Useful colt. Returned from 6 months off to win Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown last April. Tailed off in Derby at Epsom 8 weeks later. Not seen since but evidently very capable when fresh. Makes polytrack debut.

Raced only at Dundalk, posting a useful effort when taking his record to 3-5 in 2m handicap 21 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly back down in trip. David Egan seems to prefer Dallas Star.

Forecasts

Dallas Star (7/4), Barnso (9/4), Persian Bliss (7/2), San Andreas (4/1), Solomon (25/1)

SAN ANDREAS is at the veteran stage now but is still very capable, particularly here, and can make the most of the weight he receives from returning Ballysax winner Dallas Star, who hasn't been seen finishing down the field in the Epsom Derby.
