Bunyola Bay³⁸

11/2

Built on debut promise 6 months earlier when winning 5-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 2/1) 38 days ago, finding extra. Significantly up in trip, which will suit this well-bred colt but much more needed.

Form: 3-1

Camino Vino³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell

33/1

Winning debut at Dundalk over 1m in December. 22/1, 11¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Thundering On in Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1¼m, good) 37 days ago, faring about as well as could be expected fast-tracked to Group 3 company. Capable of better in the right grade.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 81| BF

Forecasts

Hardy Warrior (5/6), Perisher (11/4), Bunyola Bay (11/2), Summer Is Tomorrow (11/2), Brownstown (15/2), Satoyama (8/1), Manton Bay (12/1), Cherry Hill Girl (14/1), Killashee Warrior (14/1), Miss Romagna (16/1), Mo Mhuirin (20/1), Karrygrant (25/1), Honouramongthieves (25/1), Camino Vino (33/1), Flawless Fusion (50/1), Why Wyoming (66/1), Matilda Joslyngage (66/1), Marjorie Daw (80/1), Loch Gamhna (100/1), Louisiana (100/1)

Joseph O'Brien looks to have a stranglehold on this event with HARDY WARRIOR and Satoyama (declared 15.50 Listowel Sunday) probably the pick of his quintet. The former is a classy runner in the context of this race and is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Of the rest, Manton Bay warrants a second look.
