Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: S T McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 70| BF| C

10/3

Winner here (7f) in January. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (2/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Worth a second look in present groove.

Form: 0/708-16

18/1

Tenth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in August, ridden over 2f out and weakening. Bounce back certainly not ruled out back from a break.

Aleksey Tolstoy^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 67

17/2

7/1, stepped up on yard debut effort when creditable fourth of 10 in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. Remains less exposed than most and possibilities in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 673/09-4

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 67| C

16/1

Course winner. 10/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago, never landing a blow on the back of 5 months off. No surprise to see him sharper here.

Form: 83958-0

Innamorare^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: C D Maxwell| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 66| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Naas (1m) in July, making little impression. Returns from a break now from reduced mark but yard may hold stronger claims with Aleksey Tolstoy.

Form: 5040/87-

14/1

Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Royal Scholar in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, every chance 2f out and keeping on. Remains low-mileage on AW and this mark doesn't look beyond him.

Miracles In May²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: M A Cahill| OR: 62| CD

15/2

9/2

6/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 16 days ago, running on late from off the pace. Another expected to be thereabouts again.

Koybig^t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: D Marnane| OR: 59| CD

9/1

4-time C&D winner. 11/1, creditable 1½ lengths third of 13 to Royal Scholar in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Losing run is mounting up but no reason why he won't give his running again.

Form: 50353-3

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: R Roberts| OR: 56

40/1

Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 65 days ago. Mark is easing all the time but she needs to step up again to feature here. Reserve 2.

Forecasts

Liquid Luck (10/3), No Show (9/2), Royal Scholar (9/2), Stop On Red (11/2), Miracles In May (15/2), Aleksey Tolstoy (17/2), Koybig (9/1), Take My Hand (10/1), Macadam's Rock (14/1), Capla Knight (16/1), No Patience (16/1), Tresorier (16/1), Colonel Slade (16/1), Sincerest (18/1), Praying Mantis (25/1), Innamorare (33/1), Wild Cherry (40/1)

Plenty arrive with claims in an open-looking finale including LIQUID LUCK. A winner over 7f on his penultimate start, he was far from disgraced when midfield over C&D 16 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. He gets the nod from a handy draw, with No Show, Royal Scholar and Aleksey Tolstoy heading up the list of dangers.
