Maiden winner at Leopardstown in June 2016 (1m good), but expensive to follow since then, admittedly mixing it at Group level against the likes of Churchill and Capri. Finished a couple of places ahead of Sir Edwin Landseer when third to Tilly's Chilli at Navan in June and 12L second of five to Khudha a month ago.

Forecasts

Eagle Spirit (9/2), Claregate Street (11/2), Serefeli (7/1), Archer's Up (7/1), Slaney Street (8/1), Roibeard (9/1), The Invisible Dog (9/1), Mandarin Monarch (9/1), Shamad (10/1), Shes An Art (11/1), Camellia Japonica (16/1), Sharjah (16/1), So Sensible (16/1), Nevsky (16/1), Evie Be Kool (33/1), Birthplace (33/1), Logarithm (150/1), Dysios (200/1), King Of Aran (200/1)

Verdict

Plenty of pace on here with any of Sharjah, Birthplace, Slaney Street, Dysios (reserve) or ROIBEARD, willing to make the running in the past. The selection was second of eight beaten 3½L at Limerick on good to firm over 1m3½f, last time out. Slaney Street, second of 19, 1½L behind Zeftan at Curragh on Friday, and Claregate Street who will be doing some late work, are taken to grab a place.
