Aztec Parade²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S B Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 92| D

11/10

Promising sort. Built on debut second over C&D when beaten only a short head in 1m Naas maiden in June before winning at the third time of asking in a 1m Leopardstown maiden last month.

Form: 221

(5)

Comfort Line¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 88| D

4/1

Off the mark at the ninth time of asking when taking a maiden over this trip on good ground at Limerick. Ran well in defeat behind Flying Scotsman at the Galway festival last month and one to keep safe here.

Form: 456414

(6)

Extensio³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: P F O'Donnell

200/1

Xtension gelding. Dam was unraced but closely related to top middle-distance performer Manduro. 200/1, well held on debut, beaten 22L at Naas earlier this month.

Form: 0

(2)

Latin Five¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 91

9/1

Improved to win a Curragh handicap on his fourth start last July (6f, good), but only come close to reproducing that in one of his five subsequent starts before a return to form at Naas last month over a similar trip. Not without a chance.

Form: 03-0004

(4)

Real Force²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: G O'Leary| OR: 99

5/2

Yet to go on since maiden victory over 5f here last April but not entirely disgraced since, including a solid effort at Killarney over 1m last month behind Keats.

Form: 1444-42

(3)

Sheer Bravado¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger

33/1

Fraces colt out of a New Approach mare. Well down the pack on dismal debut effort at Naas over 6f when last seen in March. Market likely to be the best guide.

Form: 7

Non-Runners

(1)

Ballyvil¹⁰

Weight: 9-6| Age: 3

T: Miss Ellmarie Holden J: W J Lee

Forecasts

Aztec Parade (11/10), Real Force (5/2), Comfort Line (4/1), Latin Five (9/1), Sheer Bravado (33/1), Ballyvil (33/1), Extensio (200/1)

The Gerard O'Leary-trained REAL FORCE can land the spoils as the Lethal Force gelding attempts to win a second career victory. The three-year-old can build on a good effort to finish second of five runners over 1m at Killarney last month and take the prize at the expense of Aztec Parade who ran out an easy winner of a Leopardstown 1m maiden on good ground for trainer Johnny Murtagh last month. Latin Five, who showed a good attitude at Naas latest and Comfort Line for trainer Michael Mulvany can battle for the minor honours.
