Verdict

FERRONNIERE put in decent late work in fourth on debut in an optional claiming maiden at Navan. The three main horses in the betting finished in front of him, and the form was boosted when the runner-up came out and beat an odds-on favourite in a Galway maiden. Joseph O'Brien's Santerno is dangerous up in trip after a mid-division finish in a big-field maiden at the Curragh, while Ger Lyons often has a handle on claimers and his Cudawudashuda could be an improver in this grade. Nando Royale has a mark of 70 courtesy of a third place in an auction series maiden at Roscommon in June. He wasn't at his best on his next visit to that track, though.

Top Tip: Ferronniere (4)
Watch out for: Santerno (2)

A weak enough race, Nando Royale looks to set the standard but failed to run to form last time and it's Joseph O'Brien's SANTERNO who appeals most. He's dropping from Class 2 to Class 6 company and also gets a first-time tongue-tie while the step up to 8f from 6f should bring about improvement. He can get off the mark with ownermate Razmataz perhaps the main threat in a new headgear combination.
