Humaniste¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 82

8/1

Heavy ground winner earlier in his career in France and also over hurdles for this yard at Fairyhouse last November. Last of seven at Bellewstown on the level latest and faces a thankless task here on ratings.

Form: 6/1482-7

Lustrous Light^p,t²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: J Motherway| OR: 82

12/1

Had bits and pieces of form three years ago but has finished last in his last three outings after varying lengths of absence and is rated 28lb inferior to the top pair.

Form: 336/779-

Max Dynamite²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 110| BF| C

1/7

2m Group Two winner and £2m Melbourne Cup second over the same trip ran well enough when third (as favourite) in marathon Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot on return and for all this is sharp enough his claims are clear.

Form: 77268-3

Newlands^h1³⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: E J O'Grady| OR: 95

12/1

Prolific scorer in Singapore but failed to fire in two UK starts for Charlie Fellowes last season. Market may guide on stable debut in a first-time hood but every chance he proves third best.

Form: 004600-

First To Boogie¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: M Tylicki⁽⁷⁾| T: Madeleine Tylicki

25/1

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner but well held in both starts on the level and looks firmly up against it here and like most in the line up will see third as a success.

Form: 3-5

(3)

Bobby Jean^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss C E Callanan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T L Cogan| OR: 54

80/1

Three-time winner rated 56lb inferior to top pair. Impossible task.

Forecasts

Max Dynamite (1/7), The King (6/4), Humaniste (8/1), Lustrous Light (12/1), Newlands (12/1), First To Boogie (25/1), Bobby Jean (80/1)

An interesting clash this between 110-rated pair THE KING and Max Dynamite and although 1m6f is an absolute maximum for Jessica Harrington's four-year-old it still may suit him better than Max Dynamite who likes to come from off the pace over 2m plus. Whether Patrick Mullins tries to change tactics to bring his stamina to the fore will be interesting but The King is expected to have too much kick for him over this trip. Newlands is best of the rest but very much up against it.
