Gelding by Arcadio out of a Muroto mare. Fourth of eight beaten 1¾L in an April point-to-point. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut under rules.
Lord Du Sud gelding out of a French bred mare. Half-brother to Djean Rock, winner in France at up to 2m2f over the larger obstacles. Entitled to have designs on prize money on debut given respected connections.
Gelding by Arcadio out of a Heron Island mare. Cost €110,000 as a three-year-old. Brother to two winners including The Game Changer. Likely to improve on promising debut finishing fourth of 16 beaten 7¼L on debut at Navan last month.
Mustameet filly out of a Kahyasi mare. Half-sister to two winners on the Flat. Down the field on a disappointing debut at Naas when last seen in February. Plenty to find on that offering.
Daughter of Milan out of a Presenting mare. Closely related to bumper winner Aye Right and Theatre Dreams, dual winner over the larger obstacles at 2m4f. One of two main protagonists for leading yard.
Daughter of Dylan Thomas out of a Linamix mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler, Pinnacle Panda and 3m hurdle winner Seven Acres. One to have on any shortlist.
Filly by Dylan Thomas who finished fifth of nine on a promising debut run at Naas over 2m before a set back in May finishing a well held sixth of 16 beaten 35L. Needs to improve significantly.
Forecasts
One Down (4/5), Fitness Du Sud (4/1), Little Blue Hero (13/2), Yabo (7/1), Castlegrange (12/1), Rann Of Kutch (14/1), Born In Galway (33/1), Lauderdale Lady (66/1)
The experience of a previous run could pay dividends in the finale' for the Gordon Elliott-trained ONE DOWN. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding will have a couple of dangers from the Willie Mullins yard in the shape of newcomers Fitness Du Sud and daughter of Milan, Little Blue Hero. Realistically, Rann Of Kutch is the only other contender to consider making her first appearance for trainer Mags Mullins.
