7/1

€5,000 3-y-o, £10,000 4-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Breguet Boy. Dam unreliable maiden on Flat (stayed 1¼m). Fourth completed start in Irish points (May 9).

Form: PF-4

Downtown Nashville³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| BF

6/5

€45,000 Order of St George gelding who made the frame on both completed starts in Irish points and shaped like a stayer when third of 11 in 2m bumper at Uttoxeter on Rules debut last month. Obvious contender in a thin race.

Form: 2P-43

Game Shadow⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell

13/8

Tirwanako gelding who shaped best of those from out of the back when fourth of 11 in 2m Tramore bumper on debut for Paul Power in late May. Should build on that and has leading claims.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Downtown Nashville (6/5), Game Shadow (13/8), Captain Mainwaring (11/2), Dark Tide Rising (7/1)

GAME SHADOW shaped well behind a subsequent winner on his Tramore debut for Paul Power in late May and is narrowly preferred to Downtown Nashville, who suggested he's in need of longer trips on his first start under Rules at Uttoxeter.
