Type: Flat Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Light rain

Form: 3231 D

Last run: 23 days

W: 9st 11lb

2 yo Colt

OR: 89

Form & Verdict
Good level of form when placed in three races won by stablemates before off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in Tipperary maiden early this month, only asserting late to beat Jack The Bachelor 1/2l; hardy sort but likely to be suited by a stiffer 5f or a return to 6f so could be vulnerable here.

J: Ronan Whelan

T: A P O’Brien

Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at second attempt (stable outsider) when rallying well in Down Royal maiden in June after showing plenty of pace; far from discredited when conceding weight in Naas conditions event latest, possibly not quite getting home over 6f; back in trip here and should go well.

Sir Alfie

J: Thomas Greatrex

T: Charlie Pike

Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August, but in poor form on turf and the AW in Britain this year and it's hard to believe he's worth his current mark.

J: Thomas Greatrex

T: Charlie Pike

Won twice for Ger Lyons last summer, making all in a 6f handicap at the Curragh last August; well beaten in two runs for Charles Byrnes last autumn and he hasn't fired in three runs for his new connections either; latest York run was slightly more encouraging so he's worth a market check dropping into a Class 4 and returning to 6f.

J: Thomas Greatrex

Two wins last summer for Ger Lyons; however, he's been a long way below his best on his last four starts, the first two for Charles Byrnes and the latest two for this yard; transformation needed in first-time tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
No match for Sir Alfie on Down Royal debut but much better form when only worn down late by Kansas at Tipperary when forcing it (now 5lb better off with that rival for a 1/2l beating, with an additional 3lb claimed); again only caught late on at Down Royal since, this quick 5f sure to suit.

J: Jack Kearney

T: Stephen Thorne

Speedy type finished second to both Kansas (Tipperary) and Howd'yadoit (Down Royal) before beating the former in Cork conditions event in July (making all); following month didn't do himself justice (unable to dominate) in Listed Curragh Stakes when 12l off Ipanema Queen; good bit to find here in a strong renewal.

Delivered on promise of first two runs when scoring at Bellewstown early this month (beating a subsequent winner); return to 6f seemed to backfire when well held in Curragh nursery last weekend and back to minimum trip here.

In good form this season since joining this yard; started the campaign with a Naas handicap win off 72 (5f, soft) and now rated 101; beaten a head by Havana Anna in Naas Group 3 on penultimate; jockey reported she stopped quickly when last at Cork latest; capable of better but risky after that.

T: K J Condon

Won her maiden over C&D on good ground last year for Jack Davison; an improved performer this season, winning twice (including back here) and outrunning her odds of 50-1 in a 6f Group 3 at Naas four weeks ago; races prominently and could prove tough to reel in back at 5f, for all that she's in against her elders this time.
