Devil's Angel

Jockey: J M Sheridan Trainer: Raymond Hurley Age/Wt: 9/10-3 F: 014057 OR: 59

11/4

Comment: Nine-time winner scored at Navan (6f, good) in May off 60, his first win since 2022 and his fifth on turf; weighted to confirm recent Curragh form with American In Paris; trainer is back in business after 12 years without a Flat runner and saddled a 33-1 winner at Tipperary on Sunday.

10/3

Comment: Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check.

Jockey: R Whearty Trainer: Paul W Flynn Age/Wt: 5/10-3 F: 321980 OR: 48

5/1

Comment: Down the field in three races since 6f win at Naas in July; has been reasonably consistent; her win (the fourth of her career) was prefaced by two placed efforts, and she has had plenty of horses behind in big-field handicaps on several occasions; others better suited by the race conditions.

Lismacbryan Hill

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: Patrick Magee Age/Wt: 4/10-3 F: 983596 OR: 41

6/1

Comment: Still a maiden after 16 races and hasn't built on encouraging form in the spring, notably when third in a 27-runner handicap over this trip at the Curragh; has run creditably in large-field handicaps lately and has Colin Keane's assistance; however, she meets several key rivals on unfavourable terms.

Comment: Won a 7f Brighton nursery for Richard Hannon in 2018 when rated 67; a prolific winner at Les Landes since joining Karl Kukk; won four in a row in 2021 and three in row in 2022; back in winning groove this year, 3-8, never out of the first three; trip and surface should be fine; very hard to assess the quality of the form; well treated in theory; positive jockey booking.

25/1

Comment: Surface should not be a problem since he is a three-time Dundalk winner; however, he has slumped in the ratings and in any case is essentially a middle-distance performer; placed over 1m4f at Bellewstown three starts back, this trip is likely to be inadequate.

Jered Maddox

Jockey: Mr F Maguire Trainer: David Marnane Age/Wt: 9/12-0 F: 190000 OR: 70

5/2

Comment: Winner of 12 of his 79 starts; has a fine record at Dundalk and is unbeaten in two visits to the beach; won off 70 here in 2023 (same mark as now) and 71 last year; won off 82 in Dundalk in March; recent turf form is unconvincing; could be a different proposition on this surface.

Clonmacash

Jockey: Mr O McGill Trainer: Adrian McGuinness Age/Wt: 4/12-0 F: 376421 OR: 70

3/1

Comment: Three wins on the AW; belatedly opened his account on turf (at 21st attempt) when getting up to land a 5f handicap at the Curragh 12 days ago; has been raised 8lb for that; however, perhaps more relevant is that he is 6lb lower than when second at Dundalk in April on his most recent AW start; holds a leading chance.

Comment: Maiden hurdle winner in April and held his form well over jumps since; well held in a Leopardstown handicap (1m4f) on only Flat outing this season but has major claims on his Flat form for Johnny Murtagh in 2024, particularly his narrow defeat over 1m1f; 7f will be on the sharp side but has the best Flat form on offer.

Comment: Has shown promise in maiden company and came on from his low-key reappearance outing when beaten a head in a Killarney maiden in July, just caught late; that form has been knocked since but he's usually ridden prominently and that usually helps at this track; one to consider with Keane retaining the ride.

Comment: Won the maiden on this card last year over this trip; has gone close on several occasions since but has lost his way a little more recently; feasibly treated if the return to this venue sparks a revival.

6/1

Comment: Losing run goes back a year to a Cork success over this trip but has hit the frame in her last couple of handicap starts and 9lb lower than her last winning mark; return to 7f is fine and should be in the mix if she handles the surface.

Comment: 4-time AW winner over 7f; narrow defeat at Dundalk in February after a promising winter on AW without winning; only beaten a length on his penultimate outing but didn't build on that at Cork (1m) three weeks ago; could go well if he takes to the surface having come a long way down the weights.

Comment: Came in for market support when runner-up in a 15-runner Bellewstown handicap last week; shaped like drop back to 7f would suit and warrants respect despite 3lb rise given that it's still early days for his yard.
