10/11

Useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Gowran in May. Good sixth of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 11/4) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Yard having good spell so needs considering.

Form: 224-216

11/4

Fairly useful gelding who arrives in good form, run best ignored (badly hampered) when seventh of 8 in minor event at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm, 3/1) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Forecasts

Storm Piece (10/11), Iceford (5/2), First Wave (5/2), Mathan (11/4), Fingerpaint (4/1), Kodilicious (12/1), Gran Habano (16/1)

MATHAN holds the edge on form and is fancied to bounce back in style having suffered a very poor run when seventh at Leopardstown last time. Iceford also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of First Wave and Gran Habano.
