Bred to have a bit of speed, and sets the standard here form-wise on his third to Dunvegan on New Year's Day at Fairyhouse. Handled heavy ground there so every chance of going two better here.
Nicely bred but hasn't shown much in two starts so far and looks one that simply needs a bit more time. Will win races but possibly not today.
Dam is a hurdle winner and a half-sister to useful The Game Is A Foot, so some positives to be taken on the breeding and with a yard that does well in these events. Market best guide but clearly respected.
Likely to want fences in time but good introduction when close third at Limerick at the end of last year. Gelded since and likely to progress on that, handles the ground and should be taking a prize of some description home.
Forecasts
Castlebawn West (4/5), Diamond Turf (10/3), Bugsy Siegel (7/2), Bennaway (8/1)
As ever in these events, the market provides the best guide, especially with the Willie Mullins newcomer Castlebawn West in the field. Preference at this stage though goes to BUGSY SIEGEL, who showed enough on debut to think he's capable of picking up a race such as this. Diamond Turf is the other to consider, with Bennaway looking held.
- Bugsy Siegel
- Diamond Turf
- Castlebawn West
