Struggling over hurdles and sole Flat run nothing to write home about. Likely to struggle in this company.

Improved markedly from his debut to finish runner-up on Killarney, only narrowly beaten and first-time blinkers could eke out a little improvement. The one to beat.

Shamardal colt out of a Danehill mare who cost 140,000gns as a yearling. Well beaten on debut at the Curragh and likely to do better with that experience under his belt but may be best watched this time.

Improved for his Listowel debut to finish fifth of 13 at the Curragh last time out. Will need to improve for the step up in trip to get involved.

Ran well when finishing third over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk when sporting cheekpieces for the first time last month. Disappointing since though and others hold more appeal.

Shamardal colt, half-brother to winners over shorter than this. May appreciate a drop back in trip in future races and yard a little below form of late. Wears first-time blinkers for debut.

Galileo gelding, cost 1,200,000 gns as a yearling. Brother to Hibiscus and dam a disqualified 1,000 Guineas winner. Has been disappointing given his pedigree/price tag but gelding operation might do the trick and sets a decent standard on form

Motivator gelding, cost €14,000 as a foal before trading for 24,000 gns as a yearling. Well beaten and green on debut. Looks up against it this time.

Forecasts

Abyssinian (4/5), World War (2/1), Chess Grand Master (7/1), Capital Fund (9/1), Noble Jones (10/1), Don Pedro (12/1), Yug (16/1), Grand Armada (16/1), Buckeye (25/1), River Run (33/1)

Verdict

ABYSSINIAN was only narrowly beaten last time and looks the one to beat in first time blinkers. World War may do better now gelded while Grand Chess Master has run well in a pair of bumpers on two career outings so far.
  1. Abyssinian
  2. World War
  3. Chess Grand Master
