Red Sabor^b⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Slattery| OR: 84| D

11/4

Career-best effort when landing scoring over this trip on good ground at Bellewstown seven days ago. Up 3lb but should go well again and firm ground would likely be a plus.

Mur Hiba³²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Smullen| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 95

2/1

Filly was second in a Curragh Group 3 over this trip when last spotted, having previously won her maiden at the same track. Long absence to defy but entitled to go very close if she's anywhere close to full tilt.

Solar Halo²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 90| D

7/2

Maiden winner at the Curragh over 6f in May, hasn't really built on that in two further runs but drop to 5f may suit and not done away with yet.

Form: 474-137

11/4

Both wins have come on the AW, remains 0/10 on turf though has run well on the surface. Others appeal more for win purposes here however.

Forecasts

Mur Hiba (2/1), Music Box (2/1), Red Sabor (11/4), Swish (11/4), Solar Halo (7/2)

Music Box recovered from a sketchy start to win at Naas last time but it has already been a hectic campaign and a similarly sloppy beginning could be fatal now tackling 5f for the first time. Mur Hiba's runner-up finish in a Group 3 last year is respected but she has a long absence to defy here and so SOLAR HALO gets the nod. She was a very good maiden winner at the Curragh in May and though she's let herself down since in two runs, she's surely capable of better. Red Sabor produced a career-best at Bellewstown a week ago and is set to go well once more.
