Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: A M Glynn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan

28/1

Successful three times over jumps and also the winner of a bumper. Held over hurdles the last twice and probably best watched at present.

Form: 5

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: E Mullins

16/1

In good form over hurdles of late winning on heavy ground at Tramore in April prior to a success on soft at Kilbeggan last time out. Worth a check in the market on Flat debut.

Baliyad²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld

8/1

Fair seventh when making his debut over 1m2f at Navan (good-to-firm) last month. Represents leading connections and is an interesting runner in this.

Form: 7

Desert Chorus

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

9/1

Unraced son of Oasis Dream purchased for €140,000 as a yearling. Dam was a winner twice over 1m and he is worth a check in the market on debut.

Latrobe¹³

1/7

Finished runner-up on all three starts so far including in a Group 3 contest at The Curragh (1m2f, good-to-firm) last time. Likely to prove hard to beat stepping up in trip and dropping markedly in grade.

Form: 2-22

(7)

Mulligan Choice

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer

40/1

Unraced home-bred Kaieteur colt out of an unraced mare. Others make more appeal on his first appearance on the track.

Forecasts

Latrobe (1/7), Baliyad (8/1), Desert Chorus (9/1), Tornado Watch (16/1), Whatharm (20/1), Jack The Wire (28/1), Mulligan Choice (40/1)

LATROBE can break his maiden tag in the concluding race on the card with the unraced Desert Chorus taken to give him most to think about on his racecourse debut. Ballyad put in a fair effort on debut last month and he can finish third.
