Oasis Dream colt, finished fifth of 11 in maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) on debut but took a big step forward when runner-up at Listowel last time. More progress likely here.

6/1

Kodiac filly, cost 40,000 gns as a foal and 52,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister tot three winners over similar trips and dam was a winner over this trip and stayed further. Some promise in two starts but likely to need more here.

Forecasts

Understate (11/8), California Jumbo (3/1), Manzil (4/1), Kodi Koh (6/1), Griffyndor (8/1), Great Grey (50/1)

UNDERSTATE is the one to side with here after an impressive run last time at Listowel. Manzil should take a step forward from his debut while Kodi Koh has run okay on two starts to date and could progress further for these connections.
