Punchestown Jumps Opener October 13th Handicap

M J Drapac
Successful on second of 2 starts in maidens for Jarlath P. Fahey at Limerick (7f) in June and further progress when second on yard/handicap debut at Galway (7f) 7 weeks ago. That form looks solid and her mark looks an exploitable one with more to come. Back over 1m.

Eight Star Syndicate
Ran well once more when second of 13 to Cala Bonita in handicap at Galway (8.5f) and confirmed he's in top form when running on to fill the frame again at Navan 2 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb so clearly weighted to go very well.

Muchos Amigos Syndicate
Confirmed the promise of his previous run when landing a gamble at Killarney in July. Very much had the run of the race that day and 8 lb rise proved beyond him at Galway. This is an easier race on the back of a modest hurdles effort.

P Sweeney
Yet to score this term but figures off a handy mark and returned to form when creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Galway (1½m, good) 45 days ago, well positioned. Significantly back down in trip, which could be an issue.

Khalifa Bin Obood Al Falasi
Form has an in-and-out look to it, but she proved more straightforward than she has at times when second of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) in July and she knuckled down well to go one place better over 7.5f at Roscommon 4 weeks ago. Task is to back that up in what is a deeper race.

Dooley Thoroughbreds
Largely running well without winning this season and was quickly back to form when fourth at Laytown on Thursday. New headgear on but he is vulnerable to improvers.

Moyglare Stud Farm
Left debut behind to win maiden at Gowran on return in June but not in same form back on softer going when well held on handicap bow at the Galway Festival 7 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on and while she's unexposed, she needs to raise her game to defy this mark.

Ms Amanda Torrens
Useful form when winning first 2 starts in 2024. Hasn't been at that level since but has shaped with a bit more encouragement of late, ridden more prominently when third both starts this summer, collared only close home at Dundalk. One to consider back down in trip.

Readsland Racing
Better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m) in July. Failed to repeat that effort from a 7 lb higher mark at Gowran, though a bit more like it when third to Sonoran at Navan 2 weeks ago given he was briefly short of room.

Qatar Racing Limited
Beat a subsequent winner on debut at Doncaster last summer. Better form in defeat when shaping up well up against a useful one in a match race at Yarmouth in October. May have just needed the run at Sandown in June on final start for James Ferguson and has made the switch to successful Irish yard.

Mrs Brenda Byrne
Resumed from 9 months off with success in 16-runner handicap over 1m at Leopardstown in June. Seemed anchored by 6 lb rise over the same C&D a month later and with cheekpieces back on, he made little impression at Galway last time.

Hassaniya Partnership
Encouraging fourth on second of 3 starts in maidens at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in March. Matched that form when third in 2 handicaps after and heavy defeat at Galway isn't a race to judge him too harshly on given his poor draw. Since been gelded.

D Farrington
Off the mark at the Curragh (6f) on fourth and final start last year. Stepped forward from this season's reappearance when second of 8 in 7f handicap at Naas but disappointing on both outings subsequently. Hopes pinned on step back up in distance.
