Lynn Lodge Stud Irish EBF Maiden

Speedily-bred Dark Angel colt cost 85,000gns as a yearling; strong favourite on last month's Naas debut, slow to break and green, running on again into second late on behind a Ballydoyle colt with previous experience (well held since in Group company); entitled to come on for that and major contender.

Bungle Inthejungle colt cost 18,000euros as yearling and 70,000euros at the breeze-ups; half-brother to six winners inc Aleezdancer (5f/6f inc 2yo; RPR 105), Avenue Of Stars (6f inc AW; 81), Navajo Spring (5f; 80) and Helen Sherbet (6f/7f AW inc 2yo; 74); dam 7f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; 98); tongue-tied for debut.

Couple of solid runs over this trip, at Tipperary and when staying-on third behind an odds-on shot (winner again since) at Cork last month; likely more needed here.

Promising debut effort when forcing much of pace in finishing third (head off runner-up Amiata) at Naas last month and similar tactics employed at the Curragh a fortnight later over 6f, rallying once headed when good second to a stablemate; keen-going sort drops back in trip here and stiff 5f could suit.

Acclamation colt didn't count after a tardy start on debut last month in good-class 6f maiden here; related to some speedy types so don't rule out improvement.
