Race preview
BUCKAROO was an eye-catcher on debut at Killarney last month and he looks the safest option here. Out of a Listed winner in Roheryn, the Joseph O'Brien trained colt was slow away at the Co Kerry venue and while he entered the straight in last, he made good late gains to finish a never nearer third. He can be expected to come on plenty for that experience and it'll disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end now. Stone Age also ran a nice race to finish third on debut at Leopardstown and he is given second preference. Dermot Weld introduces Golden Beach and it'll be interesting to see how this one fares with Colin Keane booked to ride. The Oasis Dream colt is a full brother to Group 3 winner Imaging and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to take this on debut.
