Ballinrobe claiming winner for Gavin Cromwell in June but showed no aptitude for hurdling on yard debut at Tipperary (2m) in July and again well held back on the Flat at Cork (10f) later last month. Passed over here.

Forecasts

Nurburgring (7/4), Malbay Madness (2/1), St Faz (11/4), Kyogo (10/3), Thats Jet (13/2), Show No Fear (8/1), Pigeon House (16/1), Justwatchmedance (66/1), Stone Crafter (66/1), Reel Her In (80/1), Where R U Now Bob (80/1), Ifitwasme (100/1), Bedelia (150/1), Cletus (150/1)

NURBURGRING and Malbay Madness both appeal as types to make their mark in this sphere representing good yards and could well be the pair to focus on. The former reached a useful level on the Flat and earns the vote. St Faz, another recent winner on the level, and Show No Fear complete the shortlist.
