Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade| OR: 54

18/1

No better than mid-field in 4 starts for M. C. Grassick last year, but stepped forward from his debut for this stable when sixth of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (1¼m) 15 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort back up in trip.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: P Sweeney| OR: 40| D

3/1

6-time winner at Dundalk who produced his best effort on turf of the season when third of 14 at Down Royal (11f) 3 days ago. Has a much lower mark on turf to work from, so he merits consideration now switched to a visor.

Forecasts

Autocrat (3/1), Albatala (7/2), Acanto (4/1), You Make Me Smile (11/2), Secret Rock (6/1), Tintinabulla (13/2), Grey Fable (9/1), Club Manager (12/1), Deuteronomy (14/1), Among The Pines (18/1), Zesty Belle (22/1), Duleek Street (25/1), Princess Rosie (100/1)

GREY FABLE arrives in good form, beaten only by a 3-y-o improver at Beverley last time, and is fancied to resume winning ways as he drops back in grade. Acanto took a step forward on her handicap debut and the lightly-raced 4-y-o could be the main danger, ahead of Autocrat from his much-reduced mark on turf.
