Formscan By John O'Riordan - HARRY THE ROGUE can continue the excellent recent form of trainer Andrew Slattery. Fifth in a big field at Leopardstown last time, the gelding had been ultra consistent prior to that slightly below par run. Just touched off over this course and distance in May, the four-year-old has been a real improver in handicaps this season. Sam Coen, who has been in the saddle for both career wins, takes off a valuable 7lb once more. Shoot To Kill, who just about comes out best at the weights, shouldn't be far away. Runner-up in similar company at Killarney recently, the eight-year-old is smart on his day. Ballinrobe winner Bucaneer's Spirit has to be of interest on his debut for new connections.
For three years old and upwards to be claimed for #20,000 or less (Minimum claiming price #7,000) (also open to horses which are not to be claimed) (horses which are entered not to be claimed must, at entry, have run at least twice and be rated 75 or less)
Weights - 3-y-o 9st 9lbs 4-y-o and up 10st 2lbs
