Verdict

SHAIHAAN is eased in grade here and with conditions likely to suit, he gets the verdict in a trappy listed event. Caught U Sleeping is a reliable filly and will benefit from the step back up in trip, so is also shortlisted alongside likely improver Latin America.

8	Found improvement when winning listed race at Naas in May and better form when making the frame in Group 2 and Group 3s since, sticking to her task over a barely adequate trip when fourth in a Group 3 at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. 2nd Pick 8 Caught U Sleeping (Ire) Jockey: Adam Caffrey Trainer: Noel Meade, Ireland J: Adam Caffrey T: Noel Meade, Ireland	99	-	-	-	10%	9/1

3	Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in 18-runner maiden at Navan in April. Shaped well considering the drop in trip seemed to be against him in a useful event at Naas the following month. Off since (gelded) but likely more to come over this distance. 3rd Pick 3 Latin America (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland	91	-	-	-	9%	11/1
