Divine Approach¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 77| D

7/1

Off the mark on turf at the seventh time of asking in a Navan handicap over a similar trip in September. Repeat of recent efforts since returning to action in April should see her in the hunt for prize money in this company.

Form: 6641-47

Elleanthus¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 90

7/2

One from eight on turf but the War Command filly has shown plenty of promise in her two most recent starts at Limerick and the Curragh. Looks to be an improving sort and merits plenty of respect.

Form: 764-765

(6)

Elm Grove^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: W J Lee| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 77| D

8/1

Experienced winner of six of her 39 turf starts on the Flat. Last win on the level came last July in a Ballinrobe handicap over a similar trip off a 2lb higher mark. Possibly best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

Remarkable Lady^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J A Heffernan| T: H Rogers| OR: 77| D

14/1

Winner of four of her 39 starts on turf, the daughter of Zoffany her last win came in a Galway 1m½f handicap two years ago off a 10lb higher mark. Distance winner makes limited appeal in this contest.

Form: 8060-54

Cocohulababy^t1²⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Meade| OR: 75

25/1

Winner on the AW at Dundalk, the lightly raced daughter of Casamento is a four-race maiden on turf. Last seen finishing last of nine at Gowran Park in August and hard to fancy, with first-time tongue tie, on overall evidence.

Form: 3710/59-

(3)

The Last Indian³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: A A Howard| OR: 74| D

7/1

Has a creditable 30% strike rate on turf from 10 starts on the Flat. Promising efforts last autumn caught the eye and the Captain Rio mare is not easily discounted on return to the level.

Form: 112/505-

(10)

Latchet^b1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 71| D

9/1

In good form this term winning three of her ten starts on the Flat since the turn of the year, including a double on turf. Carries a penalty for recent deeds but far from certain to stop a big effort in this contest in first time blinkers.

Form: 821351

(9)

Stormy Tale¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 71| D

5/1

Three from 25 turf starts on the Flat, the Stormy River filly ran well in defeat over this trip at Leopardstown last month. Thriving in a number of regular visits to the track since April and fancied to go well at this level.

Form: 362023

Bercasa¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S Foley| T: T Mullins| OR: 70| D

3/1

Off the mark for connections at the 11th time of asking on the Flat in a Leopardstown handicap over this trip. Carries a 10lb higher mark which may curtail further progress.

Form: 4244-51

Trainer Ger Lyons looks to have found an ideal opportunity for Cork maiden winner, HELIAC to continue her winning ways here on handicap debut. In a competitive contest the three-year-old filly can progress once again at the expense of the tough Jim Bolger mare, Lachet who won over this trip at Leopardstown in April. The Joseph O'Brien -trained Elleanthus and Divine Approach for the Michael O'Callaghan yard, both look capable of hitting the frame.
