Runners Spotlight

R15
Rockbury Lad
Favorite

First reserve; won here over 1m1f on this card last year (off 60) and third career win came at Bellewstown in April; compromised by slow starts last two outings so caution advised.

Jockey: Trainer: M D O'Callaghan
R16
Brandon Creek

Second reserve; four runs for Jessica Harrington didn't offer much and hasn't counted in three handicaps; reduced mark but hard to fancy.

Jockey: Trainer: Gerard O'Leary
1
Dark Viper

Belatedly got off the mark over this trip at Leopardstown in March and couple of good runs since, notably clear with winner when beaten a head over 7f at Naas; six days later didn't really land a blow at Galway; can't be ruled out.

Jockey: Shane FoleyTrainer: Mrs John Harrington
2
Facethepuckout

Seven wins on turf up to 1m and in varying ground conditions; not at his best in four runs since winning at Limerick in June under today's rider so needs to bounce back; acts on soft to rain no issue.

Jockey: Colin KeaneTrainer: M D O'Callaghan
3
Neo Smart

Had a busy time of it in first half of season, best efforts over 7f at the Curragh, winning off 68 and good third in premier fillies' handicap; back to similar level at Navan last time, keen enough and ultimately outstayed by a 2.5l winner over a mile; this easy mile could suit.
