15/8

Useful horse who made the most of a good opportunity under a no-nonsense ride when winning 3-runner minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good, 2/5) 13 days ago, dictating and asserting final 100 yds. Big player again in this company.

Form: 44-6891

16/1

Useful at his best but more miss than hit since joining current yard, again failing to beat a rival in 5-runner minor event at Naas (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Step back up in trip needs to spark a revival.

Form: 7-74085

Nautical Force²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 99| BF

8/15

Successful in a Cork maiden on return in April and enhanced his form in defeat subsequently, excellent fourth in King George V handicap at Royal Ascot (12f) in June. Beaten at short odds in a similar small-field contest as this at Navan (10.2f) since but he remains one to be positive about.

Forecasts

Nautical Force (8/15), Crypto Force (15/8), Cristal Clere (9/4), Wahdan (16/1)

Just the 4 runners and this could become tactical. CRYPTO FORCE made the most of a good opportunity when registering his first success since his 2-y-o days from the front in a similar contest 13 days ago and he could be worth siding with to pull off similar tactics given he's still low-mileage at this sort of trip. Cristal Clere may emerge next best, ahead of 3-y-o Nautical Force.
