Beaten out of sight in two bumpers early last year. This a lot shorter distance but impossible to be confident.

Showed a modicum of ability in third of four starts when third of eleven in Tramore maiden in August. Previously showed little in two bumpers and well held at Roscommon latest. Surprise if he is good enough.

Well beaten in two bumpers in September. Hood added for AW debut but nothing to suggest he can play a major role.

Had more trainers than runs at present but clearly has some ability. Second of 11 in Tipperary maiden on debut before slightly disappointing sixth of 16 at Gowran last month. Each-way potential for top jockey.

Pleasing debut over 1m4f here last month when 2¾L third of 11. Ran green there before staying on in the home straight and this slightly shorter trip ought to suit so has to be considered.

Maiden of eight races and been 100/1 or above in six of them. Showed next to nothing so far so readily dismissed.

10/3
Upped in trip and dramatically in class latest when 2¾L eighth of 13 here in a Listed race. Bare form of that run puts her firmly in the mix here although she was likely somewhat flattered.

Lone debutant in the field is by 2m winning jumps sire Ask out of a mare placed over hurdles. Likely need much further and probable future lies over obstacles.

Upped to this trip and ran well latest when 5¼L fourth of 14. Bit more needed to win this but every chance she is in the shake-up.

3/1
Frankel filly has been turned over at odds on the last twice and after three placed efforts her latest run back to 1m was disappointing. This distance more suitable and is surely a major player on AW debut.

Ordinary form in two maidens at Fairyhouse and Naas in the summer. Back from a layoff and this looks more a case of achieving a handicap mark than anything else.

Maiden has won £68,000 in prize money largely thanks to second in valuable sales race two years ago. Missed entire three-year old season but decent form in maidens lately and each way candidate if getting in. First reserve.

Forecasts

Financial Conduct (9/4), Frima (3/1), Pipes Of Peace (3/1), Nivvo (10/3), Clear Skies (9/2), Dayereh (8/1), Bid Adieu (12/1), Teqany (16/1), Lady Kimberley (25/1), King Jeremy (33/1), Whisper Magnolia (66/1), Midnight Lightning (66/1), Boy Capel (66/1), Viempa (66/1), Shadow Of Hercules (150/1)

Verdict

PIPES OF PEACE has been disappointing in general considering his breeding but he ran well last time and appeared to be crying out for this step up in trip and many by Galileo indeed relish distances similar so he is worth chancing. Frima is guaranteed to be well fancied once more after being odds-on in her last two runs and she will be more effective back up in trip. Nivvo wasn't disgraced in Listed company last time when upped to this trip so she must enter calculations.
