Warren Beach^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 90| D

6/5

Useful gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 15/8) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Progressing recently, and a player with headgear retained.

Form: 040-331

Mudamer^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: K Prendergast| OR: 86

10/3

Lightly-raced winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good third of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 40/1) 14 days ago. Firmly in the picture.

Form: 91-03

(3)

Perfect Thunder³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hugh Horgan⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 86| BF| D

6/4

Lightly-raced winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 7/4) 33 days ago. Stable having good spell, so needs considering.

Form: 52-14

Forecasts

Warren Beach (6/5), Perfect Thunder (6/4), Mudamer (10/3)

A case can be made for all three, but WARREN BEACH just has the edge on form so is taken to follow up his Gowran success with the blinkers retained. Mudamer arrives on the back of a very good Curragh third and is feared most ahead of Perfect Thunder.
