12:45 Curragh Maiden 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form
1	3 1st (3) ( ) Cap Saint Martin	(3) Cap Saint Martin , Fairly useful form on both outings so far, run best excused when 6¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Apples And Bananas in listed race (36/10) at Deauville (8f, good to soft) a couple of months ago, very slow to break and never in a position to challenge. Sets the standard. Beaten 1l on debut before 7l defeat in Listed class in France (blew start); down in class.
2	1 2nd (1) ( ) Iron Fist	(1) Iron Fist , 12/1, offered little when twelfth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, good to firm) on debut back in June. Significantly up in trip. 12s for debut but well held; step up in trip might help.
3	6 3rd (6) ( ) Vorfreude	(6) Vorfreude , 80/1, showed plenty to work on when fifth of 14 in maiden at this course (9f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, best work finish. Can build on that here. Encouraging debut at 80-1 and should improve if handling slower ground.
4	10 4th (10) ( ) Pallatine Hills	(10) Pallatine Hills , 250/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (9f, good to soft) 18 days ago, meeting some trouble early in straight. Seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind. Hasn't shown enough at big prices in three maidens so far.
5th	13 5th (13) ( ) Alba Chiara	(13) Alba Chiara , Foaled March 17. €14,000 foal, €52,000 yearling, Almanzor filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful/ungenuine 1¼m/11f winner Nibbling and 1¾m winner Tao Te Ching. 52,000euros yearling; half-sister to 4 winners; yard 5-36 with 2yos on turf this term.
6th	2 6th (2) ( ) Paddydaddy	(2) Paddydaddy , Offered something to work on when ninth of 14 in maiden (33/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. 33s over 7f on debut and beaten 7l; should be better for the run.
7th	7 7th (7) ( ) Cumberland River	(7) Cumberland River , Foaled April 16. €6,500 yearling, Elzaam gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Mutadaawel and 2-y-o 5f winner Reveiller. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Shafaani. Elzaam gelding; half-brother to Mutadaawel; stayed on for 2nd in barrier trials.
8th	12 8th (12) ( ) Clementines Dream	(12) Clementines Dream , Ran to a fair level when sixth of 14 in maiden (125/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, having to pick way through. Each-way claims. Beaten 6l in 7f maiden here last month when 125s; extra furlong should suit.
9th	9 9th (9) ( ) Launch Time	(9) Launch Time , Foaled March 16. 1,000 gns foal, €20,000 yearling, Time Test colt. Half-brother to useful Swedish 9f winner Natasha Romanova. Seventh of 8 in barrier trial at Lopardstown in August. Well held in barrier trial in August; likely best watched.
10th	5 10th (5) ( ) Habari	(5) Habari , Foaled March 23. Churchill colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Haziya and 7f/7.4f winner Hazalaya. Market check advised. Well bred Churchill colt whose dam is a half-sister to Harzand; check market.
11th	4 11th (4) ( ) Romantic War	(4) Romantic War , Won a barrier trial at Dundalk but didn't show much when eighth of 13 in maiden (66/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) on debut back in July. Significantly up in trip. Well held at 66s on debut; trip may help but others preferred.
12th	11 12th (11) ( ) Wellwhatshappenin	(11) Wellwhatshappenin , Well held in 2 maidens in recent weeks. Triple figure odds in a couple of starts so far.
13th	8 13th (8) ( ) Folk Warrior	(8) Folk Warrior , 125/1, offered little when twelfth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago. Tailed off on debut over 7f here last month when 125s; up in trip and likely best watched.

CAP SAINT MARTIN was one of Joseph O'Brien's French runners this summer and now contests his first maiden, at median sires series level. It is a small concern he has missed the break on both starts but nonetheless showed ability at Killarney before taking fifth behind stablemate and Goffs Million winner Apples And Bananas at Deauville, with the third subsequently winning a Group 3. All those ahead of Romantic War at Naas in July have won races since - along with the 12th-placed finisher - and while Romantic War showed ability there, he now returns from a break. Vorfreude finished well over a juvenile staying distance on debut here, while Habari's winning dam is a half-sister to Harzand.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal and having already reached a fairly useful level, CAP SAINT MARTIN is selected to make it third time lucky for the in-form Joseph O'Brien yard. The main danger may emerge from Vorfreude, who showed plenty to work on when fifth at this track last month and is open to improvement. Clementines Dream, Habari and Alba Chiara round off the shortlist.

A drop in class may see CAP SAINT MARTIN (nap) break his maiden after a promising run in Listed company last time out

More to come. 5th in 7f maiden here last month and met interference; 1m may suit; respected.
2	10 2nd (10) (4/5 +60%) Nobler	0.8 4/5(+60%)	(10) Nobler 4/5, Promising individual. 10/3, second of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago.

3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 -100%) I Am Me	10 10/1(-100%)	(4) I Am Me 10/1, Promising type. Off 5 months, 5/2, fifth of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

NOBLER chased home a subsequent Listed winner last month and, were the ground to ease, has prior form on yielding to soft. A 120,000gns purchase and a sibling to three black-type performers, he was green when third in an ordinary Galway maiden in August but progressed with a useful run at Listowel. He tackles seemingly lesser opponents than Right And True today. Ja'marr showed plenty of ability in a hot maiden on his June debut and while the runner-up, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth have all won since, his subsequent Killarney run was underwhelming and he hasn't raced since. What's Your Game is out of a Listed winner and cost 125,000gns as a yearling.

NOBLER has made a very good start, finding just a subsequent listed winner too strong at Listowel last time, and he can open his account here. Thebelmontgangster is feared most ahead of I Am Me.

This maiden has a bit more depth than division one with the tentative vote going to NOBLER having shown promise in 2 runs so far

Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5.7f winner Soldier Lions and 2-y-o 5f winner Takana. Interesting newcomer potentially well drawn. Golden Horde filly; £52,000 yearling; speedy pedigree and market support worth noting.
7th	1 7th (1) (25/1 -79%) Gran Habano	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Gran Habano 25/1, Held in a listed race on debut then eighth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 149 days ago. Off since and gelded. Retains potential. 8l 4th in Listed race on debut but didn't build on that in a maiden; gelded.

EAST HAMPTON is already familiar with competing over this course and distance and drops to a lesser maiden on his return following a break. He met trouble in running when showing promise on debut in May and, while beaten twice subsequently when racing too keenly, he still shaped with enough promise to suggest he can win this. Asdana has bumped into some smart fillies at both Gowran and Tipperary and is interesting now dropped in distance. Colin Keane rides 42,000-pound April breeze-up purchase Cali Case and he should be noted for any market support on debut.

There is more to come from EAST HAMPTON back from a break and he gets the vote over newcomers Cali Case and Classical Symphony.

There was plenty of promise in BALLINTOGHER's C&D run when last seen and he should handle softer conditions

14:25 Curragh Handicap 5f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (7/1 +42%) Art Of Unity	7 7/1(+42%)	(13) Art Of Unity 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in October. Good fourth of 18 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago, running on. Has to be taken seriously. In good form of late, just 1lb wrong and has to enter calculations again.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +40%) Rathbranchurch	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Rathbranchurch 9/2, Good fourth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 40/1) 5 days ago. Looks competitive on form back on his correct mark. Fine Naas run last Saturday; due to go up 3lb in future; good draw and big run expected.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +40%) Mount Ruapehu	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Mount Ruapehu 12/1, 14/1, creditable 2½ lengths seventh of 17 to Lismacbryan in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Visor fitted back over the minimum trip. Back to probably his trip and visor tried; don't rule out from potentially good draw.
4	16 4th (16) (33/1 +0%) Babyface	33 33/1(+0%)	(16) Babyface 33/1, 11/1, bit below form 4½ lengths sixth of 12 to Art of Unity in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Must improve. Regressive maiden hard to see him getting into the mix although does have a good draw.
5th	14 5th (14) (33/1 -32%) Stanhope	33 33/1(-32%)	(14) Stanhope 33/1, Latest win at Navan in May. Bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago. Better for recent comeback run; 1lb wrong.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 -11%) Irish Rumour	5 5/1(-11%)	(5) Irish Rumour 5/1, Winner at Navan in September. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 11/4) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt. Fine form since returning from a break; possibly not the ideal draw but still respected.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 +10%) Saturn Seven	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(7) Saturn Seven 9/2, C&D winner. Good head second of 17 to Lismacbryan in handicap (16/1) at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Enters calculations. Just denied here 12 days ago over 6f; definite contender if overcoming this low draw.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 -83%) Lismacbryan	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Lismacbryan 22/1, Course winner. Winner here in October. 4/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. That race may have come too soon on the back of a career-best victory. Recent 6f winner here but beaten since; drop back to 5f may not be ideal.
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -150%) Distillate	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Distillate 40/1, Latest win at Cork in September. Sixth of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Bellewstown (5f, soft) 15 days ago. Bounce back required. Never got competitive at Bellewstown latest and bit to find with Rathbranchurch on that.
10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 +24%) Sporting Hero	25 25/1(+24%)	(3) Sporting Hero 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 33/1) 19 days ago. Stiff task in C&D premier handicap here latest; will appreciate return to this grade.
11th	10 11th (10) (6/1 +25%) Mymomentintime	6 6/1(+25%)	(10) Mymomentintime 6/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Cork (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Return to 5f will suit. 2022 winner has modest recent Cork run to bounce back from; good draw.
12th	12 12th (12) (16/1 -33%) Gegenpressing	16 16/1(-33%)	(12) Gegenpressing 16/1, 25/1, very good ½-length third of 17 to Lismacbryan in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, running on. Recent third to Lismacbryan was fine in the circumstances; big chance if it rains.
13th	1 13th (1) (16/1 -113%) Hero Of The Hour	16 16/1(-113%)	(1) Hero Of The Hour 16/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (5f) 13 days ago, well on top finish. 9 lb higher now back on turf but clearly in excellent order. Recent Dundalk winner hit with a 9lb rise and up to a career-high mark; doesn't want rain.
14th	2 14th (2) (22/1 -38%) Dontspoilasale	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Dontspoilasale 22/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 16/1) 12 days ago. Never landed a blow over C&D 12 days ago but previous Down Royal run puts him in the mix.
15th	9 15th (9) (33/1 -32%) Eruption	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Eruption 33/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 13/2, 8¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Hero of The Hour in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 13 days ago. Higher turf mark is justified. Recent AW runs well below best, more expected of back on turf.
16th	17 16th (17) (100/1 +0%) Stella Acclamata	100 100/1(+0%)	(17) Stella Acclamata 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 20 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Not easy to make a case for. First attempt at this trip and hard to make a case for.
17th	15 17th (15) (14/1 +44%) Wild Mountain	14 14/1(+44%)	(15) Wild Mountain 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 87 days ago. AW winner is 0-14 on turf; 2lb wrong here and others preferred.

SATURN SEVEN won last year's renewal off this mark of 68 and is again likely to encounter easy ground conditions. She defeated the reopposing Art Of Unity by a short head last year and, while winless in six runs this year, she bounced back to form recently at the track when second. Lismacbryan defeated the selection that day but was subsequently well held at Navan. The aforementioned six-time winner Art Of Unity has been running well under his 10lb claimer recently, while Gegenpressing also comes into calculations.

Any number to consider but RATHBRANCHURCH ran a belter from 4 lb out of the weights when fourth at Naas on Saturday and back on his correct mark, he seems sure to go well. Art of Unity, Hero of The Hour and Lismacbryan are just a trio of potential dangers.

With the prospect of the ground easing GEGENPRESSING is taken to reverse recent course form with Lismacbryan and Saturn Seven

15:00 Curragh Maiden 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (6/5 +47%) Bard Of Avon	1.2 6/5(+47%)	(5) Bard Of Avon 6/5, Thrice-raced colt. Sixth of 9 in maiden (evens) at Dundalk (10.7f) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Worth another chance with this trip sure to suit. Fairly useful form so far with potential for more now upped in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 +56%) Jack Mcnamara	22 22/1(+56%)	(2) Jack Mcnamara 22/1, 25/1, fourteenth of 23 in maiden at this course (8f, heavy) on debut. Off 180 days. Significantly up in trip. Too keen and didn't get home on debut here back in April on heavy; first run since.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -27%) Hypnosis	7 7/1(-27%)	(7) Hypnosis 7/1, Twice-raced colt. Eighth of 9 in maiden (9/4) at Tipperary (9f, heavy). Off 12 months. Significantly up in trip and couldn't be in better hands. Back from year's absence; brother to High Definition bred to appreciate the trip.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -40%) Another Night	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Another Night 14/1, Tenth of 22 in maiden at this course (10f, good, 16/1) 54 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Some debut promise but latest run here leaves her with a bit to find; cheekpieces tried.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/2 -11%) Liltia	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(10) Liltia 5/2, Excellent second of 10 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good, 10/1) 26 days ago. Stable in good form and she sets a solid standard. Strong-finishing Navan second worth a try at this longer trip and big player if she stays.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 -13%) Kaptain Bay	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Kaptain Bay 9/1, Fourth of 15 in juvenile hurdle (15/8) at Gowran (16f, good) 12 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap combination on for first time. Placed here in April; recent hurdles form could give him a fitness edge.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -45%) Dr Waksman	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Dr Waksman 16/1, Fifth of 18 in maiden at this course (10f, good to soft, 150/1) 18 days ago, finishing well. That was a big step up on previous efforts. Eyecatcher over 1m2f here last month; step up in trip here could bring more improvement.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -10%) Collaborative	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Collaborative 22/1, Promising sort. 40/1, fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy). Off 8 months. Fair form sole previous Flat start. Promising fourth in this race last year for Dermot Weld but not much since over hurdles.
9th	11 9th (11) (250/1 -25%) Sea Of Beauty	250 250/1(-25%)	(11) Sea Of Beauty 250/1, 200/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor form so far over shorter, easily overlooked.
10th	4 10th (4) (200/1 -100%) Florance	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Florance 200/1, 33/1 and tongue strap on for first time, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 10 days ago. Flat debut (had lots of exposure in bumpers). Modest hurdles form of late and hard to see her having an impact here on Flat debut.
11th	3 11th (3) (150/1 -275%) Milverton	150 150/1(-275%)	(3) Milverton 150/1, Making Flat debut. 13/2, last of 7 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, good) 29 days ago. Tongue strap retained. Perth bumper second soundly beaten at Kelso since; best watched.

This looks quite open and with no standout name in the line-up, it might be worth taking a chance on DR WAKSMAN. He had a far-from-smooth passage when last seen but still managed to finish a never-nearer fifth, with this step up in trip likely to play to his strengths. Bard Of Avon didn't act on the surface at Dundalk and a reproduction of his penultimate effort would probably be good enough to take a contest of this quality. A brother to Group 2 winner High Definition, Hypnosis is of definite interest returning from a lengthy absence, while Liltia, Another Night (first-time cheekpieces) and Kaptain Bay are others for the shortlist.

LILTIA took her form to a new level when runner-up at Navan a month ago and a repeat of that may well suffice for her in-form yard. This trip seems sure to suit Bard of Avon so he's a huge threat, while Hypnosis surely has a bigger performance in him given the connections he represents.

Preference is for DR WAKSMAN, who flew home here last month over 1m2f after getting into all kinds of trouble

2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 -13%) Fleetfoot	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(2) Fleetfoot 9/4, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who showed benefit of his belated reappearance run when second of 9 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Arrives here fresher than most and he's one to be interested in again. Missed a year but came on from return when 2nd last week and he's won on heavy.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 -22%) Scholarship	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(3) Scholarship 11/4, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Listowel (12f, good to soft) 24 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Shortlist material. Beaten half length (C&D) in June and 2nd again latest; drop in trip on slower ground fine.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -60%) Fiver Friday	8 8/1(-60%)	(1) Fiver Friday 8/1, Enjoying a fine season and resumed winning ways in a race run to suit at Naas (10.4f) in August. Excuses both starts since, set a stiff task when eighth of 9 to Bellezza in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (10.7f) 20 days ago. This more suitable. 3 wins already this year; excuses on last 2 starts but best form with good in the going.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -60%) Our Town	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Our Town 40/1, 25/1, first run since leaving John & Sean Quinn when last of 4 in minor event at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 30 days ago. That run may have been needed on the back of 4 months off and this promises to reveal more. Hasn't beaten a rival in 3 runs since switching from France.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -33%) Encosta	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Encosta 16/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in May. 18/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good). Off 115 days. Back down in trip. Winner in May but well below form twice since; lacks a recent run.

After finishing a fine seventh in the valuable Northfields Handicap over C&D on Champions Weekend, APERCU will appreciate this drop in class. Tried in blinkers for the first time now, she should be able to confirm Northfields form with the reopposing Fleetfoot. Ger O'Leary has his horses in fine form of late, with his Scholarship appearing the main danger. A runner-up three times from six starts this season, he certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Encosta warrants respect, as does four-time winner Fiver Friday.

SCHOLARSHIP's very best efforts this term have come with blinkers enlisted, notably when finishing runner-up at Listowel 24 days ago. Evidently on a handy mark, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that effort stepping back down in trip. Fleetfoot showed the benefit of his belated reappearance when runner-up himself recently and he's next best, ahead of Fiver Friday.

1m2f on testing ground could be the answer for SCHOLARSHIP who went close over C&D and was back to form with a 2nd recently

Fair on the all weather and back to a potentially lenient mark. Top claimer booked, will handle conditions and this trip should be within her range.

Can make his presence felt. Never-nearer 4th at Listowel; step up in trip should help; soft ground an unknown.
3	18 3rd (18) (18/1 -50%) Moutarde	18 18/1(-50%)	(18) Moutarde 18/1, Latest win at Roscommon in September. 7/2, good third of 10 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 10 days ago. Up in trip and ought to be thereabouts. Enjoys soft and was well-backed when third at Killarney (1m3f) latest; possibilities.

Respectable 7 lengths fourth of 14 to Sir Allen in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 11/1) 24 days ago. Not sure to back up good Listowel fourth if the ground is on the soft side.

Scored at Listowel in September before an excellent second of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Thurles (16.4f, good) 7 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark.

Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (5/1) at this course (12f, good to soft) 12 days ago, driven clear. Needs considering.

A case can be made for many in this ultra-competitive affair. Successful three times in six starts since joining Denis Hogan, POLEMON might still be ahead of the handicapper on a mark of 79. The Frankel five-year-old is unproven over this trip but is still sure to have plenty of supporters, judging by the manner of his latest victory. A fast-finishing second after missing the break at Thurles last week, it'll come as no surprise if Sir Allen manages to go a place better, while recent winners Paradise Lost and Arch Enemy are of definite interest. One of four Gavin Cromwell-trained representatives in the line-up, Club Manager is another leading hope.

This is wide open but SIR ALLEN can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent Thurles second so edges the vote. Gavin Cromwell's duo Pachmena and Club Manager must enter calculations, while the likes of Curious Bride, Scatchwah, Cast A Spell and Paradise Lost all need factoring in too.

SCATCHWAH hit the line hard when third here latest. He should relish the extra two furlongs and conditions will be fine

Creditable 1¼ lengths fifth of 18 to Rosato in handicap (20/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration.

17th	12 17th (12) (22/1 -38%) Pink Oxalis	22 22/1(-38%)	(12) Pink Oxalis 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Cork (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Something to find on form. Fourth at Cork over 6f on her handicap debut; low mileage and could improve.
18th	16 18th (16) (33/1 -136%) Shaaden	33 33/1(-136%)	(16) Shaaden 33/1, Respectable 4¼ lengths seventh of 28 to Goldmoyne in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 13/2) 61 days ago, better placed than most. 7lb claimer takes over so weighted to go well but unproven in the mud.
19th	18 19th (18) (40/1 -60%) Ragtime Milly	40 40/1(-60%)	(18) Ragtime Milly 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up. Fast-finishing 4th at Gowran; she's not out of things if she handles the conditions.
20th	4 20th (4) (12/1 -20%) I Bid You Ajou	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) I Bid You Ajou 12/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7.1f, soft, 7/2) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Good 2nd behind the reopposing Goldmoyne over C&D in August; 4lb better off; cheekpieces.
21st	6 21st (6) (50/1 -100%) Mogwli	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Mogwli 50/1, Creditable 2¾ lengths seventh of 18 to Rosato in handicap (22/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, having to pick way through. Back up in trip. Trainer going well. Worse off at the weights with Eastern Wind; trip was on the sharp side at Navan latest.
22nd	14 22nd (14) (22/1 -83%) Blue Wood	22 22/1(-83%)	(14) Blue Wood 22/1, 7/2, good third of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Colin Keane maintains the partnership but he seemingly wants decent ground.
23rd	9 23rd (9) (25/1 -56%) Downforce	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Downforce 25/1, 25/1, respectable 1¾ lengths sixth of 18 to Rosato in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, having to pick way through. Up in trip. Yard in good form. Visor back on. Leading contender. 6th behind Rosato at Navan; 2lb better off with that rival; contender if the heavens open.
24th	8 24th (8) (12/1 -20%) Zaragoza	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Zaragoza 12/1, Course winner. Winner here in June. 13/2, creditable fourth of 17 in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, hampered. Ahead of Rosato at Bellewstown latest; few miles on the clock but unproven on soft.
25th	22 25th (22) (22/1 -175%) Rosato	22 22/1(-175%)	(22) Rosato 22/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, well-backed 4/1) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Good shout again. Unlucky fifth of 17 here earlier this month but made amends when winning at Navan; chance.
26th	10 26th (10) (40/1 -21%) Hemight	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Hemight 40/1, 10/1, first run since leaving J. A. Stack when twelfth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 46 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Low-key yard debut on first try at 1m1f last month; visored; difficult to recommend.
27th	30 27th (30) (66/1 -65%) Tall Story	66 66/1(-65%)	(30) Tall Story 66/1, Thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Now 0-41 after latest no show on first try over hurdles at Gowran; easy to look elsewhere.

Already a dual C&D winner, GOLDMOYNE should give a good account of himself. He beat 27 rivals when leading from pillar to post here in August, finishing a respectable third on his most recent visit to the venue. After making the breakthrough at Navan recently, Rosato will be well fancied to follow up, while Bellewstown winner Eastern Wind is another leading hope. Dark Viper, I Bid You Ajou, Little Keelie and Hale Bopp all warrant respect after filling the runner-up spot when last seen.

GLENCULLEN again ran well despite meeting trouble here last time and is very much threatening to come good soon. Navan winner Rosato and Little Keilee are feared, with veteran Downforce arguably the pick of the three from his yard.

A minefield to solve but a winner on this card last year, RACING ROYALTY might be primed to return to the winner's enclosure

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
