Bligh²⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

€130,000 yearling, Camelot colt. Makes little appeal based on what he has shown in a couple of initial career starts in August/September last term unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

No Nay Never colt whose price rose from €8,000 to €75,000 as a yearling. Well held on second start at the Curragh when last seen in September, stepping up in trip following encouraging debut at Naas in April 2019. May need the run.

Forecasts

Jungle Cove (7/4), Maker Of Kings (7/2), Emiyn (6/1), Sounds Of Spring (13/2), St James's Square (7/1), Ming Warrior (15/2), Radical Approach (16/1), Bligh (18/1), Mosala (25/1), Kodiac Prince (33/1), Tuned For Power (66/1), Porter Rockwell (66/1), Power And Pace (125/1), Third Avenue (125/1), Tipperary Moon (125/1), Differentiate (150/1)

The Jessica Harrington-trained JUNGLE COVE can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking for connections to shed his maiden tag. The Mastercraftsman colt is clearly better than a couple of defeats suggested when last seen in September and can rubber-stamp the well-being of the yard in this contest at the expense of Maker Of Kings on debut for trainer Ger Lyons. The Aga Khan-owned and Dermot Weld-trained, Emiyn has shaped well on both career starts so far and should be given serious consideration as post time approaches, while Sounds Of Spring and Bligh could be capable of hitting the frame.
