Drapers Guild⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 83

7/1

Dutch Art colt, cost 40,000 gns as a foal and €90,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to several useful winners and improved on two second-rate efforts when only beaten 2¼L at Leopardstown in July. Would have to improve again on return.

Hazapour³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld

5/2

Shamardal colt who dam is a half-sister to Derby winner Harzand and related to recent Ascot winner Cape Byron. Yard have had a hard time of it this term with just three two-year-old winners from 33 starters.

Hunting Horn³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien

4/6

Camelot colt who was fourth of 16 on debut at at the Curragh and can be expected to come on for that run and is likely to be a warm order in this.

Form: 4

Shifted Strategy⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR: 75| BF

11/1

Has run consistently but has often found the company a little too hot and that could well be the case again today. Others make more appeal.

Whirling Dervish

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington

25/1

By Camelot out of a Victory Note mare. Yard have had a fine year with their juveniles, saddling 11 winners from 73 going to post. Market will give a clue to the well-being of this youngster.

Forecasts

Hunting Horn (4/6), Hazapour (5/2), Drapers Guild (7/1), Shifted Strategy (11/1), Whirling Dervish (25/1)

The Aiden O'Brien-trained Camelot colt HUNTING HORN could be a warm order in the betting and will have plenty of supporters following an encouraging debut at the Curragh last month. Hazapour and interesting newcomer, Whirling Dervish can battle for the minor honours.
