FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MATEO CRUZ is a very interesting runner on debut for new connections, having presumably changed hands for a nice price following a promising debut for Eddie Harty at the Curragh in June. He didn't have the clearest of passages in that Curragh maiden but stayed on very well and the form of that race is quite smart. Progression looks very likely following that promising debut but a concern today is he encounters soft ground for the first time. Urban Beat himself ran a promising race on debut at Naas last month and is a half-brother to five winners. He was slowly into stride on debut but finished well behind the winner who won the Molecomb Stakes on his next start, with the runner-up having previous and useful form to her name. That Molecomb Stakes winner Steel Bull is trained by I Am Magnetic's trainer and I Am Magnetic himself showed up well in a smart Curragh maiden last month. I Am Magnetic proved his ability on easy ground then, travelled quite well through his race, and while unable to quicken with the leaders, showed enough to suggest he can prove competitive here despite a big weight. Giselles Thunder ran a promising race when second on debut at Navan last month, is by promising stallion Night Of Thunder and is a sister to an Italian Listed winner. She has form with Dense Star (which beat URBAN BEAT in Naas), will be ok on easy ground but hasn't run since her June debut. Lightning Boltz has shown useful ability on his two runs, is very much proven on easy and while vulnerable to smart types, could get involved for the placings. %0A
