By Arakan related to the likes of Toomore, Dick Turpin and recent Listowel winner On The Go Again. Took a keen hold on debut when fifth of 10 at Roscommon and eased when beaten in the closing stages. Can be expected to improve on that run here.

Sent off at odds of 50/1 and 25/1 on his two career starts the Bahamian Bounty gelding will need to step up on his ineffective runs at Galway and Bellewstown. Others preferred.

50/1

Failed to build on a slightly promising debut at the Curragh when finishing 16th of 18 at Leopardstown earlier in the month.The drop to 6f may bring about some improvement but others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Threeandfourpence (1/2), Aurora Eclipse (3/1), Papa Stour (7/1), Akua (9/1), Sunday Smart (12/1), Miss Zizi (14/1), Zeb City (14/1), Burmese Blazer (14/1), Just Waterville (14/1), Rockafilly (16/1), Summerseat Dream (20/1), Verbitude (20/1), Russian Campaign (25/1), Insignia Of Rank (33/1), Early Call (33/1), La Novia (40/1), Julia's Magic (50/1), Rapid Reaction (50/1), Colonel Paddy (50/1), Innamorare (50/1), Jango Fett (66/1)

It will pay to be on the front end here in the early stages given the amount of inexperienced juveniles on show. Aurora Eclipse and the improving Miss Zizi could well make the frame, but preference is for the progressive EARLY CALL who can stay out of trouble with his early toe and make his presence felt in first-time tongue-tie.
