Selected odds by:
Useful gelding. Winner at Killarney in May. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Yard having good spell and sound claims again.
|
Useful at best on Flat as a 3-y-o. Yet to scale same heights in trio of starts on the level this term though, and his latest hurdles effort at Cork was underwhelming.
|
Off the mark at Clonmel (9.5f) in September. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, 50/1) 14 days ago, hampered. Drop back in trip may help now.
|
Fairly useful 10.5f maiden winner. Not kicked on from hurdles debut promise for present stable in trio of subsequent starts and quickly dropped in class returned to the Flat.
|
Landed a course minor event (1m) in 2019. Highly tried thereafter last year but well below form on return/debut for Natalia Lupini in June. Has since switched yard again. Tough to assess.
|
Unreliable type who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh in a Tipperary handicap hurdle (2m) 12 days ago, hampered 3 out. Still, others arrive with more pressing claims back on the level.
|
Fairly useful gelding. 9/2, never threatened when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (7.9f, good) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
|
Latest win at Gowran (9.5f) in July. 18/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (12f) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back but not ruled out for each-way purposes.
|
Fair filly. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (10/3) at this course (8f) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Significantly up in trip.
|
Fair gelding. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 13/2, below form sixth of 13 in a C&D claimer back in March. Others more persuasive.
|
Fair gelding. Latest win at Leopardstown (1m) in April. 40/1, last of 15 in handicap at Cork (8.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Up in trip.
|
Fair gelding. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Gay Kelleway when respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
|
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 66/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 15 in handicap at Thurles (16f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Reserve 1.
|
Fair gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Bellewstown (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Reserve 2.
