2nd	1	15	Granville Street (G) P Dual-purpose performer who went close off this mark in a big field at Navan in the spring. Ran creditably when third behind Glittering Gem in a similar event at Thurles (16.5f) on latest start and no…	548032	Keithen Kennedy Ciaran Murphy	8	63.5kg	19 18/1
11th	2	18	Miss Australie (M) Back to something like her very best to pick up a second career victory at Navan in August (1¾m). Same good-value claimer back aboard here, however, she was again held back by her slow starting ways …	134260	Sam Coen A McGuinness	5	63kg	12 11/1
5th	3	24	Glittering Gem (F) Low-mileage 4-y-o from a good family. Showed improved form upped in trip when runner-up at Thurles (16.5f) 7 days ago, doing well considering how keen she was early on. A strongly-run 1¾m could be ri…	324025	Chris Hayes D K Weld	4	62.6kg	15 14/1
17th	4	16	Kaleo Ametsa (M) T Dual-purpose mare. Again ran to a fair level when 4¾ lengths sixth of 13 on qualifying run at Gowran (1¾m) last time. Opening mark demands a fair bit more, though.	/-5360	Jimmy Dalton J Halley	6	62.6kg	29 28/1
—	5	6	Tatum (M) P Off the mark for the season at Leopardstown (15f) in July. Best run since when beaten 10½ lengths behind a couple of today's rivals at Thurles last time. Races off same mark but first-time cheekpiece…	531005	Colin Keane N Meade	5	62.6kg	26 25/1 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 19 Sky B… 19
20th	6	21	Harry's Legacy (G) PT Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. First-time cheekpieces didn't spark improvement at Leopardstown (13f, good) on latest start in August. Now drops in grade in bid to capitalise on his slipping mar…	320509	Donagh O'Connor R O'Sullivan	8	62.1kg	81 80/1
12th	7	2	Alfalfa (G) Hold-up type who won a soft-ground handicap here (1½m) last autumn. Ran well to finish third in this year's renewal of the race earlier this month. Should stay this longer trip and looks to have plen…	5410-63	Billy Lee T Doyle	8	61.2kg	12 11/1
6th	8	14	Paradise Lost (G) Fair sort who posted a laboured display when fifth in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap over this trip in June. Looked to have returned in form when filling the same position over jumps at Gowran earli…	12/90-55	Julian Pietropaolo C O'Brien	7	61.2kg	15 14/1
13th	9	11	Battling Siki (G) Low-mileage 4-y-o. Unsuited by the drop in trip when 5 lengths third in a claimer at Ballinrobe (9.5f) on final start for Mark Fahey in July. Now switched to handicap/longer trip by new handler and i…	459330	Patrick McGettigan Peter Fahey	4	60.8kg	67 66/1
16th	10	23	Medadthebookie (G) Lightly raced for his age. Finished closer than previously when beaten 7¼ lengths in a similar event on handicap bow at Listowel last time. A 1 lb reprieve probably isn't enough, though.	6606	Tom Buckley E Buckley	6	60.8kg	81 80/1
21th	11	4	Miss Gitana (M) T Won 2m Tramore handicap for Gordon Elliott last summer. Matched that form with placed efforts (including in better event at Tramore) this summer, however, looks to have gone off the boil more recentl…	206080	Rory Mulligan Joseph Murray	5	60.3kg	67 66/1
4th	12	20	Galileo Springs (M) T Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. Brought along quietly in maidens in this sphere, not given hard time when down the field on qualifying run at Listowel (1½m, good to soft) latest. Open to improveme…	677	Leigh Roche M Brassil	6	59.9kg	26 25/1
7th	13	19	Gallo Dell Cielo (G) Strong traveller who capitalised on his much lower turf mark when a wide-margin winner at Tramore on return in August. Shaped as though still on a handy mark when runner-up at Clonmel (17f, good) las…	1-15127	Robyn Donaghue-Leahy P J Flynn	6	59.9kg	17 16/1
10th	14	1	Grann's Boy (G) P Useful hurdler whose record in handicaps on soft/heavy on the level reads 2312. Has proved better than ever for the addition of cheekpieces over hurdles of late (now on for first time in this sphere)…	260-912	Adam Caffrey H Rogers	6	59.9kg	5 4/1
3rd	15	3	It's Good To Talk (G) Runner-up in bumper on debut over the winter. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eighth of 18 on handicap debut at this course (1¼m, heavy, 33/1). Needs a close look in the betting now …	00008	Seamie Heffernan E Mullins	5	59.9kg	17 16/1
14th	16	22	Preparations (M) Overcame mid-race interference to capitalise on a significantly reduced mark at Tramore in August. Found life tougher in couple of starts off higher marks since and opposable for all her yard remains…	061570	Feenagh Moran A Slattery	5	59.4kg	41 40/1
1st	17	12	Priorstown (G) FAV P Showed much improved form in first-time cheekpieces/upped in distance when landing big-field handicap at Roscommon. Ran at least as well in defeat with a second at Listowel (1½m, good to soft). Headg…	607012	Ben Coen J P Murtagh	3	59kg	3.50 5/2
18th	18	17	Tanzanite Diamond (G) T Fair maiden who's hit the frame in a pair of 3-y-o handicaps at Listowel/Killarney recently. Will need to improve for step up in trip/refitting of a tongue tie now back against his elders, though.	450844	Shane Foley A McGuinness	3	58.5kg	21 20/1
15th	19	9	My First Rose (F) Yard has had success with this family. No impact in trio of maiden starts (1m/1¼m). On a lowly mark given her pedigree and switch to handicap/longer trip may well see her in a better light. Stable jo…	7680	Paddy Harnett D K Weld	3	57.6kg	34 33/1
19th	20	13	Nicky Larson (G) Shaped promisingly on first of 2 handicaps starts over 1m earlier this year. Since progressed for switch to hurdles, running to a borderline fairly useful level when completing a double at Down Royal…	311	Dylan Browne McMonagle P Nolan	3	57.6kg	6.50 11/2
8th	21	8	Flagstone Lady (F) Strong in the betting/confirmed previous promise when getting off the mark at Down Royal (13f, good). Again ran well despite racing freely when third at same track (11f) subsequently. Has the potenti…	608313	Reese Holohan M O'Callaghan	3	56.2kg	11 10/1
—	22	10	Omakase (M) Consistent Flat performer. Well treated on form in staying handicaps last year. Sure to have needed the run when falling on hurdling debut (following 16 months away) at Listowel last month. Dangerous…	7/13513-	Reserve 1 P G Fahey	8	58.1kg	11 10/1 Paddy… 26 Betfa… 26 Sky B… 23
9th	23	5	Miss Crinshawn (F) Ran no sort of race in first-time cheekpieces at Gowran (9.5f, soft). Hadn't been in top form prior to that, either, and hard to be confident the step back up in trip will spark a revival. RESERVE.	437009	Luke McAteer Peter Fahey	4	56.7kg	51 50/1
—	24	7	Crosshaven (G) Lightly-raced maiden. Couldn't build on the minor promise of his handicap debut at Gowran (1m) latest. Now steps up significantly in trip and there's no shortage of stamina in his pedigree. RESERVE.	07-070	Reserve 3 J J Murphy	4	54.9kg	51 50/1 Paddy… 34 Betfa… 34 Sky B… 34
