Verdict

Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this since 1996 but can put matters right here with CORAL BEACH. She's undoubtedly been disappointing since her second to Fairyland on her debut on ground with some give but the step up in trip and easier conditions can see her finally off the mark. Arabic Channel was just behind her at Fairyhouse last time and looks held though one to take out of the race is Pepperoni Pete, who stayed on nicely after taking his time to warm to his task. Joseph O'Brien's pair Colfer Me and Cosmic Horizon are entitled to come on for their debuts at Bellewstown, especially the latter who was staying on strongly. Zuenoon also caught the eye at Limerick in June when looking in need of experience. He has a very smart pedigree and looks certain to get into the action
