Well beaten and no impression on debut at the Curragh when finishing last of 10 beaten over 18L, before much of the same at Dundalk on the AW earlier this month. Will need to significantly improve in first-time cheekpieces to figure.

Forecasts

World War (8/11), Solo Saxophone (6/1), Take The High Road (8/1), Bid Adieu (10/1), Balanced Approach (12/1), Warnaq (20/1), Maison Bleu (20/1), Guido Reni (25/1), Small Bit Of Love (33/1), Shelooksthepart (33/1), Santiago Rusinol (40/1), Bella Primavera (40/1), Pass The Ball (50/1), Black Allstar (50/1), Jake Peter (66/1), Not Now Bernard (66/1), Peggy's Acre (100/1), My Loveshack (100/1), Cinema Paradiso (100/1)

Pass The Ball, World War and Solo Saxophone will possibly be vying for the lead in the early stages here with Maison Bleu also making good speed. The Ger Lyon's-trained World War may have to settle for a place again along with Balanced Approach, while preference is for the Kyllachy gelding TAKE THE HIGH ROAD who is expected to improve on his debut run here last month.
