J: Josh Williamson

T: Gordon Elliott

One of two runners for a yard that's won this four times; ran to a smart level on the Flat and made a winning start over hurdles, but reality checks have followed in Graded races won by tip-top juvenile Narciso Has; hardly brings momentum into his handicap debut and has a lot of weight; there will be no ground excuses.

Very useful on the Flat for John Murphy, achieving a rating of 101; ready debut hurdles winner of Navan maiden (heavy) before fourth of 10 to Narciso Has in Grade 2 over C&D at Christmas, racing a bit keenly and weakening from last (North Shore third); improvement needed but does go on testing ground.

3 yo Filly

OR: 86

Form & Verdict
Headed to Limerick last time for a 7f handicap (good) with a record of 0-9 but she showed huge improvement to win comfortably by 8l, which triggered an 18lb rise; new mark entitles her to be competitive against Tribal Nation, provided it doesn't flatter her.

J: Paddy Harnett

Bolted up by 8l at Limerick over 7f in June; handicapper hammered her with 18lb after and that has proven too burdensome since; did shape well [not beaten far behind Glory To Be in second) on return when beaten 4.25l at the Curragh 19 days ago but testing ground wouldn't be ideal back up in trip.

J: Paddy Harnett

Won by 8l off 68 at Limerick last June (7f, good); handicapper took a dim view (18lb rise) and she hasn't been competitive since; may need more respite from the assessor and prefers decent ground.

3 yo Colt

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago.

Won his maiden on heavy but handled faster ground when sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; keen and didn't get home (lost shoe) over a mile at Killarney when long odds-on last time and gelded since; bit to prove and draw not great.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Heavy-ground maiden winner who is effective on good but unraced on faster; the Group 3 he contested on reappearance was won by a Group 1 horse and he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) had he been sharper from the stalls; that form is working out well and he wouldn't be exposed just yet; considered.
