Honor Oak⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: W J Lee| T: T Hogan| OR: 76| C

14/1

Ran two solid enough races at the Curragh in July but toiled at the Galway festival when 14th of 16 in August. Course winner but still a big 12lb higher than last winning mark.

Form: 268240

Mcguigan^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D M Hannigan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J S Bolger| OR: 75

8/1

Running on strongly last month at the Curragh over 1m on return from a break, before disappointing last time out at Gowran Park when beaten 20L over 1m1f. Will appreciate drop back in trip and return to this surface.

Form: 068-269

(5)

Poetic Choice⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: S Foley| T: K H Clarke| OR: 75| C

7/1

Course winner who was not disgraced over the summer but put in a below-par performance last time out at Leopardstown in August and will need to improve on that run to figure.

Form: 454420

(4)

Seanie^b,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D Marnane| OR: 74| CD

11/2

C&D winner but that was back in 2013. Has put in two solid performances on his last two starts and could go well now 10lb below last winning mark.. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 872622

(14)

Alans Pride¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: G P Halpin⁽³⁾| T: R O'Brien| OR: 73| CD

12/1

Has been running admirably in this calendar year, starting the year with a win over C&D. Has improved 22lb since then putting in some concrete offerings over the summer. Tough ask on return to Polytrack.

Form: 221026

(12)

Melisandre⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 75| CD

7/1

Lightly raced filly who won over C&D last year. Last seen in July when second of 10 beaten 1L over C&D. Can go well again if overcoming negative draw.

Form: 81-482

(10)

Midnitemudcrabs^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D E Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 73| CD

14/1

Winner over C&D on his first run at the track in March 2016. Could well give a good show but is still 9lb higher than last winning mark.

Form: 655853

Betty Loch²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P J Smullen| T: M Halford| OR: 74| CD

7/2

Winner over C&D in August when beating 13 rivals, before a 7¾L defeat at Gowran Park over 7f on heavy ground. Gives the impression we may not have seen the best of her for powerful connections.

Form: 287314

(2)

Cloudy Miss⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: C O'Donoghue| T: M Halford| OR: 73

10/1

Genuine and gutsy performances on turf over the summer including a win at Bellewstown over 1m in July. Looks a tall order off this mark given three runs on this surface.

Form: 031429

(8)

Guanabara Bay¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 70| C| D

20/1

Course winner that has won over this trip. Inconsistent season so far, running well and putting in the odd second-rate performance. Goes well here and worth a check in the betting.

Form: 415047

(7)

Ken's Sam's⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J A Heffernan| T: E Sheehy| OR: 70| C

50/1

Course winner who has started to struggle recently, putting in some modest performances on turf. Better over shorter and others preferred.

Form: 910000

(11)

Grainne's Dream²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K J Manning| T: W P Mullins| OR: 69

14/1

Has largely struggled since winning a Killarney 1m handicap in July being well beaten in four starts since but doesn't go too badly here and one for the shortlist.

Form: 54-1865

(13)

Bainne⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 68| D

12/1

Comes here following a series of second rate performances over the summer. Without a win from 11 starts at the track and likely to struggle again.

Form: 806470

Tennessee Rose³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 63| BF

25/1

First Reserve: Making her second appearance for the yard and will need to find a chunk of improvement to take a hand following a 15½L defeat at Tipperary in August.

Forecasts

Betty Loch (7/2), Seanie (11/2), Poetic Choice (7/1), Melisandre (7/1), Mcguigan (8/1), Cloudy Miss (10/1), Magwadiri (10/1), Bainne (12/1), Alans Pride (12/1), Honor Oak (14/1), Midnitemudcrabs (14/1), Grainne's Dream (14/1), Guanabara Bay (20/1), Stamp Of Authority (20/1), Tennessee Rose (25/1), Mokhalad (33/1), Ken's Sam's (50/1)

SEANIE could find himself setting the fractions here in the early stages breaking from stall four to nab the rail with Poetic Choice breaking with him from the next stall. The C&D winner could set an interesting pace under Declan McDonogh and will be in the ideal position to strike from the front. Betty Loch and Melisandre can hit the frame.
