10/1

Didn't match expectations last back-end but still at Ballydoyle and shaped with promise on return to action in a Bellewstown 1m4f handicap in August. Looks opposable.

Forecasts

Sayar (6/4), Crecerelle (7/1), Got Trumped (7/1), Madrid (10/1), Aircraft Carrier (11/1), War Diary (12/1), Shakespear'sgalley (12/1), Samasthiti (14/1), Epaneema (16/1), Black Noah (20/1), Grasping At Straws (20/1), Tipitena (25/1), Lost Comet (33/1), Redemptorist (33/1), Eagle Crag (40/1), Sigismund (66/1)

The likable and genuine CRECERELLE can land the spoils here and can grab his slice of luck after hitting the frame on his last four starts over a variety of trips including a second of five beaten ½L on heavy ground in April. The Willie Mullins-trained Sayar is likely to be popular in the market and can transpire to be the biggest danger, along with the Jessica Harrington-trained Got Trumped who caught the eye on heavy ground at Listowel last month when making his debutover this trip. War Diary and Shakespear'sgalley deserve a second glance and will appreciate the conditions.
