9/2

A winner on debut at Roscommon on heavy ground and not disgraced at the Curragh last time out in Group company. Still very early days and there could be more to come up in trip here.

4/5

Dansili half-brother to outstanding middle-distance filly Enable among other winners. Won readily on debut in a Leopardstown 1m2f maiden last month and another bold show looks likely here.

Forecasts

Centroid (4/5), Saracen Knight (4/1), Boho (9/2), Holding Pattern (6/1), Little Princess (100/1)

The Dansili colt CENTROID can continue his progression here following a facile win on reacecourse debut in a Leopardstown 1m2f maiden last month and can see off the attentions of the Aiden O'Brien-trained Saracen Knight and Holding Pattern from the Jessica Harrington yard who appear to be the biggest dangers.
