13/2

Second of 10 in this contest 12-months ago. C&D winner who found Aussie Valentine ½L better here last month when sent off favourite. Just 2lb higher than last winning mark the Shamardal gelding looks set for a big run with conditions to suit.

Looks a long way off the form that secured the Teofilo colt a C&D win here last December. Likely to find it tough going in this company.

Forecasts

King's Field (13/8), Omran (6/1), Katiymann (13/2), Geological (8/1), Atlas (8/1), Theobald (10/1), Tony The Gent (10/1), Have A Nice Day (10/1), Reaver (14/1), Pedisnap (20/1), Gymkhana (25/1), Triple Sec (33/1)

C&D winner KATIYMANN can land the spoils here with Shamardal gelding never finishing out of the first three in four spins over course and distance. The Mick Halford yard have a strong record here around this time of the season and this six-year-old can claim his third win here under Ben Coen. The Joseph O'Brien-trained King's Field won here last month before going down by 3½L in a Listed contest at Leopardstown and is the clear danger here. Gallant six-year-old, Geological is back on a winning mark here can go well at a price.
