Excelebration colt, cost €15,000 as a foal. Half-brother to three winners including two as a juvenile. Solid handicapper, placed on the ground and likely to be on the premises once again.

€16,000 son of Olympic Glory from an unraced dam closely related to a flat and hurdle winner at up to 3m. Under pressure from two out on debut when never a factor at the Curragh last month.

Gelded son of Charm Spirit showed little on debut when tailing in last of 12 at Leopardstown over 6f but exhibited plenty of promise when upped to 7½f at Tipperary last month. Leading player.

Not beaten far in four of his last five starts including a career best when beaten a nose over this trip at Limerick in June. Beaten 1L on yielding to soft ground last month.

Didn't achieve a lot in finishing third at Roscommon before a heavy defeat at the Galway festival in July. Hard to place any faith in.

The fitting of various types of head gear appears to have had limited success and career losing run set to continue here.

Well down the field in a couple of career starts since last month and first time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Running well in defeat in a number of career starts since June, appearing on the scene late in her races. Not discounted but improvement needed again in first-time cheekpieces.

Cheap yearling purchase by Foxwedge out of a Selkirk mare. Related to Group 1 Dubai Duty Free winner Cityscape. Eighth of 10 on debut in a Galway maiden over this trip and may need more time.

Did not respond to going up in trip at Naas earlier this month and holds place claims back at this distance following solid runs at the Curragh and Gowran Park earlier in the season.

Signs of ability in four outings so far over a variety of trips, but more needed once again in this contest.

Forecasts

Only The Brave (3/1), Facethepuckout (4/1), Pulsing Dragon (13/2), Sevenaday (7/1), Always Running (7/1), Gold Memory (10/1), Man Of The Sea (10/1), Cuban Surfer (16/1), High Glory (20/1), Cafe Sydney (33/1), Witherstorm (33/1), Improving (40/1)

Verdict

Now experienced, SEVENADAY can land the opener here under jockey Billy Lee building on his progressive style to wear down possible early leaders Pulsing Dragon and Cuban Surfer. With his last start dismissed, Facethepuckout is capable of hitting the frame and is likely to be doing his best work at the business end of the race along with Only The Brave.
  1. Sevenaday
  2. Pulsing Dragon
  3. Facethepuckout
