Kyogo^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: G Elliott

5/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Ran to a similar leve when third on Killarney hurdle debut in July and possibly unsuited by softer ground when well held back there since. Cheekpieces added now. Likely to go well.

Form: 38

30/100

Fair maiden on the Flat and has made a sound start to her hurdling career, placing on all 3 starts, the latest at Down Royal 10 days ago. The one to beat for top Irish stable.

Forecasts

Doctor Nightingale (30/100), Lord Sam's Castle (5/2), Kyogo (5/1), Ironopolis (15/2), Expert Lady (14/1)

As usual, Gordon Elliott has been knocking in the winners on a regular basis here this summer and he might be good for a 1-2 in this opener, with DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE, the mount of the season's leading jockey Sean Bowen, preferred to Kyogo.
