COMFORT LINE has ground to make up with Mogwli on a run nine days ago but returned to form then. Once rated 92, his rating has fallen 16lb in 2023 and while beaten just over seven lengths by Mogwli at the Curragh, he stayed on from off the pace and is 10lb better off. Mogwli paid the price for finishing second, and pulling seven lengths clear of the third, at the Curragh and likes easy ground. Wrist Art's rating has climbed from 47 to 70 recently and while he revels in testing conditions and could progress further, dropping in distance isn't ideal. Rhythm King also loves soft and while he is forgiven a disappointing run on yielding ground last month and was a winner at this distance as a juvenile, he might prefer a mile nowadays. Pandora Lovegood has a similar profile in that she also won twice at this distance as a juvenile and goes really well on soft ground. Loingseoir was behind the selection at the Curragh and would prefer a mile.

Having only found one too good in a big field at the Curragh last time, MOGWLI seems an obvious choice to make amends in this less-competitive environment. Wrist Art is the chief threat and Loingseoir can't be ruled out.

Two of these have gone up sharply in the ratings but WRIST ART is less exposed then Mowgli and can be another winner for Tim Doyle

TATUM's handicap form is useful and ran well on heavy ground recently, which is a positive coming here. She is now 6lb worse off having beaten Pomeriggio by three-parts of a length at Naas in September but might confirm those placings having proven herself in testing conditions. Pomeriggio, in contrast, was well enough held on soft ground subsequently at the Curragh, with blinkers being retained for a second time. Expecto received a bump when running satisfactorily at Down Royal but reverts to more testing ground, while Koniag was behind the selection at Naas but was beaten 19 lengths, albeit by Henry Longfellow, on his only run on soft ground. Highland Bells showed improvement, having been gelded, at Navan and can compete on his handicap debut.

This represents a good opportunity for TATUM to deservedly get off the mark. She has improved switched to nurseries the last twice and a 2 lb nudge for her recent Bellewstown near miss looks very fair indeed given that she pulled clear of the rest. Pomeriggio has also performed with credit since going down the nursery route and she is second choice ahead of Expecto and Koniag.

The most appealing option is TATUM (nap), who had a few of these behind when third at Naas and she ran better again at Bellewstown.

KATOLA hasn't run since making her debut in August but that soft-ground success was promising. Typically well-bred by her owner, she was well supported at Naas with the runner-up, third and fifth each winning maidens subsequently and the sixth and ninth scoring in handicaps. She lacks a recent run but should improve and can better her 83 perch. Perfect Poise is in-form and well suited by conditions but is vulnerable to an unexposed type. Machnamh is ground-versatile and won at Dundalk but is exposed, while Grey Leader had good form this summer but doesn't look ahead of his 83 rating. Malbay Madness disappointed when tried in a Listed Auteuil Hurdle on September 1 (beaten 77 lengths in last) and while his Flat form is useful and he likes easy ground, he has enough on his plate, despite his rider claiming 7lb. Lecale's Approach's yard is doing very well and while she beat two subsequent maiden winners to score on debut, makes her return from 332 days off on differing ground.

PERFECT POISE has been running consistently well in handicaps lately and might prove the answer to this quite useful rated event. Katola should have more to come on the back of her Naas debut success and is second choice ahead of Malbay Madness who ran no sort of race on his hurdle debut in France last month but had been in good nick on the Flat prior to that.

A tightly-knit handicap in effect and MACHNAMH is taken to keep improving after winning over a longer trip on the Poytrack at Dundalk

Going a bit further now should suit TOLL STONE and he can get off the mark. The Australia gelding was staying on when third to Water Nymph over a mile at Listowel in testing conditions on his last outing and this would appear to be a nice opportunity for him now. He is joint top-rated in the field with a mark of 75 and the other horse that holds that rating, Highland Rahy, probably doesn't want the ground too deep. He has had a couple of decent placed efforts on his last two outings but has missed engagements since due to testing ground. Rapid City ran well when fourth at Punchestown and is a potential improver.

The way TOLL STONE stuck to his task over 1m at Listowel last time suggests he'll be fine over this trip and he's just about the most compelling option. Rapid City is going the right way and is feared most, ahead of Highland Rahy.

A race confined to those rated no higher than 75. TIME TO SOAR stuck at it well over 1m on heavy ground at Killarney and gets the vote

SPECIAL PROTECTOR ran well from a bad draw at Navan last time and may be able to give in-form trainer Tim Doyle another winner here. She made up a nice bit of ground from the rear down the straight last time to finish fifth to Patrick Street and having been eased a pound since that run she looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Rough And Tough was a couple of places behind the selection last time and also has to come into consideration here with Wesley Joyce taking 7lb off now. Wee Winnie ran well on her second start back from a long absence when third at Down Royal three weeks ago and, with Jack Kearney taking 7lb off her back now, she looks nicely treated.

WEE WINNIE is on an appealing mark and returned to from at Down Royal last time so, with cheekpieces refitted, she gets the nod ahead of Special Protector. Rough And Tough is another one to consider.

The ground is a grey area for SPECIAL PROTECTOR but she arrives here in better form than most and should have hit the frame last time.

Noel Meade has done well this year with the progeny of Churchill and MY BIRTHDAY GIRL may be worth a shot here on her handicap debut. The chestnut filly travelled well to the road in a maiden at Down Royal last time but found her path blocked when asked for an effort a furlong and a half from home. That was an improved showing on her first two runs and she could be nicely treated here off a mark of 53. Patrick Street was a 28/1 shot when winning at Navan last time and got an 8lb hike for that victory. That makes life tougher but he has to be respected. Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking for Lisamaria, who has been knocking on the door, and she is another for the shortlist.

LISAMARIA had an excuse last time (second run in quick succession) and might be able to come good with Colin Keane back in the saddle. Stormie Outlook, Queen Mab and recent Navan scorer Patrick Street head the dangers.

Patrick Street should feature but LISAMARIA ran well behind that one at Navan and her Thurles run came too soon.

FAIR DAMSEL may be able to strike here back in handicap company. It can be dangerous to take the form of charity races too literally but she did show her well-being when beating some higher-rated rivals at the Curragh just over three weeks ago and the Dragon Pulse filly looks on a nice mark. Colin Keane is a positive booking, while Walnut Beach has been knocking on the door and certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. He looks an obvious danger. Bright N Shine is another who has been hitting the crossbar recently and has to be on the shortlist.

WALNUT BEACH again ran with credit with the blinkers enlisted when runner-up at Thurles 11 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more. Bright N Shine and Inchiquin Maid are a couple of others to consider, with Fair Damsel another to keep an eye on back from a break.

Down at the bottom of the weights and after plenty of creditable efforts including over this trip, TASMANIAN GIRL can get a turn.
