Showed good improvement for the addition of a visor at Dundalk in January when easily winning off 63 over 1m for former trainer Joseph O'Brien; okay efforts back there and at Leopardstown after that, but beaten 10.5l behind Harmani at Down Royal when last seen in May; Flat rating of 73 puts him in the mix on hurdling/stable debut.

Sets a decent standard here off a mark of 85; beaten a nose over 7f at Dundalk on second handicap start in November and made a positive seasonal return at Navan in April when a 3l third of 18 (1m2f, good to yielding); Navan handicap debut last time was below his best (1m2f, yielding); evidence to date suggests this new trip is within reach.

Kenough, Nazario

Verdict

Nazario probably sets the standard, ahead of Fox In Flight, but a chance is taken on KENOUGH who looked impressive in winning a barrier trial for Diego Dias and now debuts for Joseph O’Brien in the Ethical Diamond colours of the H O S Syndicate. O’Brien also has Another Day Done so the market should be informative. Others to conside in a decent maiden are Now Maybe and Cosmic Motion. [Alan Hewison]
