Commander Han⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: J A Osborne| OR: 81| D

11/10

Just one win from 17 starts (Chelmsford, 7f) but competitive from a handicap mark of 90 around this time last year and he could be very hard to beat on these terms if he runs to anything like that figure. Debuts for new yard.

Form: 207608

Reverberation²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: J J Lambe| OR: 60

6/1

One win from 22 starts, a Dundalk handicap at 1m in October. Form has dipped badly since though and he's given a tough ask at these weights.

Form: 066809

(2)

Twenty Minutes^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J J Codd| T: D English| OR: 78

2/1

Belatedly got off the mark at Naas earlier this year and while he was struggling for form a little when last seen, a return to AW could suit having run some fair races at Dundalk. Not one to rule out if he can get back to something like his best.

Form: 422569

Confident Kid⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 46

7/1

A maiden after 21 starts and really struggling of late. Starts out for a new yard but has a tough ask on these terms.

Form: 24-8500

(5)

Barbie O'Conor¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Kinsella| OR: 38

25/1

Well beaten on all eight of her starts and would need to find marked improvement for the drop back in trip here; plenty to prove.

Form: 0-99860

Forecasts

Commander Han (11/10), Twenty Minutes (2/1), Reverberation (6/1), Confident Kid (7/1), Barbie O'Conor (25/1)

Jamie Osborne has a fine record at this meeting and he has strong claims of landing his fourth straight renewal of this race with COMMANDER HAN who is the one to beat on all known form. Twenty Minutes is the main danger if he can re-find his best form while Reverberation has some AW form who should be able to get the better of the remaining runners.
