BIRTH OF VENUS was engaged in the 5.10 here yesterday so the result should be monitored though he looked very progressive when beating Dawn Hoofer at Gowran. Remmy D was a long way behind that winner at the Curragh later and looks held on collateral form but California Jumbo has shown plenty of potential over a mile and makes his handicap debut over this longer trip. His pedigree suggests he should be suited as should Rockabill, another making his handicap debut after showing promise in maidens.
California Jumbo (USA) 3-1 (9-5) Soon led, headed 1 1/2f out, no extra and one pace final furlong, 5th of 10, 4 1/2l behind Somerset Maugham (9-5) at Curragh 1m mdn gf in Jun.

Rockabill 11-4 (9-5) Slowly into stride, soon mid-division on outer, 6th 3f out, soon ridden and no impression, 7th of 13, 6 3/4l behind Spanish Point (9-5) at Leopardstown 1m mdn gf in Jun.
