Moorside³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Smullen| T: C Hills| OR: 93

10/1

Her Kempton maiden win (1m4f, AW) in August is her sole success to date, but she has performed well in a handicap and two Listed outings since, before fifth of eight last day in the Ascot stakes at the Royal Meeting.

Form: 4146-50

Ringside Humour^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 93| C

10/1

Behind a couple of these rivals here over 1m2f in April, has since run commendable race over timber at Punchestown, before disappointing last of nine last day in 1m4f Cork handicap.

Form: 068-179

Ruby Gates⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 70

33/1

Recorded first success with gutsy win over 1m4f on the AW at Dundalk in April, that was a career-best effort, before finding no extra over 2f out in 1m2f Curragh handicap on good ground in May.

Tara Dylan⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Carroll| T: T Mullins| OR: 81| CD

8/1

Best performance to date came in winning Roscommon handicap (1m2f, good) from a mark of 76 in August. Found things tougher afterwards and was returning from 244-day layoff when third of six in 1m5f handicap, here earlier in the month.

Form: 10006-3

Zamira³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 82

7/1

Ex-Dermot Weld filly is thriving for this in-form yard, winning a Roscommon maiden and Tipperary handicap - both over this sort of trip. Couldn't defy 4lb rise last day in Cork handicap, when fourth of nine, in June.

Form: 6-42114

(9)

Tilly's Chilli²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 88

11/2

Excelebration filly failed at Down Royal last time out (1m4½f, good) when chasing four-timer as she finished 3L third of nine. Had previously looked progressive and can go on the shortlist once more.

Form: 831113

Wild Irish Rose¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 89

7/4

Daughter of Galileo has been improving of late and confirmed that promise with victory over 1m4f at Fairyhouse this month. Raised 7lb for that but showed pleasing determination under pressure.

Form: 46-6731

(5)

Wingingit²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 85| C

4/1

Winner of her last two starts including over 1m4f at Leopardstown, before second of nine in extended 1m4f Downpatrick 3yo handicap in June.

Forecasts

Wild Irish Rose (7/4), Wingingit (4/1), Tilly's Chilli (11/2), Santa Monica (6/1), Zamira (7/1), Tara Dylan (8/1), Moorside (10/1), Ringside Humour (10/1), Ruby Gates (33/1)

A race that has a strong historical advantage for those ridden on or close to the pace, which brings in Zamira and the selection, TILLY'S CHILLI, failed at Down Royal last time out (1m4½f, good) when chasing four-timer as she finished 3L third of nine. Moorside and Wingingit are next best.
