Cu Roi⁵

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: J J Murphy J: Robbie Colgan

Forecasts

Female Approach (1/1), Cu Roi (11/2), Maloja (13/2), Sea Appeal (15/2), Church Mountain (15/2), Fast Celt (10/1), Starla (10/1), Queen Amanirenas (18/1), Bader Ginsburg (25/1), Chummie (28/1), Al Rafiq (33/1), Madeline Hayes (50/1)

It may pay to side with SEA APPEAL, who left his low-key maiden form behind when sixth on handicap debut at Roscommon. He'll have every chance off this 2 lb lower mark if able to build on that. Cu Roi possesses a similar profile to the selection and, with Female Approach a potential non runner after winning at Fairyhouse on Friday, he is next on the list ahead of Starla.
