Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: L T McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 64

7/1

Solid enough form when not disgraced in a number of starts in May/June but has the habit of running in to one or two more well handicapped types. Possible place claims.

Giorni Felice^p1,t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: W J Lee| T: E Lynam| OR: 63

10/1

Out of form since winning a 1m2f Roscommon maiden in August last year. Well down the field in three handicap spins this term and first time cheekpieces less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 189-000

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 62| D

16/1

Possibly needed his first couple of starts to the season being well held on both occasions. Won over this trip in September off a 3lb lower mark. Chances if getting the run of the race.

Form: 1725-78

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: G P Halpin| T: G B Caldwell| OR: 61| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner of a handicap in May beating 16-rivals ½L when running on well under pressure to lead in the final strides. Beating over further since as favourite at Down Royal but chances back over this trip.

Chunkyfunkymonkey^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Manning| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 56| D

11/1

Has finished well down the pack in the majority of starts since the turn of the year including a 15L defeat earlier this month at Bellewstown. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 7-00050

Nulife^p⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 56| BF

12/1

Modest 98-rated handicap hurdler and last seen on the Flat in a Bellewstown 1m4f handicap last August when well held to remain a seven race maiden on turf. Cheekpieces return but hard to fancy.

Form: 364165

(6)

Ocean Air^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C T Keane| T: J C McConnell| OR: 56

25/1

Modest 81-rated handicapper for James Tate and has only lost-ground for current yard. Hard to fancy until showing hints of ability.

Form: 600000

(2)

Nisior Donn³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S P Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 55

9/2

Has been in fair form since joining this yard without being able to get her head in front. Only narrowly denied at Dundalk before showing more promise at Naas on Wednesday. Quickly turned out and entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 7-36223

(5)

Lizard Point^b⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: B M Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 50

9/1

Turf form improved for a drop in trip when finishing fourth of 13 beaten 2L in a 1m handicap here last month. Each way claims in this grade.

Form: 432404

(7)

Tynamite¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: N M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: P F McEnery| OR: 50

20/1

Last run at Dundalk on the AW can be dismissed when slowly away earlier this month. Holds chances on the form of his two starts at Cork and here earlier in the season.

Form: 848920

Empress Lyla^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: G F Carroll| T: G Donnelly| OR: 49| C

10/1

Course winner over 1m in September beating eight rivals on heavy ground off a 25lb higher mark. Clearly regressing of late and opposable on recent form.

Form: 000976

Ask Katie^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: G Webb| OR: 45

8/1

Not at her best in five runs this season, but was not disgraced at Cork last month. Well below par form looks set to continue.

Form: 0-67678

Crossingoz^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: W J Fitzpatrick| OR: 45

33/1

Nothing of note in a couple of seasonal starts to date and will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Form: 8505/09

Multiviz^h1,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: M A Gallagher| T: S M Duffy| OR: 45

50/1

Well held in a number of disappointing displays since May and First time tongue-tie doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.

Form: 383807

Mzuri^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: R P Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 45

25/1

35-race maiden who is without a win in 31 starts on turf. The mare hasn't had the rub of the green recently but is still hard to fancy on latest evidence.

Form: 300-450

War Room¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: W M Lordan| T: S M Duffy| OR: 45

25/1

Poor hurdler who is usually seen on the AW at Dundalk. Losing runs now stands at 11 and latest form doesn't warrant supporting here.

Form: 540006

Mel Biechif Diane^h⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: D E Sheehy| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 45

50/1

First Reserve: Poor form in a series of dismal performances leaves the daughter of Roderic O'Connor impossible to follow here.

Forecasts

Coach Bombay (3/1), Acari (10/3), Nisior Donn (9/2), Pari Passu (7/1), Ask Katie (8/1), Lizard Point (9/1), Empress Lyla (10/1), Giorni Felice (10/1), Chunkyfunkymonkey (11/1), Nulife (12/1), Harvey Specter (16/1), Tynamite (20/1), Ocean Air (25/1), Mzuri (25/1), War Room (25/1), Crossingoz (33/1), Multiviz (50/1), Mel Biechif Diane (50/1)

The 10-year-old COACH BOMBAY is in a rich vein of form right now and deservedly off the mark at the 14th time of asking on turf to win a 1m2f Flat handicap at Navan earlier this month. The 4lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop the game sort in this contest. C&D winner Acari, the solid and consistent performer Nisior Donn and Tynamite who went well here in May can battle for the minors.
