15/2

Unraced gelded son of Equiano purchased for €26,000 as a yearling last year. Half-brother to dual winner Society Red but probably best watched for a stable who are 0/15 with their juveniles in recent years.

Decent effort when finishing sixth on his debut over 5f here earlier this month. Has been gelded since and is worth a check in the market on this occasion.

Highly tried on both starts so far most recently when 23rd of 29 in a sales contest at The Curragh (soft-to-heavy) last month. This looks more realistic.

IT'S ALL A JOKE has the benefit of experience here and can get off the mark at the second time of asking today. Gelded since his debut here earlier this month the selection can get the better of the Aidan O'Brien pair Full Moon and Lost Treasure with preference for the latter who's dam was precocious enough to win in Group company as a juvenile.
