FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MULTIPLY BY EIGHT can make a winning Irish debut for her new trainer. A half-sister to a Group 2 winner and two other useful performers, she showed a good level of ability in England last year, and finished 12th of 25 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Her two subsequent runs were underwhelming but the first of those was on the all-weather which, possibly, might not have suited and she comes here a fresh filly, albeit without a recent run, but from a yard which is making giant strides. Mudawy could be a danger, representing a yard which has hit form with three winners in the past 10 days. His lack of a previous run is clearly a concern being a late-coming 3yo, but he is by Dark Angel and is from an unraced dam whose family have produced some smart performers. It is also notable Chris Hayes takes the spin on Mudawy over twice-raced stablemate Daayeb, who is admittedly ordinary. Taggalo has some nice recent form, having run well twice for Johnny Murtagh this year. Rated 73, she is clearly vulnerable to any more able performers but will be suited by trip and ground. King Of Stars has disappointed twice since a promising run at Tipperary in June but could play some part today while Allez Allez Allez is similarly frustrating but is nonetheless proven at this level and can also play a part. Gold Factory drops down to 6f following a disappointing run last month.
