8/15
Placed twice from three outings but a beaten favourite on each occasion. Started odds-on for a 1m maiden at Cork last May and beaten 2½L into second on that occasion. Unraced since he seems to handle all ground conditions and should prove hard to beat here.

Beaten 5L when finishing fourth of 12 on his debut at Dundalk earlier this month. Full-sister to the Group 3-placed filly Pandora and an interesting runner here.

Unraced son of Majestic Missile. Half-brother to useful sprinter Pivotal Flame amongst others and a concern that he's not made his debut sooner.

Well beaten in a maiden for previous stable 12 months ago but shaped better on debut for current yard and first run since being gelded when fifth at Dundalk earlier this month. Likely to fair better in handicaps however.

Unraced son of Lawman. Bought back in as a yearling in 2014 and a full-brother 1m winner Law Major. Represents a good yard here and worth a check in the market.

Not beaten far when fifth on debut at Naas last May but well beaten at the same track the following month. Worth a check in the market on her first outing for this yard.

Finished over 10L behind the winner when sixth on her debut over 7f at Dundalk last September. Held up on that occasion she's likely to fair better in handicap company.

Verdict

SURROUNDING ran well when finishing runner-up on his debut over 1m at Dundalk earlier this month. The selection was staying on at the finish on that occasion and can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this 1m maiden race. Aasheq has been a beaten favourite in all three starts to date and can claim second on his first outing in 11 months here while Allegio can claim third having finished fourth in the same maiden the selection contested at Dundalk earlier this month.
