Mohaather colt that was fourth of 9 in a barrier trial at Naas in May but could only finish eighth of 9 to Florida Bay in 7f minor event at Fairyhouse following month. Gelded since and now drops to 5f but is probably one for nurseries and handicaps later on.

5/1

9/1

€100,000 Mehmas filly who wasn't seen to best effect when 11¼ lengths eighth of 14 to Ballinea Star in 6f maiden at this course on debut. Shaped as if a step up in trip rather than drop would suit that day, but open to improvement.

Southern Boulevard (11/8), Arrowstock (3/1), Eagle Eclipse (5/1), Walk On Harry (11/2), Ocean Surge (9/1), Better Yet (14/1), Best Love (22/1), Always Magic (50/1), Annie Tips (66/1), Syrah (66/1), Dhikola (66/1), My Irish Lady (80/1), Nando The Great (250/1), Give Me Liberty (250/1), Stormy Dawn (300/1), Invincible Irish (400/1)

SOUTHERN BOULEVARD shaped better than the result suggests on debut before confirming that promise when third at the Curragh 26 days ago, and with further progress anticipated, she is taken to come out on top. Arrowstock sets the standard on the form of her fourth at Navan and rates the chief danger, while newcomer Eagle Eclipse is a half-brother to two sprint winners and should be sharp enough to make an impact if inheriting their early pace.
