2/1

Twice a winner so far including at Naas (yielding) over this distance in September. Beaten a neck in a 7f Listed contest on his penultimate start prior to disappointing in a similar race at Naas (good-to-firm) a month ago. Likely to run well here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 90| BF

5/1

Off the mark at the fourth attempting when winning over 5f at Navan (yielding-to-soft) in October. Beaten 2¾L on seasonal debut when fourth of 18 at Naas (soft-to-heavy) on his penultimate outing and an interesting runner in this.

Form: 2521-45

Swish¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane| OR: 89

11/1

Unbeaten in two outings on the AW but 0/9 so far on turf. Beaten 1¾L into sixth in a 14 runner 6f contest at The Curragh (good) last time out and worth a check in the market here.

Form: 949-176

7/2

Broke her maiden off a mark of 85 over 6f at The Curragh (good) last month. Had previously ran respectably in two maiden races and a Group 3 contest and she receives weight from all bar one of her rivals in this.

Forecasts

Noivado (2/1), Solar Halo (7/2), Hailstone (5/1), Imagine If (5/1), Smoulder (7/1), Swish (11/1)

NOIVADO is the highest rated of these and ran well on his penultimate start when a close second in a Listed contest. Ger Lyons charge drops in trip here and can register his third career success at the expense of Hailstone who is likely to be gifted a fairly easy lead and is another dropping in trip. Swish was tackling her elders when finishing seventh in a Listed contest on her penultimate start and can claim third here.
