Gino Wotimean¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Noel Williams

13/2

Bred to appreciate this trip but didn't make much progress when well backed here last time out. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and may do better in that sphere.

Form: 5-5

(6)

Kinver Edge¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby

11/8

Cost €350,000 as a yearling and is bred to be highly effective on an artificial surface. Raced with the pace on debut but was caught out by inexperience as much as anything near the finish. More expected with that run behind him. Player here.

Form: 4

Uncleby³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey

25/1

Related to winners over further than this and created the impression that he needs more time with an ineffectual effort when last of eleven on debut here last month. Big improvement required.

Form: 0-

War Tiger¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

6/4

Appeals on pedigree and has shown enough in two previous starts to suggest he's capable of going on to better things. Improvement still required but looks the better option from the yard's two runners.

Form: 4-3

(1)

Withoutdestination^p1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M M Monaghan| T: M Botti

8/1

Cost €48,000 as a yearling, the gelding is out of a Dubawi mare but makes limited appeal on debut with his stable struggling for winners just now. Looks a future prospect.

Midnite Rendezvous¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: D Shaw

50/1

Made no impact in either of her previous two starts and the step up in trip needs to initiate a big amount of improvement. Stiff test ahead on the evidence available.

Form: 0-0

Forecasts

Kinver Edge (11/8), War Tiger (6/4), Gino Wotimean (13/2), Withoutdestination (8/1), Uncleby (25/1), Midnite Rendezvous (50/1)

There was plenty to like about the debut run from KINVER EDGE, who is an expensive purchase and carries the weight of expectation that goes with the investment. The son of Speightstown is related to Graded winners on the dirt in the USA and can be expected to be a lot wiser this time. War Tiger looks the best of the bunch who oppose, while a market move for Withoutdestination could be worth a speculative punt if the selection seems unsteady in the betting for any reason.
