Verdict

LEADLIGHT holds some Group entries for later in the season and should make it third time lucky with sights lowered. Ger Lyons opts for another crack at a maiden with This That, who looks most interesting of the remainder.

3	Did all his best work late when 1½ lengths fourth in fairly useful race on debut at Leopardstown. Drawn poorly when beaten 5 lengths in valuable Glorious Goodwood maiden (7f) since. Step up in trip/addition of cheekpieces should suit and we haven't seen the best of him yet (holds Group 1 entry). 1st Pick 3 Leadlight (Ire) Jockey: D. B.

4	Only beaten 2¾ lengths in a big-field maiden at the Curragh (6f) on qualifying run. Interesting that very capable yard opt for another crack at maiden company. Player if he stays this significantly longer trip (bred to be sharp). 2nd Pick 4 This That Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: G. M. Lyons, Ireland J: C. T. Keane T: G. M. Lyons, Ireland	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

1	90,000 gns son of Blackbeard. Positively ridden over a longer trip when 5½ lengths fourth of 13 at Dundalk (1m) on return/second career start. May pick up some place money if building on that. 3rd Pick 1 Equus Victor (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: Daniel James Murphy, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: Daniel James Murphy, Ireland	87	-	-	-	17%	Scratched
