Dawn Approach colt, half-brother to three winners. Dam a Group 1 winner and sister to another Group 1 winner. Will have disappointed high profile owners with a number of below-par efforts since April. Best watched on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Louisiana (4/5), Chrysalism (9/2), In From The Cold (6/1), Yulong Voice (8/1), Galactic Grey (14/1), Voice Of Hope (20/1), Paso Doble (20/1)

The Aidan O'Brien-trained LOUISIANA can get off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking following a number of close calls since the colt's debut in August. Chrysalism, a winner at the Curragh in August and the Jessica Harrington-trained Yulong Voice, a winner on good ground at Fairyhouse last month can battle for the remaining prize money. In From The Cold, has continued in consistent form since winning a Sligo 5f handicap off a 7lb lower mark in August and can go well once again.
