5/1

Lightly-raced winner. 8 lengths seventh of 9 to Wexford Native in listed race (25/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Yard in good form, so he can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Silken Ladder (2/1), Corporal Violette (9/4), Warren Beach (11/4), Confident Star (5/1), Superior Force (14/1), Mercurial (40/1)

This looks to rest between SILKEN LADDER and Warren Beach on form with preference for Joseph Murphy's improving filly who is taken to complete her hat-trick at the expense of Ken Condon's thriving gelding. Confident Star appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
