Verdict: First-time blinkers could enable CATENA ZAPATA to gain a belated turf win, chiefly at the expense of Shoot To Kill

Catena Zapata

Jockey: C Cusack Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Age/Wt: 7/9-7 F: 3/00460 OR: 73

5/2

Comment: Dual AW winner over a mile but frustrating on turf this year, standout run when good fourth at the Curragh (1m, good); no show in similar contest latest however; blinkers added to usual tongue-tie here and big player at the weights if putting best foot forward.

Comment: Overcame a slow start and trouble in running to win Roscommon handicap in May; hasn't counted twice since but overall profile gives him major claims if avoiding a slow start; draw not ideal.

Jockey: Jessica Maye Trainer: W McCreery Age/Wt: 8/10-2 F: 061060 OR: 61

Comment: Heavily-raced 8yo was scoring for the seventh time when winning at Gowran in May; safely held off revised mark twice since, here and when fair effort at Leopardstown latest; not the most consistent and has a bit to find on these terms; also due to run here yesterday (6.45).

Comment: Awtaad colt; 42,000euros yearling; second foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to Listed winners Daktani (1m 2yo), Diatribe (6f/7f) and Diaphora (1m); fourth in Naas barrier trial before successful track debut in 7f Leopardstown auction event last month, overcoming traffic problems to get up on post (second narrowly beaten again since); extra 1f to suit and National Stakes entry should take plenty of beating if handling softer ground.

Comment: Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam closely related to 1m1f winner Parvana, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; National Stakes entry has to be worth a market watch.

Comment: Two good placed efforts at two and in the frame in all three starts this term, albeit not quite at the same level, notably outstayed over 1m at Bellewstown, most recently chasing home a 4l odds-on winner over 6f at Sligo; 7f may prove his ideal trip but this sharp track gives him every chance of seeing the 1m trip out (acts on soft).

Comment: Sole win came in Tipperary 2yo maiden but career-best on seasonal return when second in Group 3 Park Express Stakes (1m, good) at the Curragh in April; 1m4f seemed beyond her in Group 2 Ribblesdale on latest and now reverts to 1m; claims.

Comment: Consistent sort ran away with Limerick maiden (7f, soft) in April; no improvement in good-ground Listed races since, latest when beaten 4.5l at Navan (4l off Red Letter); has plenty to find but proven on soft ground which is a positive.

12/1

Comment: Ended last season with second to the classy Whirl in a Curragh Group 3 (1m, soft); back to that level of form when beaten neck by a stablemate in valuable Gowran conditions event in June, later in month ridden to stay 1m2f trip at Naas when staying on third in Group 3 fillies; back in trip here and won't mind rain; riding arrangements suggest Wannabe Royal as the yard's first-choice.

Comment: Superbly-bred filly by Wootton Bassett and out of Cheveley Park winner Clemmie; ordinary 2yo form, winning Fairyhouse nursery (6f, good); has improved this year but didn't count when co-favourite in Curragh premier handicap latest; will do well to nick some black type here.

Comment: Cork maiden winner probably raced a bit too keen when third in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good); didn't really land a blow but not discredited in Curragh all-aged premier fillies' handicap last time; tries 1m again and needs to improve for it.

Jockey: M W Hassett Trainer: Michael Butler Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 888212 OR: 86

Comment: Bolted up in Limerick handicap (7f, good) last month, ensuring an 18lb hike in the handicap; tarvelled well for much of way on yielding-to-soft over C&D on Monday when second of four in conditions event (favourite well below best); altogether stiffer task here but does handle conditions.

Comment: First reserve; dual AW winner got off the mark on turf at Leopardstown six days ago and will be a leading player if getting a run under a 7lb penalty.

Comment: The best of three maiden runs when beaten 5.5l in a 1m2.5f Down Royal maiden; check the market on handicap debut but seems to be the yard's second-string on jockey bookings.

Comment: Maiden put up some fair efforts in handicaps and also ran well in a Listowel maiden hurdle last month; the trip was too short at Leopardstown last time; needs best.
