Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, first run since leaving Andrew Oliver when tenth of 14 in maiden at Roscommon (10.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago. That was his first start for 13 months and he may yet have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 50-0

11/2

11/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 60 days ago, noted travelling smoothly before shaping like a non-stayer. Mark has eased a little more and he could well be worth chancing to put it all together down in trip.

Form: 540-654

High Altitude⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy| OR: 66| D

28/1

Form: 5809-09

Forecasts

Mary Salome (5/2), Run The Jewels (4/1), Satono Chevalier (11/2), Blackcastle Storm (11/2), Church Mountain (7/1), Ask Delaney (15/2), Action Motion (8/1), Rosie Rock (17/2), The Alpha Man (9/1), My Minervina (10/1), Nevada Brave (11/1), Talking Tough (12/1), Inveterate (14/1), Bears Hug (14/1), Brewel Hill (16/1), Stormy Jenn (16/1), War Hero (22/1), Big Belief (22/1), High Altitude (28/1)

BLACKCASTLE STORM hasn't tasted success for some time but he boasted a decent record fresh when trained by Richard Hughes and, from a much-reduced mark, it would come as no surprise to see him go well on yard debut with the booking of Colin Keane catching the eye. Satono Cheavlier, back down at 1m, and Mary Salome are others to consider, along with Run The Jewels.
