Gelded son of Le Cadre Noir and a half-brother to four time winner Excelli. Disappointing on debut when never a factor, finishing 10th of 11, beaten 18L at 50/1.
75,000 gns yearling who was sold cheaply unraced in August 2016, but hasn't shown much in either start in maidens at The Curragh and Galway to offer encouragement for the future.
Sir Percy gelding out of In The Pink. A half-brother to various winners and is probably worth a glance in the market on debut.
Royal Applause gelding whose two starts in maidens have been punctuated by an extended break. He's tried both 7f and 1m2f to no avail, and now falls into an intermediate trip seeking some signs of ability.
Nothing of any note on first two career Flat starts, following a debut spin over hurdles at Roscommon in June.
Twice raced in England on Polytrack for Sir Michael Stoute, but moved on at Goffs for £14,000 in May. Could do better on his first start on turf for new trainer.
Midfield finishes in a couple of 7f maidens that were split four months apart. His latest effort came on heavy ground at Roscommon on Monday and he could prove stronger for that race.
Not one of the yards leading lights, and becoming a shade frustrating after four career starts. Has raced mainly beyond 1m (by Duke Of Marmalade) and drops back into a maiden from a nursery handicap.
Shown clear signs on all three starts so far, but probably found the step up in trip too much at The Curragh latest (1m2f) when third to Night Of Glory. Possibly more effective if ridden with restraint.
Her best effort came in a C&D maiden in April when a ½L runner up to So You Thought. However she's not progressed since over admittedly differing trips and arrives wearing the first time cheek-pieces and tongue tie combination.
Thrice raced Frankel filly, who is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Jet Away. Has stepped up in trip on each of her three starts (1m to 1m4f), so on drier ground this will prove a much different test. Can get unsettled in the stalls.
€1.7M yearling by Frankel out of the ultra talented mare Alexander Goldrun. Closely related to Juniper Tree, so all eyes in this contest will be geared towards an immaculately bred filly starting off her career much later than anticipated.
Unraced €72,000 yearling by Sir Prancealot out of Startori. Her dam was a Listed placed 7f juvenile winner, and this filly is a half-sister to various winners including Liber.
Not able to break her duck in four previous attempts, but her latest efforts suggest she'll find a race in her own grade in time, but this is tough today.
13th foal by Casamento out of a US placed dam (Virgin Hawk). A half-sister to eight winners, but likely to be very much sharper for her racecourse debut.
Unraced Acclamation filly out of Dream Club, and a half-sister to the dual purpose winner Prince Charmin. Hails from much respected connections, but this newcomer looks likely to be stronger over longer trips.
Unraced second foal by Medicean out of the 1m winner Burn The Floor. This trip is likely to suit her down to the ground initially, but this looks a competitive event in which to be starting off.
Second Reserve: Never able to figure on either start to date (both over 7f) and needs to show much more.

GOLDRUSH forms the sole talking point in an otherwise typically open looking Irish maiden. Her pedigree is that of a future Champion after a mating of the invincible Frankel and the Group 1 winning mare Alexander Goldrun. She cost an eye-watering €1.7m as a yearling and makes her racecourse debut far later than would've been anticipated back then, but nevertheless is a fascinating prospect for the masterful combination of Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning to go to war with for the remainder of the season. Of those with racecourse experience, Frima is the pick, and this drop in trip on faster ground might conceivably suit.
