1/1

Will have disappointed influential connection on a couple of occasions last season but patience has appeared to have paid off following a promising second of 17 beaten a little over 1L at Gowran Park on return to action last month. Leading player.

King Con⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: A L T Moore

40/1

Rio De La Plata gelding out of a Montjeu mare. Cost $6,500 as a yearling. Likely to improve on debut run at Roscommon in August but still looks a tough ask.

16/1

Newcomer by Oasis Dream is a half-brother to a French 1m1f winner out of an unraced Galileo mare. Slowly in to stride on debut at the Curragh in August and may need more time.

Forecasts

Fightfortheroses (1/1), Crecerelle (5/1), Aircraft Carrier (6/1), Leaderboard (13/2), Redemptorist (12/1), Eagle Crag (12/1), Make The Switch (12/1), Tickled (16/1), Media City (20/1), Made For You (33/1), King Con (40/1), Baratheon (50/1), Walking On Glass (50/1)

Trainer Aidan O'Brien appears to have found an ideal opening for his Galileo colt FIGHTFORTHEROSES to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking here following an impressive return to the track at Gowran Park recently. The Dermot Weld-trained Crecerelle in first-time visor is sure to be in the mix again after a couple of solid runs this term, while Leaderboard and Eagle Crag can fight for the minor honours.
