Nine race maiden and wore a first time visor (retained) when finishing fifth at Gowran Park (yielding) over this trip last time. Others make more appeal here.

Good effort when finishing runner-up over 1m4f at Fairyhouse (good) on handicap debut a month ago. Tongue tie worn for the first time on that occasion is retained here and blinkers replace the cheekpieces that have been worn of late.

Ran some decent races in maiden company but disappointed over 1m2f at Naas (yielding) on handicap debut in June and others make more appeal here.

Maiden after six starts and well beaten for his only placed effort in a maiden on soft-to-heavy ground in March. Others have more obvious claims here.

Improved effort upped in trip when third of 16 beaten 2L over 1m5f at Navan (good-to-firm) on handicap debut last month. Represents a stable with a 26% strike-rate (14/53) recently and one for the shortlist here.

Maiden after four starts but a better effort on first run since being gelded and handicap debut in first time blinkers (replaced with cheekpieces today) at Naas (1m2f, good) last time. May surprise a few better fancied rivals upped in trip once more.

Forecasts

Shoulda Lied (11/4), Bold Knight (11/2), Nimitz (6/1), Big Ego (7/1), Inescapable (9/1), Cristal Icon (10/1), Don Pedro (12/1), Marvellous Ways (14/1), Aldawayfornothing (14/1), Grey Willow (14/1), Peace Maker (16/1), Port Moody (16/1), Enemy Of The State (16/1), Nightly Wailing (20/1), One Liner (20/1), Classical Rock (20/1), Endless Endeavour (25/1), Yarraman (50/1)

Verdict

SHOULDA LIED can follow up his good run on handicap debut by taking this competitive three-year-old handicap for leading trainer Willie Mullins. The selection drops slightly in trip here and can get the better of Big Ego who was a winner over this trip at Gowran Park last time out whilst Bold Knight, another to run well last time can claim third today.
  1. Shoulda Lied
  2. Big Ego
  3. Bold Knight
