Caliption²⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Morris

11/8

Point-to-point winner who has shown promise in a maiden hurdle and bumper. Looks the best of those with racecourse experience and should prove hard to beat.

Form: 1/54-

Kilcarry Red

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan

16/1

Son of High Chapparal who cost 18,000 gns as a foal and is a half-brother to six winners, including one over jumps. Nice pedigree and one to note if there is any market support for him.

Form:

Riverdene¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J J Codd| T: E Griffin

9/4

Son of Milan who fetched €46,000 as a three-year-old. Looked in need of the experience when fourth of eight on his only start in a bumper at Navan and normal improvement should enable him to make his presence felt under his leading amateur.

Form: 4-

Secret Legacy

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms N Carberry| T: G Elliott

7/2

Flemensfirth gelding who cost €40,000 as a three-year-old. Represents a top stable and positive jockey booking suggests a decent display is expected.

Form:

Spike Alen

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: Eric Larkin

10/1

Son of Marienbard whose dam was a winning hurdler. Worth a check in the betting market on his debut.

Form:

Temple Hall Flyer³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey

16/1

Well beaten in a bumper and maiden hurdle. Needs to show significant improvement if he is to mix it with some likely sorts.

Form: 6-7

Forecasts

Caliption (11/8), Riverdene (9/4), Secret Legacy (7/2), Spike Alen (10/1), Temple Hall Flyer (16/1), Kilcarry Red (16/1)

An intriguing finale in which Caliption sets the standard and Riverdene can get involved if stepping up on a promising debut. However, there are a couple of interesting debutants in Kilcarry Red and SECRET LEGACY and it is the latter, representing a top stable, who gets the vote given his attractive pedigree and significant jockey booking.
