Going - Straight - Yielding. Round - Yielding, good to yielding in places. (After R2 Yielding to Soft on straight and Yielding on round). Overcast

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Well supported on debut at Navan before finishing third, ARDAD NED can open his account at the second attempt. Short of room over two furlongs out, the Noel Meade trained colt ran on well inside the final furlong to be beaten less than a length. With Colin Keane retaining the ride, the son of Ardad looks to have every chance of a breakthrough success. The Joseph O'Brien trained Acclamatic has shaped well enough in three runs to suggest he can win his maiden. Runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Tipperary last time, that headgear is retained here. The Shandyman should be all the better for his recent introduction at Naas.
