FormscanBy John O'Riordan - DAKOTA BLUE should be able to make the breakthrough on his first start of the season. Runner-up at Tipperary on his debut, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding then finished fourth behind a trio of subsequent winners in a hot Curragh maiden in July. Losing little in defeat when beaten a head at Dundalk on his final juvenile outing, the son of Sioux Nation should appreciate the return to grass. Irish Derby entrant Nobler reached the frame on all three starts as a two-year-old. Joseph O'Brien's colt should be all the better for stepping up in trip here. Vorfreude showed enough on two starts at the Curragh to suggest he is capable of winning his maiden this term.

For three years old only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and whose sire established one or more yearling sales in the relevant year with a median price of not more than #50,000
