Finished fourth on his seasonal debut at Limerick last month and followed that up with a good third at Cork over 7f nine days ago. Likely to prove hard to beat with a visor applied for the first time.
Unraced son of Zebedee purchased for €200,000 as a yearling in 2015. Half-brother to the useful miler Queen Catrine and worth a check in the market on debut.
Improved on his debut at Naas when finishing runner-up over an extended 7f at Tipperary (soft) last month but disappointed at Navan subsequently. Interesting if reproducing that second start.
Stayed on into fourth in an 18 runner extended 1m maiden at Cork (good-to-yielding) a month ago. Has been gelded since and likely to play a leading role in this contest.
Beaten 7¼L into eighth when contesting a 7f maiden at Limerick (good) last time out. Yard have had a few winners of late (5/35) but likely to find a few too good here.
Unraced gelded son of Dream Ahead purchased for €30,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to 1m winner Lass Vega and wears a visor for his debut today.
Forecasts
Muzbid (6/5), Nigg Bay (5/2), Diarist (5/1), Kendwar (10/1), One Liner (12/1), Furud (16/1), Phantasmagorical (50/1), Jamington (66/1)
The application of a visor for the first time can see DIARIST get off the mark at the fourth time of asking for his in form stable. The selection finished third last time out and can go two better to see off Muzbid, who stayed on well when fourth last time out while Kendwar can put a disappointing effort at Navan behind him by taking third in this.
