2/1

Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 7/1) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Benavente (2/1), Might And Mercy (10/3), Jaafel (9/2), Is That Love (11/2), Secret Road (7/1), Rocky Dreams (9/1), Texas Sun (12/1), Yester (14/1), Poet's Pride (40/1), Just Another (100/1), Najat (100/1), Short N Sweet (150/1)

MIGHT AND MERCY needs to shrug off a lesser effort on turf 4 weeks ago but the pick of her exploits have come over this C&D and, eased in class, she could be worth chancing to bounce back. Benavente and Is That Love are a couple of others to consider.
