Verdict

RAGMANS CORNER should see out this longer trip and can follow up in a lesser-grade handicap than he usually contests. Gangster Granny can't be ruled out given her recent form over hurdles, with Boxing Great and Trubshaw leading the remaining dangers.

    Verdict
    Generally reliable sort who produced a career-best effort when winning 8-runner minor event at Killarney (17f, good) by head from Murat 14 days ago, responding well. Makes plenty of appeal in a lesser grade handicap than he usually contests.

    Has contested some very competitive races this season and proved at least as good as ever when getting off the mark for the year at Leopardstown at the beginning of last month, overcoming pace bias. Can go well again from the same mark.

    Resumed winning ways from an easing mark in 9-runner handicap at Killarney (14.4f, good) 14 days ago, unchallenged. Up 8 lb for that success and is entitled to be in the mix again providing the blinkers have the same effect.

    Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 19 in handicap (22/1) at Galway (16.5f, soft) in July. First-time blinkers go on here with the tongue strap discarded. Is now 5 lb lower than when third in this race last year but needs to show more.

    Fairly useful on Flat though has mixed between hurdling and chasing this year, winning over fences at Kilbeggan in July. Possibly found race coming too soon when pulled up at Galway last time. One to check in the market.

    Won when fitted with first-time blinkers at Killarney on the Flat last year and successful 3 times from 5 starts over hurdles all at Downpatrick since May. No reason to think she won't be competitive back on the level with the booking of Hayes in the saddle catching the eye.

    Verdict
    Fair hurdler/chaser who only made his Flat debut in July. 16/1, fifth of 8 on handicap debut at Tramore (2m, good to soft) 20 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Takes a significant ease in grade but still has a bit of work to do.

    Fairly useful all-weather winner for Ger Lyons and had initially made promising start over hurdles for this yard. Off 14 months, shaped as if retaining ability when third of 7 in handicap at this course (13f, good, 9/1) in July. Trying a marathon trip for the first time in this sphere.

    Made frame once from 2 Flat starts last season before ending the term out of sorts over hurdles for Richard John O'Brien. Shaped with more encouragement on return for new yard when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Killarney 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
