Khafaaq^v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 65

9/2

Found only one too strong on AW bow over C&D finishing second of 14 beaten ½L before stepping up in trip to finish 3¼L behind the main protagonists, late last month. Solid and consistent sort likely to go well once again.

Swiss Army Officer²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: B P Kennedy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 64

16/1

Four-race maiden well held and never a factor in three of her starts on turf. Improvement needed on polytrack debut.

Form: 0040

Tyrconnell^v⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 64| CD

10/3

Never failed to hit the frame in four starts over C&D including a win over the combination last December off an 8lb lower mark. One to consider.

Form: 300431

Ken's Sam's^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: A McGuinness| OR: 61| C

16/1

Winner of three of her 23 starts at the track but is yet to register a win over C&D in nine starts. Ran with credit in defeat here over 6f last month and capable of hitting the frame.

Form: 206309

(17)

Midnitemudcrabs^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 60| CD

11/1

Dual C&D winner. Solid efforts over the summer have been followed by a couple of pleasing efforts over 7f and 1m here since last month. Recent starts have suggested plenty of improvement is a strong possibility.

Form: 020245

Usain Boat⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: N C Kelly| OR: 59

25/1

Form regressed for George Scott since winning a Newmarket novice auction contest over 15 months ago. Dismal effort on stable debut at Ayr in July before more disappointment at Down Royal when last seen in August.

Form: 567809

Little Camacho⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 54| D

7/1

Winner of a Gowran Park 7f handicap in July. Could be of interest if repeating the form of her run over C&D last November and a more recent 4L defeat by La Derniere Fois over the combination last month.

Form: 0-21277

Tynamite¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Marnane| OR: 48| BF| CD

10/1

Winner of two of his 13 starts at this track including a win from five starts over C&D.Not the most reliable of sorts on turf over the summer and needs to improve on return to this surface.

Form: 160406

Crest Of A Wave²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Wayne Lordan| T: C O'Brien| OR: 47

8/1

12-race maiden could do with rediscovering the form that saw the filly finish fourth of 14 beaten 3¾L over C&D in March. Not disgraced in a number of starts since but liable to find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.

Form: 400730

(3)

Clonville⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 45| D

6/1

Hit the frame for the first time in five starts over C&D when finishing third of 14 beaten 2½L behind La Derniere Fois late last month. Improvement possible.

Form: 943063

Fair Game^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: James J Doyle| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 45| D

50/1

On a 29-race losing sequence. Well down the field and never a factor in four previous starts at this venue including earlier this month finishing ninth of 13 over 1m. Plenty more needed.

Form: 430909

(2)

Mimic's Memory^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: T G McCourt| OR: 45| D

25/1

Sole win in 36 starts came on Fibresand at Southwell in 2017 for trainer Ann Duffield. Promising run when seventh of 14 beaten 3¼L over C&D late last month. Not the most reliable of sorts.

Form: 450907

(5)

Uncommonly^t⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Croke| OR: 45

66/1

Three dismal career efforts were followed by a 12L reversal when finishing 10th of 14 over 1m at this venue when last seen in September. Will need to raise overall profile to play a part here.

Form: 0000

Forecasts

Tyrconnell (10/3), Dubai Rainbow (4/1), Khafaaq (9/2), Clonville (6/1), Little Camacho (7/1), Crest Of A Wave (8/1), Tynamite (10/1), Midnitemudcrabs (11/1), Swiss Army Officer (16/1), Ken's Sam's (16/1), Dance Alone (16/1), Mimic's Memory (25/1), La Novia (25/1), Usain Boat (25/1), Count Of Carabass (33/1), Fair Game (50/1), Uncommonly (66/1)

Second over C&D on his penultimate start, KHAFAAQ can grab the lead from stall nine as the son of Helmet attempts to grab a second career win in 13 starts. The four-year-old in the hands of capable 5lb claimer Ben Coen can hold of the attentions of Dubai Rainbow who will be doing all her best work at the business end of proceedings. In a wide-open contest, Tyrconnell, C&D winner who has hit the frame on all four visits here, C&D winner, Midnitemudcrabs and Ken's Sam's should not be underestimated. Clonville could go well at a price while Count Of Carabass will be a major force if making the line-up.
