Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 65| BF

13/2

15-race maiden who has hit the frame on a couple of occasions from six starts here including when a disappointing favourite on Wednesday. Place claims back up in trip.

Form: 444033

(5)

Rince Deireanach³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Lambe| OR: 64

20/1

Has failed to build on a couple of wins in the summer when in the hands of Jim Bolger. Hurdling more recently and possible best left for the moment.

Form: 841240

(7)

Aubineau^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D M Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 62| BF| CD

8/1

Winner of one of her four C&D starts, landing a handicap last month off a 4lb lower mark. Capable of a big run if in the mood.

Form: 603318

(6)

Coreczka⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: C Cannon| OR: 62| CD

6/1

Three-time winner from eight starts over C&D, but races currently off a 7lb lower mark than her last win. Not ruled out but a couple of below par runs to shake off.

Form: 944079

(12)

Procurator^b1²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: G P Halpin| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 60| D

16/1

Won on a couple of occasions over 7f for Richard Hannon but not recaptured that form in eight starts for current yard. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 600065

(3)

Patrick Joseph²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D P McDonogh| T: D Marnane| OR: 60

11/2

Solid and consistent on the Polytrack at this venue hitting the frame here on three occasions. Strong place claims once again.

Form: 903454

Villa Maria^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: A Murray| OR: 56| BF

14/1

Not disgraced on return to action here earlier this month but remains a 10-race maiden. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough ask.

Form: 732347

(4)

Bonnie Baugh⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs P Dobbs| OR: 53

20/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role in this contest.

Form: 007500

(8)

Suntory Times^t1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 50

6/1

Generally well held in a number of dismal maiden efforts in the geldings career. First-time tongue-tie reached for and any market move should be monitored on handicap debut.

Form: 6-05

(9)

Paddytheirishman^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: R P Cleary| T: G T Lynch| OR: 49

12/1

Running well in defeat here in a couple of spins earlier this month. Drop in trip not sure to suit the 29-race maiden.

Form: 230944

(10)

Victorious Secret¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 48| CD

16/1

Winner of one of her 11 starts over C&D and is without success for over two years. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Form: 7-09065

(13)

Building Year^h,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 46

20/1

Fifth of 13 beaten 1¼L over C&D earlier this month. Improvement on that effort not out of the question and could go well at a price.

Form: 005005

(2)

La Novia^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford| OR: 46| D

5/1

Has produced a couple of promising efforts of late including over C&D earlier this month. Claims off this low mark and yard going well.

Forecasts

La Novia (5/1), Patrick Joseph (11/2), Suntory Times (6/1), Coreczka (6/1), Three Majors (6/1), Proud And Elated (13/2), Billyfairplay (7/1), Aubineau (8/1), Paddytheirishman (12/1), Villa Maria (14/1), Victorious Secret (16/1), Procurator (16/1), Doonard Prince (16/1), Piper Bomb (16/1), Building Year (20/1), Rince Deireanach (20/1), Bonnie Baugh (20/1)

LA NOVIA from the inform Mick Halford yard can make full use of her draw from stall two to land the odds from her current low mark. C&D winners Coreczka and Aubineau can prove to be the biggest dangers to the selection, while any of the three reserves deserve a check if making the line-up.
