Won a decent maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) ten days ago, battling well to get up close home, before second of eight on handicap debut at Curragh over 6f. Step up to 7f should suit.

Forecasts

Sebastiano Ricci (9/4), Deep Breath (3/1), Painting Pictures (7/2), Mount Wellington (6/1), Bachelor (12/1), Island Affair (14/1), Spirit Of Dreams (14/1), Pak Army (25/1)

Verdict

A couple here you can make cases for, Painting Pictures, won on debut when beating 11 rivals 5½L in Roscommon maiden over 7f in June, before disappointing fourth of five last day and Deep Breath, second of eight on handicap debut at Curragh over 6f, can make the first three, but preference is for MOUNT WELLINGTON, who can get off the mark here by making all.
  1. Mount Wellington
  2. Painting Pictures
  3. Deep Breath
