Gaheris^t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien

5/4

Promising type. 5/1, second of 11 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 31 days ago. Sort to go on progressing, so this looks a good chance for him to open his account.

Form: 6-2

5/2

Thrice-raced gelding. Second of 16 in maiden (7/4) at Limerick (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely to be on the premises, but lacks the potential of one or two.

Form: 542

Mcpherson^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79

3/1

Lightly-raced colt. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 9 in maiden (10/3) at Limerick (12.5f, soft) 11 days ago. May not have reached his limit and return to this trip should suit.

Form: 42-433

Premium Ticket

11/1

Dawn Approach gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful 8.4f winner Galantas. One to note for top stable if the market speaks in his favour.

Forecasts

Gaheris (5/4), Lord Luker (5/2), Mcpherson (3/1), Premium Ticket (11/1), Khlass (14/1), Rodman (28/1), Andromedas Kingdom (80/1), Mayan Son (125/1), Izzys Charm (150/1)

GAHERIS shaped well when narrowly denied in a maiden at Gowran on just his second start and another step forward should be enough for him to open his account at the the likely expense of Mcpherson, who could find a bigger effort back down in trip. Premium Ticket is a notable newcomer.
