70 Expert View: Closer to best, but no match for easy winner when second beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Fairyhouse latest; off a short-break; effective 10-14f, acts with cut and on good; plenty more needed back down in trip.

75 Expert View: Returned to form back up in trip, opened account landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective 8f, should get further, suited by cut, acts on good and AW; did it easily latest, but needs more to follow up off this tougher mark and up in class.
Form Snapshot: Won on his latest outing when 5-1co-fav at Cork over 1m (yielding) last month, beating Cause I Like You by 3 1/2l.
77 Expert View: Ran to the balance of form stepped up in trip, but well held beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Galway last time; top course trainer; effective up to an extended mile, could get further, acts on any; should improve making another step up in trip.
Form Snapshot: Placed twice in six starts. Beaten 3 1/2l by Aquilla Star when second of 14 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Galway over 1m (soft) earlier this month.
69 Expert View: Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Killarney last time; effective 7/8f, seems to act on soft and good; generally consistent since handicapping, chance again up in trip but becoming expensive to follow.

70 Expert View: Much below form, all but pulled up down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; off a short-break; effective over an extended 9f, acts on yielding, yet to perform on anything more testing; needs to bounce back, but mark could be tough.
Form Snapshot: Placed once in five starts. Well beaten at 5-2jt-fav behind Teologia when last of 10 on his latest outing at Down Royal over 1m 2f (soft) in June.
71 Expert View: Short of room when closing, ran to form beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; effective 8f, acts on any ground; in fair form, on a competitive mark, could go close again.
Form Snapshot: Placed once in 11 starts. Finished 2 1/2l behind Java Wood when fourth of 15 at 13-2 on his latest outing here over 1m (yielding) earlier this month.
67 Expert View: Below form again down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; usually held up; effective 10f, suited by cut, acts on a sound surface; had dropped to 2lb below last winning mark, could bounce back if at best.
Form Snapshot: He has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f on good and soft ground. Beaten 12l behind Millhone at 33-1 when 9th of 21 on his latest outing at Navan over 1m 2f (good) earlier this month.
MAKE THE TIDE has taken a few months to show worthwhile form, but has turned the tide in recent outings and being a lightly-raced three-year-old, can continue to progress. She was well supported when scoring readily at Navan and while beaten under a 7lb fixed penalty three days later, that race is already working out very well. Sunrise Angel has been raised 9lb for his recent ready success at Cork, but is also a progressive three-year-old. Hassaniya finished second off this mark at Punchestown just four days ago, while Maeve Brennan, Moyassr and Cladach each have solid recent form.
CLADACH ran to the balance of his overall profile when runner-up by roughly three lengths over an extended 8f at Galway last time and should have more to come now stepping up another furlong, so he can go well as he seeks a first success for Joseph O'Brien. Chirac has been generally consistent since going handicapping, including a course success over 7f in the spring, and was better than the bare result when beaten three lengths at Killarney last time. Despite becoming somewhat expensive to follow as a beaten favourite his last four outings, he can go well making this up in trip. Cosmic Funk was short of room when staying on over a mile at this track last time and, on a competitive mark, can go close again up in distance.
