A beautifully-bred son of High Chaparral, his dam's half-brother, Grey Swallow, won the 2004 Irish Derby and the master of Rosewell House must think a lot of him, having given him an entry in next year's Epsom Derby.

Einsteins Folly and Lucked Out have experience on their side and both have shaped with a degree of promise.
Marty's Magic is another interesting newcomer for Weld in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, although it could boil down to a match between That Boy David and Caonach, who both look likely to score at this level before long.
The former is clearly improving and switches from the all-weather following two creditable efforts, but Jim Bolger's filly might have the edge as she drops from Listed company.
The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap offers a nice pot to the winner and Ondeafears has a 12lb higher mark to defy, having made light work of 18 rivals at the Curragh last week.

David Wachman has his string in excellent form and his Oh Happy Days attempts to supplement a recent Gowran Park success in the Louth Agricultural Show 17th June Handicap.
