Beaten 4¾L when making his debut over 7f at Dundalk in January. Absent since and drops in trip for a yard with a 21% strike-rate recently (3/14).
Beaten 11L into third when making his debut over 7f at The Curragh (soft) in September last year and last of nine in a Listed event at Dundalk subsequently. This looks more realistic.

Unraced gelded son of Kodiac cost 30,000 gns as a yearling in 2015. Half-brother to winning miler Path Of Silver but others make more appeal here.

Not beaten far in two Naas maidens so far this year. Latest of those came when fourth of 17 over 6f on good-to-firm ground last time out and an interesting runner in this.

Placed twice from 14 outings with both of those efforts coming on a softer surface than she's likely to encounter here. Likely to find a few too good in this.

Verdict

RIBBONTAIL WAY ran well when finishing third over 7f at Limerick on good-to-firm going last time out. The selection attempted to make all on that occasion and has a decent draw in stall two here. Of her rivals here Shinko Princess has run well on a number of occasions in maiden company and can claim second ahead of Low Latency who takes a marked drop in grade here having contested a Listed event at Dundalk last time out and can claim third.
  1. Ribbontail Way
  2. Shinko Princess
  3. Low Latency
