Gun Carriage³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

11/10

Promising type. Third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 34 days ago. That was a pretty good maiden and, with improvement on the cards, he should prove hard to beat.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Gun Carriage (11/10), Standard Deviation (6/4), Dancingondiamonds (7/1), Washington Street (18/1), Valorous Power (20/1), Nepal (22/1), Brandon Creek (33/1), Bold Spirit (150/1), Master Of Puppets (200/1), Monroe Dasher (300/1)

GUN CARRIAGE was easy to back ahead of his debut at Leopardstown but he shaped with considerable promise in the race itself, finishing third to stablemate Stay True, who subsequently went close in the Lingfield Derby Trial on Saturday. This drop in trip looks a good move and he is the clear pick. Standard Deviation didn't shape at all badly on his introduction at Gowran and he is preferred to the Joseph O'Brien-trained newcomers Dancingondiamonds and Valorous Power for forecast purposes.
