3/1

Gained a first win since his debut at Dundalk in December. Has struggled campaigned at Pattern level this year but he produced a better effort when down in class at Leopardstown last time. Looks vulnerable for win purposes on these terms.

Form: 1-77702

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 109

4/9

Only win came at Fairyhouse last year but ran well next time out in the Dewhurst. Placed in Listed class at Dundalk earlier in the campaign and while he's struggled to land a blow in Group 1 class since, he ought to run well at this level.

Form: 4-29048

Kerineya²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford| CD

11/1

Still green on debut at Naas last time on her only career start but got up to win and the form of that race has been franked in good fashion since. Will need a sizable step forward to land a blow here but entirely unexposed and not ruled out.

First Response

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

8/1

First Defence gelding, half-brother to four winners. Dam a Group 1 winner (Pretty Polly Stakes). Tough ask on debut and it's probably a poor sign that he's already been gelded. Others preferred.

Threeandfourpence (4/9), Theobald (3/1), First Response (8/1), Kerineya (11/1)

THREEANDFOURPENCE sets a solid standard on form here and a reproduction of his placed effort at Dundalk earlier in the campaign may be enough to see him win this. Kerineya is entirely unexposed and may be able to get the better of Theobald for minor honours having shaped like she would improve for her debut last time.
