Dont Do Dramas³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: W Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 58| D

16/1

Without a win in nine starts since last summer, finished ninth of 12 in a claimer at Sligo (9/1) 31 days ago where likely needed the run. Well below last winning mark but remains to be seen if he can recapture his form.

Form: 079-009

Lunar Landscape⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: James Ryan| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 58

9/1

Maiden showed he retained ability following a lay-off when 5th at Down Royal in June and finished second of 9 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9/1) 47 days ago but was well beaten by an improving winner. Can be competitive if in similar form here.

Form: 2272/52

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: G Keane| OR: 57| BF

11/2

Proved better than ever to gain overdue first success at Gowran Park (9f) 24 days ago, then ran third of 9 in handicap at Cork (8f) (1/1) 23 days ago. Continues in good heart and return to longer trip could suit.

Form: 032213

Wing Glider²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: G M Ryan| T: R Brabazon| OR: 57

25/1

Maiden after 7 career starts and finished eleventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran Park (20/1) 24 days ago, fading after being close up early (possibly needed the run). Yet to improve for handicaps but it's still early days.

Form: 87767-0

My Vonnie⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Rice| OR: 56

16/1

Below form recently, finishing eighth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (11/1) 56 days ago and weakening over 1f out. Step up in trip needs to bring improvement.

Form: 468-068

(11)

Explorers Way^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Kinirons| OR: 55| D

14/1

Has shown nothing in recent runs, finishing last of 13 in handicap at Sligo over 13f (28/1) 31 days ago.

Form: 355-707

(1)

Roderick^p,t³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Sweeney| OR: 54

12/1

Won a handicap at Naas (8/1) 45 days ago and shaped as if still in form when fifth of 12 in a claimer at Sligo over 10.6f (17/2) 31 days ago, chased leaders and driven 3f out before plugging on late. No surprise to see him in the mix on return to a handicap.

Form: 022515

(17)

Sottsands⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Sam Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 58

9/1

Attracted support when finishing third of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (9/1) 6 days ago, running much better than of late without usual visor. Again goes without headgear and is respected off an unchanged mark.

Form: 550603

(18)

Vervain²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J G Murphy| OR: 57

14/1

Won a 12f handicap at Cork (10/3) 43 days ago before disappointing when ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6/1) 22 days ago, making little impression. May fare better back on turf.

Form: 807319

(3)

Celtic Druid⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Robert Whearty⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 50

10/1

Won a 12f handicap at Bellewstown before finishing eighth of 14 in handicap at Killarney over 11f (15/2) 12 days, following a good run with a below-par one in softer conditions. Drops in trip and has been given more time between races this time. Could get back on track.

Form: 759318

Duchess Anne⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 50

25/1

Has hinted at ability in three maiden starts without being given an overly hard time. Interesting to see if the market points to improvement now handicapping.

Form: 568

(23)

Game Phoenix^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: Paul Power| OR: 46

8/1

Produced best flat effort when runner-up in a handicap at Cork over this distance in May (third boosted form next time). In good heart over hurdles, third of 16 in a maiden hurdle at Killarney (5/1) 14 days ago. Looks interesting returned to the level.

Form: 860-U20

(21)

Highland Harvey⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K J Leonard| T: A J Martin| OR: 52

28/1

Went off a much shorter price than previously but finished tenth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (8/1) 5 days ago, didn't get home over 12f trip. May be more suited by this return to 10f.

Form: 900090

(24)

Johnny's Oasis^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 51

12/1

Maiden with mixed form in handicaps, showing some improvement when sixth of 16 in a handicap at Gowran Park (25/1) 24 days ago, wearing first-time cheekpieces. Return to this course (scene of best turf run) could help.

Form: 050676

(10)

Launch Time⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: Cian Hughes| OR: 51

4/1

Made late headway when fourth in maiden in June but finished eleventh of 16 on handicap debut at Gowran Park (25/1) 42 days ago, never on terms. Positive jockey booking and interesting if improving for the markedly longer trip.

Form: 9-400

(19)

Portmagee^p1³⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: J C McConnell| OR: 40

25/1

No wins from 13 starts, eighth of 13 in AW handicap at Dundalk (10/1) 344 days ago. First-time cheekpieces replace visor on first run for new trainer but hard to be confident unless market vibes are positive following a 1-year absence.

Form: 800/788-

(9)

Together Aclaim^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 40| D

14/1

Won at Cork (10f) in May but now 4 runs without success, typically slow away on most recent fifth of 14 in AW handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) (12/1) 22 days ago, hampered from 2f out and better than the result on the day. Stalls issues continue to hinder and will need some luck in running.

Form: 916485

(16)

Romantic War^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: C Geerdharry⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Murray| OR: 40

80/1

Ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (300/1) 22 days ago and was well held. Plenty to prove upped markedly in trip back in a handicap.

Form: 009079

Harseva^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J M Sheridan| T: P Magee| OR: 42

16/1

Well held in 12th in AW handicap at Dundalk (17/2) 22 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that run. RESERVE

Forecasts

Launch Time (4/1), Thegooseiscooked (11/2), Game Phoenix (8/1), Lunar Landscape (9/1), Sottsands (9/1), Celtic Druid (10/1), Pegasus Of Harry (10/1), Johnny's Oasis (12/1), Roderick (12/1), Explorers Way (14/1), Vervain (14/1), Together Aclaim (14/1), Tartaraghan (14/1), Harseva (16/1), My Vonnie (16/1), Dont Do Dramas (16/1), Just Another Eagle (16/1), Wing Glider (25/1), Duchess Anne (25/1), Portmagee (25/1), Limestone Red (25/1), Lady Delila (25/1), Beat The Devil (25/1), Highland Harvey (28/1), Diamond Cross (33/1), Romantic War (80/1)

A wide-open handicap. GAME PHOENIX returns to the Flat after a creditable hurdles effort and looks well-placed to build on her runner-up performance over this distance in May (form has been franked by the third). Of the less-exposed types, Launch Time offered something to work with in maidens and is worth noting for support now stepped up markedly in trip, along with handicap debutante Duchess Anne who wasn't given an overly hard time in her qualifying runs.
