Stake: $24,354

MONKSTOWN (5) was 5.5L third debuting at the Curragh in March over 1400m. May progress for that. Leading chance. DRIVERS SEAT (1) was beaten favourite last time at Listowel in September tackling this trip. Coming here fresh and now more experienced could see improvement. Consider. MINAUN VIEW (7) drops in standard having only been seen among Listed and Group company. Will need to show more. Might go close trying further. PROFESSOR LONGHAIR (6) comes from a good family. Interesting on debut.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 14 at Curragh October 5 over 1408m, 30 len behind Expanded carrying 59.5kg at $251. On debut second last of 15 at Curragh August 24 over 1408m, 22 len behind Officer carrying 60.5kg at $151. Faces a tough essay.

Third race start. First start 6th of 9 at this track in LR on October 4 over 1408m, 5 len behind Right And True with 57kg at $21. Returned from break ran last of 13 at Leopardstown in the G3 Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes on March 30 over 1408m, 18 len behind Swelter carrying 58kg at $81. Will find this easier and is one of the leading chances.
