Promising individual. 33/1, second of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago, finishing well. May have won with more luck there and can improve. Leading claims.

25/1

Thrice-raced filly. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good, 13/2) 20 days ago, taking strong hold and looking awkward. Claims on previous second there but clearly still has some learning to do.

Forecasts

Clounmacon (11/8), Victoria Road (15/8), Remind (6/1), Chiketto (7/1), Wild Rover (11/1), The Wild Grazer (16/1), Jalo (25/1), Lan Mara (25/1), Jackstaff (28/1), Claycastle (33/1), Florida Taiga (40/1), Doctor Grace (150/1)

VICTORIA ROAD is improving well and looks ready for a return to this trip having finished well over 6f at Naas last week. He can get off the mark, with Clounmacon, who was perhaps unlucky not to make a winning start at the Curragh, looking the danger. Newcomer Chiketto and Lan Mara also have claims.
