Not disgraced when third of 10 beaten 5½L on debut at Naas behind stablemate Flag Of Honour earlier this month. Should be spot on for this.

Steady debut when fourth of 13 beaten 3¾L behind a Ger Lyons hot-pot at Gowran Park in July. Will look to progress here.

New To Town²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J S Bolger| OR: 83

6/1

Nice debut over 7f at Leopardstown earlier in the year and another solid effort at the Curragh in July, before disappointing a little on her last two starts at Leopardstown and Naas. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Kenya (8/11), Maze Runner (5/2), New To Town (6/1), Stellar Eclipse (12/1), Palace Guard (25/1)

KENYA can build on a fairly solid performance when third of 10 on debut at Naas earlier this month. The Willie Mullins-trained Maze Runner, beaten favourite last time out and the talented New To Town can battle for the minor honours in the opener.
