7/2
Placed in 4 of 6 career starts, including two narrow runner-up finishes at Dundalk in December. Finished fifth of 15 in a handicap at Naas (18/1) 23 days ago, shaping as if needing the run after four months off. Should be sharper with that under his belt.

Came last of 20 on debut in maiden at Navan (200/1) 25 days ago, racing well off the pace throughout. May be more suited by this shorter trip with hood now removed.

Once-raced colt from a good family. Finished second of 12 in a maiden over C&D (9/4) 14 days ago, keeping on after being left behind by the winner early in the straight. Should improve for the experience.

Forecasts

Pierre Royal (4/9), Bishopton (7/2), Limbocall (5/1), Rainbow Sorbet (10/1), Rising King (18/1), Super Fly (66/1), Littlesumpinsumpin (200/1), Diamond Cross (200/1)

Verdict

PIERRE ROYAL shaped with considerable promise when a keeping-on second over C&D two weeks ago and can go one better with that experience under his belt. Bishopton has been knocking on the door with two narrow defeats at Dundalk and should strip fitter for his comeback run. Limbocall is an interesting newcomer
