Close second in maidens at Naas (7f, good to firm) and Tipperary (7½f, good) to start this term but comes here on the back of a flop at Bellewstown last week over the mile.

High Chaparral gelding comes to the track for the first time, yard without a winner over previous 12 months so looks best watched unless money is down.

Gelding out of Pour Moi, was held in four maidens last year and not seen since October. Out of respected yard and suggestion is to watch market in search of clues.

Much better on second start over 7f at Naas (yielding) late last month, going just over 3L. May improve again here and be in the shake-up.

7/2
Has run well in three maidens so far, marginally ahead of Uno Momento at Naas last time out, has scope for more and goes on the shortlist.

Not shown a lot in two maidens so far at Dundalk (5f, AW) and Navan (6f, good) but this longer trip should in his favour as he looks to improve.

Beaten 2½L over 6f at Fairyhouse on debut when second of 18, didn't exactly build on that next time over same trip but was given a considerate ride. Should have more to offer.

100/1
Easily beaten off in maidens at Fairyhouse (6f, good) and Naas (7f, yielding) so far, needs to come forward significantly and might be one to leave for handicaps.

Forecasts

Fior Cliste (7/2), Bay Of Skaill (7/2), Dreaming Of Gold (7/2), Uno Momento (5/1), Beaming (6/1), Live Twice (6/1), Acari (33/1), Madamoiselle (100/1)

Verdict

There wasn't much between UNO MOMENTO and Bay Of Skaill last time out at Naas and so bearing in mind the likely prices, it might be worth siding with the former to turn things around on his third start. He took a pleasing step forward from his debut run and should give this a bold sight. Bay Of Skaill has run well three times and rates an obvious danger while the likes of Dreaming Of Gold and Live Twice are also respected. Any money behind Fior Cliste on seasonal bow could prove worth noting.
  1. Uno Momento
  2. Bay Of Skaill
  3. Dreaming Of Gold
