	Win	Place
Carrigans GroveR Donaghue-Leahy (4) - P J Flynn221322	9/2	11/10
Has shot up the weights due to a productive campaign yet again went close when a clear second over C&D two weeks ago, up another 3lb with cheekpieces added and needs considering.
Send HarryP McGettigan (4) - Miss E McCutcheon433933	7/1	13/10
Has 2l to find with Carrigans Grove on their recent clash here but this 3yo has had a solid season and is unlikely to be far away.
UndefeatableNicola Burns (2) - K Smith7-3601	7/1	13/8
Has raced nine times but only twice at 6f and has finished third and first, last time running on well to score by over 2l at Sligo, the runner-up prevailed in a big field at Naas last weekend, chance.
AmicitiaC Geerdharry (7) - J P Murtagh5-64	8/1	7/4
Beaten about 4l in her last two maidens (both over 6f) and this mark looks manageable given the RPRs she's been posting.
Gordon BennettP A Harnett - R Brabazon430777	10/1	5/2
Hold-up performer who has been running better than this form figures may suggest and he's very capable off this sort of mark.
RosatoR M Mulligan (2) - Charles Weld01-801	11/1	14/5
All three wins have been at this trip, the latest by a short-head at Naas late in July, each-way claims off 5lb higher.
NammosSadhbh Tormey (7) - A McGuinness4-4764	11/1	5/2
Two-time AW winner over 7f for Jane Chapple-Hyam, fourth over 6f here 14 days ago when behind a couple of these and may need an extra furlong ideally.
Nouvel EspoirS A Wallace (7) - J Barcoe041777	12/1	14/5
Has only ever won over 5f and opposable anyway after his last three pieces of form.
Run Forrest RunD S O'Sullivan (4) - Thomas Coyle-03896	14/1	16/5
Close up at Down Royal in May over 7f but opposable on his other runs this season.
Annie LaviniaSorcha Woods (4) - E Lynam549210	14/1	7/2
Finally off the mark at Naas (6f) but only tenth here recently when behind some of these.
Night MagicK G Kennedy - Mrs J Harrington68-530	16/1	7/2
Placed on handicap debut at Gowran but faded in the cheekpieces at Naas (again over 7f), dropping back to 6f might not be ideal.
Ace In The PackT Casey (7) - Daniel Murphy83006-	16/1	17/4
Well held in two handicaps before finishing sixth in a maiden claimer on the AW.
Cali CaseUndefined - M O'Callaghan07-5	18/1	5/1
Makes handicap debut after an improved effort over C&D when rallying into fifth, has potential.
Only SpoofingA Browne-Souza (7) - Kevin Coleman486797	18/1	4/1
Multiple winner who continues to run well, last week finishing seventh of 21 at Naas, probably vulnerable from a win perspective.
El FontenaroJ Cleary - J P Fahey-34485	18/1	17/4
No wins in 12 but not far away in most of her races this campaign (5f/6f) and should pop up at some point.
Moonhall LassH J Horgan - P J F Murphy746304	20/1	5/1
No wins in 16 but placed a few times and dropping back to sprinting could benefit, with a new trainer.
Sunday SovereignA S Grant (7) - G A Kingston00-350	22/1	11/2
Twice ran okay in July and couldn't have given his running behind Annie Lavinia at Naas, each-way chance if back on song.
YaxchilanJ S Dalton (7) - Gerard O'Leary-58010	22/1	6/1
Ex-Dermot Weld, had dropped a long way in the weights when winning at Fairyhouse (6f) but could have run better at Leopardstown, for all that it was over 7f.
Catherine ChroiC Cusack (7) - C O'Connell420096	25/1	7/1
Well handicapped on best form last season but will need to improve on her last four efforts.
She's SmartJ Pietropaolo (7) - A McGuinness000910	28/1	15/2
7f perhaps too far last time and had previously doubled her career tally with a narrow success over Limerick's extended 6f, knows what these big-field handicaps are all about.
American In ParisA J Casey (7) - P W Flynn321980	28/1	17/2
Beat Annie Lavinia over 6f at Naas four runs back but hasn't built on that at all, blinkers return for a visor.
Just JumpD A Kidd (7) - A Slattery873-46	33/1	10/1
Makes handicap debut after six defeats and the closest he came was on the AW (6f), others safer after a lengthy break.
ZabeirRebecca Parsons (7) - D Kinsella0-4300	33/1	9/1
Sole win came on the AW and he's 0-20 on turf after finishing down the field over 1m here two weeks ago, this is a belated first attempt at sprinting.
GegenpressingJessica O'Gorman (7) - E & P Harty0-7190	33/1	9/1
Five-time winner but below par here last time and he's now 0-14 at this venue.
KayamiteM L Malone (7) - C Timmons757-87	40/1	12/1
Down the field in both her handicaps over 5f and others have far more pressing claims.

	Win	Place
Mo Ghille MarOlivia Marnane - Mrs J Harrington506105	5/2	4/5
Three wins include 1m5f Down Royal fillies handicap last month (good), beaten off revised mark twice since but has to be considered a leading player here.
MordorWilliam Kennedy - G Elliott1-3102	11/4	20/21
Dual-purpose performer comes into the race on the back of an excellent second in 12-runner 2m5f Goodwood handicap, trip on the short side but major player.
DunkerqueReserve 3 - G P Cromwell23611/	8/1	12/5
Third reserve, dual Flat winner in Denmark in 2023, stays 1m4f, fair hurdler nowadays, not one to rule out if getting a run.
Sacred OathP Shanahan - D K Weld8-1449	10/1	11/4
Placed turf form before winning 1m2f AW maiden in March in first-time cheekpieces, couple of good turf runs since, one to consider.
Redwood QueenD J Condon - C Collins5680-7	11/1	16/5
Six-time hurdles winner at up to 2m4f on good/yielding, left Charles Byrnes after controversial unseat at Wexford in May, ran well at Downpatrick latest, fair bit to find on Flat form though.
Silent GuardianDavid Ryan - E Mullins3430-	11/1	14/5
Solid efforts in maidens over shorter last year, modest enough start hurdling in April and has had a break since, not an obvious one but don't rule out.
Jungle CoveClaire O'Ryan - Mrs J Harrington791-60	12/1	16/5
Three Flat wins over shorter, below best in just two runs this year and yard have a stronger contender in Mo Ghille Mar.
ChortalReserve 1 - G Elliott657-	12/1	—
First reserve, fairly useful hurdler of late, winning at Bellewstown and placed in novice company, respected if getting a run.
Kazakh D'arthelBartosz Barty Walczak - G P CromwellFirst Race	16/1	—
Maiden jumper but still every chance when last-fence faller at Thurles when last seen in February, hard to see him featuring on Flat debut.
Ossifer HopsReserve 2 - G ElliottFirst Race	16/1	—
Second reserve, ordinary hurdles form, yard have stronger contenders.
PreparationsSam Austin - A Slattery1-5230	18/1	4/1
Won over this trip in Bellewstown handicap last autumn and some good runs in defeat this year, place claims.
SerafinaBarry Lacy - D K Weld41/805	20/1	6/1
1m1f winner at Clonmel in 2022, after long absence yet to hit form this campaign and loads to find on ratings.
Eagles ReignGary Dowling - R O'Sullivan600/0-	22/1	7/1
Talented hurdler is rated a paltry 52 on the level but could well outrun that figure here.
Hardy DiamondLucy Kayes - G ElliottFirst Race	22/1	7/1
In-form handicap chaser, winning at Kilbeggan latest, Flat debut.
Cut The RopeBrian Whelan - E & P Harty3-	22/1	13/2
Bumper winner is 0-9 hurdling, second at Downpatrick on recent return, not an obvious one on only second Flat start.
Hell Left LooseAaron Smullen - D Hogan036U95	22/1	7/1
Regressive 9yo down to a meagre rating of 38, new trip.
Lightning LegsElla Budds - G Elliott948-00	22/1	7/1
Recent Downpatrick hurdles second but 42 Flat rating says plenty.
Red GloryJessica Kinsella - H De Bromhead53595/	28/1	9/1
Flat win came over this trip fully five years ago, dual hurdles winner since, including last month, others appear more likely.
The MediatorTara Moneypenny - G Elliott045-09	33/1	11/1
Bumper/hurdles winner is 0-8 on the Flat and looks to have it to do on figures.
Explorers WayKatie Timmons - A Kinirons355-70	40/1	14/1
Wins have all been at 1m2f, plenty to do on ratings.
Fascinating ShadowChristopher Brabston - J J Hanlon89-498	40/1	14/1
Long losing run and rating leaves him with loads to find with some of these.
Shabra DiyaJennifer Babington - A McCannFirst Race	40/1	14/1
Has shown some ability in bumpers but an unlikely one here.
FireworksBen Cusack - J J Hanlon90176/	66/1	28/1
Both wins over shorter, hurdling (to little effect) of late, hard to be confident in back on the level.
MaharajjahCian Fenelon - L Young-34700	80/1	35/1
Is 0-8 on Flat, best of those came on AW in maidens at 7f/1m earlier this year, tongue-tied now.
