Aesop's Fables²⁰

11/4

Smart colt. Off 5 months before a fading seventh of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race at this C&D (soft) 20 days ago. Trainer going well so he holds leading claims with that run under his belt.

Crispy Cat^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 98| D

Fairly useful colt. First run since leaving Jorge Delgado when 6 lengths eighth of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race (16/1) at this C&D (soft) 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

So Majestic^h,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C D Hayes| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 70| CD

150/1

C&D winner who recorded a respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 8 days ago. Faces no easy ask in this grade, however.

Form: 07-4554

Betsen²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Davison| OR: 102

2/1

Progressive filly who comes here on the back of an excellent head second of 13 to Givemethebeatboys in listed race at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 16/1) 22 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 242

Forecasts

Betsen (2/1), Aesop's Fables (11/4), The Highway Rat (4/1), Dun Na Sead (8/1), Ano Syra (17/2), Twilight Jet (14/1), Crispy Cat (16/1), So Majestic (150/1)

AESOP'S FABLES should be all the better for his reappearance run so Aidan O'Brien's smart colt looks the way to go. Betsen is much less exposed and rates the chief threat on the back of his excellent Navan runner-up effort, while returning duo Dun Na Sead and Ano Syra can't be discounted either.
