Claimed after finishing 2L second to Michele Strogoff at Chester (7f+ good to soft) in late June and filled that same position on stable debut here when beaten by Be Kool, eighth of 12, well beaten off this mark last day at Newcastle.

Ran okay for the application of a visor over C&D last time, going from the front and getting done for toe late on, but put that right on last day here winning 1m handicap.

A consistent gelding with three victories to his name, the last time when scoring over an extended mile at Hamilton just over a year ago. Stable and gelding a little out of form lately.

His last couple of starts have highlighted how hard he is to win with and his losing run now stretches back over a year, but consistent and will look to place.

All five wins have come on the AW including over 1m at Dundalk three starts back. Ran well last day at Leopardstown and 3lb lower here for Irish raider.

Forecasts

Royal Shaheen (5/1), Abushamah (6/1), Crazy Tornado (13/2), Strong Steps (17/2), Magistral (17/2), Dark Crystal (9/1), Belle De Lawers (9/1), Rockwood (10/1), Zeshov (11/1), Coreczka (11/1), Shah Of Armaan (33/1), Planetaria (80/1)

Verdict

The early pace should come from Planetaria here with Royal Shaheen, Dark Crystal and Shah Of Armaan following close behind. Strong Steps and Royal Shaheen are sure to go well from the top the card, while the selection is MAGISTRAL, who can put his last run behind him.
  1. Magistral
  2. Strong Steps
  3. Royal Shaheen
