Tenth Amendment^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: G M Ryan| T: K H Clarke| OR: 50

8/1

One win from 33 Flat runs. Very good 1½ lengths second of 11 to Lariat in handicap at Bellewstown (14.3f, good, 11/1) 24 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction, so he's considered.

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 37 days ago, merely closing up late. More needed now going significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Craic Eile (11/2), Derrinlaur (13/2), Lariat (15/2), Tenth Amendment (8/1), Isaiah (17/2), Breagagh (10/1), Drummer (11/1), Fattan (12/1), Go Large (12/1), Rock Breaker (12/1), Ballymist (14/1), Ellaat (14/1), Mythical Times (16/1), Bright Sovereign (22/1), Benz (25/1), Benkei (25/1), Chateau Musar (28/1), Franno (28/1), Enquire Within (28/1), Room To Roam (33/1), Xael (40/1), Cardinal Rule (50/1), Royal Admiral (66/1)

A very open handicap, so at the likely odds it is worth siding with the handily-weighted ISAIAH to prove resurgent on his first start for the highly talented Gavin Cromwell. Tenth Amendment is feared most on the back of his very good recent Bellewstown second, while both Fattan and Ballymist need factoring in too for place purposes.
