50/1
Distant third in a Bellewstown bumper 6 months ago for Roger McGrath. Would need a significant step forward if he was to feature on debut for new stable.

€70,000 purchase who has shaped with promise both starts in bumpers to date, finishing with running left when second at Lingfield last time. Has been been found good opportunity to open his account.

€40,000 Shantou gelding who offered plenty of promise when third to Punxsutawney Phil at Newcastle on debut. Could reverse form with that rival on better terms, so boasts solid claims.

10/1
Kayf Tara gelding who, having left John Quinn, improved on debut effort when mid-field at Newcastle 26 days ago. Needs further progress to play a significant part in this, though.

Lucarno gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/poor hurdler (2½m winner) Wymeswold. Yard not renowned for debut winners.
|
Timeform
Shirocco gelding who made a winning start on tapeta at Newcastle last month and should give another good account of himself if equally effective on turf (bred to be).

6/1
Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Left debut form well behind when won 10-runner event at Lingfield (16f, standard) 33 days ago. This poses a different test, however.

Cokoriko gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful chaser Saint de Vassy and fairly useful hurdler Or de Vassy. Notable newcomer.

Born To Sea gelding who was strong in the betting prior to an underwhelming start at Newcastle 77 days ago. Obviously thought capable of better.

Forecasts

Datsalrightgino (6/5), Party Business (4/1), Punxsutawney Phil (9/2), Socks Off (6/1), Rattle Owl (10/1), Jerejak (12/1), Moriko De Vassy (20/1), One For Navigation (50/1), Arena Star (50/1), Red Brae Rainy May (200/1)

Verdict

DATSALRIGHTGINO's three placed efforts to date amount to more in form terms than anything his rivals have achieved, so he's a confident choice to belatedly open his account. Party Business, an encouraging third at Newcastle on debut, is regarded as the main threat ahead of newcomer Moriko de Vassy.

  1. DATSALRIGHTGINO (GER)
  2. PARTY BUSINESS (IRE)
  3. MORIKO DE VASSY (FR)
