15/2

Not disgraced in three career starts so far including on seasonal reappearance in a Curragh 1m2f maiden on good to firm ground earlier this month. Worth a market check on handicap debut.

Willywampus^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Gary Halpin| T: D Commins| OR: 79

66/1

Four-race maiden. Weakened when headed over 2f out in a Leopardstown 1m2f maiden on good to firm ground earlier this month. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 537-0

Forecasts

Protagonist (1/1), Silvertown (5/1), Howling Wolf (7/1), Kerandi (7/1), Cabot Hills (15/2), Mythologic (11/1), Mr Mooj (12/1), Luke Short (12/1), Comfort Line (22/1), Willywampus (66/1)

If the Mick Halford-trained Kerandi was up with the pace when winning on debut on the AW at Dundalk in March but similar tactics could play in to the hands of jockey Gavin Ryan aboard the Donnacha O'Brien-trained, CABOT HILLS. The Gelneagles colt ran a career best on debut when coming off the pace to finish second of eight at Leopardstown 12 months ago. Protagonist for trainer Jessica Harrington, comfortably got off the mark at the fifth time of asking on stable debut at Gowran Park this month and is the clear and obvious danger. Silvertown and Mr Mooj can compete for remaining prize money.
