6/4

Winner on the AW at Dundalk in May, by Camelot he was thought good enough to run in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. Beaten 3¾L behind Baghdad but well ahead of Old Newton Cup second, Lucius Tiberius puts the colt in the mix.

Form: 571-196

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: M Halford| OR: 98

5/2

Solid and consistent sort at hitting the frame and has never run a bad race since May. Needs to improve on previous Listed form at Listowel and Naas last term.

14/1

Winner on debut at Killarney 12 month ago the daughter of Oasis Dream has failed to build on that win in four starts since. The 2¼L defeat at the Curragh over 1m last month in a 27k handicap will have pleased connections, but more needed here.

Form: 155-87

Forecasts

Downdraft (6/4), Masaff (15/8), Massif Central (5/2), Kangaroo Valley (5/2), Dream Ascot (14/1)

Beaten 3¾L in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot last month the Camelot colt, DOWNDRAFT can make the transition in to Listed company at the expense of the 105-rated Masaff from the Dermot Weld yard and the solid and consistent Massif Central who is running creditably this term.
