15th	1	8	Sommelier (G) BT One-time useful sprinter for Marco Botti and took advantage of a much-reduced mark in this headgear when making all in 20-runner event at the Curragh in June. Heavy defeats on last 2 starts suggest h…	500004	Paddy Harnett K P Cotter	5	63.5kg	26 25/1
14th	2	25	Go Athletico (G) T Went close off similar marks at the Curragh and at Galway during the summer and has remained in form since, the race all but over by the time he hit top stride when 4¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Bear On …	560049	Adam Caffrey A McGuinness	8	63kg	9.50 17/2
6th	3	13	Real Encounter (F) P Opened her account at Dundalk (5f) in April but bettered that form when twice placed in handicaps at the Curragh in June, 3¼ lengths third of 14 to Midnight Dusk on latter occasion. Ran poorly in fir…	162306	Shane Foley Mrs J Harrington	3	62.1kg	9.50 17/2
1st	4	19	Tokyo Treasure (G) Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track when fourth in an extended 7f Roscommon handicap last time. Dropped 3 lb to the mark from which he was runner-up at Gowran, which is a plus, but he has to p…	8-72041	J M Sheridan P T Foley	4	61.7kg	12 11/1
12th	5	6	Fox In Flight (G) T Dundalk maiden winner who turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up in 5f handicap at this track in June. Has been more miss than hit since, though and arrives with a bit to prove after …	029590	Luke McAteer D Marnane	3	61.2kg	34 33/1
22th	6	4	Whiskey And Beer (G) Showed something in a Fairyhouse maiden on debut but well held next 2 starts. Unraced since and makes handicap debut for new yard.	80/0000	Wesley Joyce C Coakley	4	61.2kg	101 100/1
3rd	7	24	Jon Riggens (G) TV Ended long losing run in 9-runner event over C&D by short head from Alfred Tennyson when last seen at the beginning of June. Things went right that day but he remains well treated on old form.	671300	Ben Coen E Lynam	8	60.8kg	17 16/1
10th	8	7	Tornado Kiss (F) Landed 5f course maiden in 2025. Yet to fire in her 3 runs this season, 5¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Amiata in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good) back in June. Plenty more is required.	215-469	Andrew Slattery A Slattery	3	60.8kg	17 16/1
7th	9	12	Mehman (G) B On a long losing run but placed no fewer than 7 times this season. Not so good of late, though, never nearer when 5¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Sagasti at Roscommon last time.	005735	Gavin Ryan P J F Murphy	7	60.3kg	29 28/1
13th	10	14	Shadow Of The Moon (F) T Landed the odds in Down Royal maiden a year ago and easily best effort in handicaps this year when second of 6 at the same course in June. Found things tougher, though, when down the field at the Cur…	21-8020	Gary Carroll J Feane	4	60.3kg	15 14/1
8th	11	9	Sovereign Cry (G) Bounced back to form when gaining a first handicap success at Naas (5f) in July. Ran poorly at Navan last 2 starts though has at least dropped back down to his last winning mark. Likely to find this …	849980	Terry Casey Daniel Murphy	3	60.3kg	26 25/1
20th	12	16	Dawn Romance (F) Fairly useful 6f winner at 2yrs. Yet to fire this season, though has been given a chance by the handicapper and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye. One to note in the betting.	210-607	Colin Keane M O'Callaghan	3	59.9kg	17 16/1
4th	13	11	Gerrit's Gem (G) Boasts an excellent record at this course and looked to be working his way back to form when 4½ lengths third of 19 to Apothic Red at Curragh 11 days ago. Further 3 lb drop leaves him just 2 lb above…	703402	J Cleary J G Coogan	6	59.9kg	9.50 17/2
18th	14	1	Leveraging (G) PT Winner of a Dundalk maiden in December. Little impact in either start in handicaps this season, though possibly still needed the run last time. Has been dropped 7 lb but unlikely to be of much intere…	1-06075	Robbie Colgan S Lavery	3	59.9kg	34 33/1
19th	15	3	Grande Cuvee (F) FAV Has improved on each of her 4 starts to date, most recently when head second of 16 to Feel Happy in C&D maiden on latest. Very much the type to go on progressing now tackling a handicap. One to consi…	93220	Seamie Heffernan J A Stack	3	59.4kg	7.50 13/2
9th	16	15	Soulful Diva (F) Maiden winner who was back to form when 1¼ lengths second of 11 to Harry's Hill in 5f handicap at Curragh in August. Not seen to best effect at the Curragh last time and drop of 3lb looks generous. E…	4-69209	Nathan Crosse D Marnane	3	59.4kg	17 16/1
5th	17	22	All The Girls (F) P Won 7f maiden at Dundalk as a 2-y-o. Much improved from 7 lb out of the handicap when 1¾ lengths second of 12 to Dark Ace in 6f handicap at that course last time. Still unexposed and likely to go clo…	638254	James Ryan T G McCourt	3	59kg	9 8/1
—	18	21	My Cubby Bear (F) Mayson filly who was much improved from her debut when second of 11 in 6f maiden at Dundalk last year. Has a lengthy break to overcome on handicap debut.	628-23	Billy Lee H De Bromhead	3	59kg	26 25/1 Paddy… 17 Betfa… 17 Sky B… 15
11th	19	17	Send Harry (G) HT Made the frame in handicap at Leopardstown in June and minor event at Limerick in July. Below that form last 2 starts, failing to impress with his response to pressure last time.	495028	Jimmy Dalton Miss E McCutcheon	4	59kg	11 10/1
16th	20	5	Cashel Blue (F) P Made successful handicap debut at Down Royal (5f) in May and found another chunk of improvement in first-time cheekpieces when winning similar event at Navan 7 days ago. Has to prove her effectivenes…	135010	Reese Holohan K J Condon	3	58.1kg	15 14/1
17th	21	2	Venetian Star (G) Still a maiden but ran his best race when reeled in late in the day at Limerick (7f) in June. Took a step back in right direction when 2¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Solana Beach at Gowran last time but r…	050500	Ronan Whelan P T Foley	3	58.1kg	11 10/1
2nd	22	18	Nouvel Espoir (G) Took advantage of easing mark when winning at Down Royal in June. Has made the frame all 3 starts since, close third of 14 to Mint Man at the Curragh on latest.	322215	Shay Wallace J Barcoe	6	57.2kg	17 16/1
21th	23	20	Pinar Del Rio (G) P A 3-time winner who shaped quite well from reduced mark when 4 lengths seventh of 27 to Clonmacash at Curragh last time. Well handicapped but at his best when faced with testing conditions.	9-40570	Declan McDonogh A McIntyre	7	56.7kg	17 16/1
—	24	23	The Bear Trap (G) V Winner at Dundalk in December. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown on return but below form last time. Untrustworthy at best of times but interesting starting out for new yard. RESERVE.	1/50-409	Reserve 1 A McGuinness	5	55.8kg	51 50/1 Paddy… 17 Betfa… 17 Sky B… 17
—	25	10	Coincidental Glory (G) Dundalk nursery winner in December and has been largely consistent without winning this year. Met trouble when down the field at the Curragh 11 days ago but it's worth noting his best efforts have co…	403023	Reserve 2 A McGuinness	3	54.9kg	15 14/1 Paddy… 26 Betfa… 26 Sky B… 26
