Promising start for this trainer when fast-finishing third in 1m Naas maiden three weeks ago having left Mick Halford after one run. Sets the standard on that effort and should improve.

Intikhab gelding cost €34,000 as a yearling, a half-brother to useful winners Pyrenean Music and Duchess Andorra. Gets Billy Lee for assistance on debut and that is no bad thing.

Arcano colt out of an Elusive Quality mare related to dual Sha Tin winner King Genki and recent AW winners Limoncino (Newcastle) and Arcanada (Lingfield). Must improve on two AW efforts thus far.

Intense Focus colt. Dam, unraced, closely related to this yard's smart winner up to 1m4f Pleascach. Represents top team on debut and commands attention.

Not disgraced last summer in 1m Curragh maiden behind subsequent Racing Post Trophy winner Saxon Warrior. Gelding could have more to offer at three.

Well held in 1m soft-ground Leopardstown maiden last backend, similar tale last month in 1m2½f AW maiden at Dundalk, leaves filly with plenty to do in this field.

Famous Name filly cost €24,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to fair winner Character Onesie. Respected runner on debut for the Weld yard and worth noting in betting.

Forecasts

Escapability (1/2), Expected (4/1), Seekamist (12/1), Intense Expression (12/1), Loudest Whisper (14/1), Way Back Home (20/1), Frame Rate (40/1)

Verdict

Fitness and an improved effort on reappearance at Naas sways the vote towards ESCAPABILITY here. That was a first run for Jessica Harrington and with any improvement the Excelebration colt should be hard to peg back now. There are a couple of interesting newcomers taking him on however, with Intense Expression and Seekamist both likely to be dangers for their respective connections.
  1. Escapability
  2. Intense Expression
  3. Seekamist
