17-race maiden who went well earlier in the summer with a string of placed efforts but seems to have lost his way slightly since and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Appears to be improving with every start and, with the yard firing, one for the shortlist in this company.

66/1
First foal of Dandy Man closely related to top sprinter Peniaphobia and multiple winner in Ireland Plough Boy. Weakened on debut at the Curragh recently and possibly best watched here.

Forecasts

Ajmera (11/8), Early Call (11/4), Freiheit (11/4), Teddy Boy (7/1), Magic Magilini (33/1), Miss Florence (50/1), Kivatie (66/1)

Verdict

Beaten a head by Lost Treasure - winner of a 15-runner handicap since - AJMERA is capable of further improvement here and can see off the attentions of the solid and consistent Freiheit from the Willie McCreery yard and Michael Mulvaney's Early Call who can benefit from first-time cheekpices here.
  1. Ajmera
  2. Freiheit
  3. Early Call
