Captain Commander³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas J Farrell

50/1

Beaten 21L at Killarney (2m1f, good) late last month on rules bow / first start for this yard. Record in point-to-points not inspiring and plenty work to do.

Form: P/P58

Alfred Eile²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss K Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash

50/1

Ineffective in five bumpers so far in his career, including 24L defeat over 2m here on heavy ground this month, and it is difficult to know where to start when making a case for the gelding. Others make much more appeal.

Form: 6-0907

Chesterfield King¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J J Codd| T: J P Dempsey| BF

3/1

Gelded son of Kalanisi out of a mare who was the winner of a bumper on soft ground, made a fair start to career in 2m3½f Kilbeggan bumper on soft ground this month. Capable of improving on midfield finish over shorter trip.

Form: 5

Flawless Escape¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Ms N Carberry| T: G Elliott

4/11

Runner-up in sole point-to-point outing and must be given due respect making rules bow for this top yard.

Form: 2-

Midnight Lightning²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

25/1

Westerner gelding was sent off 33/1 and beaten close to 20L in fourth of eight over 2m here this month on heavy ground, could be capable of improving on that run.

Form: 4

Lady Sherami^h,t⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith

10/1

Improved on second start in a 2m Wexford bumper in July on good to yielding ground, that still leaves her with a bit to find however and may be best watched for now.

Form: 78

Forecasts

Flawless Escape (4/11), Chesterfield King (3/1), Lady Sherami (10/1), Midnight Lightning (25/1), Captain Commander (50/1), Alfred Eile (50/1)

Flawless Escape is making a rules debut for Gordon Elliott here and should go well with Nina Carberry on board, confidence behind him in the betting will be worth nothing, tough the duo were turned over with an easy-to-back newcomer at Navan on Saturday. CHESTERFIELD KING may be worth chancing here however with a run behind him, likely some improvement to come and a strong chance on breeding that he'll handle this testing surface. Midnight Lightning and Lady Sherami are perhaps best of the rest.
