11st 12lb

J: Mr P W Mullins

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f); cracking run on seasonal return in big field 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in May; latest run over 2m back there disappointing (cheekpieces tried then are discarded) but capable of better, is rated 91 and Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking.

Count Bezukhov

9st 10lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Wootton Bassett colt; made a promising debut over this trip at Leopardstown and then won at the Curragh (first-time tongue-tie) when perhaps inconvenienced by the drop back to 1m2f; can pick holes in that form but he's a promising colt who looks a stayer in the making.

Nil Bua Gan Dua

9st 3lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Pitched into Group events twice as 2yo and it wasn't until his second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon); 22-1, every chance through the final 2f when an excellent fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; longer trips than that now look well worth a go but he has the most to prove in this field, including with a bit to find on form.
