It looks a hot maiden with lots of well-bred newcomers but SCEOLAN caught the eye when finishing well over 6f at Naas and might build on that. Dissociate is a danger based on her promising debut at this course back in May while Toy, Ha Ha Ha and Scarlet Angel are all of interest on pedigree.
Although turned over at odds-on here last time, the 101-rated NEW YORK CITY gets the vote to redeem himself. Alighieri should be suited by coming back in trip and Witch Of The Wood and Melnik look the most interesting of of the newcomers.
From a stable that is doing really well with its juveniles, PURPLE DAWN (nap) gets the vote to build on his AW maiden win on Friday. Softer ground is a slight concern but his rider’s 7lb claim is a steal. Cyclamen looks the best of the Ballydoyle pair and Brown Eagle and Shaky Operator are of interest on handicap debut.

After finding the extreme test of stamina too taxing in the Cesarewitch, MICRO MANAGE can bounce back here over a more suitable distance. Barbados is in good heart and is an obvious threat while Raise You would beat these rivals for speed if lasting home over 1m4f.
Hard to make definite conclusions about this race. Inveterate finished 6l in front of Indulging at Galway. Newcomer FINE LACE may be good enough to score for Dermot Weld. Sign From Above could also go well on debut. The once-raced pair Gudrid and Zurkhana may improve.
Several of these ran at Galway yesterday so there could be a live chance of the in-form reserve Astrophysicist getting in, who would be of major interest. However, as it stands there could be value to be had in MEPHISTO, who was staying on nicely at Navan last time and now has the blinkers on for the first time this year. Others to consider include Estoppel, L’Un Deux Trois and Slieve Bearnagh.
Having run well for a long way over 6f in a stronger race than this at Naas last time, GEGENPRESSING can get back on the scoresheet down in trip and class. Loads have claims, including Harry’s Hill, Mister Trader, Conversant and Ever Rock.
Harry Swan’s mount LUNAR DISPLAY will be hard to beat if showing no ill-effects from a winning effort over hurdles at Wexford on Sunday. Strictly on this year’s Flat form High Altitude stands out, but he is not certain to stay 1m4f. Banjo is sure to stay and will benefit from Annalise Culllen’s experienced handling.
