J P McManus has two newcomers engaged here and Barry Geraghty has chosen Coney Island. Winning point-to-pointer Everyday Everyhour ran moderately on his bumper debut at Punchestown in May but should soon leave that form behind while Lofgren made a highly encouraging debut behind the in-form Hatch Hall at Cork and holds Moving Target on that run. Alan Fleming has had seven winners in recent weeks for owner Barry Connell and MARAKOUSH looks another. Lightly-raced for John Oxx, he was placed in his first four starts before landing a Ballinrobe maiden in August of last year before being sold for 185,000 euros. Carlitos Bay has a nice pedigree for jumping and is one to note for the future.
