Modest 81-rated hurdler and without a win in 14 career starts including drawing seven blanks in bumper contests. Others look open to more improvement on Flat debut.

11/10
Kept on same pace in the closing stages when a never nearer second of seven beaten 1¾L in a Ballinrobe maiden last month. Looks a likely sort on paper.
Late developing Galileo colt out of a Danehill Dancer mare. Market likely to be the best guide on debut from leading owner/trainer combination.

Forecasts

Baliyad (11/10), True Self (7/4), High Mounte (5/2), Cliffs Of Dooneen (7/2), Highly Driven (66/1)

Verdict

Wide open contest here despite the small field. BALIYAD can build on his second last time out in a Ballinrobe maiden to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. The Ballydoyle newcomer Cliffs Of Dooneen will be of keen interest on debut while High Mounte could be one for the notebook.
  1. Baliyad
  2. Cliffs Of Dooneen
  3. High Mounte
