Never a factor when something clearly amiss at the Galway festival on the geldings latest run following a promising third of nine beaten 1¼L at Leopardstown in July. Worth a market check.

Better form has come on good to firm ground over the summer and is attempting to get off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking. May have to settle for a minor role.

In fine form this year and has won three of his last five starts, all over this trip. not seen since heavy defeat in June and may need the run on return to action.

Teofilo colt, dam out of a half-sister to a US Grade 3 winner. Largely well down the field in three career starts to date and others look to be progressing at a quicker rate.

Maiden on the Flat in 12 turf starts for connections. Not beaten far over a variety of trips since June but holds place claims at best.

Forecasts

Dalton Highway (4/1), Queen Iseult (9/2), Nimitz (5/1), Try Again (13/2), Remembered Joy (8/1), Theotonius (10/1), Bit Of Banter (11/1), Schoolboy Error (12/1), Remmy D (12/1), Mandamus (16/1), Shadagann (25/1)

Verdict

The Dubai Destination gelding TRY AGAIN twice hit the crossbar before scoring at Roscommon last month winning a 1m2½f handicap on soft ground off a 6lb lower mark but can continue his solid looking form here going up in trip. The Aiden O'Brien filly Queen Iseult is deserving of consideration with the yard back among the winners while distance winner Remmy D can go well at a price.
  1. Try Again
  2. Queen Iseult
  3. Remmy D
