Verdict

GLIONDAR is worth another chance to confirm his debut promise and could well make it third time lucky. Karrygrant is likely to be knocking on the door again, with Fleur de Provence expected to be firmly in the mix, too.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
3	Shaped very well when chasing home a next-time-out winner (now borderline smart) on debut at the Curragh (1m) in June. Reported to have finished sore/lost a shoe when turned over at Gowran (9.5f) subsequently. Has been given time to get over that and may make amends if back on song. 1st Pick 3 Gliondar (Fr) Jockey: J. M. Sheridan Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: J. M.

4	Proving expensive to follow, finishing runner-up 4 times in 9 starts. Got to the front from a wide draw when narrowly touched off at Bellewstown (1m) latest, the other frame horses since franking the form. Now tried in first-time tongue strap and he's entitled to go close again. 2nd Pick 4 Karrygrant (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland	99	-	-	-	17%	5/1

9	Well-related filly who made a promising start with seconds in 1m maidens at Naas/Gowran. Back on track when 4 lengths third in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown (9f) on return. Probably doesn't need much more to get off the mark. 3rd Pick 9 Fleur De Provence (Ire) Jockey: C. D. Hayes Trainer: D. K. Weld, Ireland J: C. D. Hayes T: D. K. Weld, Ireland	98	-	-	-	19%	Scratched
