4/1

Successful four times on the Flat so far most recently on soft ground over 1m6f at Bellewstown (soft) in June 2016. Finished eight over 2m1f on the opening day of this meeting and more needed here.

11/2

Ran well when 3L fourth in a valuable amateur riders contest over 2m1f on yielding ground here on Monday. Represents a leading yard here but more needed if he's to register a sixth Flat win today.

Form: 1010/64

Ted Veale³⁷²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 91| C| D

14/1

Finished runner-up in an amateur riders handicap at this meeting in 2016. Sole outing since then came in the Galway Hurdle here three days later and worth a check in the market for a yard who know what it takes to win at this meeting.

Form: 03319/2-

Forecasts

Renneti (11/4), Motherland (11/4), Benkei (4/1), Digeanta (11/2), Vigil (12/1), Ted Veale (14/1), Here For The Craic (14/1), Savannah Storm (14/1), Cymro (25/1)

RENNETI can follow up his decent performance in a Listed event last time out by recording his first success on the Flat since joining this yard in what looks a competitive heat. The selection has run to a decent level over hurdles in the past and can see off his rivals here with stablemate Digeanta taken to finish best of the remainder having run well when fifth here on Monday. Vigil makes his first appearance of 2017 here and can claim third in this concluding contest.
