Cruiscin Lan²³

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (9f, good) 23 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Worth a market check stepping up to a distance that should suit.

Forecasts

Master Dunraven (3/1), Notturno (7/2), Fratas (7/1), Macinamillion (7/1), St Faz (17/2), Cruiscin Lan (10/1), Bright N Shine (11/1), Evening's Empire (12/1), Rauzan (12/1), Siouxanne (12/1), Glyde Ranger (12/1), Alluring (16/1), Chica Linda (20/1), Slaney Tide (22/1), Stone Crafter (25/1), Lady Pro (40/1), North Dorset (50/1)

NOTTURNO was unlucky not to finish closer when fifth at Killarney 11 days ago and, if things drop right, he might be capable of opening his account. Slaney Tide is an obvious danger having improved to score at Naas last time and Rauzan merits respect in first-time headgear.
