8/1

Son of Kodi Bear who left his debut effort behind when fifth of 11 in maiden at Navan (5.8f) in April. Below that level on qualifying run at Roscommon (7.7f) a month later but gelded ahead of return and another who may well step up now handicapping.

(4)

Merchants Arch²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 64

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 12 in nursery at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 33/1) 25 days ago, never better than midfield. Eased 3 lb ahead of this but he needs to pull out a little more.

UNIQUE JOURNEY produced his best effort to date and left the distinct impression he can do better again when third on nursery debut at Navan (5.8f) 3 weeks ago, running on encouragingly when finally in the clear. He gets the nod to confirm the promise of that effort upped in trip, with Now and Your Call rating next best. Source Code is a handicap debutant to note with blinkers reached for.
