Winter’s on the best way child and high TV pundit and all-round good man Fran Berry previews an earlier begin than typical begin to the Irish all-weather observe’s motion over the subsequent few months. Anticipate late season winners within the maidens from Aidan and Joseph O’Brien with late maturing varieties and be careful for the additionally rans from the Turf season, who’ve slipped down the scores and might take benefit on the higher floor on the polytrack venue. And as at all times, watch the draw!
A 5f juvenile race with just a few attention-grabbing entries. Saratoga Particular and Shamrock Breeze have clashed just a few instances already whereas Highly effective Nation brings within the highest score to contest on 100. Andrew Slattery’s runner is unquestionably the one to be with so I’ll plump for Highly effective Nation who has but to be out of the primary two in three begins and recorded a win at Cork.
A two-year-old maiden race the place Agouti Bear must be able to upholding the shape when second at Navan over 6f final time when fancied. A whole lot of these could also be higher suited by the minimal journey fairly than the 6f distance and one who might be the worth towards the probably favorite is Annie Lavinia. She confirmed indicators of inexperience in each begins thus far and might come out on high as she seems a piece in progress. If she doesn’t rating then I’ll be looking for her in handicaps within the weeks forward.
James Henry has been extremely constant and acquired outpaced final time on the Curragh having missed a while throughout the season. He’ll be performed late over this 7f journey however Scott McCullough rides his properly and is worth for his 3lb declare. Dandy’s Derriere can go properly but it surely’s two handicap debutants I’m all for. Altimara off a mark of 67 is value a re-examination out there however Princess Aurea seems a participant dropping again to 7f having completed third right here when a giant drifter again in July. She’s a good attract stall two additionally.
Marble Angel deserves to be favorite however might be tight sufficient out there. Billy Lee rides for Andy Oliver. Consolation Line shoulders joint high weight with Adam Caffrey taking 3lb off and he’s a earlier winner right here over this 1m journey. Sayfa Fad might be a giant participant with Colin Keane booked to trip. Nevertheless, Thompson Gunner drops at school to this 47-65 handicap and appears a little bit unexposed. He ran in a 0-80 handicap on the Curragh final month when down the sector. He’s bombed out on mushy floor a few time however the change to the polytrack might repay, particularly as he’s been dropped 3lbs for his Curragh run. An each-way probability.
Napper Tandy heads the weights off a score of 80 and there’s some stable a number of winners on this 1m 4f contest for apprentices. A number of are higher suited by 2m however Poleman ought to recognize it. Miss Paloma is a twin winner at this observe and has a superb report contemporary. She gained properly right here in July in a race that’s figuring out very properly and will nonetheless be properly handicapped. Robin Donaghue-Leahy, who’s claiming 7lbs, is aware of her very properly.
The primary division of two handicaps the place Hurricane Helen tops the weights however the 10f journey mightn’t go well with. Step to Someplace is being continued with by the Dermot Weld group and runs off a mark of 65 underneath Chris Hayes and deserves most respect. Explorers Approach is constant, whereas Redemptive Energy must be aggressive now dropping in grade and is unquestionably one to maintain on aspect within the week’s forward. For me although, the pedigree of Elsa’s Satisfaction screams all-weather floor. She drops in grade and her first attempt on the polytrack floor generally is a successful one.
The second division of the 1m 2f occasion the place Epaulawn is an effective yardstick on this grade. Gardone noticed him off final time although however could also be susceptible over this journey fairly than at 1m 4f. I’ve been ready for Imperial Miss since September 2, who saved on rather well at Roscommon final time. She has the profile of an Autumn campaigner and appears a participant down towards the underside of the weights. A stall eight draw isn’t any hurt both.
We finish the primary evening of the brand new marketing campaign over 1m 2f the place Aidan O’Brien saddles Psalm who has but to win in six begins, regardless of bringing within the high score of 82 now. He has the power to win a maiden at a while however is a little bit regressive. Raydamann has been hit or miss too as has Ozark Daze. The one I like is Bard of Avon who seemed first rate of debut however was off the observe a very long time earlier than reappearing on the Curragh when fourth to Fighter over 10f. He seems to be extra progressive than the others. He’s my nap of the evening.
