13/8

€20,000 3-y-o, £38,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (h72), ran once over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Tallow For Coal. Won sole start in Irish points (May 12). One to note.

Swingin Safari²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

11/8

Once-raced maiden. 4/1, second of 10 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.8f, soft) on NH debut. Plenty of promise on debut and has left Sam Curling and joined a top British yard since, so he's the one to beat back from 6 months off.

Form: 2-

The Sainted Canary^t1¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

4/1

Half-brother to fair chaser Tractor Fred and built on debut when runner-up at Plumpton 6 months ago. May do better again, so hard to rule out. Tongue tied.

Form: 4-2

Forecasts

Swingin Safari (11/8), Sergeant Fury (13/8), Quaviste (10/3), The Sainted Canary (4/1), Lock Stock (11/1)

SWINGIN SAFARI has joined a top yard on the back of a debut full of promise and he's taken to open his account at the second attempt. Sergeant Fury deserves respect having won a point.
