9st 2lb |
Gained second career win on latest over C&D (good) and the runner up Zenford has won since; 5lb rise for that short-head success seems fair and his C&D form figures now read 311; should be in the mix again. |

Solid nursery performer on easy ground, winning over C&D last September; good effort on return when second at Cork (1m, soft to heavy); well beaten on good going at Naas; trainer would seem to have a better chance with the high-class Quiet Mutiny. |

9st 12lb |
Surprise debut winner of 7f auction maiden here in July (second won next time out) making virtually all; too keen when similar tactics employed in Tipperary Listed following month but respected back down in grade here. |

Gustav Klimt colt pulled off a 33-1 surprise when making most and winning on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good) last month; second and third from that race have since finished 1-2 in a maiden at Galway; likely to face competition for the lead here though. |

Placed at Leopardstown on only start at two; has developed a consistent level of form by making the first three in all three starts this term; went close at the Curragh in his first handicap; does not need to improve much to open his account now. |

Looked raw first time at Galway and did well to get the better of the twice-raced runner-up; set a tough task in a Listed race at Leopardstown won by the brilliant Diamond Necklace; tongue-tie added for reappearance. |

9st 2lb |
Looked raw first time at Galway and deserves plenty of credit for getting the better of the twice-raced runner-up; has the makings of a long-term prospect, but the form is of questionable value at this level, since the second was a beaten favourite from a mark of 79 in a Killarney nursery on her next start. |

Maiden has run several sound races in defeat for Johnny Murtagh and this yard; put a blot on his record at Fairyhouse last week; overall form, including a close third behind Fortuity on his penultimate start, gives him a place chance. |

Maiden has run several fine races in defeat for Johnny Murtagh and this yard; raced a bit keenly over 7f here last time when just denied and should cope with the drop in trip; considered. |

Twice runner-up at Dundalk late last year after showing ability in two runs on turf; can pick up a race like this if he has matured satisfactorily. |

9st 7lb |
E260,000 yearling; fifth foal, half-brother to three winners; made a pleasing debut as the stable outsider when fourth of 17 over 6f at Naas; looked in need of further when fifth (fourth in group) in a 28-runner Curragh maiden won by subsequent Ascot big-race winner Mission Central; second, third and fourth have all won. |

Consistent in defeat in three maidens last year; beaten 12l on return in a 1m2f Down Royal handicap; visor returns down in trip and needs his best. |

Betting Forcast
11/1 Invincible Will, 12/1 Time Bender, 5/2 Zenford, 25/1 Dawn Romance, 16/1 Mighty Danu, 10/1 Dark Leader, 9/2 Venetian Star, 4/1 Caitouna, 15/2 Watch Tower, 14/1 Chapel Lane
Verdict
There wasn’t much between Zenford and Venetian Star on softer ground at Limerick last time but the fourth from that race, WATCH TOWER, should improve plenty for that first run of the season, and may be able to turn the tables on this quicker ground. Caitouna isn’t discounted after her win at Fairyhouse last time, and Dark Leader is an interesting handicap debutant. [Dave Stephens]
