5/2

Comment: Dual Flat winner in Denmark in 2023, stayed 1m4f; creditable efforts in maiden hurdles before finishing third in a novice event at Downpatrick; holds a leading chance in this grade if forgiven a moderate display at Tipperary on handicap debut; has to concede a minimum of 8lb.

Comment: Fair form last season for her previous trainer; pulled well clear with the winner when second in a handicap at Sligo last month on stable/seasonal debut; second to a much younger rival in a mares' handicap at the same venue nine days ago; now a six-time runner-up; should be in the mix in a race of this standard.

Verdict: This is a big drop in class for KAPTAIN BAY following his run at Bellewstown. Race fitness may give him an edge over Realism

Kaptain Bay

Jockey: D Meyler Trainer: Noel Meade Age/Wt: 4/11-12 F: 1-26 OR: 111

3/1

Comment: Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April; runner-up over in a 2m handicap at Kilbeggan in May; takes a drop in class after contesting a much stronger handicap at Bellewstown; that was a tough task for a horse of his age; could make his presence felt in this company.

Comment: Won a 2m1f handicap for Sam Drinkwater at Sedgefield in October 2023; encouraging debut for this yard after long layoff at Clonmel in May (19.5f, good); stamina to prove for this trip; chance if he stays.
