Poorly handicapped on balance of his form, so excuses for heavy defeats in a couple of handicap starts, but his form in maidens has been regressive, and more severe headgear tried after latest flop when wearing cheekpieces.

Gregorian half-brother to several winners including 7f scorer Weekendatbernies. Green on debut at Dundalk last week, but made some late progress, and should do better, with pedigree suggesting he'll handle the mud.

Runner-up twice at Dundalk in the winter, but has shown regressive form on turf since August return. Remains one to oppose on this surface.

8/1
In the frame several times in 1m handicaps earlier in the campaign, but his good run of form has come to a halt on recent starts. Hopes rest on drop in trip helping him see things out better.

4/6
This son of Scat Daddy cost $1,000,000 last year, and while he was ostensibly disappointing when down the field on his debut at the Curragh in August, he's sure to come on for that, and merits maximum respect for his in-form yard.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: J H Scott| OR:  56

Placed over 5f here last September, but her efforts otherwise last autumn were poor, and she isn't easy to fancy returning from a 12-month absence.

Cactus Tree14
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen(5)| T: M C Grassick| OR:  56

Disappointing filly given her pedigree, although ran one of her better races when 4¾L third of 11 to Strong Johnson in a 5f maiden here last time. Needs to build on that.

Dark Angel filly whose granddam was European champion juvenile filly. Far from disgraced when seventh of 17 in a 6f maiden at the Curragh last month. Type to do a fair bit better with experience.

Mk Dramat11
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: P W Flynn| OR:  68
3/1
Well-related filly who showed much-improved form when head third of 16 to Blacklooks on handicap debut at Limerick last time. Needs to prove she can repeat that, but has strong claims on form if doing so.

Wondrous Scene119
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon
12/1
Shaped well when sixth of 20 in a 6f maiden at Naas (soft) in March, and although she couldn't repeat that after a break there last time, she should be suited by a return to softer ground.

Forecasts

Yale (4/6), Mk Drama (3/1), Starlite Dancer (8/1), Wondrous Scene (12/1), Oneiroi (14/1), Gregorio Park (16/1), Cactus Tree (20/1), Gabrielle Noir (25/1), Born In The U S A (33/1), Amaretto Stone (50/1)

15:25 Navan - 23 October 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

YALE failed to justify market support on his debut, but the very fact that connections are happy to persevere shows that he's considered up to a winning a modest event like this, and he's preferred to strict form choice MK Drama. Gabrielle Noir has plenty to find on form, but shaped as if sure to improve on her sole start to date, and this well-bred filly can make the frame if improving as expected.
