Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: D E Sheehy| T: S Lynam| OR: 48

10/1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Farragher⁽⁴⁾| T: A Oliver| OR: 46

66/1

10-race maiden yet to hit the frame on two starts here, well beaten over a variety of trips since returning to action in April. Will need to raise overall profile to play a role.

Forecasts

Loaded (7/4), Dubai Rainbow (5/1), Suntory Times (6/1), Tio Esteban (15/2), Solomons Seal (8/1), Red Avenger (8/1), Everyhouronthehour (10/1), Cavelli (11/1), One For Della (11/1), Sharg (18/1), Pulsating (20/1), Survival Mode (33/1), Spirit Of Dawn (33/1), Slainte (33/1), Punches Pious (50/1), Irregardless (66/1), Soldier's Folly (66/1)

DUBAI RAINBOW is one of just two C&D winners in the line-up. The four-year-old can get back to winning ways here following a solid second of 13 beaten 2¼L over 7f at this venue last month. The Ado McGuinness-trained Loaded has been running well in defeat in three starts since last month and can surface as the biggest danger, while Sarah Lynam's Suntory Times has been running with plenty of credit over C&D since returning to action last month. The only other C&D winner in the field Red Avenger would not surprise if producing a bold bid.
