200/1 -203%) Highland Train	200 200/1(-203%)	(6) Highland Train 200/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 8 in maiden (100/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good to firm) on debut 65 days ago. Hard to fancy. Detached last when hanging badly on debut at Fairyhouse in June; makes little appeal.
15th	10 15th (10) (150/1 -200%) You Are The Deal	150 150/1(-200%)	(10) You Are The Deal 150/1, Dick Whittington colt. Dam maiden half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Thanksfortellingme. Not an obvious sort on paper. Dick Whittington colt best watched on his debut.

LTO Selection:

ULTRA FINE gets a confident vote in this maiden. A well-bred son of Expert Eye, he improved from his debut effort at this track at the end of June when almost scoring at Killarney the following month, and he may not need to improve much on that form in order to strike at the third time of asking. God Knows is improving between runs and gave the impression the penny was beginning to drop at Killarney last time, while Gowran second New Phenomenon looks the pick of the Jessica Harrington-trained pair.

ULTRA FINE stepped up on his debut (after a gelding operation) when second in a maiden at Killarney and he won't need to improve much more to go one better. New Phenomenon is the clear danger on form and Kadeen also has some potential.

The Dermot Weld-trained ULTRA FINE (nap) stepped up when just touched off at Killarney last month. He is going the right way

14:50 Curragh Maiden 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:20 Curragh Handicap 10f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (8/1 +27%) Angelic Appeal	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Angelic Appeal 8/1, Creditable third of 14 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 37 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Form plateaued in maidens, drops in trip for handicap debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -125%) Take Heart	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Take Heart 9/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing 13-runner maiden (4/9) at Dundalk (8f), well on top finish. Off 156 days. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Should improve for leading yard. Dundalk maiden winner back from long absence for turf/handicap debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Mr King	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Mr King 2.75/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (9/2) at Roscommon (10f, good to soft) 40 days ago, responding well. Looks competitive on form up 7 lb. Roscommon winner progressive and should go well despite 7lb rise.
4	12 4th (12) (5/1 +44%) Slieve Binnian	5 5/1(+44%)	(12) Slieve Binnian 5/1, 15/2, good fifth of 22 in handicap at this course (9f, good) 44 days ago, never nearer. Trainer going well and mark looks workable. Derby weekend run here suggested this longer trip would suit; one to consider.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 -100%) Free Flow	20 20/1(-100%)	(9) Free Flow 20/1, Very good second of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 59 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Leopardstown second was promising but not sure this longer trip will suit; blinkers tried.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 +12%) Roaring Gallagher	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Roaring Gallagher 22/1, 11/1 and tongue strap on for first time, last of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good), left poorly placed. Off 99 days. Makes handicap debut from a tough-looking mark. Yet to fulfil initial 2yo promise; handicap debut but others preferred.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -14%) Hasten Slowly	8 8/1(-14%)	(8) Hasten Slowly 8/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 46 days ago. Up in trip. Shortlist material with more to come as stamina is drawn out. Naas winner for whom this longer trip could suit but won't want much rain.
8th	14 8th (14) (33/1 +18%) Susiesparkle	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Susiesparkle 33/1, Eighth of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Ran no sort of race after a break at Galway recently; hard to fancy on handicap debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (20/1 +0%) Duke Of Leggagh	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Duke Of Leggagh 20/1, Latest win at Navan in March. 11/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. More exposed than some but represents yard going well. Below best in both starts since July return; wants it soft, likely best watched for now.
10th	6 10th (6) (5.5/1 +39%) Moonlit Mist	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(6) Moonlit Mist 5.5/1, 9/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner maiden at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, comfortably. Another bold show likely. Ballinrobe maiden winner could have more to offer now entering handicaps.
11th	4 11th (4) (12/1 +52%) Aurifodina	12 12/1(+52%)	(4) Aurifodina 12/1, 16/1 and tongue strap on for first time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Needs to step up on that. Overall disappointing this year; down 7lb since start of the campaign but others preferred.
12th	10 12th (10) (14/1 -17%) Halla Ban	14 14/1(-17%)	(10) Halla Ban 14/1, Winner at Roscommon in May. 5/1, respectable eleventh of 18 in minor event at this course (12f, good) 44 days ago. Too keen in Apprentice Derby latest but earlier Roscommon form would put her in the mix.
13th	11 13th (11) (33/1 -65%) No Big Deal	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) No Big Deal 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft), inadequate test. Off 102 days. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut and market check essential given his connections. Not sure if he'll be able to make an immediate impact in handicaps off this mark.
14th	13 14th (13) (14/1 +13%) Hotaugustnight	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) Hotaugustnight 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 11/2) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Handicap debut at Killarney last month just okay; not sure if this longer trip will suit.

LTO Selection:

TAKE HEART has made a very pleasing start to his career with successive good runs on the all-weather at Dundalk and this appears to be a decent opportunity to follow up his win over 1m at that venue last time. Johnny Murtagh's charge won going away on that occasion so this step up in trip is likely to suit and an opening handicap mark of 80 doesn't appear out of his reach. Fellow last-time-out winner Mr King looks the biggest danger after his success over 1m 2f at Roscommon, while Free Flow should also be seriously considered.

TAKE HEART looked anything but the finished article but was still talented enough to get the job done at Dundalk in March. Back from a break and representing an excellent yard, he can find the necessary improvement to make a winning handicap/turf debut. Hasten Slowly and Mr King are just a couple of potential threats.

Preference is for SLIEVE BINNIAN, who looked as if this trip would suit here on Derby weekend

Info	Form	Odds
1	15 1st (15) (6/1 +0%) Unless	6 6/1(+0%)	(15) Unless 6/1, Useful filly. Good 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Indian Wish in listed race (9/2) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Should get the longer trip and is expected to be on the premises again. Improved of late over 1m, not sure this longer trip will suit however.
2	8 2nd (8) (1.25/1 +62%) Azazat	1.25 1.25/1(+62%)	(8) Azazat 1.25/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7½ lengths seventh of 8 to Savethelastdance in Irish Oaks (7/1) at this course (12f, soft) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Yard in good form. Should go well dropping back to a more realistic level. Smart 1m4f form, should be effective back in trip; major chance.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 +64%) Alanya	12 12/1(+64%)	(1) Alanya 12/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner here in July. Ninth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft, 10/1) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal. Done well since coming from France but plenty on at the weights here.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 -30%) Didn'thavemuchtodo	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(3) Didn'thavemuchtodo 6.5/1, Useful filly. Respectable second of 5 in minor event (11/8) at Gowran (9.5f, soft) 15 days ago. One to consider. Not quite at 2022 level so far this term but major claims nonetheless.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 -33%) Kerkiyra	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Kerkiyra 8/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Respectable 4½ lengths sixth of 11 to Layfayette in listed race (8/1) at Limerick (12.5f, good) 51 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Well worth considering. Dual C&D winner holds definite chance if back to her best.
6th	13 6th (13) (11/1 -47%) Maxux	11 11/1(-47%)	(13) Maxux 11/1, Twice-raced winner. 2/1, 7¾ lengths last of 9 to Library in listed race at Naas (10f, good to firm) 46 days ago, slowly away. Remains of interest considering the big impression she made on debut. Looked good on debut, excuses for dismal run 10 days later so worth another chance.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 +11%) Lambada	16 16/1(+11%)	(12) Lambada 16/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Gowran in April. 10/1, 14¾ lengths tenth of 11 to Shamida in Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good) 31 days ago. Likely to be back on track returned to this distance. Largely found wanting since upped in class after maiden win; others with stronger claims.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -40%) Curvature	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Curvature 28/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Leopardstown in April. 19/1, 16 lengths last of 10 to Immensitude in listed race at Longchamp (9f, good) 80 days ago. Faces a stiff task. Maiden win worked out well but lots to find on two efforts since; back from a break.
9th	14 9th (14) (14/1 +22%) Red Riding Hood	14 14/1(+22%)	(14) Red Riding Hood 14/1, Useful filly. Winner at Dundalk in April. 10 lengths ninth of 11 to Shamida in Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good, 20/1) 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Not dismissed. Faced some stiff task of late over longer trips; down in class but still others preferred.
10th	2 10th (2) (80/1 -21%) Any Dream Will Do	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Any Dream Will Do 80/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Limerick in April. Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, soft, 20/1) 6 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Out of her depth at this level at Killarney and looks to have it all to do again.
11th	9 11th (9) (25/1 -39%) Clever And Cool	25 25/1(-39%)	(9) Clever And Cool 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Naas in July. Good third of 7 in minor event (11/2) at Naas (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Deserves respect for all that she has a bit to find. Decent sort at 7f, nothing to suggest that she'll prove as effective over this longer trip.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -60%) Getawiggleon	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Getawiggleon 80/1, Fairly useful mare. 6¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Indian Wish in listed race at Killarney (8.2f, good, 40/1) 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Much improved after long absence both starts this term but still some way off this level.
13th	11 13th (11) (16/1 -100%) Gozen	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) Gozen 16/1, Twice-raced winner. 1½ lengths second of 7 to Lumiere Rock in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at this course (8f, soft, 11/2), best work finish. Off 10 months. Up in trip. Claims if she's fully tuned up. Belated seasonal return concerning but holds Group entries in coming weeks so respected.
14th	7 14th (7) (80/1 -60%) Pale Iris	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Pale Iris 80/1, Fairly useful mare. Course winner. Respectable 12¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Jackie Oh in Gr 3 at Gowran (9f, soft, 80/1) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Difficult ask. Both wins have been over much shorter trips; unconvincing of later and an unlikely player.

LTO Selection:

Dermot Weld has his string in fine form at present and he looks to have another good chance here with AZAZAT. The highest-rated in this line-up, she travelled very well in the Irish Oaks here before weakening late on and she has less on her plate this time, with the drop in distance also a plus. However, there are no shortage of dangers, most notably recent Listed runner-up Unless, who could improve for this extra yardage, and Didn'thavemuchtodo. The unexposed Gozen is interesting on her first start in 10 months having shown serious potential as a juvenile.

C&D winner KERKIYRA has the best form and, if blinkers perk her up, she can get belatedly make the breakthrough at this level. Azazat, in the same ownership, is a big player dropping back in grade and Unless should also be on the premises.

Although dropping trip AZAZAT looks the one to beat here

1	5 1st (5) (10/1 +0%) Grappa Nonino	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Grappa Nonino 10/1, Winner at Killarney in May. Respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft, 15/2) 10 days ago, having to weave through. Didn't run badly when staying on late from wide draw at Galway last time; don't rule out.
2	4 2nd (4) (14/1 -75%) Zileo	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Zileo 14/1, Creditable 3½ lengths fifth of 15 to Londonofficecallin in handicap at Killarney (14.1f, good, 8/1) 25 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Good efforts in defeat this season off much reduced mark; one to consider.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 -8%) Nostra Casa	7 7/1(-8%)	(6) Nostra Casa 7/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 10/3, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good) 48 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers back on. Good shout. In good form after 2-year absence; rain would help his chances.
4	10 4th (10) (2.75/1 +31%) Londonofficecallin	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(10) Londonofficecallin 2.75/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (7/2) at Killarney (14.1f, good) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt. Thriving for current yard; up 15lb for two flat wins but very much respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +0%) Walking On Glass	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Walking On Glass 14/1, Bit below form third of 19 in handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 22/1) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Over three years without a flat win but plenty to take from recent Galway run.
6th	9 6th (9) (16/1 +36%) Global Export	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Global Export 16/1, Respectable tenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (14.1f, good to soft, 11/1) 9 days ago. Hasn't been sighted on recent outings but Listowel third back in June gives him claims.
7th	20 7th (20) (33/1 +18%) Chilean	33 33/1(+18%)	(20) Chilean 33/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2018. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (28/1) at Naas (10.5f, soft) 6 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Last win was in 2018 and balance of recent form suggests he'll struggle to make an impact.
8th	15 8th (15) (5/1 +33%) Art Of Silence	5 5/1(+33%)	(15) Art Of Silence 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 10/3, career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 19 days ago, always holding on. Enters calculations. Bumper/hurdles winner of limited experience on flat; yard in good form so don't rule out.
9th	18 9th (18) (8/1 +50%) Tender Camilla	8 8/1(+50%)	(18) Tender Camilla 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 32 days ago. Dundalk second but not sure this longer trip will play to her strengths.
10th	8 10th (8) (14/1 +58%) Weather Alert	14 14/1(+58%)	(8) Weather Alert 14/1, Creditable ninth of 16 in maiden (66/1) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Encouraging recent Galway comeback run; Billy Lee takes over.
11th	23 11th (23) (40/1 -82%) Tenth Amendment	40 40/1(-82%)	(23) Tenth Amendment 40/1, One win from 43 Flat runs. Thirty runs since last win in 2018. Good fourth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago, better placed than most. Recent Leopardstown fourth was a seasonal-best so don't rule out entirely.
12th	19 12th (19) (20/1 +39%) Rauzan	20 20/1(+39%)	(19) Rauzan 20/1, 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Running okay in defeat of late but more needed to play a leading role here.
13th	1 13th (1) (22/1 -83%) Wild Dollar	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Wild Dollar 22/1, Course winner. 6/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at this course (10f, good) 78 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip. Back from a break and likely best watched.
14th	22 14th (22) (22/1 +21%) Bayou Belle	22 22/1(+21%)	(22) Bayou Belle 22/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (17/2) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly. Recent Bellewstown run okay but not enough to warrant serious consideration here.
15th	16 15th (16) (40/1 +0%) Brehon Star	40 40/1(+0%)	(16) Brehon Star 40/1, 13/2, below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Blinkers back on. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Back from hurdling off a fair mark but others preferred.

17th	17 17th (17) (14/1 +58%) Fire Coral	14 14/1(+58%)	(17) Fire Coral 14/1, 7½ lengths tenth of 15 to Londonofficecallin in handicap at Killarney (14.1f, good, 14/1) 25 days ago. Bellewstown second well held behind Londonofficecallin at Killarney since.

21st	21 21st (21) (40/1 -186%) Mambo De La Luna	40 40/1(-186%)	(21) Mambo De La Luna 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft, 28/1) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver upped in trip for handicap debut with rider's claim a positive.

LTO Selection:

A winner of his last three starts under both codes, LONDONOFFICECALLIN can do little wrong at present and the four-timer looks like a distinct possibility for the progressive six-year-old. An 8lb rise for his most recent win at Killarney could prove lenient and he is preferred to the capable Nostra Casa and Bella Nebula, who is of interest on her handicap debit. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Master Dunraven, Tender Camilla and Zileo.

NOSTRA CASA shaped as if still in good form in a race not run to suit when fourth at Ballinrobe so this low-mileage 7-y-o remains of interest off a fair mark. The thriving Londonofficecallin is an obvious threat, while Art of Silence has potential in this sphere on hurdles form.

As long as the ground doesn't get any quicker then it's worth taking a chance on NOSTRA CASA

3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -50%) Kayhana	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Kayhana 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Good second of 8 in minor event (7/1) at Cork (8f, good) 16 days ago, barely adequate test. Makes handicap debut. Finished well to take second behind an odds-on chance over 1m at Cork, open to improvement.

5th	13 5th (13) (10/1 +29%) Machnamh	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Machnamh 10/1, Course winner. Winner here in July. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Gowran (8f, soft, 11/4) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. Retained her existing mark after 7f course maiden win, has maintained consistent form.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Plume Noire	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Plume Noire 6.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap (8/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 56 days ago, cosily. Needs considering. Improved from her seasonal debut when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Gowran, up 4lb.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 -167%) Miss Abby Jools	20 20/1(-167%)	(10) Miss Abby Jools 20/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Limerick (8f, good to soft, 3/1) 60 days ago, driven out. Player. Winner of two of her last three starts, may be anchored by 9lb rise for 1m Limerick win.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 +0%) Dagoda	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Dagoda 14/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 9/2, very good ¾-length second of 11 to Machnamh in maiden at this course (7f, soft) 22 days ago, running on. 22-race maiden, beaten by Machnamh over 7f here last time, others preferred.

10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 +0%) Ms Eagleton	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Ms Eagleton 33/1, 14/1, respectable ninth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 66 days ago. Consistent in the first half of last season, well below her best in two outings this year.
11th	2 11th (2) (10/1 +0%) Ma Belle Artiste	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Ma Belle Artiste 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Killarney in May. 18/1, twenty first of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 51 days ago, doing too much too soon. 1m Killarney winner, down the field in the Sandringham Stakes, 7lb claim will help.
12th	12 12th (12) (25/1 +38%) My Minervina	25 25/1(+38%)	(12) My Minervina 25/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 73 days ago. Three-time winner for Jessica Harrington, weak form this year but stable in great form.
13th	9 13th (9) (8/1 -23%) Artemis Jones	8 8/1(-23%)	(9) Artemis Jones 8/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 10-runner maiden (11/4) at Limerick (7f, good) 50 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to further improvement. Placed on both Dundalk outings before 7f Limerick maiden win, should stay extra furlong.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for the hat-trick seeking BELLA BLUE EYES, who accounted for a useful field at Killarney last month. That form suggests that a mark of 88 should be workable for the three-year-old and she merits the utmost respect. The equally progressive Artemis Jones could prove to be the main threat to the selection on her handicap debut. Vadiana and Helpmeout also have strong form claims, while Kayhana and Ma Belle Artiste complete the shortlist.

A competitive finale but HELPMEOUT looks ready to strike having been just edged out by a subsequent winner at Naas last time. Progressive 3-y-os Bella Blue Eyes and Artemis Jones head the dangers.

The fact that Paddy Twomey has made several Group race entries for BELLA BLUES EYES implies that she is well handicapped
