Sea Wolf⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 101| CD

5/1

Winner of the Irish Cambridgeshire here over C&D back in August. Close third on comeback run at Naas and gives the impression there is still more to come. Should go well.

Form: 21010-3

Round Two^t⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 98| C| D

14/1

Gives the impression we are yet to see the best of him yet but becoming frustrating to follow. Won't mind the cut in the ground but hard to imagine he is that well-handicapped.

Form: 63013-5

(4)

Sevenleft⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: R P Whelan| T: Ms S Lavery| OR: 97

9/1

Doesn't shape like he'll appreciate this step up in trip and only just held on over 7f at Dundalk two starts back. On a higher mark now and best watched.

Form: 30891-5

(9)

Reckless Endeavour⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: G F Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 96

20/1

Two-time winner who will enjoy the return to softer ground but missed the break badly last time at Naas and won't get away with those antics in this field.

Form: 2253-39

(11)

Mizaah^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C D Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 95| C

9/1

Well backed favourite on penultimate start but failed to justify that, finishing eight of 18. Much better last time at Naas when runner-up but 5lb hike for that effort looks a little harsh.

Form: 2433-82

(16)

Windsor Beach^p1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 93

11/1

Made big strides last season, winning three times in handicap company. Still on a fair mark and should come on for his run last time out. Leading player in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 12161-8

Hasanour^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford| OR: 92| CD

14/1

Campaigned at Meydan earlier in the year, he has since finished seventh of 10 in a 1m2f handicap at this track. Drops back in trip and has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 0-80847

(8)

Our Channel^h1⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: G P Halpin⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Mooney| OR: 92| BF

50/1

Unplaced on five starts for Jamie Osbourne after leaving William Haggas' stable but dropped to a very fair mark as a result. First-time hood may help him settle and capable of going well on yard debut.

Form: 04-4855

(14)

Turbine^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 91

16/1

7f AW Flat winner for Mark Johnston but yet to get his head in front for this yard and best turf efforts have come on faster ground than what he will get here.

Form: 17-7552

(18)

St Gallen^b1⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J A Heffernan| T: J J Murphy| OR: 90| D

33/1

Won Killarney maiden last season but has proven vulnerable in handicap company since and needs the first-time blinkers to bring about some improvement.

Form: 4/1544-0

(13)

Katiymann⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: M Halford| OR: 88| D

4/1

Excellent runner-up effort over C&D at the end of last season and confirmed the promise of that effort with a win on his comeback run at Leopardstown. 9lb rise for that looks a little harsh but proven on soft ground at least.

Form: 19062-1

(12)

Breathe Easy²⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: W M Lordan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 87| CD

12/1

All four of his turf wins have come at this course and not beaten far here two starts back. Has won when fresh before and not dismissed around here provided he's ready to go.

Form: 74/1020-

(1)

Keble^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Joyce| OR: 87

25/1

Very exciting three-year-old career and signs he was getting back on track when last seen at here earlier in the month. Should come on again for that effort having missed the whole of 2016 and on a fair mark.

Form: 2122/07

(21)

Tribal Path^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: D P McDonogh| T: D English| OR: 86| D

25/1

Proven on softer ground but handicap mark looks well beyond him and this draw unlikely to be ideal.

Form: 0-44296

Fit For Function²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P J Smullen| T: J G Murphy| OR: 85

20/1

Looks better over 7f than the mile and best efforts have come on either the AW or turf with firm in the going description.

Form: 7174-92

Valentana⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 84| D

14/1

Rattled off a hat-trick last summer but been struggling off her revised mark and in need of relief from the handicapper before she becomes of interest again.

Form: 31118-0

(15)

Bainne⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 81| CD

20/1

Course winner here two starts back but generally struggles off a mark this high. Won't mind the softer conditions so not without a place chance.

Form: 633318

Clonard Street^t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: N G McCullagh| T: A J Martin| OR: 81| D

50/1

Winner of a Galway maiden over an extended 1m on debut in August 2014. Gone 14 races without success since then including outings over hurdles and struggled off this mark on the Flat last month. Hard to fancy.

Form: 24/000-0

(6)

Beau Satchel^t⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: R P Cleary| T: A McGuinness| OR: 76| D

12/1

Six wins from 40 starts and back below his last winning mark after several disappointing efforts this year. Hard to fancy in current form.

Form: 17-0000

Honor Oak⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: T Hogan| OR: 74| D

16/1

Three-time winner and sole turf win came on soft ground. Running consistently well without getting her head in front recently but could struggle here from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Katiymann (4/1), Sea Wolf (5/1), Mizaah (9/1), Sevenleft (9/1), Windsor Beach (11/1), Breathe Easy (12/1), Beau Satchel (12/1), Elleval (12/1), Valentana (14/1), Round Two (14/1), Hasanour (14/1), Honor Oak (16/1), Turbine (16/1), Bainne (20/1), Fit For Function (20/1), Reckless Endeavour (20/1), Tribal Path (25/1), Keble (25/1), St Gallen (33/1), Clonard Street (50/1), Our Channel (50/1)

SEA WOLF gives the impression he could go on to pattern level at some stage and he could well prove too classy for his rivals here. Our Channel is leniently handicapped and any market support may prove significant for that rival. Windsor Beach should come on for his comeback run and the first-time cheekpieces may eek out a little improvement.
