Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden (Median Auction Race)

Effective at 8–10f on soft and needing to bounce back from a below-par Dundalk effort, Sron Na Caise has the experience of today's distance and could improve dropping into this grade. The worry is that her most recent run was well off her best and a return to form is required.

Twice runner-up and once third in her recent flat starts, Wonderfulwonderful is proven at 7–11f on a sound surface and is respected returning to the flat after hurdles. First-time cheekpieces are a variable, and the question is whether she can recapture that placed form after fading out late last time over hurdles.

Third on debut at Limerick, Camino Lad shaped with clear promise and looks open to significant improvement at his second start. Trainer in red-hot form at 45% over the past fortnight, he acts on good-to-yielding ground and steps up in trip today — a move that looks a plus. Yet to score but taken to go close.

Second at Down Royal last time, beaten just 1¼ lengths over 10f, Nermal is effective at 1m–10f and handles good and AW ground. Consistent at his best and open to further progress, the main caveat is a trainer out of form at 3% in the past fortnight.

A Golden Horn gelding out of a dam very useful at 9f, Swing Street has some pedigree credentials, though his half-brother was only moderate at 11f. Unraced and meeting experienced rivals, this is a demanding ask on debut.
