(1) Galveston 10/3, 2,000,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1½m Bizarre Law. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, sister to high-class 1¼m-1½m winner Cannock Chase. Last of 7 in maiden at this course (7f, good to firm, 4/6) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Frankel colt, cost 2,000,000gns as a yearling, debut at this venue too bad to be true.

2nd (4) (9/4 -20%) Local Lad
2.25
9/4(-20%)
(4) Local Lad 9/4, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 8 in novice (2/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 26 days ago, slowly away. Sets a solid standard. Form of Curragh debut makes good reading, should be sharper for last month's Thirsk run.

3rd (9) (7/2 +42%) Nuit
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(9) Nuit 7/2, Foaled January 26. 145,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Amazona out of Preis der Diana winner Amarette. One to note. Cost 145,000gns as a yearling, solid German pedigree geared towards further than this.

14
14/1(+44%)
(3) Junkyard Dog 14/1, Fastnet Rock gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Golden Bungle. Dam, ran once in France, out of Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Necklace. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, soft, 33/1) on debut 6 days ago, missing break. Late headway when 33-1 stable outsider on debut at Tipperary a week ago, likely to improve.

5th (5) (66/1 +34%) Mocking
66
66/1(+34%)
(5) Mocking 66/1, Twice-raced colt. Tenth of 13 in maiden (80/1) at Punchestown (8.1f, good) 25 days ago. Soundly beaten in maidens over this trip at the Curragh and Punchestown.
6th

6th (7) (20/1 +20%) Adrienne
20
20/1(+20%)
(7) Adrienne 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Late progress in races over 7f here and 1m1f at the Curragh, will need a handicap mark.
7th
2
7th (2) (3/1 -85%) Jousting
3
3/1(-85%)
(2) Jousting 3/1, Foaled February 26. $1,200,000 yearling, Into Mischief colt. Brother to US Grade 1 winner at 1m/9f Gina Romantica and half-brother to several winners, including US Grade 1 9f winner Gift Box. Dam lightly raced. Likely type. Cost $1,200,000 as a yearling, smart American pedigree, an easy surface hardly ideal.
8th
10
8th (10) (100/1 0%) Prada's World
100
100/1(0%)
(10) Prada's World 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 15 in maiden (150/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Towards the rear first time at Galway, improved at Cork but more of a handicap prospect..
9th
6
9th (6) (40/1 +39%) Superficial
40
40/1(+39%)
(6) Superficial 40/1, Foaled March 29. Galileo Chrome colt. Half-brother to high-class winner up to 1½m Al Riffa. Dam unraced sister to smart 1½m winner (stayed 2½m) Mizzou out of smart 1½m-1¾m winner Moments of Joy. Noteworthy on pedigree as a half-brother to National Stakes winner Al Riffa.
10th
8
10th (8) (150/1 -355%) Miss Ariana
150
150/1(-355%)
(8) Miss Ariana 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 15 days ago. Engaged 5.25 Dundalk Friday. Ran prominently on debut at Cork, no show at Dundalk, unlikely to feature here.
11th
11
11th (11) (150/1 -50%) Ro Ro
150
150/1(-50%)
(11) Ro Ro 150/1, Churchill filly. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 5.5f/6.5f winner Sonjeu and half-sister to 5f-14.5f winner Born To Be Alive, both in France, and 1½m winner Alcander. Last of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Tipperary (9f, soft) on debut 6 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Raced too freely, eased to finish tailed off when a big price on debut last Sunday, hooded.
LOCAL LAD can continue the fine recent form of the Gerard O'Leary stable. Considered good enough to make his debut in Group 3 class at the Curragh in May, the son of Sea The Moon justified that decision in finishing a close up fourth. Despite a slightly disappointing reappearance at Thirsk last month, the gelding is afforded another chance on this third start. A full-brother to a three-time Grade 1 winner in America, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Jousting has to be of interest. Although lacking previous experience, the Into Mischief colt has the pedigree to make up into a pattern performer. Stablemate Galveston, who proved disappointing when sent off odds-on favourite on his recent debut, is almost certainly capable of better.
LOCAL LAD is worth another chance to confirm debut promise in a maiden lacking depth. Jousting and Nuit are a couple of newcomers to note.
Neither Ballydoyle colt would be a surprise winner but the form horse is LOCAL LAD who has shown promise on both starts.
(7) Uncanny 11/8, Promising type. Second of 7 in maiden at Navan (8f, good to soft, 4/11) in May, headed final 100 yds but well clear of remainder. Absent since but she sets the standard and rates the one to beat. Encouraging debut when second to subsequent Irish Cambridgeshire runner-up State Actor.
2
11
2nd (11) (7/1 +30%) Lady Pagasa
7
7/1(+30%)
(11) Lady Pagasa 7/1, Fair filly. Respectable fifth of 9 in novice at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/2) 81 days ago, merely closing up late. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills. Stable having good spell. 0-7 after finishing 5th at Lingfield; first run for Johnny Murtagh and first try at 1m.
3
5
3rd (5) (2/1 +33%) Ocean Manifest
2
2/1(+33%)
(5) Ocean Manifest 2/1, Encouraging start when second on debut at Fairyhouse (7f) in July but proved disappointing in first-time hood when thirteenth of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm, 2/1) 65 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's worth another chance. Has a leading chance judged on his debut second over 7f at Fairyhouse in July.
4
9
4th (9) (9/2 +50%) Auburn Avenue
4.5
9/2(+50%)
(9) Auburn Avenue 9/2, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) in May, headway out wide over 1f out and keeping on. Return to 1m ought to be in her favour back from a break. Solid maiden form and wasn't seen to best effect in a pair of 7f handicaps back in May.
5th
8
5th (8) (16/1 -14%) Aoife's Territory
16
16/1(-14%)
(8) Aoife's Territory 16/1, Once-raced filly. Hooded tongue strap on, seventh of 11 in maiden (20/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) on debut 19 days ago, plenty to do under 2f out but making late headway. Should progress. Beaten 7l into seventh at Fairyhouse on her debut last month; step up in trip should suit.
6th
3
6th (3) (25/1 +24%) Desert Of The Sea
25
25/1(+24%)
(3) Desert Of The Sea 25/1, €32,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f winner Helvezia and 7f/1m winner Well Suited. Dam unraced. Cost 32,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to six winners; market will guide.
7th
13
7th (13) (100/1 -150%) Winged Victory
100
100/1(-150%)
(13) Winged Victory 100/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago, very slowly away and never involved. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Well beaten at Fairyhouse on debut and no better in a 1m fillies' maiden at Bellewstown.
8th
10
8th (10) (40/1 +0%) Coney Rose
40
40/1(+0%)
(10) Coney Rose 40/1, Due Diligence filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Lawyer Up. Dam 1m winner. Cost 6,000euros as a yearling; stable 0-22 on the Flat this year; best watched.
9th
4
9th (4) (50/1 -100%) Lost Soul
50
50/1(-100%)
(4) Lost Soul 50/1, Awtaad gelding who has displayed modest form in a couple of starts to date, fifth of 10 in maiden claimer (20/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 10 days ago. Handicaps promise to be more his thing. Fifth in a maiden claimer at Bellewstown this month; still has plenty to find here.
10th
1
10th (1) (150/1 -127%) Kalash
150
150/1(-127%)
(1) Kalash 150/1, Ivawood gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1¼m winner Brave Troop. Showed only greenness when eleventh of 12 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) on debut 5 days ago. Sent off 125-1 over 1m on debut at Killarney on Monday, he made no impression.
11th
2
11th (2) (125/1 -25%) Danzy Boy
125
125/1(-25%)
(2) Danzy Boy 125/1, Haatef gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Twelfth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 80/1) on debut 39 days ago. Struggled to go the pace when well beaten on his debut over 7f at Gowran last month.
12th
6
12th (6) (125/1 -89%) Arturo Bay
125
125/1(-89%)
(6) Arturo Bay 125/1, Twice-raced filly. First run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when seventeenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 150/1) 13 days ago. Can only be watched. Showed very little on her Dundalk debut last year and no better on first run for this yard.
The Michael O'Callaghan-trained OCEAN MANIFEST can make up for a below par run at Leopardstown. Sent off 2/1f for that latter contest, the colt dropped out of contention over a furlong out. On the basis of his debut second at Fairyhouse in July, the son of Siyouni is the horse to beat. That form was well advertised with the third, fourth and fifth all winning subsequently. A first-time tongue tie should aid his cause here. Auburn Avenue could offer each-way value on her return from a break. Third in a maiden over course and distance in May, the Chris Timmons-trained filly subsequently ran well in handicap company. Sacred Oath is another capable of getting involved at the business end.
UNCANNY shaped well when finishing runner-up both starts during the spring and with further progress likely in the offing back from a break, she can make it third time lucky and go one place better. Ocean Manifest and Sacred Oath are others to consider. Auburn Avenue also makes some each-way appeal.
If UNCANNY (nap) is fit and well after a break, she has the best form in the book and will take all the beating in an ordinary maiden
(4) Last Encore 11/4, In-the-frame in pair of maidens that worked out well and much improved to make a winning nursery debut at Navan (5.8f) 44 days ago, quickening to lead under 2f out and just kept up to work. Still early days with him and highly likely there's more to come. Off the mark at Navan; stable in red-hot form and 8lb rise might not halt his progress.
2
9
2nd (9) (9/1 -38%) Smoke Them Out
9
9/1(-38%)
(9) Smoke Them Out 9/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (7/1) at Cork (6f, soft) 11 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Kodilicious, kept up to work. Had Kodilicious behind when winning at Down Royal and is weighted to beat that rival again.
3
5
3rd (5) (13/2 +28%) Manhattan Chute
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(5) Manhattan Chute 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fourth of 11 in maiden (10/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. Switch to handicaps in his favour and booking of Keane catches the eye. Lesser efforts of late including here last time and will have to do more to get involved.
4
3
4th (3) (14/1 -17%) Snapdragon
14
14/1(-17%)
(3) Snapdragon 14/1, 28/1, 5 lengths ninth of 13 to Lady With The Lamp in listed race at Dundalk (5f) 8 days ago. This rates a more suitable assignment but his revised mark back in handicaps demands more. Faded once they turned for home in Listed grade at Dundalk latest; difficult to trust.
5th
2
5th (2) (10/1 -33%) Kodilicious
10
10/1(-33%)
(2) Kodilicious 10/1, Improving son of Kodi Bear who opened his account in a Sligo maiden (5.7f) in August and stepped up further when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Smoke Them Out in nursery (15/2) at Cork (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Respected for stable who landed this 12 months ago. 2nd to Smoke Them Out over this trip at Cork latest but no better off at the weights.
6th
12
6th (12) (14/1 +44%) Temperance
14
14/1(+44%)
(12) Temperance 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and return to sprinting likely in her favour making handicap debut. Chased home subsequent Listed winner Rebel Diamond over 6f at Cork last month; 3lb wrong.
7th
7
7th (7) (28/1 -75%) No Return
28
28/1(-75%)
(7) No Return 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, last of 5 in minor event (22/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Must find best form. Five-race maiden who makes his handicap debut but might find this trip on the sharp side.
8th
1
8th (1) (8/1 -7%) The Parthenon
8
8/1(-7%)
(1) The Parthenon 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Visored for 1st time, 11¾ lengths last of 8 to Scorthy Champ in National Stakes (66/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 27 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Out of depth in Group 1 latest; interesting handicap debutant; first-time blinkers.
9th
11
9th (11) (25/1 +24%) I'll Be Handy
25
25/1(+24%)
(11) I'll Be Handy 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Eyecatcher when a never-nearer 7th of 14 in a strong 7f Curragh maiden last Saturday.
10th
10
10th (10) (17/2 -31%) South Shore Island
8.5
17/2(-31%)
(10) South Shore Island 17/2, Represents a stable in good form and, with cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved when second of 7 in nursery (5/2) at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 19 days ago. Needs respecting with blinkers now the headgear of choice. Showed ability in maidens and was only headed close home over this trip at Fairyhouse.
11th
14
11th (14) (28/1 +15%) Moonhall Church
28
28/1(+15%)
(14) Moonhall Church 28/1, Winner in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f) in September. Eleventh of 16 in nursery (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago, heavily eased off. Better showing not ruled out. Yard also saddle Moonhall Lass. Failed to follow through with her effort once she hit the front in a 7f Curragh nursery.
12th
6
12th (6) (16/1 +36%) Amazing Athena
16
16/1(+36%)
(6) Amazing Athena 16/1, Course winner. 50/1, 6 lengths twelfth of 13 to Lady With The Lamp in listed race at Dundalk (5f) 8 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Needs to bounce back. Won a fillies' maiden here in July but didn't seem to see out this trip previously.
13th
8
13th (8) (7/1 -75%) Tommy Mcjohn
7
7/1(-75%)
(8) Tommy Mcjohn 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner nursery at this course (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 23 days ago, drawing clear close home. Big shout up 7 lb if headgear has desired effect once more. Gelding operation and first-time blinkers worked the oracle when winning here latest.
14th
13
14th (13) (22/1 -10%) Moonhall Lass
22
22/1(-10%)
(13) Moonhall Lass 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 10 in nursery at Down Royal (5f, soft, 13/2) 12 days ago. Booking of Hassett a plus. Should continue to give a good account. Big effort off top weight back on turf when second at Down Royal; 5lb wrong.
SMOKE THEM OUT can land this valuable prize for trainer Tom McCourt. Although raised 9lb for his recent Cork win, the Sands Of Mali colt was always travelling easily before quickening up smartly to go clear inside the final furlong. In a race where one or two of the leading fancies have questions to answer, the McCourt runner looks the most solid option. Dropping back to sprinting may not be ideal for The Parthenon but Aidan O'Brien's colt is clearly the class horse. Last of eight in the Group 1 National Stakes, this represents a significantly easier task. Navan nursery winner Last Encore will need to improve but the fact that he is his stable's only runner is worth noting.
Claims can be made for plenty but LAST ENCORE continued his theme of race-by-race progress making a quick switch to nurseries when successful at Navan 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he makes plenty of appeal again. Michael O'Callaghan holds a strong hand with 3 runners, Tommy McJohn possibly chief amongst them. Kodilicious and South Shore Island are others fancied to feature.
The vote goes to the lightly raced LAST ENCORE, who was well on top at the line when winning on his handicap debut at Navan in August
(1) My Mate Alfie 5/2, Smart gelding. Landed 11-runner Renaissance Stakes (7/2) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago by ¾ length from Big Gossey, readily. Ought to go close. Has been in excellent form at the Curragh, faces key rematch with Big Gossey and Torivega.
2
5
2nd (5) (14/1 -56%) Thunderbear
14
14/1(-56%)
(5) Thunderbear 14/1, Useful gelding. Good second of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 7 days ago. Well in the mix. Appreciated the drop in class when second at the Curragh last week, more on his plate now.
3
2
3rd (2) (5/1 -43%) Big Gossey
5
5/1(-43%)
(2) Big Gossey 5/1, Smart gelding. Latest win at the Curragh in July. Creditable ¾-length second of 11 to My Mate Alfie in Renaissance Stakes (9/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt. Second to My Mate Alfie last time, 7lb turnaround in his favour, deserves a stakes win.
4
9
4th (9) (13/2 +68%) Ojw Legacy
6.5
13/2(+68%)
(9) Ojw Legacy 13/2, Useful filly. Winner at the Curragh in June. Good 4¼ lengths sixth of 14 to Power Under Me in Concorde Stakes at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 16/1) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. This is no easy ask. Fairly consistent form in Listed races over 7f but not one of the stronger contenders.
5th
4
5th (4) (7/1 -8%) Tango Flare
7
7/1(-8%)
(4) Tango Flare 7/1, Useful gelding. Visored for 1st time, creditable 1½ lengths third of 25 to My Mate Alfie in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 27 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Long-priced third behind My Mate Alfie and Torivega in a handicap last time, looks held.
6th
6
6th (6) (3/1 +45%) Torivega
3
3/1(+45%)
(6) Torivega 3/1, Useful gelding. Good 1¼ lengths third of 11 to My Mate Alfie in Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 7/1) 13 days ago, running on. Likely to continue in form. Third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey 13 days ago, should be involved again.
7th
7
7th (7) (18/1 -50%) Twilight Jet
18
18/1(-50%)
(7) Twilight Jet 18/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. 9 lengths ninth of 10 to She's Quality in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good, 7/1) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Second over 5f at this venue in May, well below that standard since, hard to fancy.
8th
3
8th (3) (10/1 +50%) Shandy
10
10/1(+50%)
(3) Shandy 10/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 25/1, 2½ lengths sixth of 9 to Oujda in listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 7 days ago. More is needed. Won Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes over C&D in August, raced too keenly at the Curragh last week.
Progressive three-year-old MY MATE ALFIE might be able to give weight away. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding showed that he was capable of doing so when running out an impressive winner of the Bold Lad on his penultimate start. Back in Group company last time, he continued his improvement when following up at the Curragh. As the one potential top flight sprinter in this, it would be no surprise to see him complete the hat-trick. Torivega needs everything to fall right but the Sheila Lavery-trained four-year-old undoubtedly has the ability to be competitive. Billy Lee takes over in the saddle for the first time here. Big Gossey seldom runs a bad race but tends to reserve his best for the Curragh.
A competitive event but MY MATE ALFIE looks the way to go on the back of his stylish Curragh success last time out. Big Gossey chased home Ger Lyons' smart gelding there and heads the list of dangers again, with Thunderbear and Torivega also firmly in the picture in this intriguing listed event.
With a 7lb turnaround in the weights, BIG GOSSEY may reverse recent Curragh form with the progressive My Mate Alfie
(2) Heavenly Power 11/4, Latest win at the Curragh in August. Respectable tenth of 25 back there (6f, good, 14/1) since. Enters the reckoning with Bily Lee taking the reins. Better than bare result when tenth in the Bold Lad Sprint at the Curragh latest; claims.
2
12
2nd (12) (14/1 +65%) Moltophino
14
14/1(+65%)
(12) Moltophino 14/1, 11/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Visor back on. Others more persuasive. Didn't see out 1m at Cork latest; overall profile suggest others have more pressing claims.

3rd (3) (10/1 -200%) Apache Outlaw
10
10/1(-200%)
(3) Apache Outlaw 10/1, Won 10-runner handicap (11/2) at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, always holding on. Respected. The 5lb rise makes life tougher but he's entitled to run his race again up in trip.
4
14
4th (14) (40/1 -150%) Rathbranchurch
40
40/1(-150%)
(14) Rathbranchurch 40/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Bellewstown (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Record of 2-35; hardy sort; in fine fettle at present but others better treated.
5th

5th (9) (7/1 +13%) Jon Riggens
7
7/1(+13%)
(9) Jon Riggens 7/1, Twenty first of 25 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 27 days ago but had been shaping up well prior to that. Cheekpieces back on. Poor in the Bold Lad Sprint last month; form figures 32324 here so might hit the frame.
6th
1
6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Stag Night
10
10/1(-25%)
(1) Stag Night 10/1, Won this race last year. Latest win at Cork in March. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 63 days ago but given a chance by the handicapper (now 2 lb lower than when beaten a neck at Naas in April). Could make a bold bid to defend his crown. Won this race last year in the mud from a 15lb lower mark; would want rain.
7th
10
7th (10) (14/1 -155%) Collective Power
14
14/1(-155%)
(10) Collective Power 14/1, 16/5, good second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Merits consideration under Colin Keane. Second over C&D in August off 1lb lower and Colin Keane takes over; player.
8th
8
8th (8) (12/1 -50%) Staysound Susie
12
12/1(-50%)
(8) Staysound Susie 12/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (5/2) at Cork (6f, soft) 11 days ago, plenty in hand. Can give another good account. She bolted up over this trip at Cork latest; could still be ahead of the handicapper.

28/1(-100%)
(5) Physique 28/1, Latest win at Galway in August. 25/1, last of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 28 days ago, doing too much too soon. Something to find on form. Won at Galway on heavy; needs rain and will get hassled for the lead; passed over.

10th (7) (12/1 +25%) Laugh A Minute

12/1(+25%)
(7) Laugh A Minute 12/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 14 days ago, merely closing up late. C&D winner; best form with ease in the ground so a drying track is a concern.

7/1(+50%)
(11) Universally 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 80/1, bit below form sixteenth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 27 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has work to do. No show in the Bold Lad Sprint when 5lb wrong but could be a player back on these terms.

16/1(-78%)
(6) Transcendental 16/1, Latest win at Navan in August. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 14 days ago. Trainer going well. Below best at the Curragh latest but step back up in trip should be a help.

16/1(+36%)
(13) Nouvel Espoir 16/1, Latest win at Tipperary in August. 25/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Won at Tipperary in August before third to an improver at Navan; unproven over this trip.

14th (4) (10/1 +50%) Mehmar
10
10/1(+50%)
(4) Mehmar 10/1, C&D winner. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Disappointing lately at Curragh; better ground will suit as will return to this track.
STAYSOUND SUSIE won in good style over this trip at Cork and is less exposed than her rivals. Andy Slattery's three-year-old has a preference for soft ground but performed well on a sound surface when second over C&D in July and may have more to offer after a relatively light campaign. Apache Outlaw comes here on the back of a win over 5f at the Curragh but the best of his form prior to that had been over this trip. Stag Night was well handicapped when landing last year's renewal and faces a stiffer task off top weight while Heavenly Power, not beaten far in a premier handicap last time, may fare best of Eddie Lynam's three runners.
Perhaps STAG NIGHT can land this quite useful sprint handicap for a second year running. Edward Lynam pair Collective Power and Heavenly Power head the dangers along with last weekend's Curragh scorer Apache Outlaw.
A case can be made for many of these but STAYSOUND SUSIE can follow up her impressive Cork victory for the Slatterys
(2) Rahmi 15/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Third of 5 in minor event at Gowran (7f, good, 6/5) 21 days ago. Trainer going well. Winner got a soft lead when third at Gowran; big-field handicap will suit better.

(8) Orandi 13/2, Winner at the Curragh in May. 10/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Seems best when the mud is flying and probably needs rain to be competitive here.

(13) Bid For Chester 20/1, Latest win at the Curragh in April. 11/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, soft) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 2nd over C&D from 6lb higher early in the year so don't completely rule out; rain welcome.

16/1(+52%)
(6) Bellaphina 16/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in September. 14/1, last of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 8 days ago. Poor effort on AW debut last week; outside chance but isn't discounted back on turf.

5th (4) (9/1 -100%) No More Porter

9/1(-100%)
(4) No More Porter 9/1, 4/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Enters calculations for Ado McGuinness. Three-time winner, all at the Curragh; he isn't the type to back up latest victory.

40/1(+0%)
(12) Zephron 40/1, Latest win at the Curragh in April. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 53 days ago. Needs to bounce back and will need the heavens to open to have any chance.

7th (1) (15/2 -36%) I Am Superman
7.5
15/2(-36%)
(1) I Am Superman 15/2, C&D winner. 8/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 8 days ago. Yard in good form. Big player. Second at Dundalk last week; still fairly treated back on turf and handles any ground.

8th (7) (9/2 +55%) Emporio
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(7) Emporio 9/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal.

20/1(-43%)
(11) Gibbs Island 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 15 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Will appreciate a return to turf but he's likely to get outpaced over this trip.
10th

10th (10) (4/1 +27%) Facethepuckout
4
4/1(+27%)
(10) Facethepuckout 4/1, Won this race last year and landed another C&D win in July. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Should make a bold bid for back-to-back wins in this race. Back down to his last winning mark with Colin Keane back aboard (was on for last success).
11th

11th (3) (12/1 -50%) Earls
12
12/1(-50%)
(3) Earls 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Haydock in April. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, heavy, 13/2) 14 days ago. Yard having good spell. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Has ten turf wins on his CV; dangerous off a sliding mark but would probably need rain.
12th
14
12th (14) (12/1 -50%) Ramiro
12
12/1(-50%)
(14) Ramiro 12/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft, 8/1) 18 days ago, kept up to work. 7lb rise seems harsh enough for a gutsy win and will need some rain to be seen at his best.
13th
9
13th (9) (11/1 -38%) Sara Valentina
11
11/1(-38%)
(9) Sara Valentina 11/1, Limerick maiden winner in May. 11/2, very good ½-length third of 6 to Facethepuckout in handicap over this C&D (good to soft) 80 days ago. Remains unexposed after only 4 starts. Close 3rd to Facethepuckout over C&D in July; bred to handle a sounder surface.
14th

14th (5) (28/1 -40%) Quar Shamar
28
28/1(-40%)
(5) Quar Shamar 28/1, 13/8, below form 10 lengths second of 6 in minor event at Laytown (7f) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Tongue strap on 1st time , cheekpieces back on. Others are more persuasive. Second when sent off favourite for a moderate 7f contest at Laytown; opposable.
FACETHEPUCKOUT has a good record over C&D and beat recent Listowel winner No More Porter in this race last year. Michael O'Callaghan's eight-year-old was also on target here in July when partnered by Colin Keane and the champion jockey is back on board. The selection has a bit to find with Orandi on the basis of a clash at Listowel and the latter, a 7f winner at the Curragh in the spring, may be helped by the addition of cheekpieces. The selection's stablemate I Am Superman retains plenty of ability and has found only one too good in two his last three starts while Bellaphina, who disappointed on AW debut last time, is better judged on her previous victory at Fairyhouse.
FACETHEPUCKOUT shaped as if back in form last time and may be ready to strike again at a track which suits him so well. His stablemate I Am Superman is another who knows where the winning post is over C&D and is also shortlisted along with Earls and low-mileage 3-y-o Sara Valentina.
If SARA VALENTINA can overcome slight question marks with regard to the ground if it's on the good side, she will take beating
(11) Whispersinthewind 7/1, Lightly-raced filly. Very good fourth of 11 in handicap at Navan (8f, good, 14/1) 21 days ago. Must enter calculations. Last month's Navan handicap run was encouraging but rated 11lb inferior to Finsceal Luas.

(5) Finsceal Luas 2/1, Fairly useful filly. Off 4 months before a solid second of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, slowly away. Holds very good form claims. Second at Listowel on first run since ambitious Irish 1,000 Guineas bid, sets the standard.

(4) Final Curtain 4/1, Twice-raced filly. 4/1, good fourth of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Stable having good spell so she's considered. Made the running before fading into fourth in 1m Listowel event, 4l behind Finsceal Luas.

(6) Iseult Of Ireland 16/5, Lightly-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft, 9/2) 69 days ago, slowly away. Yard having good spell. In the mix. Placed in two maidens, meets Finsceal Luas on 16lb worse than handicap terms, tough task.

11/4(+31%)
(3) Empress Xj 11/4, €160,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6.3f winner King X J. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart 6f/7f winner Golden Steps. Interesting newcomer from a yard in good form. Cost 160,000euros at Goresbridge breeze-up last year, plenty of speed in the pedigree.

6th (9) (50/1 -257%) Penny Mountain

50/1(-257%)
(9) Penny Mountain 50/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 9/1) on debut 14 days ago. Reared up in stalls on 6f Curragh debut, showed promise with a staying-on effort.

125/1(-213%)
(2) Miss Glenville 125/1, The Last Lion filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Dreams Fled Away. Market can prove a good indicator. Half-sister to 1m4f AW winner Dreams Fled Away; makes her debut here at four, best watched.

80/1(-60%)
(8) Onemorestar 80/1, Harzand filly. Dam 11f/1½m winner. Others are preferred on this occasion. Half-sister to a 3m hurdle winner, dam middle-distance AW winner, trip may be inadequate.

10th (1) (150/1 -50%) Life In A Day

150/1(-50%)
(1) Life In A Day 150/1, Twice-raced mare. 50/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Towards the back in two 6f maidens at the Curragh, safe to leave out of calculations.
11th

11th (10) (200/1 -100%) Rose Of The Sea
200
200/1(-100%)
(10) Rose Of The Sea 200/1, Once-raced filly. Sixteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 66/1) on debut 13 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Always at the back on debut over 1m2f at the Curragh, cheekpieces tried now.
Placed twice in maidens in the early part of the season, FINSCEAL LUAS looked a bit ring-rusty when second over a mile at Listowel on her first start since finishing down the field in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. The daughter of Camelot made late headway to chase home a useful Ballydoyle-trained newcomer and can confirm placings with Final Curtain who looked to go a stride too quickly in front before fading to finish four lengths behind her on that occasion. Whispersinthewind, a creditable fourth in a recent Navan handicap after five months off, and Empress Xj, who makes a belated debut after being bought for 160,000euros at a breeze-up sale last year, are others to consider.
FINSCEAL LUAS possesses the best form on show so is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of Whispersinthewind who rates a big threat on the back of her very good Navan fourth. Newcomer Empress XJ is well worthy of consideration too along with Iseult of Ireland and Final Curtain.
Jim Bolger's well-bred filly FINSCEAL LUAS has a good opportunity to step up a place following a Listowel second

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
