50/1

Fascinating Rock gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 5f winner Wizz Kid and smart 7.5f-1¼m winner Mustaheel. Interesting on paper, so interesting to see if he attracts any support.

5/1

Promising sort. Seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (10f, good, 9/1) on debut 35 days ago. Should have learned plenty from that, so he's open to improvement.

€100,000 yearling, Aclaim colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Qatar Man and 5f/6f winner Theriverrunsdeep. Dam lightly raced in US. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Expelliarmus (2/1), Space Age (5/2), Pittsford (5/1), Reclaim (6/1), Pink Sorrel (11/1), Ghost Dance (16/1), Parish Centre (20/1), Beyond The Steps (20/1), Let's Avit (25/1), Highland Rahy (28/1), Neowise (28/1), Altitudeadjustment (50/1), Hot Moon (80/1), Gardone (125/1), Capernoity (200/1)

EXPELLIARMUS improved markedly from her debut and was better than the result when third in a Navan maiden last time, so she's a confident choice to open her account at the likely expense of Space Age. Pittsford is likely to benefit from his initial experience at this course, so he's expected to get closer this time.
