Best effort to date came over 7f at Cork last month when second behind Treaty Of Vienna. Another fair run since at Leopardstown in competitive contest but flopped last time at Naas when missing the break. Chance if willing to forgive that indiscretion.

Steady if unspectacular improvement in three starts to date, finished 5½L second in similar contest at Roscommon a fortnight ago and has fair claims on the strength of that.

Dragon Pulse gelding was well beaten last month on debut at Leopardstown and ran as if something was amiss on Sunday at Gowran Park (1m1f, good). Hard to fancy on the quick back up.

Failed to trouble the judge in eight starts so far, showing no real signs of progression lately. Makes little appeal at the moment.

Very poor in two maidens last summer at up to 1m and was again beaten more than 10L on reappearance over 1m3f (good to firm) at Limerick just four days ago. Plenty more needed.

Knocking on the door in similar contests at Fairyhouse and Roscommon early this month, has to be respected once again on the strength of those efforts.

Has often played up at the start and problems exiting the gates invariably leave him with plenty to do. Noted staying on from well off the pace last time and that effort gives him plenty to find with some of these.

Forecasts

Cul An Ti (9/4), Tenth Amendment (7/2), Machine Head (7/2), Sonic Wind (6/1), Blue Book (6/1), All The Mollies (13/2), Kupa River (8/1), Markus Twain (10/1), Jack Baur (25/1)

Verdict

Cul An Ti has been there or thereabouts in similar company lately and should again be on the premises while Tenth Amendment also had a couple of credible efforts before flopping at Naas and can easily be factored in if willing to forgive that run. Machine Head went well in one of these at Roscommon recently but BLUE BOOK perhaps has claims as good as any. She was close in third at Cork over 1m½f nine days ago and that run looks decent give the winner has since dotted up off a 5lb higher mark. The trainer's recently lull (2/42) is a concern but the filly may be up to the job.
