Listed winner at two when based in Britain and ran okay on occasions when highly tried as a 3yo; below best in two runs since a gelding operation, the latest here on yard debut; ability respected but current wellbeing is an issue.

J: Donagh O’Connor

Useful 2yo in Britain (Listed 7f winner) and ran some fair races in the face of stiff tasks as a 3yo; returned from a 217-day absence at Lingfield on AW (7f, 15-8 fav) in February, having been gelded, but folded quickly; makes stable debut now, but needs to return to his best to win in a contest where others are treated slightly better by race conditions.

AW maiden winner and Listed second for Charlie Appleby last year; didn't cut much ice in three starts at Meydan for Bhupat Seemar and now makes debut for Andy Slattery; yard looks to have stronger claims with Loughrea, so likely best watched.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 3yo narrowly denied on first two starts in 7f maidens and off the mark last month in similar Fairyhouse contest, making much of the running; much better form in between when beaten just over 7l in Irish 2,000 Guineas; big player if running to his current mark of 102.

Narrowly denied on first two starts in 7f maidens at Naas (yld-sft) and Gowran (yld); not disgraced when pitched into Group 1 company at the Curragh last time (1m, good); rated 102 and the one to beat back in these calmer waters.

Disappointed when a beaten favourite on sole start at two but much better form this year; close second over this C&D (good) on return in May; justified short odds to win an ordinary maiden at Limerick by 6l on latest (1m, good); rated 89 so a fair bit to find with Straight Up, but going the right way and his yard remains in terrific form.

Frankel brother to yard's smart Group 3 winner Red Letter; well fancied on sole 2yo outing but looked raw and met trouble in running; reappeared with tongue-tie fitted for much improved effort last month at Killarney, clear with odds-on winner over this trip; looks the one to beat.

Son of Mayson cost 60,000GBP at the breeze-ups and (having run in a barrier trial) made winning debut in 6f Naas maiden last September, green enough but strong at the finish on yielding-to-soft; belated seasonal return (having been gelded) with ground coming in his favour and blinkers fitted; market should be interesting.

Betting Forcast

11/4 Benevento, 20/1 Felix Guido, 20/1 Bold Style, 13/2 Gleneagle Bay, 100/1 Inventor, 5/2 Bamako Beach, 11/2 Res Ipsa, 8/1 Roaring Fire, 6/1 Bella Isabella

Verdict

An interesting race. Bamako Beach heads the ratings, that figure based on his Irish Guineas seventh. It may flatter him and preference is for BENEVENTO (nap), who arrives on the back of a good Gowran win and from a yard in good form. Gleneagle Bay, Bella Isabella and the less exposed 3yo Res Ipsa hold place claims, while the real dark horse is the once-raced Roaring Fire. [Alan Hewison]
