By Camelot out of a smart 6f-1m winner; second at Killarney (1m, good) in July and asserted by 4l when 1-2 in another maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft) eight weeks ago; plenty to find on form but his hugely powerful yard had eight entries before the declaration stage and this is the one they've gone with, so he needs major respect.

Son of Camelot made a very pleasing debut to finish second over 1m at Killarney.; ought to improve plenty for that experience and Wayne Lordan takes over from a 7lb claimer; yard has already won a couple of maidens this week and would be no surprise if they added another one here.

Had a tough trip when staying on for an eyecatching fifth in a 1m Killarney maiden on debut behind some nice types and was then third behind Shackleton (third in Zetland last week) at the Curragh last month; doesn't look the biggest but seems tough and genuine and his latest effort at the Curragh just about sets the standard here; should go well if he handles softer ground.
