4/1
Good winner last month at Galway over 2m6f on soft ground, leaving impression there is still more to come. Sets standard and can run another big race.

3/1
Tongue strap on first time and cheekpieces back on but has failed to complete in three most recent starts and comes with clear risks at the moment. Others preferred.

7/2
Produced a career-best when winning eight-runner handicap chase at Listowel (3m, heavy) a fortnight ago, has been hit with a 7lb hike for that win but will be in the mix if in a similar mood, which is anything but certain.

12/1
Now 11-years-old and has gone 12 runs without a win, not at his best lately and easily held over hurdles at Down Royal early in the month but could get involved on these terms if bouncing back.

Twiss's Hill184
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: S W Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR:  121
8/1
Solid effort when last spotted in Grade 3 at Limerick in March over 3m, makes switch to handicaps on return to action and is worth paying attention to in the betting. Can go close if fully wound up.

8/1
Mare was in good form earlier in the year, scoring twice including over 3m1f at Roscommon in May off a mark of 110. Below that form at Kilbeggan this month and must improve to take leading role now.
7
Horse silk
Deputy's Pass49
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-6| J: K J Brouder(7)| T: A Fleming| OR:  110
5/1
Plenty of promise in his efforts back in 2015 but didn't make it out in 2016. Not a bad effort last month at Kilbeggan when third of 11 over 2m4f and may improve on handicap bow going up in trip.

Forecasts

Static Jack (3/1), Icantsay (7/2), Riviera Sun (4/1), Deputy's Pass (5/1), Twiss's Hill (8/1), Carole Rose (8/1), Bearly Legal (12/1)

16:35 Gowran Park - 30 September 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Last time out Galway winner RIVIERA SUN just about earns the vote here despite carrying top weight. He left the impression there was still more to come in that Ballybrit success and has his case helped by the 7lb claimed on his back now, while the testing ground is not a concern. Similarly, Icantsay is in great heart after a fine win Listowel and should be in the mix again. Handicap debutants Deputy's Pass and Twiss's Hill are worth paying attention to in the betting for confidence.
