Met trouble in running in a handicap last time, a leading contender on previous Naas form
2 (11)	Gutsy Girl b J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	129	—	463724	99	115	99	41d	—	—	+8	20	6/1 14%
Comes into the reckoning now following solid displays at Cork and Naas in August
14 (1)	Sparkling Sea b J:Gary Carroll T:G M Lyons	J:Gary Carroll T:G M Lyons	128	—	-03700	92	103	73	20d	—	—	+3	14.7	6/1 14%
Down the field in two handicap runs, appears well held by Clara Ridge on Naas running

Promoted 6lb for last week's 5f course handicap win, hard to be confident at this level

Fair form at 7f, has never run in a sprint, yard's older runner Gutsy Girl looks superior
4 (18)	Navassa Island b J:Jamie Powell T:M D O'Callaghan	J:Jamie Powell T:M D O'Callaghan	129	b	-50490	92	108	80	34d	—	—	+5	12.6	11/1 8%

Useful form in handicaps, will need a career-best to make her presence felt in this grade
13 (3)	Smiling ch J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	128	b	72-551	85	99	72	5d	—	—	0	12.4	12/1 8%
Rated a modest 72 before a wide-margin Down Royal win, further progress needed, blinkered
8 (10)	Charasson b J:Shane Foley T:John James Feane	J:Shane Foley T:John James Feane	128	—	6156	89	101	75	7d	—	—	+11	16.4	18/1 5%
Promising fifth at Naas in July, may struggle to reverse form with runner-up Carla Ridge
1 (17)	Germanese ch J:W J Lee T:W McCreery	J:W J Lee T:W McCreery	129	—	5-150	92	104	85	34d	—	—	+6	12.2	20/1 5%
Fair fifth in a Listed race at Galway on only her third start, had an excuse at Tipperary
12 (9)	Mademoiselle b J:James Ryan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:James Ryan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	128	—	1-2031	89	104	96	18d	—	—	+13	18.4	16/1 6%
Narrow winner over 6f at Yarmouth on first attempt beyond 5f, will need to raise her game
17 (4)	Varshini ch J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	128	—	5-1850	78	95	76	20d	—	—	+4	8.2	25/1 4%
Handled heavily ground when winning a 7f maiden in the spring, this looks highly ambitious
3 (6)	Little Queenie gr J:Robert Whearty T:Paul W Flynn	J:Robert Whearty T:Paul W Flynn	129	—	275516	89	106	94	28d	—	—	+14	17.8	25/1 4%
Winner of seven races, currently rated 10lb below her career-high, others much preferred
9 (13)	Easy Mover b J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	128	tb	863470	93	105	81	14d	—	—	+9	12.5	33/1 3%
Out of her depth in Group 3 races over further on last two starts, drop in trip may help
7 (7)	Carolina Jetstream b J:Leigh Roche T:Adrian Murray	J:Leigh Roche T:Adrian Murray	128	—	341-14	88	104	58	168d	—	—	+7	10.3	50/1 2%
Both wins have come at Dundalk, this trip looks inadequate, soft ground not ideal either
