FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Ulster Derby-runner-up PIERRE GROSSE can get off the mark on his 12th attempt. Out of a half-sister to St Leger-winner Masked Marvel, the selection has finished second four times and while frustrating to follow, has contested some smart races. He bumped into a smart stablemate at Thurles last week, where he was reported to have hung left throughout, so will be better suited by today’s galloping course. Almazann has nice ability but nonetheless has failed in five previous maidens and has finished narrowly ahead of today’s rivals Possum and Nemorino previously. Starting Fifteen could be suited by dropping in distance from hurdling but has a tough enough task here.

For three years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 3-y-o 9st 8lbs 4-y-o and up 10st. Fillies allowed 5lbs.
