11/1

12/1

Statuaire²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J B Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

8/11

Promising sort. First run since leaving P. Chevillard when won 13-runner novice hurdle (13/8) at Downpatrick (18.8f, soft) on IRE NH debut 26 days ago, forging clear. Leading claims.

Forecasts

Statuaire (8/11), Persia (9/4), Gloire D'Athon (5/2), Wouldn't You Agree (10/1), Elite Charboniere (11/1), Staging Post (12/1), Daicheadacuig (12/1), The Deise Man (66/1), Lancastria (66/1), I'vedoneitall (150/1), Blazing Tornado (150/1)

STATUAIRE left her previous exploits in her wake when making a winning yard debut at Downpatrick 26 days ago, forging clear despite doing plenty through the early stages. Open to further improvement, she gets the nod to follow up. Persia rates the chief threat for Joseph O'Brien, ahead of Gloire d'Athon and Wouldn't You Agree.
