6/4

Finished third of 12 in a maiden at Navan (14/1) 13 days ago, doing best work late with just hands-and-heels riding. Should improve for this step up in trip and good claims.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Making only second start after finishing seventh of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (50/1) 48 days ago. Dropping back in trip to 6f may prove beneficial.

Forecasts

Charles Fort (11/8), Strike Zone (6/4), Unionville (11/2), That's No Joke (8/1), A La Dure (18/1), Kc Bear (33/1), Doitforjill Ronnie (80/1), Sunrise Angel (100/1), Big Bill (125/1), St Gobnait's Charm (300/1)

STRIKE ZONE caught the eye when finishing third at Navan on debut, doing his best work late, and can open his account with improvement on the way up in trip. Charles Fort is the obvious danger.
