11/10
Winner of one of his six starts and has been competing at a much higher level than this, including in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket and Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on last two starts. Takes a huge drop in class and ought to win comfortably.

Excelebration colt who was a cheap purchase and is a half-brother to three winners, two of them over middle distances. Will probably need this debut experience.

33/1
By Born To The Sea out of a Persian Bold mare, he is from the family of Champion Stakes winner Storming Home. Mid-division over C&D on debut and needs to step up in first-time blinkers.

Horse silk
7/2
Camelot colt who fetched €55,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to nine winners, mainly over middle-distances. Plenty of promise when fifth of 14 over C&D on debut and could be the one to give the top weight most to do.

16/1
Stepped up on debut effort when fifth of 10 over 7f at this track. May improve again, but still has plenty to find if he is to get his head in front.

Horse silk

Casamento colt who was an inexpensive purchase as a yearling. Takes a marked rise in trip after a fair debut over 6f at this course and has possibilities,

6/1
Comfortable winner of a 7f maiden at this track last month. Needs to take another major leap forward, but is happy on this surface and that counts for plenty.

Horse silk
25/1
Scat Daddy colt out of a Danehill mare. Pleasing pedigree and represents a good stable on debut, but Downdraft may be the yard's number one.

Horse silk
18/1
Lawman colt who cost 25,000 gns and is related to several useful types. Promising and not disgraced over C&D last month when beaten 6L, but needs to improve to take a hand in the finish.

8/1
Fair level of placed form in 7f maidens at this track on last two starts. Extra distance needs to produce improvement if she is to get involved.

Thewayyouare filly who has plenty of speed in her pedigree and whose dam is from the family of Dancing Brave. Green, but shaped with promise on debut at Gowran Park and can do better.

Little show in two C&D maidens and no real reason to suggest this will be any different. May do better in handicaps.

Well behind in maidens at Roscommon and The Curragh during the summer. Back from a break with plenty to prove on AW debut.

Forecasts

Theobald (11/10), Downdraft (7/2), Palariva (6/1), Aishling's Secret (8/1), Griffyndor (16/1), Remmy D (18/1), Paolo Veronese (25/1), Noivo (33/1), Born To Frolic (33/1), Bilboa Lane (66/1), Well Why Not (66/1), Iceni (66/1), Candle In The Wind (66/1)

Verdict

Assuming he handles this AW surface, THEOBALD is clearly going to take plenty of beating and is hard to oppose. Downdraft shaped well on debut and may give him most to do, while the filly, Palariva, has winning course form which gives her each-way claims.
