Once-raced maiden. 9/1, third of 16 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good) on debut 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Should have more to offer.

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 16 in maiden (25/1) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Others are more appealing.

5/2

Once-raced maiden. 13/2, second of 14 in maiden at Galway (7f, soft) on debut 31 days ago. Likely to step up on that, so not without hope.

Forecasts

Think About It (5/2), Raven Darkholme (5/2), Majestic Wave (10/3), Loch Tay (7/2), Pleasant Dawn (16/1), Montpellier Green (22/1), Aherla Rock (33/1), Quarry Stone (125/1)

LOCH TAY's debut at Gowran was full of promise and he's open to improvement so, despite a 78-day break since, he's worth the chance to go one better at the likely expense of Majestic Wave, who is closely matched on form with the selection.
