FUTURE FRONTIER makes some appeal on his Bellewstown second over a mile last month and should be thereabouts if bouncing back from a moderate showing over this trip at Down Royal last time. In a race in which all of the others with a run to their name need to take a forward step to figure, Cul An Ti is worth a market check ahead of her racecourse bow. Burning Brightly is entitled to come on for his debut spin at Killarney and could also take a hand.

ALL CRAZY NOW needs to leave behind a disappointing 6f effort at Leopardstown last time in order to figure but is expected to improve for the return to 7f, over which he was third at Gowran in June. The fitting of a first-time visor entitles Dermot Weld's charge to improve further on her handicap debut. Bouquet Garni sports a new headgear combination on her handicap bow and has place claims along with Duck Egg Blue, who steps out of maidens and tackles 7f for the first time.

ORANGEY RED confirmed her earlier promise with an easy win over C&D back in May and, while this race is a lot more demanding, this daughter of Lawman makes plenty of appeal. On official ratings Fit For Function is closely matched with the selection at these weights and this gelding has taken a big step forward in his last couple of starts. An Saighdiur and Bubbly Bellini should also be thereabouts at the business end.

ALISHAN showed great signs of promise on his handicap debut in June and was motoring fast in the final strides when second to the progressive Qatari Hunter at the Curragh. The latter was deemed good enough to head for a Group 3 at Goodwood last week and that form looks to be the best on offer by quite a distance. Beechmount Whisper is a consistent type who looks likely to ensure a generous pace is set, while Reddot Roman has a bit of ground to make up on the selection but is considered nevertheless.

The recent deluge of rain won't be helpful to the cause of Immortal Bridge or Sea Swift and it might be worth taking a chance on MY BROTHER to build on a recent impressive victory and take this jump in class in his stride. The three-year-old claimed a weak race with ease here in June on soft ground and could provide Lee Smyth with an unlikely victory against the powerhouse stables of Aidan O' Brien and Dermot Weld.

An 11lb rise for her latest win at Killarney makes life a lot tougher for Sister Blandina, but this three-year-old filly is clearly progressive and she could have more to offer. That said, RINGSIDE HUMOUR was a close third in a very competitive contest at Galway last week and she looks to be a danger to all operating off the same mark. Lagostovegas was another to run well enough at Galway last week, while any market support for Soul Searcher on her stable debut would have to be noted.

BANFF has taken a big step forward since going handicapping and has looked to be a winner in waiting in his last couple of starts. Aa Bee See put in a career best when second over 1m3f at Wexford two starts ago and the son of Holy Roman Emperor was found out by the drop back in trip last time. Eight And Bob would have a big chance based upon his close fourth at Leopardstown in June.
