80/1

First run since leaving Martin Brassil when twelfth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 200/1). Pulled up in a point since, so very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Gormanston (11/4), Fryerns (4/1), Donoch (9/2), Royal Admiral (11/2), Papal Parade (6/1), Everyhouronthehour (6/1), Bare With Me (7/1), Manap (14/1), Getgo (18/1), Knock Flyer (20/1), Crest Of A Wave (28/1), Marino Marvel (28/1), Assam (28/1), Taakhy (33/1), Barend Boy (33/1), Dathuil Dearg (80/1), Flying Mary (80/1)

DONOCH upped his game to get off the mark and, with Jack Sheridan's 5lb rather negating the rise for that win, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow up bid despite the drop in trip. Fryerns and Royal Admiral both arrive in good order and should provide formidable opposition to the selection.
