14:00 Listowel Maiden 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (1/4 +69%) Thrice	0.25 1/4(+69%)	(7) Thrice 1/4, Promising individual. Blinkered, third of 15 in maiden (8/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 31 days ago, clear of rest. Trainer going well. Obvious claims. Got no cover at the Curragh but still ran on well to be beaten under a length into third.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -27%) Hostility	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Hostility 7/2, Promising sort. 6/1, fourth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 45 days ago. Open to progress. Yard also saddles Kahu. Fourth in a 7f maiden at the Curragh that has worked out well; strong contender.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 -100%) Kahu	14 14/1(-100%)	(3) Kahu 14/1, Once-raced colt. Tongue strap on, fourth of 16 in maiden (10/1) at Gowran (7f, good) on debut 41 days ago. May well do better. Also had tongue tied on debut and was beaten just over 3l at Gowran.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -32%) Spartan Soldier	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Spartan Soldier 33/1, Once-raced colt. Eighth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 8/1) on debut. Off 156 days. Only 8-1 when well held on testing ground in a good maiden at the Curragh.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -29%) Full Power	9 9/1(-29%)	(1) Full Power 9/1, Foaled February 19. €260,000 yearling, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to French 1½m winner Shahinda and French 1¼m-1½m winner Shahnameh. Wears blinkers. Ryan Moore prefers Thrice. Top pedigree but blinkers go on from the outset and Ryan Moore rides the yard's other one.
6th	5 6th (5) (125/1 +17%) Parkside Prince	125 125/1(+17%)	(5) Parkside Prince 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. 100/1, twenty-first of 22 in minor event at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 9 days ago. Beaten 13l and 21l in his two runs, the latest a sales race at the Curragh; limited appeal.
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 0%) Nell's Dream	50 50/1(0%)	(10) Nell's Dream 50/1, Foaled March 14. €35,000 foal, €35,000 yearling, Kodiac filly. Dam, 8.6f winner who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to useful 11.5f-1¾m winner Amerigo out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Geminiani. Kodiac filly who cost 35,000euros as a yearling; dam 8.6f AW winner (RPR 73).
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -100%) Shangar	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Shangar 100/1, (Production):first foal: dam, French 2-y-o 9.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1m/9f winner Absolutly Yes. Dam French 9.5f AW 2yo winner (RPR 78); makes sense to check the market on debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (150/1 +0%) Trubshaw	150 150/1(+0%)	(8) Trubshaw 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 13 in maiden at Punchestown (8.1f, good, 200/1) 7 days ago. Down the field in 1m1f/1m maidens and one for handicaps at a later date.

It isn't difficult to envisage THRICE going forward from his near rail-side draw in stall two, in a bid to put the benefit of his experience to good use. All eyes will be on the Wootton Bassett colt, as his rider Ryan Moore debuts at Listowel. Moore triumphed on the selection's stable companion, Officer, when Thrice finished third on his first start at the Curragh last month. There was undoubted merit in the Ballydoyle juvenile's finishing spurt on that occasion, and the blinkers deployed then are unsurprisingly retained now. Aidan O'Brien has care of Thrice, and there is strong O'Brien family representation all told, with Joseph and Donnacha also fielding runners. The former's Hostility looks well-placed to at least contend for a place in the frame.

THRICE made a bright start to his career when a close third to stablemate Officer, who was the mount of Ryan Moore, on debut at the Curragh last month. Moore is aboard the son of Wootton Bassett this time (ahead of Ballydoyle newcomer Full Power) and he should prove hard to beat. Hostility shaped well on his introduction at the same course and is feared most ahead of Full Power.

Considering he got no cover it was highly encouraging that THRICE was still strong through the line when third at the Curragh.

14:00 Listowel Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Listowel Handicap 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
17	17 (17) (20/1 -67%) Adam's Boy	20 20/1(-67%)	(17) Adam's Boy 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, good fifth of 17 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Needs considering. RESERVE. Second reserve; lightly raced and latest 2l defeat at Cork was his best run yet.
1	14 1st (14) (11/2 +54%) Amemri	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(14) Amemri 11/2, Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 13 days ago. One for the shortlist. Three wins last year, twice over 7f; off a reduced mark and last two runs were better.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 -12%) Nika Pika	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Nika Pika 28/1, 25/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago, folding. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. Competitive on occasions in handicaps but only won a claimer and others more convincing.
3	13 3rd (13) (14/1 +0%) Seas And Oceans	14 14/1(+0%)	(13) Seas And Oceans 14/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good, 9/1) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. All over the shop trip-wise this year but best efforts were his two seconds over 1m.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +9%) Skontonovski	5 5/1(+9%)	(10) Skontonovski 5/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in July. Solid third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 7 days ago, despite racing wide. Back down in trip. Player off an unchanged mark. 7f winner at Fairyhouse in July and nothing wrong with his third at Punchestown last week.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 -155%) Simple Endeavour	7 7/1(-155%)	(7) Simple Endeavour 7/1, 7/2, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 23 days ago. Down in trip and ought to be thereabouts. Close up the last twice at 1m2f and 1m1f; expect a positive ride back at this trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -50%) Dark Viper	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Dark Viper 6/1, Good second of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft, 8/1) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Now 0-12 but has been running well from 6f to an extended 7f.
7th	2 7th (2) (15/2 +25%) Golden Days	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(2) Golden Days 15/2, Latest win at Gowran in July. 18/1, respectable eleventh of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Stable in good form. Enters calculations. Gowran winner two runs back; below par since but a player if back in the zone.
8th	9 8th (9) (4/1 +27%) Akeela	4 4/1(+27%)	(9) Akeela 4/1, Winner at Naas in July. 12/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt. 40-1 Naas win was no fluke having performed well in her two subsequent runs.
9th	18 9th (18) (11/1 +45%) Purring Along	11 11/1(+45%)	(18) Purring Along 11/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago, slowly away. RESERVE. Third reserve; both wins on slow ground and form on quicker surfaces is less convincing.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 +0%) Draiocht	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Draiocht 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Nothing to shout about in maidens (1m-1m2f) and he's back in distance for handicap debut.
11th	8 11th (8) (10/1 +50%) The Cola Brasil	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) The Cola Brasil 10/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Two years since last successful and has finished well beaten in two runs after a break.
12th	15 12th (15) (80/1 -60%) Second Fiddle	80 80/1(-60%)	(15) Second Fiddle 80/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft, 66/1) 22 days ago, very slowly away. Still a maiden and she's not getting any better; held by a few of these on recent form.
13th	11 13th (11) (25/1 +24%) Rock Dandy	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Rock Dandy 25/1, 25/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 59 days ago so needs to bounce back. Won twice last year, both handicaps over 7f; well below form in two starts this term.
14th	3 14th (3) (80/1 -60%) What A Squeeze	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) What A Squeeze 80/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Cork (9f, good to firm, 80/1) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Threatened for previous yard but hasn't had a sniff in three runs for this one; opposable.

It's not often that connections of SIMPLE ENDEAVOUR find themselves competing down at this level. Nonetheless it'll be viewed as an important project, to secure a winning bracket with a well-bred filly such as this, after her purchase for a huge sum as a yearling in 2022. The daughter of Dubawi has had to miss out on a couple of intended assignments in recent times but patience could be rewarded now. She's joined here by stable companion and top-weight Dark Viper, and he's undoubtedly a player too. Back-in-trip Simple Endeavour can turn silver to gold though, after going close the last twice, from the plum draw in stall one. Sneddy Eddie has the form to make a telling impression. The presence of Colin Keane on his back will only go to heighten the confidence of his backers.

Lots with chances but SKONTONOVSKI signalled he is ready to go in again when an encouraging third at Punchestown so edges the vote. Akeela heads the list of dangers on the back of her good Cork second, although Golden Days, Dark Viper and Nika Pika all need factoring in too.

Wide open. SIMPLE ENDEAVOUR has to be ridden positively over this shorter trip and she's dropped lucky with the draw in that respect.

14:35 Listowel Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Listowel Handicap 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 -14%) Ramiro	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Ramiro 8/1, C&D winner. 16/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 52 days ago, left poorly placed. Five-time winner, won on heavy over C&D in 2020, rain would enhance his chance.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/2 +61%) Dragon Of Malta	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(10) Dragon Of Malta 11/2, C&D winner. Last of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Galway (7f, soft) 52 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won this last year off 76, poor effort latest, C&D form figures of 341, could revive.
3	12 3rd (12) (5/1 +9%) Summer Snow	5 5/1(+9%)	(12) Summer Snow 5/1, Latest win at Gowran in June. 7/2, below form eleventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 38 days ago, not knocked about. Not taken lightly. Two wins at Gowran over 7f this term, 6f too sharp on latest, chance with Keane up again.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 -63%) Perfect Judgement	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(7) Perfect Judgement 13/2, 7/1, improved on recent efforts to win 18-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) 33 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Won at Leopardstown latest, up 5lb but could be more to come, well drawn, obvious chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -40%) Linger For Longer	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Linger For Longer 14/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Limerick in July. 13/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do. Won twice this year, ground possibly too quick on latest, has course form, place chance.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -40%) Eddie G	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Eddie G 7/1, Good second of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good, 5/1) 14 days ago. Possibilities. Second at the Galway Festival, good run back there latest, career high mark, thereabouts.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 +21%) Mount Ruapehu	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Mount Ruapehu 11/1, 22/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 52 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Solid efforts here in June and at Fairyhouse in July, ground too soft latest, interesting.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +0%) Racing Royalty	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Racing Royalty 12/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 22/1) 52 days ago. Shaped well on penultimate start and he looks competitive on form. Good run at Tipperary in May, best form on testing ground so needs rain, others preferred.
9th	1 9th (1) (12/1 -118%) Ferrybank	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) Ferrybank 12/1, 11/2, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 75 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won three times this year, should have a place chance but vulnerable for win purposes.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 -14%) Free Solo	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Free Solo 16/1, 9/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (7f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Won at Dundalk in January, no win on turf since 2019, others have more pressing claims.
11th	3 11th (3) (28/1 -40%) Tawaazon	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Tawaazon 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Ground versatile, beaten 1l off 81 in July, 7lb lower now, has course form, not discounted.
12th	9 12th (9) (15/2 +25%) Louiescall	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(9) Louiescall 15/2, 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 52 days ago. Others have achieved more. 0-7, sound efforts last five starts, behind a couple of these on latest, needs more to win.

LOUIESCALL returns to Listowel, after a third placed run here in June. Connections kept the Soldier's Call gelding busy at the Galway festival, and though his second effort didn't match the first in a couple of outings at Ballybrit, there are still grounds for optimism. Granted, Louiescall is the only maiden in this line-up, but as the least experienced he is likely one of those with the most scope for progression. Trainer Harry Kelly is presumably still learning with the youngster. The cheekpieces he had on last time are dispensed with for this assignment, where his prominent racing style can put him right in the firing line come the business end. Others may prefer the tried and tested. To that end previous Listowel winners Ramiro, Dragon Of Malta and Racing Royalty will appeal.

PERFECT JUDGEMENT got on top close home at Leopardstown and he is taken to follow up off this 5 lb higher mark here. Next on the list is Summer Snow, who is much better than she was able to show at the Curragh last time. Eddie G, Ferrybank and Racing Royalty all make each-way appeal.

MOUNT RUAPEHU shaped well over 6.5f here in June, he's 3lb lower now and he can be forgiven his last run on account of soft ground.

15:10 Listowel Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Listowel Listed 9f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +29%) Curvature	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Curvature 5/1, Useful filly. 5/1, creditable 1¼ lengths fourth of 9 to One Look in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Talented filly but seems to need plenty of juice underfoot to show her best form.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 -38%) Princess Child	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(9) Princess Child 11/2, Useful filly. 9/2, length second of 9 to One Look in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago, with reopposing stablemate Mexicali Rose just behind in third. One to consider. Brings solid form claims after two seconds in Listed races (7f/1m).
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +14%) Fleur De Chine	3 3/1(+14%)	(8) Fleur De Chine 3/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in June. 6½ lengths seventh of 9 to Greenfinch in listed race (3/1) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 69 days ago. Gowran Classic winner; no further progress but one of the better ones in today's company.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +58%) Kayhana	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(3) Kayhana 17/2, Fairly useful filly. Respectable 4¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Raknah in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft, 11/1) 54 days ago. Up in trip. Only 1-9 and no better than fifth in three previous Listed assignments.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +38%) Mexicali Rose	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) Mexicali Rose 5/1, Useful filly. Latest win at Galway in July. 17/2, creditable length third of 9 to One Look in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Has good chance on form. A repeat of her latest close third in a Listed race (1m) won't see her far away.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +11%) Mundi	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Mundi 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 6½ lengths fifth of 8 to Lord Massusus in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good, 17/2) in June. Given a break since and retains potential on return with Ryan Moore siding with him over Bomberg. Never well positioned in a Listed race last time; back from a break and still unexposed.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Cancelled	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Cancelled 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Gowran in August. Last of 5 in minor event at Roscommon (10.3f, soft, 10/3) 22 days ago. Has a bit to find at this level. Has only won a Gowran maiden and has her work cut out on these terms.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -67%) Bomberg	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Bomberg 10/1, 11/2, won 9-runner maiden at Limerick (8f, good) on debut 79 days ago, comfortably. Ryan Moore sides with Mundi but this son of Siyouni surely has more to come. Won an ordinary maiden on debut but this colt has the build to improve with his racing.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -52%) Solar Breeze	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Solar Breeze 100/1, Fairly useful mare. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 19 in handicap (28/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 10 days ago, slowly away. Exposed two-time winner and these terms are surely too tough to overcome.

Third in this event last year behind her stable companion, the hugely surprising 80/1 victor, Maud Gonne Spirit, perhaps it'll be a slightly better outcome for CURVATURE this time around. Jessica Harrington's stable jockey Shane Foley is on Fleur De Chine, and that's hardly surprising given that she gave her rider a big pay-day at Gowran back in high summer. It shouldn't neccessarily detract from the confidence of those rowing in with Curvature though, given that Colin Keane takes the reins for the first time. The addition of cheekpieces may help to eke out that bit more from the marginal first choice. She only yielded close home in a similar heat at Killarney a month ago. Curvature, Princess Child and Mexicali Rose are closely matched on evidence from then.

It might be worth chancing MUNDI back from a break with Ryan Moore over for the ride. Mexicali Rose, Princess Child and Curvature are closely matched on last month's Killarney form and should be in the mix again, while the selection's stablemate Bomberg has the potential for plenty of improvement after his debut success.

Opportunity knocks in not the strongest of Listed races. PRINCESS CHILD (nap) has been running well and this longer trip should help.

16:20 Listowel Stakes 8f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +0%) Medici Venus	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(3) Medici Venus 15/8, Thrice-raced maiden who took another step forward when second of 16 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) 14 days ago. Yard in good form and may do better still. Touched off by a well-regarded sort last time, goes up in trip, has to be considered.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 +50%) The Marty Party	10 10/1(+50%)	(7) The Marty Party 10/1, Confirmed the improvement shown last time in opening his account in 11-runner nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm, 3/1) 18 days ago. This is tougher. Won nursery off 63, poorly treated by race conditions, looks the yard's second string.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +0%) Sir Jeremy	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Sir Jeremy 5/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago, soon clear. Likely to progress further and has leading claims. Promise in maidens, hacked up on handicap debut, tougher race now but should go well.
4	4 4th (4) (6/5 +88%) Drivers Seat	1.2 6/5(+88%)	(4) Drivers Seat 6/5, Showed more than on debut when third of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm, 9/2) 47 days ago. Open to further progress. Promise in both maidens, had a next time out winner behind on latest, needs more to win.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -175%) No Return	22 22/1(-175%)	(1) No Return 22/1, Ran close to previous form when third of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 23 days ago. Hood on for 1st time. Closely matched with Shiota on debut run, not so good on latest but can't discount; hooded.

Conditions are unlikely to suit dual winner Lady O, with the Australia filly taken out of a Group 3 at the Curragh last month due to quick ground. Off the same mark of 87, MEDICI VENUS is the selection. Badly hampered when still in with every chance on her penultimate start at Naas, she went down narrowly when last seen at Galway. Clearly progressive, it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Drivers Seat has two solid efforts to his name and looks a winner in waiting. Third at Leopardstown on his latest start, he was a place ahead of subsequent impressive Galway victor Trinity College. O'Brien also saddles The Marty Party who has plenty to find on ratings, while Shiota and the Adrian McGuinness pair of Sir Jeremy and No Return (first time hood) complete the line-up.

SIR JEREMY took a big step forward when running out a wide-margin winner of a Down Royal nursery 18 days ago and looks capable of following up with further progress on the cards. Drivers Seat is another progressing nicely, with Lady O and Medici Venus others warranting plenty of respect.

Perhaps MEDICI VENUS can get her head in front. She was narrowly denied at Galway and her pedigree suggests this trip is worth a go.

16:55 Listowel Handicap 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +38%) Global Energy	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Global Energy 5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in May. Off 3 months, bit below form fifteenth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 18/1) 24 days ago. Four-time winner, 3lb above last win, beaten off revised rating latest, others preferred.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/1 -100%) Orandi	10 10/1(-100%)	(9) Orandi 10/1, Winner at the Curragh in May. 5/2, third of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Shortlist material. Slow starts and traffic issues last two runs, best on testing ground, probably needs rain.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 -113%) Monasterboice	4 4/1(-113%)	(2) Monasterboice 4/1, Latest win at Killarney in August. Good second of 12 in minor event at Galway (8.4f, good, 3/1) 14 days ago. Thriving and respected back in a handicap. Just denied four-timer latest, career high mark, wide draw, vulnerable for win purposes.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -20%) Emporio	9 9/1(-20%)	(1) Emporio 9/1, Bit below form sixth of 12 in minor event (12/1) at Galway (8.4f, good) 14 days ago, left with lot to do. Could fare better in a handicap. Not a bad effort at Galway last time, has C&D form, ground should suit, not discounted.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 +0%) Facethepuckout	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Facethepuckout 16/1, Course winner. Latest win at Naas in July. Twenty first of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 100/1) 24 days ago. Had been in good form before that. Won on seasonal return, course winner probably best on soft ground, can't fully discount.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +64%) Narmar	5 5/1(+64%)	(5) Narmar 5/1, C&D winner. Respectable eighth of 24 in handicap (28/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 24 days ago, not clear run 2f out and not knocked about. Tongue strap on 1st time. Interesting. Sole win came in a C&D maiden, traffic problems two of last three runs, big chance.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -482%) Exquisite Acclaim	16 16/1(-482%)	(4) Exquisite Acclaim 16/1, Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 11/1) 41 days ago. Not an obvious type to follow up. First turf win on latest at Gowran (7f), same mark but is drawn wide, others preferred.
8th	3 8th (3) (9/1 +64%) Simply Sideways	9 9/1(+64%)	(3) Simply Sideways 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Gowran in May. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap (22/1) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 54 days ago, struggling when badly hampered. Others more persuasive. Six-time winner, back down to last winning mark, won here last year, chance if it rains.
9th	8 9th (8) (3/1 +85%) No More Porter	3 3/1(+85%)	(8) No More Porter 3/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form thirteenth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 22/1) 9 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in distance. Not beaten far last twice, went close off this mark in June, rain would enhance his chance.

Despite the fact his winning streak came to an end at Galway, MONASTERBOICE looks difficult to oppose. Reeled in close home at Ballybrit, the likeable three-time winner lost little in defeat. While the only three-year-old in the line-up here, he is the highest rated on a mark of 93. No More Porter should appreciate this drop in class and is given second preference after finishing a fine sixth of 24 in the Cambridgeshire on his penultimate start. His stable companion Exquisite Acclaim won when last seen at Gowran and is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to follow-up. Course winners Facethepuckout, Simply Sideways and Narmar all warrant respect, with the latter, who is fitted with a tongue strap for the first time, of definite interest after finishing a never nearer eighth when last seen in the Cambridgeshire.

NARMAR caught the eye in the Irish Cambridgeshire, sure to have finished closer granted a clear run, and he could be the way to go back at the scene of his sole success. Orandi and Monasterboice are a couple of the other likely players.

It might be worth chancing C&D maiden winner NARMAR who has been unlucky in two of his last three starts in premier handicaps.

Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap (11/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 31 days ago, having to pick way through. Significantly up in trip. Can make presence felt. Killarney handicap winner in May off 74, 3lb higher, up in trip but not bred for this test.
4	2 4th (2) (2/1 -14%) Rosso	2 2/1(-14%)	(2) Rosso 2/1, Promising type. 8/11, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 22 days ago, comfortably. Makes handicap debut from a very fair mark and there's more to come. Off the mark in soft ground maiden latest, acts on good, handicap bow, up in trip, chance.

Fairly useful on the Flat, creditable fifth on last Flat outing. No win since debut, unseated over hurdles latest, unproven at this trip, others preferred.
6th	1 6th (1) (13/2 -18%) Highland Bling	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) Highland Bling 13/2, Winner at Fairyhouse in June. 11/4, second of 4 in handicap at Gowran (12.4f, good) 41 days ago, rallying. Can give another good account. Front-runner, beaten a neck last two starts, worth a try at this trip, bold bid expected.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/2 -5%) Emphasis	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(4) Emphasis 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. 15¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Chemistry in listed race at Leopardstown (14f, good, 18/1) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut for top yard. Killarney maiden winner, form is solid, could be well treated and this easier than latest.

The progressive ROSSO might be able to take this on his first try in handicap company. A real stayer, the Camelot bay will appreciate this step up in trip and is versatile regards ground. Beaten by a neck on recent starts at Galway and Gowran respectively, Highland Bling certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. The highest rated runner in the line-up, he too is upped in trip and will be ridden by Keithen Kennedy who claims a valuable 7lb. While he failed to make an impact when last seen in a Listed heat at Leopardstown, a much improved performance is likely from the Aidan O'Brien-trained Emphasis. A never nearer fourth at the Curragh last month, Slurricane warrants respect, while dual winner Granite Bay is another for the shortlist.

ROSSO created a good impression when landing the odds without too much difficulty at Roscommon 3 weeks ago and with the prospect of further progress now handicapping, he makes plenty of appeal. Emphasis and Highland Bling could be the main dangers.

The form of EMPHASIS' maiden win at Killarney has received a couple of boosts and he could be on a nice mark for his handicap debut.
