Grey Leader¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: J G Murphy| OR: 82| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in minor event at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 9/1) 13 days ago, running on. Needs considering.

Form: 5-70204

Presence^b⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79| D

6/1

Creditable third of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Punchestown (9.3f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on and she is very much one to consider on the back of that eye-catching effort.

Form: 009753

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J E Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 75| D

5/1

Sixteenth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 33/1) 8 days ago. Not without hope back down in trip and in calmer waters here.

7/2

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft, 6/4) 47 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 77

100/1

First run since leaving Raphael Freire when tenth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: R O'Brien| OR: 71

50/1

Eighth of 16 in handicap (80/1) at Limerick (8.2f, heavy). Off 150 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P A Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 69

11/2

Winner at Ballinrobe in May. 7/1, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Place possibilities.

Form: 149325

(9)

Si Senior^h,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 66

12/1

Latest win at Ballinrobe in June. Respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft, 12/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly back down in trip and couldn't rule out.

Forecasts

Annie's Angel (7/2), Grey Leader (7/2), Rhythm King (5/1), Flying Fortress (11/2), Presence (6/1), Arch Enemy (8/1), Secret Magician (12/1), Si Senior (12/1), Quatre Bras (50/1), Reposado (100/1)

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and it's PRESENCE who tops the list on the back of a promising display at Punchestown where she put in good late work from the rear. Likely to be ridden more positively back down in trip here with blinkers refitted, the 4-y-o makes plenty of appeal. Si Senior and Rhythm King are feared most in that order of preference, while Grey Leader also has claims.
