DOUBLE JABBED clearly sets the standard in this moderate contest, although enthusiasm is tempered somewhat by his low draw. High numbers tend to be favoured on this track when the ground is riding soft but nonetheless the David Marnane-trained gelding looks sure to be involved. Runner-up on his last two starts, the MRC International owned runner is good enough to win his maiden. Never Shout Never ran green when behind the Marnane gelding at Cork last time but looks a real threat if handling the softer ground. Well drawn, the Fozzy Stack-trained son of No Nay Never will also appreciate dropping back in trip. Lady Fox was first passed the post on her racecourse debut at Navan before subsequently being demoted. Connections will be hoping for quick compensation with a filly who will have no issues with underfoot conditions.

LADY FOX was only denied a debut win by the stewards, and with improvement likely to come, she's fancied to take plenty of beating on her second racecourse appearance. Double Jabbed has found one too good on his last 2 starts and looks set to fill the same spot again, whilst Never Shout Never took a step forward last time and could have more still to offer.

The drop down to the minimum trip could work the oracle for DANVERS GOLD after she appeared too free at Leopardstown last time

A chance is taken on seasonal debutant CONGO RIVER in a tight knit affair. Last seen when finishing third in Listed company at Dundalk in September, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt faces vastly different ground conditions here. On his most recent start he had Lady Tilbury behind him in fourth, so should be able to confirm that form off similar weights. The latter has subsequently gone on to win over course and distance but that was on much better going. Having only had two previous starts on soft, it is hard to be sure that the David Marnane-trained filly doesn't handle it, so she cannot be discounted on that score alone. If adapting to conditions, the daughter of Bated Breath is very much the one to beat. Master Matt has been in good form of late so could well put it up to his younger rivals.

This looks trappy and the suggestion is MARIA BRANWELL, who has failed to make an impact the last twice but a reproduction of her near-miss in a pretty valuable handicap at the Curragh in June would give her every chance. Master Matt will be a serious threat if he puts his best foot forward and while Congo River will need to have improved since his 2-y-o campaign if he's to emerge on top, it wouldn't be much of a surprise were this well-bred Ballydoyle colt to raise his game.

A tricky little contest, all with chances. HARMONY ROSE runs well here and handles soft so gets the vote

CAVALLO PAZZO very much catches the eye on his first start for trainer Joseph O'Brien. A maiden winner over 6f for Eoin Doyle on heavy ground at Naas last November, the gelding had previously just been touched off over this trip at Navan. Having failed to fire when stepped up to 7f on his only run this season, the four-year-old now reverts to sprinting. Former Joe McGrath winner That's Mad is another runner making his debut for a new yard. The seven-year-old has dropped a long way in the ratings so could be a danger if Anthony McCann has managed to reignite the spark. The Equiano gelding will have no problem with the testing ground. Tamazu, who won his maiden over course and distance, showed he is well handicapped when second at Down Royal recently. However, he does have to prove his effectiveness on the ground.

CAVALLO PAZZO has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change and might be worth chancing, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Tamazu is entitled to strip fitter for his Down Royal reappearance and is second choice ahead of Leanne Breen's Sosallycanwait, who has been knocking on the door lately.

A competitive handicap but C&D winner TAMAZU looks the pick after an excellent effort behind subsequent winner Dun Na Sead back in June

ANDROMEDA can go one better here having caught the eye on debut when staying on well behind a stablemate at Leopardstown. The Aidan O'Brien-trained daughter of Galileo should be much more streetwise with the benefit of that experience, so should be hard to beat. Enthralling was a place behind in third at Leopardstown but had already had a previous outing. While the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly should again be a leading contender, she may not be able to overturn the form with Andromeda. Shelaka, a half-sister to two black type horses, is one to note on her racecourse debut. Trainer Dermot Weld introduced a smart newcomer at Naas during the week and his string have been firing on all cylinders over the last couple of weeks.

ANDROMEDA showed plenty when runner-up at Leopardstown on debut 3 weeks ago and shades the vote over fellow Galileo-filly Enthralling, who left her debut well behind when third at Leopardstown. Glor Tire is another to consider.

After getting up close home to finish a head in front Enthralling at Leopardstown, ANDROMEDA is taken to confirm the placings

DEEPONE can maintain his unbeaten record by completing the hat-trick in a competitive race. A winner on his racecourse debut at Leopardstown in May, the Study Of Man colt then faced a simple task when justifying long odds-on favouritism in a winners' race at Killarney last month. While he beat little on that occasion, the form of his initial run has been very well advertised subsequently. Warnie was considered smart enough to make his debut in Listed company at Royal Ascot and while he failed to reach the frame, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt showed plenty of promise. That experience wasn't wasted on the son of Highland Reel who shed his maiden tag at Bellewstown next time. Brilliant has improved with each run to date so the only filly in the line up could be a threat to all.

DEEPONE has looked a good prospect so far and looks capable of extending his unbeaten record to three up in grade. Brilliant is progressing by the run and likely to pose a serious threat, while further improvement is also expected from Bremen.

A good-class renewal in which DEEPONE can maintain his unbeaten record, although Warnie and Bremen could give him a good test

TIME TELLS ALL split too very smart types on his racecourse debut at Navan back in March but has failed to progress in three subsequent starts. A beaten favourite on his next two runs on turf, he then ran below par when switched to the Polytrack at Dundalk last time. Dermot Weld has a good record with horses sporting first-time headgear so the Sea The Stars gelding is given another chance now that he wears a visor. First Gentleman has been placed on all four maiden runs to date but similar to the Weld runner, he doesn't appear to be progressing. However, off a mark of 80, the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding looks to hold strong claims. Space Age has shown enough from limited opportunities to suggest he is also capable of getting involved for trainer John Joseph Murphy.

FIRST GENTLEMAN, Space Age and Time Tells All need to shrug off a below-par run but they are the ones to beat on their best form, and they are preferred in that order.

Although not guaranteed to stay FIRST GENTLEMAN gets the vote back on soft ground

LONGCLAW has been done no favours with a wide draw but the Pat Murphy-trained six-year-old comes into the race as one of the in-form runners. A winner on just his second start for the stable at Ballinrobe in June, the gelding went close at the Galway Festival last week. Jody Townend is obviously a very significant booking in a race of this nature. Viceregent stayed on strongly when runner-up over this trip last time and is on a fair mark on the flat. Expound has been highly consistent of late so commands respect under Aine O'Connor. The four-year-old ran his best race to date when stepped up to this trip at Tramore last time. Golden Star is difficult to evaluate having his first run in a handicap after just the three starts. The Tony Martain-trained gelding showed little in two bumper runs.

VICEREGENT ran well on his belated return to the Flat when second at Ballinrobe and should go well again off the same mark. Expound and Longclaw head the dangers.

Recent Ballinrobe second VICEREGENT should appreciate this more galloping track and has the most experienced rider booked

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
