Tawaazon^b,t⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: C T Keane| T: J McAuley| OR: 60| D

7/1

13/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Dundalk (5f) 5 days ago, quickening clear. Obvious claims under a penalty if able to match that level of form on turf but it remains to be seen if he will be able to do so, particularly with conditions likely to be testing.

Form: 434611

(8)

Mogwli^v⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jessica Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 65| C

11/2

Course winner. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 4 days ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark and no surprise if he's on the premises.

Form: 75037-4

(10)

It'll Do My Day⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S P Bird⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 63| D

16/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form fifth of 17 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 4 days ago. Return to this trip should be in his favour and he needs considering off the same mark.

Form: 54900-5

Seeingisbelieving⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: G F Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 63

9/2

Good second of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 16/1) 4 days ago (several of these rivals behind). Still seeking first taste of success but perhaps this drop to the minimum trip will make the difference.

Form: 94908-2

Elanora^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: W J Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 62| CD

15/2

C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. 9/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 20907-6

(16)

Conversant^b,t⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 61| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 14/1) 4 days ago. Probably needs some respite from the handicapper.

Form: 6/8100-8

(20)

Samrogue¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: C P Hoban| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 61| D

50/1

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Dundalk (5f) 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more persuasive.

Form: 1100-99

(19)

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam Caffrey⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 61| BF| D

9/1

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2021. 8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 5 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 2-23377

(13)

Hot Sunset^t,v⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D McMonagle| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 59

11/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. Below form ninth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 4 days ago. Visor back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 47003-9

(2)

Pulse Of Shanghai^b,t⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S Foley| T: J McAuley| OR: 58| D

12/1

Twenty-five runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 8/1) 5 days ago. Modest strike rate on turf and looks vulnerable.

Form: 0-66832

(7)

Peerless^p1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 55| D

80/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 11/2) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 00000-0

(5)

Gallow Hill²⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R C Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 54

66/1

Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 11/1). Off 9 months and needs to bounce back but will be a danger were she to do so off this reduced mark.

Form: 305480-

(14)

Teddy Boy¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D E Sheehy⁽³⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 52| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Solid each-way claims.

Form: 426-092

(9)

Ecclesiastical⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: J J G Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 47| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 61 days ago, met some trouble. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 75630-0

(17)

Hot Whispers^p,t¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: B M Coen| T: S Nolan| OR: 47

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy, 33/1). Off 157 days and will need to find improvement from somewhere if she's to open her account.

Form: 876303-

(15)

It's All A Joke^t⁸²

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

100/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, last of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 82 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 847/69-0

Let's Believe¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J A Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brabazon| OR: 47

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, bit below form 3¾ lengths sixth of 17 to Conversant in handicap at this course (5.8f, soft). Off 175 days and she's essentially opposable.

Form: 00/026-

(18)

Midnight Treasure⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K J Leonard| T: R P Burns| OR: 47

200/1

SEEINGISBELIEVING remains a maiden following 12 attempts but he put in a good shift when going close at the Curragh on Saturday and may well go one better on his first attempt at 5f. Mogwli and It'll Do My Day, fourth and fifth respectively in the same handicap, have each-way claims but Teddy Boy, who has posted numerous solid efforts over this C&D, is feared most. Tawaazon has been in great nick on the all-weather of late but he's 0-11 on turf and the likely slow ground is a worry.
