14/1

Latest win at Killarney in July. Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap (10/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and she looks competitive on form.

17/2

Blinkered for 1st time, returned to form when third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/1) 9 days ago, going well when denied a run early in straight. It's worth bearing in mind he's no easy ride, though.

9/2

Forecasts

The Bog Bank (4/1), Scarriff (9/2), Barnhill Rose (9/2), What Adaay (13/2), Tara Power (8/1), Harbanaker (17/2), Shawaf (9/1), Corballis Flyer (14/1), Rosie Rock (14/1), Airgead (16/1), Kudbegood (16/1), Beleaguerment (16/1), Eastern Racer (18/1), Guessthebill (20/1), Gatsby Cap (22/1), Stardayz (33/1), Catherine Chroi (50/1), Silver Nemo (66/1)

Cases can be made for several of these but preference is for SCARRIFF, who left previous exploits in maidens behind switched to handicap company when fourth under this rider at Killarney 6 weeks ago and should be capable of better still with this being just her fifth career start. Kudbegood has been given a chance by the handicapper so he heads up the dangers, ahead of The Bog Bank and Barnhill Rose.
