Dusty Winds¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: S T McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 65| D

12/1

First run since leaving Michael C. Connell when 20/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Gowran (1m) 10 days ago, benefiting from sticking to far rail. Task now is to back that up.

Gatsby Cap^p,t⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: C D Hayes| T: P J Hayes| OR: 64| D

22/1

Latest win at Gowran (1m) in June. Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 66 days ago, seemingly failing to stay. Drop back to 1m rates a plus now.

Men Of Dreams⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D W O'Connor| T: J F Levins| OR: 64

50/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twentieth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 46 days ago, never landing a blow from off the pace. Others more persuasive.

Cactus Tree^b⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: W M Lordan| T: M C Grassick| OR: 59| BF

22/1

Latest win at Leopardstown (7f) in August. Respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 52 days ago, left poorly placed. No surprise to see another good showing from this mark.

Form: 559118

Darkened^b,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 57| BF

9/2

10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (2m) 8 days ago. Should give another good account with blinkers again applied back on Flat.

Dawn Tapper²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 57

12/1

Winner at Leopardstown in August. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Roscommon (11.9f, good) 29 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Treble Cone^v³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: C T Keane| T: G Keane| OR: 51| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Good seventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good, 7/2) 35 days ago, making only late headway. Refitting of a visor needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 46-0007

Olivia Valere¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D McMonagle⁽³⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 53

17/2

Maiden who ran respectably when 7¼ lengths fourth of 16 to Dusty Winds in handicap (15/2) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, running on. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 555024

12/1

Last of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 66 days ago. Given a break subsequently but she needs to leave that effort in her wake to feature here.

Form: 00-9050

A competitive finale with several arriving with claims, including DARKENED. He's fallen to a handy mark on the Flat and has been running well over hurdles of late, posting his best effort yet in that sphere when runner-up in first-time blinkers at Listowel last week. He gets the nod, with Colonel Slade, Cactus Tree and Dusty Winds a trio of others worthy of a second look.
