LEDECKY looks sure to come on from her debut fifth at Galway, especially as she finished that race out well in the closing stages. There is plenty to like about her on paper, being by Wootton Bassett out of a Group 3-placed mare. Marazion sets the standard with a rating of 83 and hasn't been running badly in rated races, so has to be respected. Frankel filly Matrice is trip-versatile and likes to race prominently, while Monntie didn't build upon an opening fourth at Navan when finishing last in Limerick but there is still time for her to show more.
This looks a clear match race between Marazion and LEDECKY. The former sets the standard on ratings on her penultimate effort but she failed to convince with her stamina when upped to 12f so the latter is preferred. She met trouble at a key stage when midfield in a much better race at Galway and is likely to improve with a clear passage here. If doing so she will be tough to beat.
Ran roughly to debut form when comfortably held in a bumper over 2m at Ballinrobe last time; off a short break; showed little in bumpers.

KINGSTONIAN was very easy to back over this trip in a Curragh maiden, but kept on for fourth and the form was franked when the fifth came out and won at the Galway Festival. Dream On Baby is making her debut on the Flat but has some eyecatching hurdling form, notably when runner-up in a Grade 3 mares' novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse in January. A staying maiden on the Flat ought to be within her compass this season. So Golden is a nicely-bred sort who showed up well when beaten a length into second on debut at Ballinrobe. Sea The Stars gelding Kasgani is a potential improver in this company.
SO GOLDEN was only beaten by a classy hurdler on his flat debut and could be tough to peg back at this sharp track if ridden similarly aggressively. She is open to progress and can defeat Kingstonian who has been inconsistent in his short career. However he has shown a good level of form and is proven with some ease in the ground. Dream On Baby placed at Graded level over hurdles last term and is also of interest for a shrewd yard on her flat debut.

Galaxy Wonder availed of a good front-running ride from Nicola Burns to make the breakthrough over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe. The concern is that any time he has raced over further, he hasn't troubled the judge. Several of these have yet to prove their stamina over this distance so it may be best to side with ENZIYA, who was placed in Roscommon before delivering over an extended 1m3f at Limerick in June. Boyne Valley finished second behind Galaxy Wonder in Ballinrobe and she is in the running for another cheque.
Galaxy Wonder is likely to prove popular on his follow up attempt with the sharp track likely to suit given the aggressive tactics his jockey employs. However he may be vulnerable to a stronger stayer and ENZIYA fits the bill. He overcame a slow start when a 12f winner earlier in the summer and wasn't disgraced in a better race last time. The favourite should give him a strong pace to aim at and he will be tough to beat back on a sound surface. Midnight Stagger will also appreciate this quicker surface and can fight for a place if her stamina holds up over the longer trip.
Ran to form when stepped up in grade, comfortably held in a maiden at Galway last time; generally out of form. Effective from 10f to 12f on good or soft ground and could be well treated back in a handicap.

STEPDANCE is hard to get away from in her bid for a hat-trick. She began her winning spree over C&D last month and followed up four days later under the mandatory 7lb penalty at Limerick. She has been freshened up since then and, despite the handicapper having his say, is very much the one to beat. Captain Hanley stepped up to an extended 1m4f on his first start for Eamonn O'Connell in Tipperary and finished a never-nearer fifth. He should improve upon that performance as it was in a higher grade. Highway Sixty One competes off bottom weight and has form over this sort of trip to give him a chance.
Stepdance is likely to prove popular in her hat trick bid given she remains well treated on her maiden form but she could be vulnerable to the bottom weight HIGHWAY SIXTY ONE. He remains a maiden but shaped with plenty of promise on his flat return when midfield in a race which has worked out very well. This slight drop back in trip will help and with the assistance of a good claimer she is fancied to get off the mark. At the other end of the weights another maiden Gotta Catch'em All is also of some interest. He ran well in a hot maiden last time and looks on a fair mark returned to handicaps judged on his autumn form.
Needed the run when down the field in a 10f handicap at Leopardstown last time; generally out of form. Tongue-tie first time and off a short break; should come on for reappearance and could improve on stable debut.

This revolves around TOUNSIVATOR, who is having just his second race on the Flat in Ireland. He has been very solid for Willie Mullins in the NH sphere in winning three times, including the Royal Bond. He was last seen finishing fourth in the Galway Hurdle at the end of last month and is a fascinating runner off a mark of 78 in this handicap. Expound was prominent for a long way over hurdles in Tramore on Thursday before dropping to third and has plenty of form on the Flat to call upon. Gracesolution generally runs her race and won over this trip at Dundalk in March.
Useful hurdler TOUNSIVATOR was successful at Graded level last seen in that sphere and could outclass his rivals on his flat return. He is rated 60lb higher over hurdles and was twice a winner in this sphere when trained in France so is entitled to be thereabouts for a top jumps yard. Consistent dual purpose performer Expound is feared most with the potential for further improvement now upped in trip. He was a hurdles winner at this tight track last year and can chase the selection home ahead of Gracesolution who has been running well of late over middle distances. The drying ground is in her favour on her handicap return.
Scored by 3l off 84 over 12f here on her penultimate start; made too much use of up in trip and did not get home when sixth, beaten 12l off 88 last time; effective 10-12f but unproven over further; looks on a stiff mark.
Has won eight races from 6f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to yielding and on the all-weather. Finished 12l behind Mo Ghille Mar when last of 6 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Down Royal over 1m 5f (good) last month.

Runner-up when sent off market leader for a handicap at Galway, SHODA can recover those losses. A maiden winner at the corresponding Festival 12 months prior, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly has been lightly raced in the interim. Given her proven ability to stay two miles with an ease in the ground, the four-year-old looks the one to beat. A Flat winner in France as a three-year-old, Highwind struck over hurdles on his debut for Willie Mullins. Although yet to replicate that success, the gelding shouldn't be written off by any means. The in-foal Curious Bride is worth another chance having been hampered early on when disappointing at Leopardstown recently.
The steadily progressive SHODA is the selection here despite a 5lb rise for her recent defeat. That came in a much better race and she remains unexposed over staying trips unlike most of her rivals here. She can confirm recent form with Harry's Legacy who hasn't won in 3 years but should come on for that flat reappearance and was in good form over hurdles prior to that. Another pair of dual purpose performers Action Plan and Ephesus can compete for the final place.
Had too much to do after blowing the start when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap over 1m5f at Tipperary last time; usually held up; inconsistent dual-purpose veteran who likely needs this return to 2m on the Flat.
He has won four times from 1m 4f to 2m on ground varying from good to soft - heavy, but last win was over three years ago; has also won a hurdle. Beaten 8l behind Ms Messi at 40-1 when eighth of 12 on his latest outing at Tipperary over 1m 4f (good) earlier this month.

An impressive winner over hurdles at Killarney recently, SWELLTIME looks well treated back on the Flat. Following another solid effort when third at Kilbeggan subsequently, the nine-year-old is now rated 105 over flights. From a mark of just 42 on the level, the two-time Flat winner should be capable of adding to that tally. Making much of the running to score at the Kerry venue, he should be ideally suited to this tight track, which favours those racing up with the pace. Tramore Derby runner-up Spinning Web is another with every chance. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Mags Mullins-trained gelding ran very well behind a subsequent winner. Duke Otto could improve for first-time cheekpieces.
An open race where it may be worth taking a chance with SWELLTIME who has been in fantastic form over hurdles recently and is potentially thrown in on his flat return. He finished runner up in this a few years ago and races off a lower mark here. The consistent but frustrating mare Dumb Love is expected to throw down the biggest challenge but her strike rate is a worry. Spinning Web won twice over fences this year and was only narrowly denied over C&D on his last flat run so is also expected to remain competitive.
