9/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago, making all. Possibilities nudged up 4 lb returned to this shorter trip.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 70| D

5/1

Won first 2 starts at 1m upon returning this summer and again ran well when keeping on third of 14 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 9/1) 13 days ago. Return to this longer trip in her favour and she's a player again in this groove.

Form: 200-113

Elegant Madame²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 71

13/2

3-y-o filly who has improved of late, backing up her previous best for present stable when a rallying second of 12 in handicap at Gowran (1m) 3 weeks ago. Likely to be thereabouts.

Jack Spriggins^p1,t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B M Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 71

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Application of cheekpieces could help and it remains early days with him.

Form: 8-4732

Pink Socks²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Amy Jo Hayes⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 64| D

9/1

Knocked firmly on the door last season and proved as good as ever when shedding maiden tag on return at Gowran (1m) in June. Not disgraced all 3 starts since and the handicapper has relinquished his grip a little.

Form: 20-1258

Campari Soda^b1⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C D Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 68

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (7.2f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Very much appeals as the type to do better now handicapping back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time.

Forecasts

Bucaneer's Spirit (4/1), Brewel Hill (9/2), Stormie Outlook (5/1), Campari Soda (6/1), Jack Spriggins (6/1), Elegant Madame (13/2), Pink Socks (9/1), Trueba (16/1), Mullacash Buzz (28/1)

Claims can be made for most but it may pay to side with one of the least exposed in the shape of CAMPARI SODA. Dermot Weld's filly has shown definite signs of promise in a trio of maidens and the return to 1m rates a plus now handicapping with blinkers enlisted. Elegant Madame and Jack Spriggins may emerge as the chief dangers.
