Consistent performer in turf maidens with 3 fourth place finishes last season. Improvement required now handicapping down in trip on return but that is possible.

33/1

On a long losing run but wasn't seen to best effect when third at Lingfield latest, ridden too aggressively. Has left Simon Dow.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 67| D

Zabriskie Point^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 67

Noble Nation¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Shane Foley| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 66| CD

4/1

Impressive winner of this race on heavy ground 12 months ago on return. Well held all 3 starts since but no surprise if he bounced back with a bang.

Form: 51/1000-

Edmond Halley^p1¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Carroll| T: K P Cotter| OR: 65

Mehmar^p,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: N Slevin| OR: 62| CD

16/1

Last win came over C&D as a 3-y-o. Generally struggled since but off a career-low mark and booking of Colin Keane catches the eye.

Form: 60-6366

(15)

Tai Tam Bay^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 62| BF| CD

5/1

Sole win from 27 runs came over C&D almost 2 years ago but only just failed to end that losing run at the Curragh last week having been well backed. Needs considering.

Form: 0443-42

Fontaine Khaled¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: E & P Harty| OR: 64

8/1

Showed promise on debut and excuses both starts since. Opening mark a stiff one, though, and entitled to be sharper for this.

Form: 797-

Unfamiliar^h³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: K Smith| OR: 59

Forecasts

Noble Nation (4/1), Mickey The Steel (5/1), Tai Tam Bay (5/1), Magical Vision (6/1), Eichan San (7/1), Sovereign Banter (15/2), Fontaine Khaled (8/1), Reposado (10/1), Exceeding (14/1), Mehmar (16/1), Kilmood Susan (18/1), Zabriskie Point (25/1), Edmond Halley (25/1), Unfamiliar (28/1), Mc Loven (33/1), Heart Of Eternity (125/1)

NOBLE NATION was out of form when last seen but he ran out a most taking winner of this race on his return last season so could be worth chancing. Reposado and Tai Tam Bay head the dangers.
