Brigid's Cloak^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 84| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Eighth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Cork (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Eased 1 lb ahead of this and better showing anticipated.

Form: 212048

(11)

Mint Man^t⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J F Murphy| OR: 80| D

7/2

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 8/1) 5 days ago, leading 2f out and ultimately doing it readily. Subsequent 9 lb hike in the weights makes things tougher, however.

Form: 253631

Aurora Nova¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: W Joyce⁽³⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 76| D

28/1

3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Bellewstown in July. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, slowly away. Ease back down in class can help now.

Form: 061130

(6)

Aviatrice¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 80| BF| D

7/1

Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft, 11/4) 12 days ago. Remains unexposed at sprint trips and no surprise to see her thereabouts.

Form: 221-247

(8)

Imperial Dream³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: R Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 76| CD

18/1

C&D winner from 2 lb lower last season. Not at same level in 2 runs this season, off further 13 weeks prior to finishing fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Better showing could be on the cards now.

Form: 2049-75

(5)

Tropical Retreat⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Foley| T: T Mullins| OR: 79| D

8/1

Latest win at Naas in July. 13/2, creditable 2½ lengths fourth of 14 to Mint Man in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 5 days ago, keeping on. Each-way claims again.

Form: 592184

Bundle Of Interest^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nathan Crosse| T: W McCreery| OR: 78| D

33/1

Lightly-raced winner. 15/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Skillman Ave, well on top finish. Handicapper has reacted with a 9 lb rise but respected given she may have more to offer.

Form: 669-71

(18)

Misappropriation³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 78

12/1

12/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago, every chance over 1f out and fading. Return to sprinting worth exploring on that evidence.

Form: 61-0225

(4)

Rappell^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: P W Flynn| OR: 72| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 5/1) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Step back up in trip rates a likely plus and he's one to consider.

Form: 786525

(1)

Skillman Ave^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 74

22/1

Winner at Tipperary in July. Good 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Bundle of Interest in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to firm, 4/1) 27 days ago, keeping on. Respected in present groove with her rider taking off a handy 7 lb.

Form: 36-8512

Tai Tam Bay⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L F Roche| T: E & P Harty| OR: 70| D

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 33/1, took a step back in the right direction despite meeting with trouble when seventh of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. Interesting if she can build on that from this much-reduced mark.

Form: 2-30097

(14)

Nouvel Espoir⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J Barcoe| OR: 68

10/1

Latest win at Cork in June. Below form 6¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Mint Man in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 16/1) 5 days ago, not ideally placed.

Form: 0-04177

Kwa Herini³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 64

7/1

7/2, creditable 3 lengths fourth of 8 to Tropical Retreat in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 35 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Mint Man (7/2), Rappell (4/1), Aviatrice (7/1), Kwa Herini (7/1), Tropical Retreat (8/1), Brigid's Cloak (9/1), Nouvel Espoir (10/1), Tai Tam Bay (12/1), Misappropriation (12/1), Beauty Queen (12/1), Devil's Angel (12/1), Saturn Seven (14/1), Imperial Dream (18/1), Airspeed (20/1), Skillman Ave (22/1), Sunday Sovereign (25/1), Aurora Nova (28/1), Bundle Of Interest (33/1)

RAPPELL has got back on track with the blinkers fitted of late, faring best of those drawn higher when fifth over the minimum trip here 3 weeks ago. The step back up in trip will suit this previous C&D winner and he could well represent a spot of value in a wide-open contest. Imperial Dream, another former C&D scorer and Naas winner Mint Man are others to consider. Aviatrice and Beauty Queen are others making each-way appeal.
