Holy Roman Emperor colt, half-brother to four winners. Second on debut at the end of June, before last of four and fifth of seven, beaten 15L in last two starts.
€475,000 as a yearling, out of French 1m3f winning half-sister to Group 1 winner. Third of seven on debut at Dundalk and two encouraging runs subsequently following a 'can forget about' Listed run at Curragh.
Bred for middles distances, but won on debut when beating 11 rivals 5½L in Roscommon maiden over 7f in June, before disappointing fourth of five at Killarney over 1m.
Lope De Vega colt, cost 80,000 gns as a yearling. Fair effort on debut at Naas in April, but on the whole disappointing in runs at Leopardstown and two Curragh starts.
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.
Tagula filly, cost €5,500 as a yearling. Full-sister to 7f two-year-old winner Cascading Stars and half-sister to several useful winners at around this trip. Got off the mark, last day in Leopardstown 7f claimer on good ground, last month at 12/1.
Dream Ahead filly who cost €5,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to Flat winner Forster Street, but has struggled in four career starts over a variety of trips.
Stepped up on debut effort when staying-on 33/1 third at Dundalk on second start but couldn't build on that effort in three subsequent starts.
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)
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.
- Mount Wellington
- Painting Pictures
- Deep Breath
