14/1

Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 14 Flat runs. 10/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago, not clear run. May prove vulnerable once more back in maiden company.

9/2

Forecasts

Six Feet Apart (11/8), Roman Bull (9/4), Weddell Sea (9/2), True Artist (5/1), Jaafel (14/1), Alqabeela (50/1), Comeragh Belle (150/1), Classy Kate (200/1)

A fairly useful performer on the level in France, WEDDELL SEA has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles for his present stable, successful at Roscommon in June and running his best race yet when runner-up at Sligo 4 weeks ago. He gets the nod returned to the Flat, with Six Feet Apart, Roman Bull and True Artist heading up the dangers.
