Royal County Handicap

Cost 75,000 gns, he has made good progress so far - won his maiden by 5l at Roscommon but was out of his depth in a Group 3 last time. This is more realistic and one to consider with the ground to suit.

Going the right way and is bred to be effective over this trip. Yard in good form, so worth a check in the betting.

Just a modest maiden win to his name and has bit to prove. Step up trip may help but looks on a stiff mark for what he has achieved so far.

Won his first two starts well but has a bit to find with Escape Clause from last time out over a mile at this course. Today's extra two furlongs will push him into the unknown, so difficult to assess. Best watched.

Been expensive to follow since he won his maiden at Leopardstown last summer. He should cope with this step up in trip, however, and may be find some improvement. Dangerous to underestimate.

Cost 75,000 gns and has plenty of winners in her pedigree. Showed she has inherited the will to win after two smart performances at The Curragh and over 7f at this course. More to do in this company but she is a willing partner for Kevin Manning to look forward to and another bold attemtp looks assured.

Finished second in his last two starts and has had his limitations exposed. The market will be a more solid account but looks to the stable's second string on the form in the book.

Too good for Remember The Days last time out and looks progressive enough to confirm her superiority. She has improved greatly since switched to turf and holds solid place claims at least in this company.

Showed flashes of ability when with Aidan O'Brien but backtracked on his debut for his new yard last time out. Feasible that he may have need the outing but has a bit to prove and may be best watched over this new distance on his handicap debut.

Has a bit to find with a couple of these after his reappearance effort. That was also his first start since being gelded, so possible he may have needed the outing. But still one to be wary of just now.
