Charasson⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J Feane| OR: 90| C

8/1

Course winner. 4¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Sky Majesty in listed race (18/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 66 days ago. Remains open to improvement and can play a part of seeing out this trip.

Glen To Glen^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 89| C

7/2

Useful gelding. 20/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form ninth of 21 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This is a steep drop in trip, but he did win over 6f here during the spring.

Form: 4-13429

Iceford⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 88| CD

7/2

Fairly useful gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap (25/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 55 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Collecting Coin³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 86| D

2/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Galway in July. Good third of 6 in minor event (9/4) at Killarney (8.1f, good) 36 days ago, not knocked about. Yard in good form and shouldn't be far away.

Form: 3213

(3)

Rowdy Yeats²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 86| BF| D

10/1

Useful colt. Winner at Naas in March. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 26 days ago, not clear run. Disappointing though that effort was, he was returning from a 13-week break and, moreover, a return to more positive tactics may make the difference.

Form: 22-1230

(4)

Gangsta Man^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: K Smith| OR: 77| D

25/1

Fairly useful gelding. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8.1f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago. Looks up against it on these terms.

Form: 194716

(5)

Rion Rubette⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Hassett⁽³⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 80| D

13/2

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Limerick in June. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 6/1) 5 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 821258

Forecasts

Collecting Coin (2/1), Iceford (7/2), Glen To Glen (7/2), Rion Rubette (13/2), Charasson (8/1), Rowdy Yeats (10/1), Gangsta Man (25/1)

GLEN TO GLEN and Rowdy Yeats both underperformed last time, but they otherwise bring appealing profiles to the table. The former has largely been campaigned over 1¼m this season, but he did win his maiden over 6f here in March and it could be that this trip will prove ideal for the son of Dawn Approach. It's likely that a return to more positive tactics will be in order for Rowdy Yeats and, if that proves to be the case, he will be dangerous. Collecting Coin is third choice.
