1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +60%) El Bello		2 2/1(+60%)																															(1) El Bello 2/1, First run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D (8/1) 7 days ago by ½ length from Pulse of Shanghai, pushed out. Remains well treated on old form. Got the better of Pulse Of Shanghai here last week, can make his presence felt again.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 +40%) James Henry		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) James Henry 12/1, 17/2 and visored for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 47 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers back on. Drop in trip is unlikely to suit. Second on three occasions including over 1m at this venue last year, placed once this term.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -60%) Gobi Star		8 8/1(-60%)																															(3) Gobi Star 8/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good 1¼ lengths fifth of 22 to Navorrosse in handicap (10/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Course winner over 6f; decent form in turf sprints lately, never placed at this trip.
4	14 4th (14) (16/1 +43%) Sunset Nova		16 16/1(+43%)																															(14) Sunset Nova 16/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Down Royal in June. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 7 days ago. Boasts a solid overall record at the venue (5-40 nine places), not at his best here lately.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +20%) Pulse Of Shanghai		4 4/1(+20%)																															(8) Pulse Of Shanghai 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirty six runs since last win in 2021. Creditable ½-length second of 14 to El Bello in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. Four-time course winner, can be in the mix again following last week's second to El Billo.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +0%) Princess Rajj		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Princess Rajj 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and she's slipped to a handy mark. May have needed her run here 12 days ago having had a break, should be sharper now.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/1 -38%) Chica Power		11 11/1(-38%)																															(5) Chica Power 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 14-runner claimer at this C&D (12/1) 12 days ago, driven out. Respected. Has gone up 6lb for a recent claiming race success, has more on her plate in a handicap.
8th	2 8th (2) (13/2 +0%) International Lady		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) International Lady 13/2, Unreliable type. Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Arrives in good order bur he's hard to win with. Two near-misses over C&D lately, has gone up 6lb now but rider's 5lb claim will be a help.
9th	11 9th (11) (80/1 -21%) Almost An Angel		80 80/1(-21%)																															(11) Almost An Angel 80/1, Unreliable type. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 33/1) 8 days ago. Difficult ask. Has struggled for form since leaving David Evans, fair run at Listowel three starts ago.
10th	12 10th (12) (28/1 +15%) Maestro Stick		28 28/1(+15%)																															(12) Maestro Stick 28/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Others make more appeal. Both wins have come over C&D, recent form provides little encouragement, up against it.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Stanhope		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Stanhope 33/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good length fourth of 22 to Navorrosse in handicap (18/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 21 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Not ruled out. No wins in 2023 but worth considering after a creditable fourth behind Navorrosse at Navan.
12th	6 12th (6) (15/2 -36%) Amemri		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(6) Amemri 15/2, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 15/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, well on top finish. Boasts a solid AW record and should go well again. Up 7lb for winning here last month, not guaranteed to uphold form with Mullacash Buzz.
13th	13 13th (13) (25/1 -79%) Navorrosse		25 25/1(-79%)																															(13) Navorrosse 25/1, Latest win at Navan in October. 12/1, below form eighth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Not one to write off. Navan winner last month, met some trouble when attempting to follow up at the Curragh.

LTO Selection:

A very competitive heat likely to be run at a good clip. SUNSET NOVA has an each-way chance at a price. He has dropped to a very lowly mark and Amy Jo Hayes takes 7lb off his back. He certainly knows where the winning post is with nine career victories and is the sort to pop up with a light weight on his back. International Lady has only been beaten by a head and a short head on her last couple of starts over C&D and should come home well.Pulse Of Shanghai has been placed in his last three outings and looks set for another big run. Recent winners Amemri, El Bello and Chica Power bring plenty to the contest while confirmed front-runner Mullacash Buzz has to be respected albeit stall 15 is far from ideal.

GOBI STAR has been in good order on turf recently but he's better on this surface and looks potentially very well treated, so he's worth chancing. El Bello is worthy of interest on the back of a winning debut for his current stable and the in-form International Lady warrants consideration despite her quirks.

With 5lb claimed INTERNATIONAL LADY has a reasonable chance of defying the 6lb extra she has picked up for two recent seconds

1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +29%) Skontonovski		2 2/1(+29%)																															(3) Skontonovski 2/1, 5-time course winner. Good second of 13 in handicap (3/1) at this course (8f) 5 days ago, clear of rest. Worth a chance to go one better. Every chance after a recent short head second over 1m, most of his best form at that trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 -75%) Notforalongtime		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) Notforalongtime 14/1, Course winner. 40/1, below form tenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Should benefit from a return to AW. Dual 1m course winner, runner-up in a 1m claimer here in February, unwise to rule out.
3	11 3rd (11) (17/2 -6%) Jazzy Dancer		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(11) Jazzy Dancer 17/2, One win from 26 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, last of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 67 days ago, badly hampered. Significantly back up in trip. Had been in good form prior to latest effort, so makes plenty of appeal. Generally dependable this season, had a valid excuse for disappointing Navan performance.
4	1 4th (1) (7/4 +30%) Storm Eric		1.75 7/4(+30%)																															(1) Storm Eric 7/4, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 7 days ago, just holding on. Should go well again. Hit with an extra 8lb for a narrow win here last Wednesday, may remain competitive.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -10%) Indiana Grey		11 11/1(-10%)																															(5) Indiana Grey 11/1, 4-time course winner. 12/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 47 days ago. Not dismissed. Four wins and six places from 32 starts at this venue, good runs over 1m last twice.
6th	14 6th (14) (14/1 +30%) Theriverrunsdeep		14 14/1(+30%)																															(14) Theriverrunsdeep 14/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form 5 lengths fifth of 14 to Storm Eric in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 7 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Three-time sprint winner here in 2021, fair fifth behind Storm Eric over C&D last week.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 +11%) Master Garvey		16 16/1(+11%)																															(8) Master Garvey 16/1, Sixteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 12/1) 8 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Generally consistent between March and June, chance if excused last week's poor turf run.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 -10%) Circles		11 11/1(-10%)																															(7) Circles 11/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Potentially well treated if she can build on that. Back-to-back C&D wins in February, signs of a return to form when fifth here last week.
9th	12 9th (12) (66/1 -164%) Memorial Verse		66 66/1(-164%)																															(12) Memorial Verse 66/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Much too free here last month on first run after a break, twice fourth over C&D in March.
10th	13 10th (13) (40/1 -21%) Red Cymbal		40 40/1(-21%)																															(13) Red Cymbal 40/1, Course winner. Two wins from 65 Flat runs. Forty eight runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Has managed two placed efforts in recent months but his long losing sequence may continue.
11th	4 11th (4) (66/1 -32%) El Padre		66 66/1(-32%)																															(4) El Padre 66/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (28/1). Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. Laytown winner for Adrian Murray in 2021, two poor runs at this venue, off for a long time.
12th	6 12th (6) (80/1 -60%) Zero Fighter		80 80/1(-60%)																															(6) Zero Fighter 80/1, Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 56 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Noel Meade. Won a claimer at Roscommon in May, questions to answer after his three most recent start.
13th	10 13th (10) (200/1 -100%) Devious Dreamer		200 200/1(-100%)																															(10) Devious Dreamer 200/1, 50/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at this C&D. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Garry Bernard Caldwell. Poor form for several different trainers since 2021 Gowran win, last of 14 here in March.
14th	9 14th (9) (18/1 +28%) My Little Tip		18 18/1(+28%)																															(9) My Little Tip 18/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Likely to be back on his game. All three wins came on turf in Britain in September 2021, no sign of that standard lately.

LTO Selection:

SKONTONOVSKI just lost out by a short head over further at this track last Friday and compensation could be on the agenda. He is a horse that can be played fast and late, so his draw in gate 14 isn't a concern. Indiana Grey is a very consistent sort and Jack Kearney has a good record on her. The pair seem destined to be heavily involved. Storm Eric is a real credit to Jamie Flynn and brought up his second Dundalk success at the start of the month. He is capable of a strong showing despite the handicapper hiking him up 8lb for winning by a short head. Circles and Polytrack newcomer Master Garvey aren't out of it while second-reserve Hero Of The Hour is on a particularly threatening mark.

SKONTONOVSKI has an excellent track record and was clear of the remainder when runner-up here 5 days ago, so he's taken to go one better if the race doesn't come too soon. Jazzy Dancer and Storm Eric look the chief dangers.

A winner off 63 here in the past THERIVERRUNSDEEP is on the 47 mark now and may be able to take advantage

1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +59%) Sea Chariot		4.5 9/2(+59%)																															(1) Sea Chariot 9/2, Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ran his first disappointing race returned to handicap company when twelfth of 18 (22/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 3 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running. Maiden winner here in March back from a break and drops in grade; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 +17%) Not Just Yet		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(7) Not Just Yet 15/2, Returned to form when fifth of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy) 9 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Kept to 1m so others make more appeal. Only second AW run here and wide draw makes this tough.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +18%) Giselles Defence		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Giselles Defence 9/1, Rare below-par effort when tenth of 19 in handicap (10/1) at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Will need to bounce back quickly but that's entirely possible. Maiden drops in trip here for AW handicap debut; high enough mark.
4	10 4th (10) (11/1 -69%) Little Keilee		11 11/1(-69%)																															(10) Little Keilee 11/1, Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap (8/1) at Galway (7f, heavy) 9 days ago, hampered late on. Looks on a fair mark so not dismissed. Solid turf form brings her into the mix although remains unproven over this trip.
5th	12 5th (12) (8/1 +27%) Dromantine		8 8/1(+27%)																															(12) Dromantine 8/1, Course winner. Failed to build on previous promise when eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 7 days ago. Hood on 1st time, cheekpieces reapplied. Fancied to go close. Upset in stalls here a week ago; headgear combination tried but stamina concerns remain.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +33%) Mere Accountant		6 6/1(+33%)																															(5) Mere Accountant 6/1, Course winner. Again below form when eighth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at this course (7f) 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Not clearest of runs on latest when never landing a blow; bit to find but don't rule out.
7th	8 7th (8) (3/1 +14%) Hijo De La Luna		3 3/1(+14%)																															(8) Hijo De La Luna 3/1, Matched previous form returning from 5 months off when fourth of 16 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft, 10/3) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed maiden having AW debut off what looks a workable mark; draw a negative.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 +20%) Rio Largo		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Rio Largo 16/1, Latest win at Galway in July. Made little impression when twelfth of 15 in handicap there (8.3f, heavy, 25/1) 9 days ago. In-form rider's 7lb claim a positive but this trip stretches him.
9th	14 9th (14) (25/1 -108%) Hasten Slowly		25 25/1(-108%)																															(14) Hasten Slowly 25/1, Latest win at Naas in June. 14/1, first run since leaving Noel Meade when third of 14 in claimer at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Enters calculations back in a handicap. Down to a nice mark, trip and draw in her favour so could go well.
10th	2 10th (2) (66/1 -313%) Winemaker		66 66/1(-313%)																															(2) Winemaker 66/1, Latest win at Listowel in June. 16/1, below form after 8 weeks off when last of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 33 days ago. Better for last month's comeback run but remains unproven over this far.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/1 -47%) Garrick Painter		11 11/1(-47%)																															(4) Garrick Painter 11/1, Produced best effort to date when second of 12 in claimer at this course (10.7f, 7/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Daniel James Murphy. Claimed after second in 1m2f claimer last month; return to this trip to suit and good draw.
12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 -127%) Ocean Symphony		25 25/1(-127%)																															(11) Ocean Symphony 25/1, Failed to improve in first-time cheekpieces on first outing since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter after 5 months off when seventh of 11 in maiden at this course (7f, 10/1) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Better for recent comeback; tongue tied for handicap debut, well drawn and yard in-form.
13th	9 13th (9) (22/1 -10%) Toughen Up		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Toughen Up 22/1, 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ran one of this season's poorer races when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 4 months ago. Could feature if fully tuned up. Disappointing polytrack debut in July when too keen in cheekpieces; back from a break.
14th	13 14th (13) (125/1 -150%) Navalny		125 125/1(-150%)																															(13) Navalny 125/1, First run since leaving Henry de Bromhead when last of 14 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 7 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Down 25lb from initial mark so can't be readily ruled out.

This is quite a drop in class for SEA CHARIOT that he can take advantage of. He has been unplaced in his last three races on turf albeit at a higher level, but it is worth noting that he delivered in a median auction maiden over 7f at this track in March. The top-weight just gets into this race off a mark of 75 and should make his presence felt. Hijo De La Luna made steady improvement in three races on grass and can get involved on handicap and Polytrack debut. The progeny of his sire have a fair record on all-weather surfaces. Little Keilee has a close third at Dundalk in the formbook and arrives on the back of placed efforts at Bellewstown and Galway. Bottom-weight Hasten Slowly shouldn't be underestimated while Kempton winner Garrick Painter is one to note on his first start for Noel Kelly with Seamie Heffernan booked.

Another wide-open handicap and at forecast longer odds, it may pay to side with DROMANTINE, who is down to a career-low mark and has a first-time hood applied along with cheekpieces worn previously. Toughen Up produced a rare below-par performance at this track 4 months ago and he's feared most provide he's ready to roll. Handicap debutant Hijo de La Luna and Little Keilee complete the shortlist.

A tentative vote goes to recent claiming third HASTEN SLOWLY who will appreciate the return to this longer trip and has a good draw

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +20%) Bright N Shine		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Bright N Shine 4/1, First run since leaving P. F. McEnery when respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy, 9/4) 23 days ago. Stamina test too much on latest so not one to rule out back in trip on better ground.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/5 +56%) Neverfindanother U		2.2 11/5(+56%)																															(1) Neverfindanother U 11/5, 11/2, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Up 5 lb. Last month's C&D winner up 5lb but remains in this grade so respected from a good draw.
3	9 3rd (9) (25/1 -56%) Kartayaz		25 25/1(-56%)																															(9) Kartayaz 25/1, Three-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 23 days ago. Merits consideration. Three-time C&D winner below best on turf but can't be ruled out given his record here.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +43%) Doctor Grace		4 4/1(+43%)																															(7) Doctor Grace 4/1, Course winner. 10/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good C&D fourth last time gives him claims; cheekpieces tried.
5th	14 5th (14) (14/1 -75%) Curzon Queen		14 14/1(-75%)																															(14) Curzon Queen 14/1, Very good head third of 14 to Neverfindanother U in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, having run of race. Possibilities. Recent C&D third to Neverfindanother U; good draw and could give another bold show.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -23%) Albatala		8 8/1(-23%)																															(6) Albatala 8/1, Good second of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Curragh second; interesting if she can transfer that form to AW here from a good draw.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +15%) Action Motion		28 28/1(+15%)																															(2) Action Motion 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft, 20/1) 72 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Hurdles winner for Denis Hogan; 0-10 on the flat and of limited appeal.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 +0%) Bigz Belief		18 18/1(+0%)																															(11) Bigz Belief 18/1, 18/1, respectable ninth of 21 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Back in trip for AW debut and others preferred.
9th	12 9th (12) (11/1 -57%) Evening Verse		11 11/1(-57%)																															(12) Evening Verse 11/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 84 days ago. Has good chance on form. C&D winner last year who needs to improve on this year's turf form; wide draw a negative.
13	13 |U| (13) (40/1 +0%) Crystal Pool		40 40/1(+0%)																															(13) Crystal Pool 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in claimer at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft). Off 91 days. Rejoined yard after leaving C.Moore. Back with original trainer may spark a revival; 4lb wrong but rider's claim negates that.
10th	8 10th (8) (10/1 -11%) Mosaaheb		10 10/1(-11%)																															(8) Mosaaheb 10/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (12f) 40 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Best form here has been at 1m4f, not sure this return to shorter trip will suit.
11th	3 11th (3) (28/1 +30%) Bardo Contiguo		28 28/1(+30%)																															(3) Bardo Contiguo 28/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 16/1) 23 days ago. 9lb higher now. Plenty to find on form. Struggled despite much reduced turf mark this year; 12lb higher AW mark so has it to do.
12th	5 12th (5) (28/1 -273%) Mysterious Maestro		28 28/1(-273%)																															(5) Mysterious Maestro 28/1, 9/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Recent Chelmsford winner not fully proven at this trip but can't rule out.

LTO Selection:

DOCTOR GRACE made up plenty of ground for fourth on her first attempt at this trip in September and there should be more to come from her. She has winning form over 7f at this track and gets first-time cheekpieces. Albatala has to be respected on Polytrack debut after being pipped by a nose in a Curragh handicap over this trip. Mosaaheb stayed on for third over 1m4f here in September, so has to enter the equation although the drop in trip doesn't look an obvious positive. Curzon Queen was only collared in the closing stages over C&D last month before finishing third. She is drawn to attack again in stall three. That was a slowly-run race, though, so the form could be suspect. Neverfindanother U won that race and jockey Robert Whearty can make use of his full claim in this contest. Chelmsford City-winner Mysterious Maestro is one to monitor in the market on Irish debut for Thomas Cleary.

The vote goes to EVENING VERSE, who hasn't got her head in front for a while but she has slipped back to her last winning mark. Mosaaheb put in a good shift back in this sphere when third over 1½m here last time and he merits respect, along with Albatala and Curzon Queen.

Last month's C&D winner NEVERFINDANOTHER U can confirm the form with Curzon Queen with her rider now able to use his full claim

Last of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Needs others to falter.

Creditable third of 14 in handicap (13/2) at this course (12f) 7 days ago, effort under 2f out and keeping on. Good claims dropping back down in trip.

4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +20%) Darkened		8 8/1(+20%)																															(2) Darkened 8/1, Two wins from 46 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 20/1) 7 days ago, keeping on final 1f.

9th	6 9th (6) (11/2 +73%) Riyami		5.5 11/2(+73%)																															(6) Riyami 11/2, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable eighth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Blinkers tried last time now discarded for AW debut; hard to fancy.
10th	14 10th (14) (11/1 +21%) Pollanassa		11 11/1(+21%)																															(14) Pollanassa 11/1, 13/2, thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 35 days ago, dropping away final 1f. Others preferred making polytrack debut. Down from opening mark of 72 to lowly 45 now; bad draw.
11th	11 11th (11) (28/1 -27%) Mater Matuta		28 28/1(-27%)																															(11) Mater Matuta 28/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap chase (5/1) at Tramore (15.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Solid run on the beach at Laytown; only second polytrack start and not one to rule out.
12th	7 12th (7) (200/1 -203%) Landue		200 200/1(-203%)																															(7) Landue 200/1, Lightly raced and struggled to make an impact under various codes in recent months. Visored for 1st time here but hard to warm to. Last of 14 on C&D comeback run in September and now visor replaces cheekpieces.
13th	3 13th (3) (12/1 -50%) Halcyon Spirit		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Halcyon Spirit 12/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 12 in claimer at this C&D (14/1) 19 days ago, ridden 2f out and one paced. Handicapper has relinquished his grip at least now switched back to handicaps. Bit more encouraging in C&D claimer last time but more needed here.
14th	5 14th (5) (6/1 -80%) St Cianans Fire		6 6/1(-80%)																															(5) St Cianans Fire 6/1, Dual C&D winner. 11/1, turned in best effort of the year when good fourth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 67 days ago. One to consider operating 1 lb below last winning mark. Won this 2 years ago and interesting after encouraging Navan effort.

LTO Selection:

ST CIANANS FIRE signalled a return to form when fourth at Navan in September. He races off a mark of 60 which is 1lb lower than when he obliged over C&D in November last year. Daniel King has been getting a tune out of Wajaaha with the pair placed on their last couple of appearances at this track. They ought to be in the thick of the action at the business end. Darkened was effective over C&D last month as he was just denied by a nose on the line. A reproduction of that run would have him right on the premises here.

ST CIANANS FIRE shaped with definite promise, not least with a view to this return to AW, when finishing a good fourth at Navan back in September and he could be ready to strike operating 1 lb below his last winning mark. Wajaaha and Nyota may emerge as the lead threats.

Winner of this race in 2022, ST CIANANS FIRE showed a timely return to form at Navan last time and gets the vote here from a good draw

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.
