Finished runner-up on both bumper starts so far. Had Boris Grishenko behind him at Galway (yielding) last month and likely to prove hard to beat with cheekpieces fitted for the first time today.

Well beaten when making his racecourse debut in a Ballinrobe (yielding) bumper over an extended 2m1f last week. Likely to find a few too good here.

Forecasts

Chess Grand Master (9/10), Roseriver Has (3/1), Dream Baie (3/1), Boris Grishenko (3/1), Days Without End (4/1), Thereisnodoubt (16/1), Sioux Per Pushkin (33/1)

Verdict

CHESS GRAND MASTER has some solid form to his name including when runner-up at Galway three weeks ago. Jockey Tom Hamilton has a 31% strike-rate (4/13) when teaming up with Joseph O'Brien-trained individuals so far this season and the pair can take this concluding contest. Days Without End is related to a couple of useful individuals and is taken to claim second on debut ahead of Dream Baie who is another from the Joseph O'Brien stable.
  1. Chess Grand Master
  2. Days Without End
  3. Dream Baie
