Inishmot Prince⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 64| C

7/4

15/8, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (5f) 5 days ago, keeping on well. Likeable/versatile sort who should make his presence felt again under a penalty.

Form: 756331

Big Dream^t¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Moore| T: A McCann| OR: 65| C

12/1

Course winner. 25/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Naas (7f, good) in July, dropping away early in the straight. Absent since and worth noting sole success to date came on AW, so interesting if market spoke in his favour.

Form: 610-400

(17)

Delta Romeo^b1,t⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: G O'Leary| OR: 60

28/1

25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 14 in claimer at Roscommon (10.2f, good to soft) 79 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 7400-50

(6)

Flag High⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D W O'Connor| T: J C McConnell| OR: 57

25/1

20/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 44 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Mark has eased further but he needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Form: 970070

(16)

Company Keeping^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: E J McNamara| T: P Downey| OR: 52| BF| D

4/1

Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 9/2) 12 days ago, just failing. Not taken lightly.

Form: 909022

(2)

Irish Act^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W J Lee| T: J McAuley| OR: 52

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (66/1) at this course (6f) 19 days ago, inadequate test. Promises to do better now handicapping with the step back up in trip a positive.

Form: 569

(12)

Lady Liza¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: E Lynam| OR: 51

80/1

Hooded for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this course (6f) 12 days ago, offering no encouragement on the back of 11 months off. Needs to step up plenty.

Form: 0/8969-0

(5)

Finke River²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J McAuley| OR: 50

4/1

Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago. Remains less exposed than most he meets here and he's one to consider re-united with Shane Foley/dropped back in trip.

Form: 004537

(4)

Ceapach Rua^t1²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S D Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 47

Double Martini^t⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 47

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 28/1) 47 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 700704

(1)

Eleuthera^p¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 47| D

28/1

Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on but losing run stretches back to summer 2020.

Form: 266006

(10)

Hot Bell^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Nathan Crosse| T: A Slattery| OR: 47

20/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Twenty sixth of 29 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 7 days ago, ridden over 2f out and weakening. Must bounce back.

Form: 003080

(7)

Sovereignty^h,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K J Leonard| T: P J McKenna| OR: 47

14/1

Forecasts

Inishmot Prince (7/4), Finke River (4/1), Company Keeping (4/1), Irish Act (10/1), Big Dream (12/1), Double Martini (14/1), Sovereignty (14/1), Hot Bell (20/1), Amazing One (20/1), Flag High (25/1), Delta Romeo (28/1), Eleuthera (28/1), Ceapach Rua (66/1), Lady Liza (80/1)

INISHMOT PRINCE is a likeable sort and proved as good as ever when getting on top late on over 5f here 5 days ago. Versatile as regards trip, the return to 7f will hold no fears and he can make another bold bid in his present groove. Company Keeping also arrives in good order and is feared, along with Finke River and Irish Act. The returning Big Dream also needs monitoring in the betting.
