Gobi Star²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Chris Hayes| T: E Lynam| OR: 67

9/4

Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Creditable second of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 7/2) 24 days ago, just failing. No reason why he won't be in the mix again.

Cavallo Pazzo^t¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: E Doyle

9/1

Once-raced gelding. Well backed, lost all chance having blown the start when eleventh of 17 in maiden at Tipperary (5f) back in May. Kept on under hands-and-heels ride then and likely there's plenty more to come.

Thrice-raced filly who improved on pair of exploits as a 2-y-o when third in 8-runner C&D maiden 24 days ago, keeping on when not clear run well inside final 1f. May build on that now.

Form: 67-3

£24,000 2-y-o, Iffraaj filly. 50/1, shaped as if needing experience when sixth of 17 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) on debut 7 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver.

Forecasts

Gobi Star (9/4), Greek Flower (9/2), Hector Berlioz (9/2), Echoing (9/2), Aurora Nova (7/1), Cavallo Pazzo (9/1), Magical Vision (16/1), Wild Eyed Girl (25/1), Lucy's Max (33/1)

The subject of significant support, CAVALLO PAZZO lost all chance at the start when finishing eleventh of 17 in a Tipperary maiden on debut back in May. He ought to have derived plenty from that and in a maiden lacking depth, he could be worth chancing to build on that now. Hector Berlioz and Gobi Star are others fancied to be in the mix.
