Tribal Nation²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 92

1/3

Maiden winner at Galway in the autumn and much improved in hot 3-y-o handicaps the last twice, sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last month, doing really well from where he was placed. This could be a good opening.

Form: 521-536

Barbizon¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: J J Murphy

12/1

€2,000 yearling, King of Change gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Velocistar and 7f winner Raneen. 8/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 17 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement.

Form: 5

Bold Spirit⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy

50/1

€16,000 foal, €19,000 yearling, Make Believe colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Leshlaa and winner up to 8.6f Mulzamm, both smart. 150/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at this course (8.1f, good) on debut 62 days ago, slowly away.

Form: 8

Rion Rubette²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M W Hassett⁽³⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 86

3/1

Career best when easily winning 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Limerick (7f, good) 23 days ago, quickening clear. Should stay new trip and clearly going to be bang there.

Form: 4-88821

Forecasts

Tribal Nation (1/3), Rion Rubette (3/1), Barbizon (12/1), Bold Spirit (50/1)

A match on paper between TRIBAL NATION and Limerick winner Rion Rubette. Joseph O'Brien's charge ran a huge race in the Britannia and looks the class act.
