Still a maiden in both codes after 19 starts, eight of which have come on the Flat. Stable does ready a winner or two at this meeting.

Maiden after 10 starts but ran well for a long way over 1m4f at Tipperary on debut for this yard in April. Difficult to make a case for the filly here.

Forecasts

St Stephens Green (11/10), Zanjabeel (11/4), Grainne's Dream (9/2), Shadagann (6/1), Jan Van Eyck (13/2), Coolfighter (13/2), Alamgiyr (20/1), Silent Dreamer (33/1)

Verdict

A race that has historical advantage for those ridden up with the pace, which brings in to play the chances of Grainne's Dream. Shadagann, is three from 16 on good ground, whilst he is also a dual distance winner. The selection, ST STEPHENS GREEN, is a useful hurdler who went well at Galway and will relish the forecast conditions..
  1. St Stephens Green
  2. Shadagann
  3. Grainne's Dream
