Price rose considerably from foal to yearling with this Oasis Dream gelding having plenty of stamina on the dam's side of the pedigree. Taken a long time to get to the track.

Elzaam gelding out of a Arakan mare. Cost £14,000 as a yearling half-brother to winners Mutahaady and Black Isle Boy. Fair effort on debut and should improve on that.

nine-race maiden whose career best efforts have come on soft of heavy ground. Fair effort when third over C&D when last seen last month and needs more.

€20,000 Dragon Pulse colt making his racecourse bow at belated stage of the season. Bred to be effective over shorter trips, which raises concerns, but worth a market check for signs of any punting interest.

Excelebration filly out of a Royal Anthem mare related to winners Kaeso and Barney Roy. Well held on only starts back in February and likely to need this run once more.

Well held in five starts here and first time cheekpieces doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.

Showed signs of ability in first three starts and duly stepped up on that when a close third on handicap debut over this C&D last month. This requires more.

Motivator filly that has run well over this C&D on several occasions. Brings the best form to the table and very likely to be in the shake-up once more.

Forecasts

Stranagone (15/8), King Of Leinster (11/2), The Game Of Life (7/1), May Peace Prevail (7/1), Roman Warrior (7/1), Lappet (8/1), Make A Challenge (9/1), Port Vauban (16/1), Watchman (25/1), Crest Of A Wave (28/1), Ingelara (50/1), Mighty Jasper (50/1), Cartoon Hero (66/1), Kris Black (66/1), Effernock Fizz (66/1)

Verdict

Stranagone has the best form credentials and is sure to be on the premises once more. We will take a chance on this going to a newcomer however and THE GAME OF LIFE is very interesting. His dam is a half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner Moon Ballad and is clearly bred for this game. Crest Of A Wave should do better.
