A €28,000 three-year-old Stowaway gelding, he is the third of his trainer's in this contest. Eyecatching jockey booking, market best guide to separate the newcomers.

2/1
This Dalakhani gelding comes from a powerful yard, though trainer doesn't have many Bumper runners. Worth noting if support arrives.

Olden Times filly is a rare Bumper runner for this small yard and faces a stern challenge amongst a field of newcomers from some heavy-hitting stables.

Forecasts

Wadalani (2/1), Us And Them (11/4), Cornelius Sulla (11/4), Backintheboom (11/2), Clementina (7/1), High Tide (9/1), Sprung (33/1)

Verdict

A tough contest to assess given that Cornelius Sulla is the only one with prior racecourse experience. The standard isn't set overly high and so the newcomers may be holding the aces. Wadalani is a rare runner in the sphere for the Rosewell House team, so any support for him would be notable. The market is likely to sort out the trio of runners from the O'Brien squad but a tentative nod goes to HIGH TIDE. He is well-bred and has an excellent amateur on board. The same comments apply to Us And Them and the market ought to sort out preference. Clementina makes plenty appeal on paper too so any confidence in the filly would be a big positive in her favour.
