Bumper/hurdles/chase winner makes her Flat debut now; has run well after breaks before and won on good ground; interesting contender.

Nice pedigree and fared okay in a strong Curragh maiden on debut on soft/heavy at the Curragh, beaten 17.5l into sixth; never better than midfield over 1m4f at Dundalk last time; more needed.

Purchased for 320,000euros as a yearling; brother to some decent types but made no impression in a 6.5f barrier trial in August; stopped quickly and pulled up on rules debut at Dundalk in November (1m); tongue tie goes on but best watched for the moment.

Beat just one rival at Navan when 80-1 (1m2f, good to yielding); others make more appeal.

W: 9st 6lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
Chased home two experienced rivals with decent form on debut at Navan (1m2f, yielding); that was a positive first run and marks him out as a big player with normal improvement.

OUR TIP
Form: 82-36
OR: 85
W: 9st 6lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
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.

Never dangerous for his Gowran debut when beaten 23l (1m, good to yielding); Mr Ballynonty looks the most appealing of the trainer's pair.

Huge odds for Curragh debut (1m2f, good, 300-1) and finished 22l behind; unlikely.
Form: 583

W: 9st 6lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
Similar efforts in opening maidens but improved to take third over 1m2f here last time when third despite 125-1 odds (good); others preferred.
Form: 65

W: 9st 1lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Solid sixth at Navan over 1m2f (good to yielding) at 80-1; didn't appear to get home on soft ground at Cork over an extended 1m2f last time; up in trip now with Keane aboard for the first time.

OR: —
W: 9st 1lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Tailed off on debut at Cork last month (10.5f, soft); hard to fancy on that evidence.

Betting Forecast
20/1 Half Cut, 18/1 Pettus Bridge, 20/1 Yangtze River, 10/1 Ma Belle Etoile, 66/1 Youse Raven Mad, 10/1 Bell Ex Too, 18/1 Coexist, 10/1 Four Ball, 33/1 Good Man Jack, 4/1 Mr Ballynonty, 20/1 Notahairoutofplace, 11/4 Now Maybe, 40/1 Ravens Can Fly, 33/1 Stabannon, 9/1 Tanzanite Diamond, 13/2 Dreamkeeper, 50/1 Spa Rose
Verdict
Although he was below his best in a handicap last time, NOW MAYBE sets a good standard following positive maiden outings and may get the job done. It will be no surprise if Mr Ballynonty emerges as the main danger following a good first run at Navan when behind experienced rivals. Ma Belle Etoile is a decent jumps horse making her Flat debut now. [Denis Harney]
