Fairly useful colt. Won 5-runner minor event at Chantilly (6f, good, 19/10) 89 days ago. Wears tongue strap. Should have more to offer but this certainly demands it.

4/1
Useful colt. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 2/9, career best when winning 5-runner minor event at Cork (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Enters calculations given he's a straightforward ride who is right there on form.

Horse silk
28/1
Twice-raced maiden. 4/1, head second of 12 to Rebel Diamond in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Capable of winning a race but listed company is asking a lot.

Forecasts

Easy Mover (2/1), Rudi's Apple (3/1), One Smack Mac (10/3), Vingegaard (10/3), Rebel Diamond (4/1), Itsatenfromlen (10/1), Kodilicious (10/1), Red Evolution (12/1), Rion Rubette (28/1), Actin Like A Diva (125/1)

Verdict

DUDI'S APPLE's decisive nursery win is just about the best form on offer and having found the going tough in Group company twice since, is selected to make the most of a slight ease back on class. Easy Mover and Revel Diamond are the main threats on achievement so far, but there are some potential big improvers lurking, notably One Smack Mac.
