|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (5/1 -67%)Extravagant |
5/1(-67%) | (1) Extravagant 5/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when well beaten in a 6f nursery at The Curragh on handicap debut. Generally out of form and needs at least 7f, with the potential to do better over 1m. Last on nursery debut; something to prove but stepping up to 1m could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 +29%)Bellamano |
5/2(+29%) | (2) Bellamano 5/2, Ran to form when second, beaten a neck, in a 7f auction race at Galway last time. Steadily progressive and consistent over 7-8f on easy ground. Trainer in form and looks a solid contender. Second in a 7f maiden at Galway and this longer trip looks a good move on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (50/1 -25%)The Holy Apostle |
50/1(-25%) | (6) The Holy Apostle 50/1, Outpaced and outclassed when down the field in a 7f maiden at The Curragh most recently. Blinkers applied for the first time following a short break. Yet to build on a promising debut and bred for middle distances. Gelded ahead of handicap debut; market could be informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (17/2 +6%)Femme Beauty |
17/2(+6%) | (10) Femme Beauty 17/2, Back to form in first-time headgear when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a 7f maiden at Down Royal last time. Inconsistent over 6-7f so far, though may stay 1m. 0-5 but two runs were encouraging and could have a role to play off the lightest weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (13/2 +70%)Down The Glen |
13/2(+70%) | (7) Down The Glen 13/2, A little below form in a good 6f maiden at Naas last time. Generally consistent, with a significant jockey booking. Likely to be better suited to further than 6f in nurseries. Entitled to be seen in a better light now raised in trip for nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/4 -10%)Invincible Will |
11/4(-10%) | (3) Invincible Will 11/4, Conceded first run but ran to form on handicap debut when beaten 1/2l off 73 over 7f at Galway, benefitting from the drop in grade. Effective at 7f and may get 1m; looks on a good mark. Strong in the finish to place in a Down Royal maiden and Galway nursery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -32%)Quinn's Charm |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Quinn's Charm 33/1, From a yard that won this race last year. Below form when stepped up in trip on final qualifying run in a Bellewstown maiden. Off a short break and bred for middle distances; improvement needed in handicaps. Some promise on second run but raced freely last time and was last; nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (6/1 +14%)Clarity Of Thought |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Clarity Of Thought 6/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a 7f maiden at Down Royal last time. Usually consistent, with a trainer who excels at this course. Effective over 6-7f on good or soft ground and may progress in handicaps. Hasn't been disgraced in 6f/7f maidens won by some notable horses; raised to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -75%)Sara La Belle |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Sara La Belle 28/1, Returned to form when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l, in a 7f nursery at Galway last time. Wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 6-7f on good or soft ground but needs a bit more to break her maiden. Beaten about 6l on nursery debut at Galway (7f) where she was slowly away on soft ground. |

BELLAMANO looks nicely weighted with 7lb claimer Patrick McGettigan booked. Johnny Murtagh's filly has been finishing her races well and has posted a couple of seconds, at this track and when just held by a neck in Galway. Gavin Cromwell's Invincible Will has also been placed on his last couple of starts and has to be respected, while top-weight Extravagant patently didn't run his race in the Curragh and now tries a new trip. Sara La Belle showed more in fourth in her first handicap at Galway (behind runner-up Invincible Will) and a hood could elicit more improvement.

A few with chances. CLARITY OF THOUGHT is capable of better than he showed when positively ridden at Down Royal.

1st (2) (5/4 +62%)Sujet |
5/4(+62%) | (2) Sujet 5/4, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3l in a 9f handicap at Galway latest; ridden by a top course jockey; acts on good to firm, good and soft; effective from 8-9f; consistent. Impressed at the Curragh; there's good reason to forgive him his Galway failure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (28/1 -40%)Sunriseontheboyne |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Sunriseontheboyne 28/1, Outpaced, short of room and rallied when clear, finishing below form and appearing unsuited by the shorter trip when beaten 8 1/4l in a 9f handicap at Galway last time; tongue-tie first time; may prefer 9-10f; needs more in this grade. The most exposed of these and he was 40-1 when behind three of today's rivals at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/4 -20%)Collecting Coin |
9/4(-20%) | (1) Collecting Coin 9/4, Ran to form with an easy win in a maiden at Galway over 7f by 3l last time; consistent over 7-8f on good and soft. Won his Galway maiden with a nice bit in hand and appears to be well regarded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -114%)Refreshment |
15/2(-114%) | (4) Refreshment 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/4l in a 9f handicap at Galway latest; effective from 8-9f on good and soft; consistent. Had three of these behind when coming from well off the pace to be second at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (15/2 -50%)Mathan |
15/2(-50%) | (3) Mathan 15/2, Ran to form when 2 1/4l third in a 9f handicap at Galway on most recent run; trained by a top course trainer; effective from 7-9f, enjoys cut and consistent. Always well positioned when dividing Refreshment and Sujet in a 1m handicap at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +11%)Dahlia Noir |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Dahlia Noir 8/1, Poorly placed to challenge in a race dominated from the front when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective from 8-10f, acts on any going but enjoys cut; generally consistent. Maiden winner on heavy ground who beginning to look exposed after eight defeats. |

COLLECTING COIN shed his maiden tag in good style at Galway and is one to look forward to. On his penultimate start at the Curragh, he was beaten a neck into second by a horse who now holds a Group 3 entry. Sujet was a beaten favourite in fourth at Galway but, prior to that, took top honours in a valuable handicap at the Curragh, which was a notable performance. Refreshment has had a very productive summer and it wouldn't be surprising to see him right in the thick of the action, while it would take a brave punter to rule the consistent Mathan out of contention in a competitive heat.

Connections of COLLECTING COIN (nap) were optimistic about his future prospects after winning his maiden at Galway. Sujet is feared.

1st (5) (6/1 +25%)Thalara |
6/1(+25%) | (5) Thalara 6/1, Improved when dropped back in trip, finishing 3 1/4l third in the Kooyonga Stakes (Listed) at Navan last time. Steadily progressive and returning from a short break, effective at 8-10f and capable at Listed level. Ran well in three starts in Listed company earlier in season, definite place claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +23%)Duckadilly |
5/1(+23%) | (2) Duckadilly 5/1, Below form when stepped up in grade on quicker ground, finishing fourth and beaten 6l in the Brownstown Stakes (Group 3) over 7f at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 7-8f. Ground may have been on the quick side latest; remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (33/1 +0%)Soft Winds |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Soft Winds 33/1, Made too much use of and finished 8l behind in the Hurry Harriet Stakes (Listed) over 9f at Gowran Park last time. From a top course trainer, may need some cut, but looks vulnerable at Group/Listed level. Yet to make her mark for current yard; looks to have a fair bit to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (11/4 +8%)Fiery Lucy |
11/4(+8%) | (10) Fiery Lucy 11/4, Forced wide from a poor draw when down the field in the Corrib Fillies Stakes (Listed) over 7f at Galway last time. With a top jockey back on board, she acts on firm, good and soft, generally consistent at around 1m, and can bounce back. Solid performer at this level, including over C&D on penultimate; definite player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/5 +82%)Barbizon |
16/5(+82%) | (6) Barbizon 16/5, Keen but improved for his debut experience to win the Conditions Race here by 2 1/4l last time. With a top course jockey booked, effective at 1m and has more to come. Recent C&D winner has much more on his plate here on quicker ground but remains unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (20/1 +39%)Howyoulikethat |
20/1(+39%) | (1) Howyoulikethat 20/1, Had too much to do in a race dominated from the front, beaten 5 1/4l in a 9f handicap at Galway last time. Generally out of form but has been running back into form after a long layoff. Effective at 1m and goes well at Killarney. Third in this in 2023; needs to come on a fair bit from two comeback runs in big handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/2 +66%)Evening Blossom |
11/2(+66%) | (3) Evening Blossom 11/2, Ran below form when beaten 8l in a 9f handicap at Galway last time. Usually consistent and from a top course trainer. Acts on good and soft ground; progressive but now facing a tougher mark. C&D handicap winner last month; too keen at Galway since but claims if settling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (17/2 +29%)Queen Of The Bogs |
17/2(+29%) | (11) Queen Of The Bogs 17/2, Quickened clear comfortably and improved for her debut experience when winning a 9f maiden at The Curragh by 5l last time. Effective at 9-10f and worth a step up in grade. Curragh maiden winner one of 2 unexposed runners for the yard but this a much stiffer task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (25/1 +24%)Ben Lawers |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Ben Lawers 25/1, Ran to form when 3l third in a 9f maiden at Leopardstown last time. Steadily progressive and consistent over 8-9f on good ground, but needs to settle better. Step in the right direction at Leopardstown recently but hard to fancy at this level. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This race is about whether a drop in class sparks the 113-rated EXPANDED back into form. He went into last winter with an enhanced reputation after just being beaten a neck in the Dewhurst at Newmarket. He has had two runs this season, in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, and finished out the back in both. If he is anywhere near his best, he ought to take plenty of beating. The admirable Fiery Lucy had a tough draw in Galway but, prior to that, had been very consistent. This is a tricky task for Queen Of The Bogs, but she did win a Curragh maiden by almost five lengths so is one to note.

Expanded comes with obvious question marks and is opposed here by the more reliable FIERY LUCY

(12) (13/2 +46%)Zaraahmando |
13/2(+46%) | (12) Zaraahmando 13/2, Scored by 2l off 61 over 7f at Fairyhouse penultimate start; below form off a revised mark when beaten 15l off 69 last time; effective at 7f; stiff mark. Best form at 7f but easy mile here could be within his compass so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (13/2 -30%)Touted Plan |
13/2(-30%) | (15) Touted Plan 13/2, Improved with strong pace and stiff track when beaten a nose off 61 over 7f at Naas last time; best on sound surface; effective 7-8f; bit more to come. Just denied at Naas latest; looks to be getting her act together so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (7/1 +56%)Daonethatgotaway |
7/1(+56%) | (16) Daonethatgotaway 7/1, Scored by 3/4l off 65 at Bellewstown three starts back; outpaced and poorly placed when tenth beaten 8l off 72 last time; effective 8-10f; generally consistent. The draw his undoing at Galway, much better draw here if getting a run; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/2 +25%)Vega's Muse |
15/2(+25%) | (13) Vega's Muse 15/2, Did plenty early lit up by blinkers when beaten 9l in a handicap at Galway last time; in good form prior; effective at 7-8f; generally consistent but frustrating. C&D runner-up on softer ground; not the most resolute finisher and opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (8/1 -33%)Senti Qua |
8/1(-33%) | (11) Senti Qua 8/1, Hampered early and had too much to do, improved in first-time cheekpieces when beaten 1/2l off 65 over 7f at Dundalk last time; top course jockey; consistent at 7-8f. Staying-on Dundalk second; looks an improver, could go well if staying. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +44%)Nedita |
9/1(+44%) | (9) Nedita 9/1, Below form when beaten 4l off 65 over 7f at Naas last time; top jockey back on board; effective at 1m but yet to prove as effective on turf. More encouraging behind Star Mind at Naas on latest but good bit more required here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/1 +82%)Brandon Creek |
9/1(+82%) | (14) Brandon Creek 9/1, Blew the start and met trouble when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Galway last time; generally out of form but trainer in form; effective 8-12f on good or soft; bit more to come. Two handicap runs over mid-distances; down in trip here but still looks on a high mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +60%)Darkdeserthighway |
10/1(+60%) | (4) Darkdeserthighway 10/1, Below form when beaten 10l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; generally consistent at 1m on good ground; holds no secrets from the handicapper. Long losing run on turf; remains a bit high in the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -43%)Chavajod |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Chavajod 10/1, Returned to form under positive handling when beaten 1/2l off 68 over 9f at Galway last time; best at 1m; inconsistent veteran. Touched off over C&D last summer and back to form at Galway latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (14/1 +50%)Alto Sax |
14/1(+50%) | (18) Alto Sax 14/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap over 10f at Ballinrobe latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 7-10f on good ground, may not handle easier going; slow starts an issue. Well below best of late, cheekpieces now replace blinkers; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -56%)Secret Magician |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Secret Magician 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 67 over 7f at Naas last time; effective at 6-7f, unproven over further. Naas fourth one of his better efforts but remains opposable, especially from this draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -144%)Speckled Meadow |
22/1(-144%) | (6) Speckled Meadow 22/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3 1/4l off 68 over 9f at Galway last time; effective at 7-8f, best with cut; handicapper finally relenting. Wants it softer and wide draw doesn't help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 +38%)No Such Thing |
25/1(+38%) | (10) No Such Thing 25/1, Too keen lit up by first-time visor when 13l third in a maiden here most recently; acts on good and soft; inconsistent. Limited appeal on handicap debut from a wide draw and inexperienced claimer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +0%)Linger For Longer |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Linger For Longer 33/1, Outclassed up in grade when beaten 6 1/2l in a Rated Race over 7f at Limerick last time; effective at 7f; out of form in 2025. Best at shorter; twice well held over C&D, hard to fancy from wide draw too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 -60%)Shelbourne |
40/1(-60%) | (1) Shelbourne 40/1, Forced wide from a poor draw when beaten 8l in a handicap over 7f at Naas last time; effective at 7-8f. Hard to fancy on the back of poor recent yard debut effort at Naas. |

There was a lot to like about SENTI QUA's runner-up finish in first-time cheekpieces at Dundalk. She was nicely clear of the third and as that was just her fifth career outing, there should be more to come. Star Mind made eyecatching headway to get up in Naas and has prospects of following up off 8lb higher. Touted Plan lost out by the minimum margin at Naas after running on strongly in the final furlong, so is a big player. Chavajod is just 1lb higher than his last winning mark and ran well in third at Galway, while Zaraahmando is most effective over 7f but cannot be ruled out.

Wide open but improving 3yos TOUTED PLAN and Senti Qua are taken against the field, both upped in trip here

(7) (3/1 +50%)Kilmeaden |
3/1(+50%) | (7) Kilmeaden 3/1, Back to form when showing a willing attitude to land a handicap by a neck off 82 over 12f at Galway last time. Effective at 12f on good and soft ground. Still mileage in his mark on maiden form and may have more to offer over staying trips. Battled well for Galway win; good chance he'll stay this longer trip and improve again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +47%)Pinot Gris |
4/1(+47%) | (9) Pinot Gris 4/1, Poorly placed and never threatened on flat return, needing the run when beaten 9 1/4l in a 2m handicap at The Curragh last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Off a short break. Effective 12-16f on good and soft ground, with scope on jumps form. Okay Flat return in the circumstances in June; change of headgear here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -43%)Ragmans Corner |
5/1(-43%) | (6) Ragmans Corner 5/1, Improved up in trip for a cosy win, scoring by 2l off 73 at Navan in June. Hampered mid race but aided by leaders racing early, ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/2l off 115 last time. Top course jockey booked and looks well treated on flat form. Improved stayer this summer; good run back hurdling latest and has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +50%)Chutzpal |
6/1(+50%) | (11) Chutzpal 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 70 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective 12-14f on good ground and all-weather. C&D winner last summer; recent form creditable enough so not one to dismiss lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 +13%)Bibe Mus |
7/1(+13%) | (10) Bibe Mus 7/1, Ran to form when appreciating the step up in trip on stable debut, beaten 4 1/4l in a 12f handicap at Galway last time. Effective 10-12f and likely to show more for the new yard over staying trips. French Flat winner shaped nicely on yard debut at Galway; could have more to offer here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -33%)Mon Coeur |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Mon Coeur 8/1, Met trouble early but ran to his best when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap over 2m1f at Galway last time. Top jockey returns. Effective 12-16f, best with cut in the ground, and goes well at Galway. Galway second augurs well but tight track may not suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +31%)Mo Ghille Mar |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Mo Ghille Mar 11/1, Won by 3 1/4l off 84 over 1m5f at Down Royal two starts ago. Ran to form when tenth, beaten 7 1/4l off 92 last time. Top jockey back on board; effective 12-14f on a sound surface but the handicapper may have caught up. Draw against her at Galway; won here last year so respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -13%)Comic Book |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Comic Book 18/1, Had every chance but was outclassed and possibly did not stay when well beaten in the Stanerra Stakes (Group 3) at Fairyhouse last time. Generally out of form and has yet to convince with stamina over 14f. Highly-tried 4yo makes handicap debut off reduced mark but opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 -57%)Brosna Town |
22/1(-57%) | (4) Brosna Town 22/1, Promising hurdle debut but comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Galway last time. Trainer in form. Effective 12-14f on good ground and all-weather on the flat, but looks on a stiff enough mark. Wins at 1m4f, yet to convince over this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -273%)Autumn Twist |
28/1(-273%) | (8) Autumn Twist 28/1, Ran to form but challenged too early off a strong pace when beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Galway last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is progressive in both codes. Still quite unexposed on the Flat so possibly more to offer. |

MON COEUR is a capable stayer who will relish every yard of this trip. He arrives on the back of a keeping-on second in the qualified riders' handicap on the opening day of the Galway Festival, while a never-nearer sixth in a good handicap at this track in May also strengthens his claims. Kilmeaden is up in trip after getting off the mark in a Galway handicap. He has one piece of very notable form, when runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden in May behind the high-class Carmers. Comic Book has been extensively plying her trade in better company and has to rate a threat, while Mo Ghille Mar and Ragmans Corner will have plenty of supporters.

It may pay to forgive MO GHILLE MAR for Galway, when badly drawn, her previous Down Royal win looked good and she won here last year

(9) (9/4 +18%)Bear Creek |
9/4(+18%) | (9) Bear Creek 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when winning by 2l off 61 over 1m5f at Down Royal penultimate start. Forced wide but ran to form up in grade when third, beaten 4l off 71 last time. From a top course trainer, effective 11-13f on good or yielding, and steadily progressing. Improved for step up in trip in handicaps; return to good ground to suit and big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (9/2 +36%)Wertpol |
9/2(+36%) | (12) Wertpol 9/2, Outpaced and below form on handicap debut, beaten 6l over 8f at Leopardstown last time. Usually consistent, with trainer in form. Returns from a short break and looks in need of a step up from 8-10f. Has been well backed last twice and mark looks fair. Too keen on handicap debut; could have more to offer but hardly bred for this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (6/1 +45%)Eagles Dream |
6/1(+45%) | (10) Eagles Dream 6/1, Below form on softer ground when finishing down the field in a 12f Galway handicap last time. Had been in good form prior. Effective at 10-12f on good or yielding ground. Consistent but current mark looks about right. Hasn't convinced over 1m4f last twice so legitimate stamina concerns here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +82%)Gangster Granny |
6/1(+82%) | (2) Gangster Granny 6/1, Below form and finished down the field in a 12f Galway handicap most recently. Generally out of form and wears blinkers for the first time. Effective at 12-14f on good or soft ground but form is regressing and needs an easier task. Standout run this year when second over this trip at Gowran; form since underwhelming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -56%)Beautiful Chaos |
7/1(-56%) | (5) Beautiful Chaos 7/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip, beaten 4l off 65 at Galway last time. Effective at 12-14f. A veteran on a long losing run but in good heart. Just denied at Down Royal and Galway run of merit; one to consider. |

(1) (8/1 +11%)Empress Alma |
8/1(+11%) | (1) Empress Alma 8/1, Unsuited by how the race developed on a quick return but not disgraced when beaten 10l in a Galway handicap last time. Usually consistent, held up, and effective from middle to staying distances on good or soft ground. Progression of last year hasn't been continued; needs more respite from the handicapper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +17%)Makaiah |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Makaiah 10/1, Stable won this last year. Too keen and wide when comfortably held in a 1m7f Leopardstown handicap last time but had been in good form before. Consistent at 13-16f on good ground. Can bounce back but little leeway from the handicapper. Tramore third to Miss Gitana so has a bit to do and draw not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +45%)Atheneum |
18/1(+45%) | (4) Atheneum 18/1, Below form when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a 12f Galway handicap most recently. Cheekpieces on first time. Effective 12-14f on good or soft ground. Still early days and could bounce back. Promise over C&D last month but subsequent Galway run raises questions; cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -144%)Ehteyat |
22/1(-144%) | (6) Ehteyat 22/1, Denied a clear run at a key stage and had too much to do when beaten 5l in a Galway handicap last time. Effective 14-16f. Has dropped to a very attractive mark on UK form and should go close if building on latest run. Galway run encouraging; could go well at decent odds. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Ellaat |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Ellaat 40/1, Had too much to do after meeting trouble at a key stage when beaten 9l in a Galway handicap last time. Effective at 12-14f on the flat, with best efforts when the ground has cut. Recent Galway run mildly encouraging but good bit more required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (50/1 0%)You'llfindandsee |
50/1(0%) | (14) You'llfindandsee 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Cork last time. Needs to prove ability remains after a long layoff. Hardly seen in recent years; 9lb wrong and impossible to fancy in the circumstances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (66/1 +0%)Decorated Elle |
66/1(+0%) | (13) Decorated Elle 66/1, Outpaced, needed the run, and appeared unsuited by the drop in trip when finishing down the field in an 8f Curragh handicap most recently. Usually consistent but needs a return to longer distances. Should come on for reappearance but has a bit to prove. Absent since always behind on Curragh debut in March; can only be watched. |

BEAR CREEK was a comfortable winner over 1m5f in Down Royal and ran creditably in third when upped in class at Galway, so he should be a major contender for honours here. Ehteyat is on a competitive mark and his fifth in another handicap in Galway can be marked up as he suffered a less-than-clear route. Beautiful Chaos was just in front of him in fourth and should also be in the hunt for prize money. Ger O'Leary landed this race last year and his Makaiah is more than capable of getting into contention.

Preference is for LADY KAI, who didn't get beyond the start last time but appeals on her previous form and was a winner here last year

(2) (13/8 +73%)Enniskerry |
13/8(+73%) | (2) Enniskerry 13/8, Ran to form when well beaten in the Galway Hurdle (G3) over 2m at Galway last time. Had been in good form prior but has a bit to find here. 8th in the Galway Hurdle latest; others are preferred but he can give his running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 +21%)Mont St Michel |
11/4(+21%) | (6) Mont St Michel 11/4, Probably made his move too soon when a 5l third in a 12f maiden at Galway on his most recent run. Effective from 12f to 14f, he has shown a good level of form and should be winning soon. Looks flattered by a mark of 95 but entitled to have some say in a race of this nature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 -45%)Sorrentino |
4/1(-45%) | (8) Sorrentino 4/1, Yard has won 3 of the last 8 runnings of this race. Very promising debut when second, beaten 1/2l, in the Conditions Race (Amateurs) over 1m5f at Listowel most recently. Off a short break, he is a bumper winner with more to come and should do better over 2m. Good chance of him reversing Listowel placings with Gentleman Joe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -129%)Run For Oscar |
4/1(-129%) | (3) Run For Oscar 4/1, Ran to form in the contest he won in 2022, finishing fourth and beaten 1 1/4l in a 2m2f handicap at Newmarket last time. Returning from a long layoff; a veteran thorough stayer who was in good form when last seen. This is a probable prep for the Cesarewitch. The one to beat on these terms, provided he's ready to rock after his absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -22%)Gentleman Joe |
11/2(-22%) | (1) Gentleman Joe 11/2, Improved again when appreciating the fast ground, winning the Conditions Race (Amateurs) at Leopardstown over 1m7f by 1/2l last time. Acts on any surface but seems to prefer faster ground, and is a progressive stayer on the flat. Classy Flat performer who has proved formidable in races of this nature; clear claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (250/1 -67%)Simpletwistoffaith |
250/1(-67%) | (7) Simpletwistoffaith 250/1, Poor flat debut when down the field in a 12f maiden at Galway most recently. Generally out of form and regressive over jumps prior to that start; can only be watched at present. 0-15 over hurdles; 300-1 when well behind Mont St Michel in a 1m4f maiden at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (300/1 -200%)He Who Dares |
300/1(-200%) | (5) He Who Dares 300/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a 2m maiden at Tramore last time. Trainer is in form, but poor over hurdles and will need more time on the flat. No worthwhile form in four hurdles races and finished down the field on Flat debut (2m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (300/1 -100%)Appian Way |
300/1(-100%) | (4) Appian Way 300/1, Disappointing on flat return when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden at Tramore most recently. Out of form in both codes. Won twice over hurdles in 2022; 0-15 on the Flat and has earned a basement mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (300/1 -275%)Tullyhogue Fort |
300/1(-275%) | (9) Tullyhogue Fort 300/1, Unseated in a 2m6f handicap chase at Roscommon last time. Consistent but has a poor strike rate. Capable jumper at an ordinary level; rated 42 on the Flat and should be outclassed. |

Not seen since finishing fourth in last October's Cesarewitch at Newmarket, a race he landed in 2022, Run For Oscar is clear on ratings but he's a 10-year-old now and his record when returning from an absence suggests he could be worth taking on. Obviously any market strength would cast doubt on the wisdom of that approach, but lightly-raced bumper winner SORRENTINO is the selection for Willie and Patrick Mullins. He ran well on his Flat debut when narrowly beaten by Gentleman Joe over 1m5f at Listowel in June and may be able to turn around form over this longer trip with that subsequent Leopardstown winner. Smart hurdler Enniskerry has useful Flat form and is in the mix as well.

If fit then Run For Oscar will take some beating but preference is for SORRENTINO who is closely matched with Gentleman Joe.

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.
