20¼ lengths last of 13 to Nighteyes in listed race at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 18/1) 23 days ago, possibly amiss. Not one to write off.

Profit Refused²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 84| D

9/2

Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 27 days ago. This is less competitive and she's worth a chance to gain compensation for her recent consistency.

Form: 16-7835

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 78| D

4/1

Salah Belle⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 78

11/1

Lightly-raced winner. Latest win at the Curragh in June. Respectable 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Linger For Longer in minor event at Limerick (6.7f, good, 17/2) 40 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1-8175

(10)

Back Down Under²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Keithen Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: P Roche| OR: 77| D

17/2

Winner at the Curragh in June. 12/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Can get involved if the race is run to suit.

Form: 7-34515

(1)

Linger For Longer⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: A Leahy| OR: 72| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Career best when winning 9-runner minor event (9/1) at Limerick (6.7f, good) 40 days ago, responding well. Bids for the hat-trick and is likely to put up another bold showing.

Form: 40-5011

Forecasts

Kailasa (4/1), Profit Refused (9/2), Anvika (5/1), National Lady (7/1), Back Down Under (17/2), Independent Expert (10/1), Serialise (11/1), Salah Belle (11/1), Linger For Longer (12/1), Elinor Dashwood (25/1), Gunzburg (25/1)

PROFIT REFUSED has been in good form for a while and this represents a drop in grade, so she takes preference over the hat-trick seeking Linger For Longer, with Independent Expert also likely to be on the premises.
