Form & Verdict
Won Bellewstown maiden last year and decent second in Roscommon winners' contest, best efforts; encouraging comeback run in Madrid Handicap at Naas in late March, staying on late into fourth over inadequate 7f; step up in trip seems sure to suit and top-weight should go well.

Won a Bellewstown maiden over 1m (good) before outclassed in a Group 3; better again when runner-up in a 7.5f Roscommon conditions race on soft (form just okay); pressed winner before weakening quickly into a 13.5l fifth of five at Listowel when last seen (1m, heavy); others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark in 1m AW maiden in October on last of three juvenile outings; very promising seasonal return in 1m Naas premier handicap in late April, staying on well in closing stages when beaten 1l into fourth (Son Of Beauty 2.75l away fifth); big player given normal improvement and longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Rapid improver of late, twice runner-up on AW last autumn and has reappeared for back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at Limerick and when running away late on under today's rider here last month; every chance of staying this extra furlong and could still have more to offer despite 16lb rise for two wins.

Breakthrough win at Cork (1m, soft) on latest, outpaced before coming from the back to score by 0.5l; looked better the further he went so this longer trip should suit; this is harder but should go well again off 5lb higher if handles quicker ground (brother won on good to firm).

Promise in maidens last year at 7f-1m; left disappointing seasonal return behind to finish 1.75l behind Arctic Assassin at the Curragh (1m, soft) two weeks ago; should get closer on these terms; big chance.

Form & Verdict
Cheaply bought Time Test colt showed fair form in three outings late last season, latter two in good-class Curragh maidens when intimating a step up in trip would suit; lack of a recent run a concern here on seasonal return and handicap debut.

Yard in form but this colt produced two moderate efforts in maidens last season at Tipperary (7f, yielding) and the Curragh (7f, yld-sft); probably best watched upped in trip on seasonal return.

Betting Forcast

13/2 Red Autumn, 12/1 Son Of Beauty, 9/2 Howsthebai, 100/30 Monvoe, 10/1 Johnny Soda, 16/1 Ryefield Dasher, 14/1 Sunrush, 15/8 Sweet Baby Zou

Verdict

Having shown much improved form to win at Gowran on Monday in similar conditions, SWEET BABY ZOU could take some beating off a light weight, despite a 7lb penalty. The in-form Monvoe, along with How’sthebai and Red Autumn look next best. [Alan Hewison]
