Pearl Warrior¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: S B Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 88| CD

7/4

C&D winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, soft, 16/1) 14 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 110-164

Legal Spin¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 81

3/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2018. 10/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, soft) 19 days ago, barely adequate test. Should be thereabouts if in the same mood.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: James J Doyle| T: J McAuley| OR: 77

18/1

Winner at Fairyhouse in July. Respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 50-7159

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: M M McNiff| OR: 74

5/1

Latest win at Sligo in July. 15/2, good seventh of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.2f, good) 8 days ago. Mark looks about right now.

Next In Line^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Barrett| OR: 82

13/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft, 12/1) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Firmly on the up, so definite claims if he gets the longer trip.

Form: 0-9811

The Alpha Man¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J A Heffernan| T: R O'Brien| OR: 71

20/1

11/1

22/1, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Fair on AW

22/1

One win from 29 Flat runs. 22/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good) 26 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Pearl Warrior (7/4), Legal Spin (3/1), Sicario (5/1), Bardo Contiguo (6/1), Next In Line (13/2), Cape Islay (10/1), Effernock Fizz (11/1), Timemakesitfine (18/1), The Alpha Man (20/1), Itsalonglongroad (22/1)

C&D winner PEARL WARRIOR has run with credit in more competitive affairs than this the last twice so, provided he doesn't get too much pressure up front, he's capable of landing this up against mostly exposed, averagely handicapped types. Next In Line and Legal Spin are the chief dangers.
