Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1.5/1 +0%) Dream Today	1.5 1.5/1(+0%)	(1) Dream Today 1.5/1, 20/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 73 days ago. Won over 7f here last year and looks well weighted. Won over 7f here last year and off 86 at Dundalk in February; runs off lower turf mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +50%) Tamazu	4 4/1(+50%)	(4) Tamazu 4/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 6 days ago. Bounce back called for. Trains on the beach in Killala so will love this; twice gone close over 5f, should get 6f.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 +0%) Sunday Sovereign	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Sunday Sovereign 9/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in claimer at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon. Struggled for new connections until making all over 1m in Bellewstown claimer; held since.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -17%) Jaafel	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Jaafel 14/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 20/1) 26 days ago. AW record is a positive one. All three wins at Dundalk last winter were over 1m and has never run over less than 7f.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -157%) Transcendental	9 9/1(-157%)	(2) Transcendental 9/1, Winner at the Curragh in May. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago, well positioned. Merits consideration. Curragh winner off 1lb higher; held since but hasn't been suited by 7f a couple of times.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -33%) Aloysius Lilius	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Aloysius Lilius 10/1, Latest win at Tipperary in August. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago. Tactically versatile sprinter; latest of six wins came over 5f at Tipperary; fine over 6f.
7th	3 7th (3) (7.5/1 +63%) Army Of India	7.5 7.5/1(+63%)	(3) Army Of India 7.5/1, First run since leaving Julie Camacho when eleventh of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Three AW sprinting wins in Britain; not allowed to wear usual hood; trained on beaches.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 -33%) Ivasecret	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Ivasecret 16/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 16/1). Off 154 days. Four AW wins in Britain and second off 84 over 6f at Dundalk last winter; off five months.
9th	10 9th (10) (16/1 +36%) That's Mad	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) That's Mad 16/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy, 25/1), possibly amiss. Off 159 days. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Tongue strap on for 1st time. 5f specialist won three for Leanne Breen in 2021; lightly raced and little since; new yard.
10th	9 10th (9) (200/1 -614%) Rhydwyn	200 200/1(-614%)	(9) Rhydwyn 200/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Last of 6 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 80/1) 59 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Lightly raced in recent years and in rear on both starts for this yard.

LTO Selection:

This is a drop in class that DREAM TODAY can take advantage of. It is worth noting that he travelled notably well on the beach last year before winning by more than two lengths. He landed that race off a mark of 80 and effectively returns to Laytown off 69 with Cian MacRedmond's claim factored in. He is the only Laytown winner in the field which is a big advantage. Transcendental is dropping down the weights and looks to be on a decent mark as just four runs back she won a quality handicap in the Curragh off 1lb higher. Aloysius Lilius won on his penultimate start in Tipperary and is capable of going well. James McAuley fields Sunday Sovereign and Jaafel, and neither can be ruled out. The former would be particularly dangerous if given rope off the front.

Having won at this meeting last year, the assessor has given DREAM TODAY a major chance of repeating the trick. Transcendental and Jaafel are a couple of potential threats.

A winner here last year, Dream Today is feared but TAMAZU should be able to find a nice rhythm on this surface and is taken to score

16:45 Laytown Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:15 Laytown Handicap 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 +44%) Jered Maddox	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(1) Jered Maddox 4.5/1, Good second of 25 in handicap (33/1) at Cork (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago, running on. Fine second of 25 at Cork last week, King's first time to ride him; got 5lb for that.
2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 -10%) Pulse Of Shanghai	22 22/1(-10%)	(10) Pulse Of Shanghai 22/1, Thirty one runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Down Royal (5f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Well over two years since latest win; no joy over C&D last year but mark now way lower.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.75/1 +22%) Samrogue	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(4) Samrogue 1.75/1, Won this race last year. Second of 16 in handicap at Cork (6f, good, 8/1) 46 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Decisive winner of this last year off 64; much-improved second at Cork in July.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -25%) Markievicz	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Markievicz 25/1, Latest win at Navan in May. Below form seventh of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Cork (6f, good) 46 days ago, not ideally placed. Has won a couple of big-field handicaps, most recently at Navan (5.5f) in May; fair mark.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -65%) Darcy's Rock	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Darcy's Rock 33/1, 25/1, respectable sixth of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 16 days ago. Prominent racer was sixth of 24 at Naas last time when behind Zig Zag Zyggy.
6th	3 6th (3) (8.5/1 -6%) Teddy Boy	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(3) Teddy Boy 8.5/1, Latest win at Naas in August. 17/2, eighteenth of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 16 days ago. Second to Samrogue in this race last year. One to consider. Stalwart was runner-up in last two renewals; recorded fifth win when scoring at Naas.
7th	7 7th (7) (7.5/1 +6%) Zig Zag Zyggy	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(7) Zig Zag Zyggy 7.5/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 18/1, creditable third of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 16 days ago. Hard-knocking sprinter is equally effective over 5f and 6f; latest win over 5f in July.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 -100%) Rocky Dreams	9 9/1(-100%)	(6) Rocky Dreams 9/1, 9/1, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner claimer at Dundalk (7f) 62 days ago, all out. Merits consideration. Very effective at Dundalk where he won for a seventh time in July; turf mark is way lower.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 -71%) Hell Left Loose	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Hell Left Loose 12/1, Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form twelfth of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 20/1) 16 days ago. Won this race in 2021 so no shock were she to stage a revival under Rachael Blackmore. Won four for Denis Hogan including this race in 2021; return visit needs to spark revival.
10th	2 10th (2) (10/1 -100%) Barnhill Rose	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Barnhill Rose 10/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. First run since leaving Denis Hogan when career best when winning 14-runner handicap (7/2) at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago, all out. Gained third win of the season at Roscommon (7f), value for more; drop in trip a concern.

LTO Selection:

SAMROGUE won this race last year and warmed up for another big run when beaten half a length into second at Cork in July. She is undoubtedly well handicapped as she competes off 10lb lower than when taking the honours 12 months ago. Interestingly, she has had the same preparation as last year when she was put away after winning at Cork in July. Jered Maddox ran a stormer in second at 33/1 in a big-field handicap at Cork earlier this month. This is his first visit to the beach, but he has extensive experience on the sand in Dundalk to call upon. Zig Zag Zyggy is on a very handy mark and Adam Caffrey takes 5lb off his back. This is a new trip for Barnhill Rose, but she arrives in winning form over an extended 7f at Roscommon. Teddy Boy, Rocky Dreams and Markievicz cannot be ruled out while reserve Eriskay would have a chance if getting a run.

SAMROGUE beat Teddy Boy in this last year and they might be the pair to focus on again with Ross O'Sullivan's mare taken to come out on top again. Recent Dundalk claiming winner Rocky Dreams also makes the shortlist.

Having returned to form when touched off at Cork, SAMROGUE is handicapped to repeat last year's success in this sprint

17:15 Laytown Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:45 Laytown Claimer 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +44%) General Idea	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(6) General Idea 4.5/1, Fair gelding. 16/1, creditable eighth of 17 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Only beaten 3l when mid-field over this trip at Cork last time; first run in a claimer.
2	10 2nd (10) (3/1 -20%) Yester	3 3/1(-20%)	(10) Yester 3/1, Still a maiden after 29 runs but was second at this meeting last year. Fourth of 11 in claimer at Dundalk (7f, 14/1) 62 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Good chance at the weights. Touched off in C&D maiden a year ago by rival now rated 100; big chance on stable debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (14/1 +58%) Red Cymbal	14 14/1(+58%)	(11) Red Cymbal 14/1, Modest gelding. Two wins from 62 Flat runs. Forty five runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Dundalk (8f) 62 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve; well over three years without a win and not much to shout about this year.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +0%) Chummie	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Chummie 16/1, Modest mare. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (8f). Off 11 months. Placed over 7f at Dundalk last year but well beaten back there since and long time off.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -20%) Clarinbridge	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Clarinbridge 4/1, Latest win at Ayr in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 57 days ago. Chance on old form. Made all to land modest 7f contest at Ayr in June; poor run on return visit there.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -400%) Madame Peltier	25 25/1(-400%)	(8) Madame Peltier 25/1, Eighth of 12 in claimer (33/1) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 180 days. Significantly down in trip. Soundly beaten on first two starts for this yard at Dundalk in March and been off since.
7th	9 7th (9) (3.33/1 +26%) Muhalhel	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(9) Muhalhel 3.33/1, Fair gelding. One win from 22 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft, 10/1) 8 days ago. Enters calculations. Decent fourth off 73 at Fairyhouse a year ago but hasn't come close to that form since.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 +40%) Cometh The Man	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Cometh The Man 12/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 50 Flat runs. 33/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 151 days. Every chance if back to best. Long-standing maiden ran well above his mark in C&D contest a year ago.
9th	1 9th (1) (100/1 -525%) Beanie To Sea	100 100/1(-525%)	(1) Beanie To Sea 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 80/1, last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago. 9/14 on last Flat run. Cut no ice in maidens at three; missed last year; similar story over hurdles this year.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 +44%) Kratos	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Kratos 14/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 18/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 14 days ago. Beaten just over a length when fourth over this trip at Down Royal in June; poor lately.

LTO Selection:

YESTER ran more than creditably on the beach last year when pipped by a head in a a maiden over this trip and can go one better. Trainer James McAuley has a good handle on this grade of race and claimed Yester after he was beaten just over two lengths into fourth at Dundalk in July. Rachael Blackmore is a notable booking for Clarinbridge who won on penultimate start over an extended 7f at Ayr. General Idea's eighth place in Cork can be marked up as he was beaten just over two lengths at the finish, and the handicapper has dropped him a further 1lb.

YESTER is hardly one for maximum faith but he ran a bit better in a Dundalk claimer last time and was second in a maiden at this meeting last year so perhaps he can finally get off the mark. The Rachael Blackmore-ridden Clarinbridge is second choice ahead of General Idea.

His C&D second to a horse now rated 100 really stands out and this is a big chance for YESTER (nap) to finally get a win on the board

17:45 Laytown Claimer 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:15 Laytown Maiden 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +65%) Allo Arry	3 3/1(+65%)	(1) Allo Arry 3/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 14/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Did well to finish third from a bad draw in a 7f handicap at Roscommon last week.
2	3 2nd (3) (1/1 +20%) Expound	1 1/1(+20%)	(3) Expound 1/1, Fairly useful gelding. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in maiden at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 5 days ago, no match for winner. Has best chance on form. Wants further than 7f but may get away with it in this modest a maiden.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +68%) I Know I Can	16 16/1(+68%)	(4) I Know I Can 16/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Last of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Longstanding maiden who is very much up against it on these terms.
4	10 4th (10) (18/1 -300%) Ta Na La	18 18/1(-300%)	(10) Ta Na La 18/1, Fair filly. 9/2, bit below form fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on first time on the Flat. She might find this trip on the sharp side but one of the more talented runners.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -120%) Knight Sleeper	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Knight Sleeper 22/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Sixth of 8 in maiden (9/1) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Hasn't progressed from his decent debut but it's still early days and the ability is there.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -733%) Carrickfinn	100 100/1(-733%)	(2) Carrickfinn 100/1, Lightly-raced gelding on Flat. 200/1, pulled up in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving P. J. Rothwell. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Shown precious little so far and was last seen pulling up on the AW last November.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -78%) Baalbec Beauty	8 8/1(-78%)	(8) Baalbec Beauty 8/1, Fair mare. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 14/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 27 days ago. Respected. None too consistent but only just missed out in a 7f Gowran handicap last month.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -52%) My Joker	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) My Joker 100/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 66/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Ex-British gelding who is 0-24 overall and has a basement handicap mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (6.5/1 +54%) Secret Spy	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(7) Secret Spy 6.5/1, Fair gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good, 12/1) 80 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Lightly raced and has hinted at winning potential in maiden and handicap company.
10th	9 10th (9) (66/1 +0%) Maid Of Eirinn	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Maid Of Eirinn 66/1, 25/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Well beaten at Roscommon last week on her return from a long absence; rated only 45.

LTO Selection:

BAALBEC BEAUTY left a trio of unplaced runs well behind when pipped by a neck in Gowran Park. The horse that beat her endorsed the form when following up in Killarney. Allo Arry has been placed in two of his last three outings and should be a factor under 5lb-claimer Adam Caffrey. Expound takes a marked drop in trip in a bid to snap a string of five placed runs in a row. His consistency is likely to stand to him in this company. Knight Sleeper is far from exposed and tries a new trip while Ta Na La reverts back to the Flat after hurdling, and has placed form at Dundalk in the book.

EXPOUND's limitations are pretty well established but he probably won't get a better chance to win a maiden if handling the track. Baalbec Beauty and Ta Na La head the opposition.

This looks a good opportunity for EXPOUND to finally get off the mark and see his consistency rewarded.

18:15 Laytown Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:45 Laytown Handicap 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (7/1 -40%) Punk Poet	7 7/1(-40%)	(8) Punk Poet 7/1, Latest win at Dundalk in August. Sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 12 days ago, folding. Won on the AW before well behind at Navan; not the easiest to predict.
2	9 2nd (9) (3.2/1 +47%) Barbapapa	3.2 3.2/1(+47%)	(9) Barbapapa 3.2/1, Didn't need to improve to win 15-runner handicap (15/2) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 26 days ago, just holding on. Not taken lightly from 4 lb higher. 1m Dundalk winner who doubled his tally in a 7f Leopardstown handicap last month.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.25/1 +55%) Hightimeyouwon	1.25 1.25/1(+55%)	(1) Hightimeyouwon 1.25/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. 7/1, won 11-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 19 days ago, suited by way race developed. Knows how to win, including off this mark last time out; usually wears headgear.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -71%) Benavente	12 12/1(-71%)	(7) Benavente 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable second of 11 in claimer at Dundalk (7f, 2/1) 62 days ago, conceding first run. First run for yard after leaving Richard John O'Brien. Looked unlucky in a 1m handicap at Leopardstown before finishing second in a 7f AW claimer.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -214%) Set Point	22 22/1(-214%)	(2) Set Point 22/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 14/1) 18 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, creditable effort on last Flat outing. Useful hurdler who has mostly been running well this year; has decent Flat form.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 -52%) Invincible Larne	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Invincible Larne 50/1, Unreliable sort. 40/1, 9 lengths last of 11 to Hightimeyouwon in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 19 days ago, missing break. Excellent stable debut when second at Leopardstown (7f) but regressed since then.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -40%) Tai Sing Yeh	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Tai Sing Yeh 14/1, 3 wins from 19 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in July. Second of 12 in claimer (11/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 26 days ago. Has good chance on form from this mark. Multiple winner who goes well at Dundalk and latest effort (2nd) was positive.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +29%) Eastern Wind	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Eastern Wind 10/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in July. Bit below form tenth of 17 in handicap (9/2) at Navan (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Saves best for Leopardstown and is usually opposable elsewhere.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 -78%) Royal Pippen	16 16/1(-78%)	(5) Royal Pippen 16/1, Good third of 17 in handicap (11/1) at Navan (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Looks competitive on form if coping with this surface. Not that consistent but he was bang there in a big field at Navan (1m) 12 days ago.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 -108%) Stormie Outlook	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Stormie Outlook 25/1, 25/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 5 days ago. Down in trip. Maiden but capable; unraced on sand or AW so these conditions are a grey area.

LTO Selection:

Adrian McGuinness and Patrick Mullins teamed up to win this race last year and could repeat the feat with HIGHTIMEYOUWON. This seven-year-old gelding just shaded a handicap at Leopardstown by a short head last month and goes to war off the same mark of 80. This is a competitive race and Barbapapa brings plenty to it as he was another winner at Leopardstown in August. Jockey John Gleeson's 5lb claim is a bonus. Set Point has been keeping good company over flights and was runner-up in a valuable contest at Bellewstown in July. He should be competitive here. Royal Pippen and Punk Poet are both in contention for prize money.

The handicapper has been quick to relent regarding TAI SING YEH and given his AW record, hopes are high on this surface. Barbapapa is a low-mileage 4-y-o going the right way so he's a threat, along with Hightimeyouwon.

A few with chances. BARBAPAPA benefited from an enterprising ride last time but could still follow up off what remains a good mark.

18:45 Laytown Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:15 Laytown Stakes 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (1/1 -10%) Vega Magnifico	1 1/1(-10%)	(4) Vega Magnifico 1/1, Useful gelding. Twentieth of 22 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 17 days ago. Huge chance on these terms. Listed placed and with that form he's the highest rated in this field by some way.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/1 +70%) Indulging	10 10/1(+70%)	(6) Indulging 10/1, Fair gelding. Fourth of 7 in maiden at Clonmel (9.6f, good, 25/1) 5 days ago. Down in trip and will need to find a chunk of improvement from somewhere if he's to take this. Longstanding maiden and another in here for whom 7f looks far too sharp a distance.
3	5 3rd (5) (66/1 -100%) Mater Matuta	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Mater Matuta 66/1, Modest mare. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Significantly down in trip and hard to fancy on these terms. Flat/hurdle/chase winner; not having bad year under either code but these terms are tough.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 +9%) Lockdown	20 20/1(+9%)	(3) Lockdown 20/1, Fair gelding. 50/1, fifteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 17 days ago. Mountain to climb on these terms. AW winner in Britain; unlikely to be doubling his tally at these weights.
5th	1 5th (1) (1.25/1 +23%) Arniemac	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(1) Arniemac 1.25/1, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 11-runner maiden (4/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) when last seen in May, suited by increase in trip. Should cope with drop to 7f and she remains open to improvement. Yard also saddles Vega Magnifico. Never in much doubt when impressively off the mark in a 1m maiden at Killarney in May.
6th	2 6th (2) (20/1 -186%) Herculaneum	20 20/1(-186%)	(2) Herculaneum 20/1, Fairly useful gelding. Winner at Down Royal in July. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (17f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Running well and looks worthy of his mark, but the sharp drop in distance is a worry.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 +20%) Knock Flyer	100 100/1(+20%)	(7) Knock Flyer 100/1, Modest gelding. 250/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) 112 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Limited maiden who has been tailed off over hurdles this year.

LTO Selection:

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand with VEGA MAGNIFICO and Arniemac. The former is comfortably the highest rated in the field with a mark of 98 and should relish this marked drop in class. He wasn't a factor in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh or in a Listed race at Roscommon, however, just three runs back he finished a close third in Listed class at Leopardstown. Arniemac was last seen decisively winning a maiden at Killarney in May. Winners have come out of that race and he ought to go well in this company. Herculaneum is rated 1lb inferior to Arniemac on a mark of 82 and was a comprehensive winner of a staying handicap at Down Royal in July. This trip is sharp for him, but he is well ahead of the remainder on official ratings.

On the face of it, ARNIEMAC faces a stiff task against stablemate Vega Magnifico, given that he would be meeting that rival on 15 lb better terms if this were a handicap. Conversely, the son of Fascinating Rock looked good when winning a Killarney maiden on his latest start and, with just three starts under his belt, he is armed with potential. The Joseph O'Brien-trained duo look set to fight out the finish, with Herculaneum expected to claim minor place money.
