Unraced gelded son of Gregorian out of maiden hurdle winner Godwit. Stable not known for maiden winners and others make more appeal.

Unraced Dark Angel gelding and a half-brother to a couple of winners for this stable. Worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Azwah¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

12/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing third over 7f at Listowel (yielding) last time out. Step up in trip looks likely to suit and she is one for the shortlist in this contest.

40/1

Fair sixth on debut at Naas (6f, yielding) in November. Below that form over 1m2f at Navan (good-to-yielding) on seasonal debut recently and probably best watched dropping markedly in distance.

Forecasts

Globe Theatre (6/4), Rhydwyn (2/1), Basrah Breeze (7/2), Throwaway Line (6/1), Azwah (12/1), Hurricane Cliff (16/1), Darkened (16/1), Shamarouski (20/1), Dali's Dream (25/1), Vocal Duke (28/1), Ask Delaney (33/1), Bobby Cool (33/1), Maggie Thunder (40/1), Tempestas (40/1), Aprils Joy (50/1), Thousand Letters (100/1), Shcamama (100/1), Marge Gunderson (100/1), Dandy Pearl (100/1)

BASRAH BREEZE has shown good form in three starts so far and she can get off the mark at the fourth attempt in this big field maiden contest. The selection can see off Globe Theatre who represents a leading stable and placed last time out while third place can go to Azwah who is improving with racing.
