Hooded on debut and soon dropped away once the taps were turned on. Needs to improve plenty on that to get involved here.

Showed some ability on her debut with a staying-on fourth at Dundalk. Not strong form but at least shows she has something to offer. Stiff mile here could be ideal.

12/1
Had clearly learnt plenty from his Leopardstown debut when upped in trip at Ballinrobe last time out, finishing a staying-on fourth. Likely to improve again but does need this for a handicap mark.

50,000gns yearling and some classy sorts in the family, but a little disconcerting to see the hood applied for his debut today. Saying that, this is not strong and market support would be interesting.

Half-brother to useful Dark Islander and this sort of trip likely to suit, ran a perfectly sound introduction when fourth at Tipperary but yard struggling for form and best watched.

13/2
Wasn't much expected judging by 20/1 price tag on debut at Ballinrobe but ran a good race to finish second (Acari in behind). Will have learnt plenty from that and should be up to making an impression here.

Better run last time out when third in a claimer at Navan but that was weak form, and he probably needs the rain to stay away too. Needs to progress again.

Second at Fairyhouse in early July the best piece of form on show here, but he couldn't back it up over the same C&D last time out. Form is there but hard to say he's progressing and vulnerable to improvers.

Disappointed when made long odds-on favourite at Gowran Park in April but that's probably not her running, and her debut run at Leopardstown has thrown up winners. Yard do well at this meeting and this one should be given respect.

Forecasts

Sansibar Jewel (4/6), Perfect Soldier (5/1), My Amazing One (13/2), Persina (11/1), Acari (12/1), Kupa River (14/1), Nightly Wailing (20/1), Giorni Felice (25/1), Exit West (25/1), Fashaar (33/1)

Verdict

Dermot Weld has won this three of the last five years and SANSIBAR JEWEL may be another winner for him. Even a repeat of her last run would take her close, but she's surely better than that and could take the beating. My Amazing One wouldn't need to improve much from his debut to get involved and may be the biggest threat. Acari wasn't far behind My Amazing One there and might pick up the pieces for third.
