Mehmar^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C T Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 91| D

11/4

2 wins from 2 runs this year. 7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 12 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 2320/11

Jon Riggens^t⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J J G Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 85| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 85 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 452-485

Apache Outlaw¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam Caffrey⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 83| D

8/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Limerick in May. 9/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 85 days ago, better placed than most. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 00-2112

Greek Flower²⁸

Weight: 9-2| Age: 5

T: J Feane J: J A Powell

Forecasts

Mehmar (11/4), Heavenly Power (4/1), Torivega (9/2), Greek Flower (9/2), Apache Outlaw (6/1), Jon Riggens (6/1), Pinar Del Rio (8/1), Thunderbear (12/1), Laugh A Minute (40/1)

GREEK FLOWER signalleed she is ready to go in again when runner-up here last time so is taken to bag another C&D victory. Hat-trick seeking Mehmar is feared most with Apache Outlaw and Heavenly Power also well worthy of respect.
