War Front colt ran an improved race in Fairyhouse maiden (7f, good) last week when beaten 4L. That form puts him in the mix for this prize with first-time blinkers added.
Shown some promise in pair of 1m maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh, latest a 4L defeat in third of 10 runners. Entitled to carry on improving and be competitive here.
Beaten 23L last of seven runners here in May over 7f, will have to improve dramatically now stepped up in trip to have a big say.
Shown some minor improvement in three turf maidens over 7f thus far, will need another step in the right direction now meeting this trip / surface for the first time.
Still looked to be learning when beaten just over 5L at the Curragh (1m, good) in second maiden run late last month. Scope to improve on first AW outing.
Newcomer for yard without any runners on the Flat over the previous 12 months, would be a surprise were he ready to land this on debut and looks best watched unless money comes.
Not beaten far on sole start at two and ran well on debut for this yard in a first time tongue tie (retained) when finishing fourth of 12 over 1m at Leopardstown (good) a fortnight ago. Represents excellent young trainer.
Newcomer, yard haven't been amongst the winners of late and are just 1/23 with 3yos over the previous 12 months.
Bernardini filly, cost $400,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to US Grade 3 winner Den's Legacy and dam was half-sister to a Grade 1 winner. Finished fifth of five behind Irish 1,000 Guineas placed Hydrangea at the Curragh when last seen. Entitled to do better this year but may need this run after a break. Wears visor for the first time.
Forecasts
Dilmun (6/4), Barca (9/4), Bowden (10/3), Gloves On (7/1), Soft Kiss (20/1), Glenmoore (25/1), Mystical Affair (50/1), Tynamite (66/1), Creggs Lad (66/1)
Dilmun is likely to improve on his debut showing for this trainer at Leopardstown and should be in attendance at the finish but preference is for BOWDEN who made some progress from first to second start and can do so again here for the Halford team. The son of Street Cry should handle this surface and gets the nod just ahead of Barca, who holds a similar level of form and will be sporting blinkers for the first time now. He must be respected with Ballydoyle in excellent form but he had every chance last time and couldn't see the job out whereas the selection has yet to really scrap out a finish. Soft Kiss is worth noting in the betting on reappearance and she may have a good season in front of her.
