Battle Of Jericho^t²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 100| D

1/7

Didn't need to improve to win a Leopardstown maiden in July and produced a respectable effort in defeat in a Dundalk Listed race before a 3L defeat at the end of the season at Newmarket last October. Likely to be a warm order here.

Verhoyen^h⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 72| D

14/1

Looks to be better on the AW at Dundalk than on turf and has it all to do with the expected warm favourite here.

Form: 60-1054

War Advocate

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: A Keatley

25/1

Interesting Declaration Of War colt out of a Storm Bird mare related to Group 3 winner Actress but plenty to prove on debut.

My Silver Nails^h⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: M Mulvany| OR: 72| D

10/1

Well raced filly with plenty of miles on the clock already. Modest handicapper who can be expected to struggle behind the favourite here.

Form: 1369-79

Forecasts

Battle Of Jericho (1/7), My Silver Nails (10/1), Verhoyen (14/1), War Advocate (25/1)

Hard to see if Verhoyen and My Silver Nails can get anywhere near the Aiden O'Brien-trained BATTLE OF JERICHO in what looks a lop-sided contest.
