JUST JUMP gets a tentative vote. The selection has yet to race beyond 6f but has been placed twice at Dundalk including when third to Best Suggestion in a claiming maiden last Friday. Late Night Talking filled the runner-up spot in a 7f Dundalk maiden earlier this year and wasn't beaten far at the all-weather venue last time, but he's shown little on turf. All Told has been tried over a variety of trips and was noted staying on over 7f at Roscommon last time. Georg Zhukov filled the runner-up spot over this trip at Thurles last year but has been generally disappointing since both on the Flat and over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Just Jump 2nd All Told 3rd Late Night Talking

MOGWLI provided Megan Telford-Kelly with her first winner when gaining the latest of seven career wins at Gowran Park this spring and again went well for the apprentice when runner-up on his penultimate start at Punchestown, with Fleetfootsoldier back in fifth. The selection handles cut in the ground so the forecast rain shouldn't be a problem. Nibras Rainbow enters calculations on his second at Listowel last week, while Tartaraghan won over 1m2f at Navan in July and remains on a competitive mark. Master Garvey, Takeachancejimmy and Goldsmith are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mogwli 2nd Nibras Rainbow 3rd Tartaraghan

STILL SHE BLOOMS won over a similar trip at Killarney in July and again showed a liking for testing ground when beating all bar Dragon Of Malta (third reserve here) at Listowel last week, with Stormie Outlook about a length behind in fifth. Conditions could again be in her favour with plenty of rain forecast, while The Blue Panther rates a serious threat having overcome a lengthy absence to score in good style at Listowel, although a 9lb rise for that victory will make things a lot more difficult. Comfort Line had a number of these rivals behind when narrowly denied over 7f at Fairyhouse recently.
Prediction : 1st Still She Blooms 2nd The Blue Panther 3rd Comfort Line

This looks a nice opportunity for the Michael Grassick-trained GLORY TO BE to shed her maiden tag. Fourth at the Curragh on Sunday, the daughter of Cotai Glory has shown enough on five starts to suggest she has a race of this nature in her. Dropping back to the minimum trip and, with first time blinkers applied, she sets a fair standard. Despite being officially rated 1lb below Arklow Lad, she comfortably beat that colt when the pair met at the Curragh on her penultimate start. The latter looks the biggest danger nonetheless. Runner-up at Down Royal last time, the Kieran Cotter-trained son of Kuroshio has further scope for improvement. Miss Travers looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Glory To Be 2nd Arklow Lad 3rd Miss Travers

Trained locally by Eamon Delany, ESCAPING THEJUNGLE can add another course and distance win. Successful here on her latest start in August, the five-year-old mare can race off an identical mark. A speedy type, she is well drawn to make the running and will be suited by any further ease in the ground. It is surely significant that Colin Keane, who was on board last time, has remained loyal. Emerald Harmony, another that has shown decent form at this track, has to be a strong contender. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly showed that she was in peak form when narrowly going down at the Curragh last time. Others to note are Nezeeh and Kilmood Susan.
Prediction : 1st Escaping Thejungle 2nd Emerald Harmony 3rd Nezeeh

A strong finisher when fourth over an inadequate trip last time, DUKE OF LEGGAGH can resume winning ways. Twice successful over hurdles last winter, the Michael Mulvany-trained gelding remains well treated on the Flat off a mark of 69. Terry Casey, who was on board when the five-year-old won at Roscommon in May, gets a good tune out of the Tough As Nails offspring. Miss Australie has to be of interest on her stable debut for Ado McGuinness. Fourth at the Curragh on her final start for previous connections, the filly could have some scope off a 63-rating. Former course and distance winner Arch Enemy is another with decent claims under an in-form apprentice.
Prediction : 1st Duke Of Leggagh 2nd Miss Australie 3rd Arch Enemy

17:08 Bellewstown

Having only had the two career starts, the Jessica Harrington-trained LIFTING SAILS may have more scope than her main rivals. Runner-up on her debut at Limerick in July, the daughter of Raven's Pass went on to finish third at the Curragh on her next start. Bred to appreciate a test of stamina, she should be ideally suited to stepping up in trip here. With an official rating of 75, Kilcrea Rock sets the standard. Although somewhat disappointing to date this season, a reproduction of either of his two outings last term would almost certainly be good enough. Kasgani is also worthy of consideration despite looking somewhat limited on what he has shown in five starts thus far.
Prediction : 1st Lifting Sails 2nd Kilcrea Rock 3rd Kasgani
