Cost €5,000 and is a half-brother to a winner over 1m4f. Not much encouragement to be taken from his debut run at The Curragh and others preferred.
Cost €80,000 and is a half-brother to a winning sprinter. Dam is a sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Saoire. Yard always highly respected with its youngsters and this fellow no exception now he has the benefit of a run behind him. One to consider for sure.
Cost €340,000 as a yearling and represents a mark of the trust placed in his young trainer. Improved with each run so far but the fact that he has already had four attempts at breaking his maiden is a tad off-putting. Tongue tie fitted for the first time but yard is flying just now, so has to merit a check in the betting.
Breeding an interesting mix and definite hint of stamina bodes well for the future. Two runs so far have been poor however, and he makes limited appeal here.
Ninth of eleven on debut needs to be bettered and this may prove to be a step beyond him just now. No reason why he shouldn't go on from here though.
Cost €15,000 as a two-year-old, ran out of steam over 6f on debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month and was eased near the finish. Possible the extra furlong will suit but he comes here with plenty to prove and may need more time.
Faded on debut over 5f at Cork but was always going to find that trip on the sharp side judging by his breeding. The extra yardage will help tonight but he does need to show a lot more here.
Forecasts
Medal Of Honour (8/11), Impactful (5/2), Quizical (7/1), Spiorad Saoirse (14/1), Elusive Don (33/1), Premier League (50/1), Roderic The Second (66/1)
There is likely to be a race within Medal Of Honour and he has to be respected in what looks to be a good opportunity for him. However, he has already come up short on four occasions and makes limited appeal at likely cramped odds. He is therefore taken on with IMPACTFUL, who posted a highly encouraging effort on debut and may have plenty more to offer now he is gaining in experience. Spiorad Saoirse can be expected to improve for this step up in trip and is forwarded as the best of the rest.
