11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good, 5/1) 3 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Stable in good form but others preferred racing over 1m again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 56

17/2

Creditable second here in May but below form sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 37 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back.

33/1

9/1

Second at Down Royal (7f, good) in May and ran to similar level when seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Perhaps still not the easiest ride but holds place claims.

Forecasts

Saffredi (5/2), Bizarre Dreams (11/4), Dolce Far Niente (4/1), Apollo Prince (8/1), Poppadom (17/2), Star Sailor (9/1), Newfire (10/1), St Laurence's Gate (12/1), Aisling Oscar (16/1), The Man Above (16/1), Dreamline Amelia (33/1), Mama Zonia (40/1), Lightning Legs (50/1)

SAFFREDI has been knocking on the door of late and Gavin Cromwell's gelding can gain reward for several solid efforts. Dolce Far Niente wasn't at her best behind the selection at Bellewstown earlier in the week but remains of interest on the form her Ballinrobe second, with Gordon Elliott's Lightning Legs appealing as the type to improve now handicapping.
