Make it Magellan
The Montjeu colt ran once as a juvenile, showing little when only 11th of 14 behind Crystal Gal over seven furlongs at the Curragh in September.
He then made his reappearance over a mile at the Curragh in March, performing with a little more promise when 9th of 18 in the contest won by Reiteration.
On both his outings, however, Ferdinand Magellan was apprentice-ridden and there was no sort of fancy for him.
Johnny Murtagh now takes over and, in a weak race, stepping up to ten furlongs may be just what’s required.
Only four are set to face the starter in the Lynn Lodge Stud EBF Race, but it is a real puzzle, notwithstanding the fact Dazzling Day is greatly favoured by the conditions of the contest.
Kevin Prendergast’s filly is 11lbs well in with Buy Back Bob and Mister Carter and 12lbs with Crazy Days.
Dazzling Day, however, has two ways of running and was tailed off behind Akdarena in a Group 3 at Naas last time.
Buy Back Bob and Mister Carter again had their limitations exposed behind Rain Forest at Gowran Park, so could Crazy Days be the answer?
She won her maiden on this track in a canter, over a mile, and seemed to find 12 furlongs too far when disappointing in the handicap won by Bright Horizon at the Curragh a week ago.
Tara Warrior, a creditable third to Garlic Hill and John The Soldier at Clonmel - subsequent winner Lend A Hand Son was fourth - gets the vote in the Mount Leinster Maiden Hurdle at Wexford.
