13:10 – Illinois

Solar Saving ran a big race in a Navan maiden on Wednesday and he sets the standard on form but it might be worth taking a chance on the well-bred newcomer ILLINOIS. He is a typically well bred sort from Ballydoyle who is the first-string on jockey bookings and the ground should be fine for this son of Galileo whose three brothers all handled an ease.

13:45 – Kitty Rose (NAP)

If handling this softer ground, KITTY ROSE (nap) can maintain her unbeaten record. Brilliant holds claims but looks vulnerable to less exposed and likely improvers such as Unreasonable and Foxtrot Zulu.

14:20 – Let Her Loose

Plenty in with claims but the British raider LET HER LOOSE arrives in good form with three wins since the start of August and she was only narrowly denied last month, suggesting she may still have more to come. The unexposed Van Demon has a workable mark for handicap debut and Golden Star is interesting on handicap debut.

14:55 – Slaney Swagger

Having handled softish conditions on his debut here last month SLANEY SWAGGER drops back in trip and under a likely positive ride could just be the one to side with in an ordinary maiden for the venue. Four Blondes, Many Thanks and Blame Thechampagne look the dangers on known form and newcomers to respect are Letherfly and the more stoutly-bred Next Trick.

15:30 – Pinafore

Bells On Her Toes holds the highest rating and comes here in good form but could just prove vulnerable back in trip to a progressive out and out sprinter such as PINAFORE who handled soft ground well at Nottingham recently. Aussie Girl rates a serious threat on her favoured ground, while the stablemate and last year’s second My Eyes Adore You is respected.

16:05 – Gustavus Weston

This looks like a strong renewal and a case can be made for most. The well handicapped GUSTAVUS WESTON might be the one to side with after shaping like a return to form was imminent on Wednesday and he may build on that. The form of Pop Star’s maiden win is working out nicely and he may have been let in lightly by the assessor here.

16:40 – Indigo Five

This can go the way of INDIGO FIVE who was first past the post before a disqualification last week when mistaken for the wrong horse. She won that race in good style and is less exposed than most so she ought to be in the mix here. Mowgli is a big threat if turned out again quickly and last year’s winner Loingseoir isn’t ruled out after promising run last time.

17:15 – Pinar Del Rio

Plenty with chances, the most obvious being recent Cork winner Run Forrest Run and the soft-ground specialist Magical Vision. However, value may be had in PINAR DEL RIO who looks nicely in on some of his best form, likes the ground, is well-drawn, and has an in-form claimer aboard. Spirit Of Eagles should go well if seeing this trip out.
