Maiden hurdle winner on heavy ground at Navan in a first time tongue tie (retained since) in March and ran a career best effort on the Flat when finishing 5L second at Roscommon (good) last time. Likely to run well again here.

Finished fifth at Dundalk over 1m in December but well beaten at The Curragh over 1m2f subsequently. Interesting if repeating that debut effort.

Unraced gelded son of Equiano purchased for 8,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a couple of useful winners most notably Maid A Million and worth a check in the market on debut.

Improved on debut effort when finishing 2L third of 15 over 1m at Navan (good) on his seasonal debut in April. Looks likely to appreciate this step up in trip and one for the shortlist here.

Unraced gelded son of Famous Name cost €11,000 as a yearling. Dam an AW winner and placed at up to 1m4f and market support would be interesting on debut.

Failed to build on debut fourth when finishing sixth over 1m2f at Navan (good-to-firm) last month. Worth a check in the market on his third start in maiden company.

Beat just one rival home when wearing a tongue tie (retained) for his debut over 1m2f at Navan (good-to-firm) last month. Experienced trouble in running on that occasion and interesting to see how he fares in this.

Best effort in maiden company so far came when when sixth over 1m at The Curragh (good) last August. Unraced since and fitted with a hood for her seasonal debut today.

Forecasts

Mystic Traveller (11/10), Two For Tea (11/8), On The Go Again (5/2), Wooster (7/1), Lady Lambada (9/1), Spiral Galaxy (12/1), Gealach Ghorm (12/1), Gustavus Vassa (16/1), Name Dropper (25/1)

Verdict

ON THE GO AGAIN ran well when finishing runner-up last time out and he can take the concluding maiden. The selection was highly tried over hurdles having broken his maiden in that sphere in March and can get the better of Two For Tea who receives weight from all bar one of her rivals here with Mystic Traveller taken to fill the third spot.
  1. On The Go Again
  2. Two For Tea
  3. Mystic Traveller
