Lightly-raced gelding on Flat. 14/1, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 19 days ago, left with lot to do. Probably needs to up his game if he's to get off the mark in this.

Twice-raced colt. 7/2, fourth of 7 in maiden at Cork (12.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Sets the standard and another step up in trip should suit.

Promising type. Seventh of 13 in maiden (66/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Thomas Coleman. Open to progress and worth taking a chance on.

9/4

Once-raced colt. Seventh of 10 in maiden (16/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) on debut. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. May do better.

Forecasts

Alonzo (11/8), Man Of Worth (9/4), Bladon (3/1), Evans Secret (8/1), Jinxs Link (22/1), Ages Of Man (33/1), Big Smoke (125/1), Crazy Warrior (150/1)

BLADON shaped with encouragement at a big price on debut 10 months ago and, while not seen since, he's joined a top stable since and has the potential for much better, so he's marginally preferred to stablemate Alonzo, who sets the standard on what's been achieved to this point. Evans Secret should typically give his running but may come up short for ability.
