Ecoeye¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: J P Shinnick⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Leahy| OR: 64| CD

10/1

Posted a career best effort for sometime when finishing close up behind Rattling Jewel at Listowel over 7f last month. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 290-003

Firey Flower^v1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B M Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Weld| OR: 61

25/1

Filly by The Lemon Drop Kid out of a Pivotal mare. Worthy of consideration on handicap debut and in first-time visor with the yards three-year-olds boasting a 17% strike rate this term.

Form: 069

Munfallet⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: D P Coakley| OR: 58

14/1

Formerly trained by Richard Hannon, David Brown and Adrian Nicholls in Britain, rated 90 two years ago. Likely to find a couple better handicapped racing 29lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 72-9048

Voyageofdiscovery^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 57| D

12/1

Running well in defeat in a number of starts in big-field handicaps over the summer. Can be forgiven last run at Galway. Folly to dismiss easily now racing 4lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 280430

(15)

Fair Game^p⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Manning| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 55

16/1

Solid and consistent when running with credit in defeat in four starts this term. Due to hit the target sooner rather than later running 17lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 90-8343

(20)

Meryems Way^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Leonard| T: P Martin| OR: 58| D

16/1

Winner of two races this season but made no impression on return to action at Galway last month following a 95 day break finishing 10th of 17 beaten over 8L. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 121270

(10)

Lady Cedar¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 57

33/1

Five-race maiden, well beaten in three starts on turf. Not seen since April and unlikely to be troubling the judge here.

Form: 97-200

(7)

Rinty Maginty²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M L Melia⁽¹⁰⁾| T: K Prendergast| OR: 57

20/1

Promise over the summer has appeared to have leveled out in a couple of recent starts and currently racing 14lb lower than last winning mark is a major concern.

Form: 6-09870

(5)

We'll Go Again¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W J Lee| T: Madeleine Tylicki| OR: 57

9/1

Career best effort remains his third of 20 beaten 5L on debut at Naas last November. Well held when making little impression in a Galway soft ground handicap last month. Others preferred.

Form: 085060

(11)

Conversant^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 53| BF

2/1

Won for the second time in his career when landing a Listowel handicap over 6½f on soft ground off a 5lb lower mark before finishing second of 16 at Gowran Park over a similar trip last month. Likely to be a main contender once again.

Form: 955712

(4)

Tracing^b⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 56

8/1

Eight-race maiden for leading connections. Yet to show any zest for the switch to handicaps and others look more convincing at this level.

Form: 7-06370

(13)

Starbella³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: C D Hayes| T: T Gibney| OR: 50

40/1

Has shown very little in eight starts so far, sent off at big prices in a number of starts since May before running down the field on each occasion. Easily opposable once again.

Form: 8-09900

(14)

Gizi Gazelle¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell| OR: 45

14/1

Not discredited in a number of starts over the summer when running well in defeat and could be a danger racing 5lb lower than last winning mark.

Form: 984090

(9)

Noble Intention^b,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: S Foley| T: A J Martin| OR: 45| D

14/1

Sole career win came on the AW at Dundalk. 21-race maiden on turf the Zebedee gelding needs a vast improvement to figure in this company and is best watched unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

Form: 325209

(6)

Primadonia¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: M P Sunderland| OR: 45

66/1

Last seen finishing last of nine on stable debut on the AW at Dundalk in March following a 632 day break and switch from the Richard Hughes yard. Hard to fancy following another retreat.

Form: 46768/9

(8)

Grace To Grace^t⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: M P Sheehy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 47| BF

9/1

Nine-race maide who has proceeded to hit the frame on a couple of occasions. Not disgraced in four starts earlier in the season. Interesting the yard decides the time is right to bring back the filly for this contest.

Form: 04-0548

(21)

Morph^t²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: W M Lordan| T: A J Martin| OR: 47

50/1

Four-race maiden. Sent off at big prices on a number of starts before running accordingly in the process and is unlikely to be making a significant impact in this contest.

Form: 0-000

(16)

Adapt To Dan^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan| OR: 45

10/1

Remains a maiden after nine starts, however, he has come close to that opening success in a number of starts since July. Can be forgiven dismal run on the AW at Dundalk last month.

CONVERSANT for the Denis Hogan yard is in sharp form right now just failing to land the double in a Gowran Park handicap over 1m last month beaten ½L. The winner of a Listowel handicap off a 5lb lower mark can get the better of top weight Ecoeye who was a battling third of 15 on most recent start at Listowel last month. Tracing is one of the Aidan O'Brien yards lesser light but still commands plenty respect when not disgraced in a number of handicap starts since July. The Edward O'Grady-trained Fair Game has been running with credit in four defeats this term and deserves a change of luck.
