Star Harbour^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 103

6/1

Smart gelding. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner minor event (4/5) at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 10 days ago, quickening to lead dying strides. Well worth considering.

5/1

Useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Goodwood in July. Tenth of 14 in handicap (9/4) at the Curragh (10f, good) 12 days ago, weakening final 1f having taken a strong hold. Cheekpieces discarded and he's in with a shout.

Bright Stripes^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 107

8/1

Useful colt. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 3¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Diego Velazquez in Solonaway Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good, 80/1) 13 days ago. Drop back down in class in his favour on polytrack debut.

Ameerat Jumaira^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R P Whelan| T: M Halford & T Collins| OR: 91| CD

9/2

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 16/1, creditable sixth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (13f, good) 13 days ago. Yard having good spell but more on her plate on first foray in to listed company.

Form: 3-20116

Fiver Friday^h⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M W Hassett| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 90

66/1

Enjoying a fine season and resumed winning ways in a race run to suit at Naas (10.4f) in August. Stamina stretched when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago but this looks a tall ask.

Platoon³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

9/4

Makes plenty of appeal on paper and proved uncomplicated in making a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Leopardstown 91m) 5 weeks ago, soon in front and always holding on. Bred to stay at least this far and respected quickly up in grade.

Thalara¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D P McDonogh| T: H De Bromhead

25/1

First run since leaving K. J. Condon when 5/1, won 16-runner maiden at Gowran (9.5f) in June, driven clear. This asks another question but likely she has more to offer.

Form: 4/1

Bellezza¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C D Hayes| T: G M Lyons| OR: 102

9/1

Useful filly. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, 7¼ lengths last of 9 to Hanalia in Blandford Stakes at the Curragh (10f, good) 12 days ago. This appeals as a more suitable assignment with blinkers left off.

Form: 1-52239

Madam Celeste⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G F Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 97| C

15/2

Lightly-raced course winner. 13½ lengths twelfth of 14 to You Got To Me in Irish Oaks (40/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 69 days ago. Sights quickly lowered here and feasible to think she will yet do better on the back of just 4 career starts.

Forecasts

Platoon (9/4), Ameerat Jumaira (9/2), Take Heart (5/1), Star Harbour (6/1), Madam Celeste (15/2), Bright Stripes (8/1), Bellezza (9/1), Chantilly (10/1), Thalara (25/1), Fiver Friday (66/1)

STAR HARBOUR has been operating at the top of his game in recent months, making it 3 wins from his last 6 starts at Punchestown 10 days ago so, in an open-looking race of it's type, he could be the way to go. Leopardstown debut winner Platoon is open to any amount of improvement and is next best ahead of class-dropping pair Bellezza and Bright Stripes.
