Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh

50/1

Will need to improve on disappointing debut over 7f at the Curragh and a 14L defeat next time out at Bellewstown over 1m on good ground. Tough ask and others preferred.

Form: 07

Don't Do It²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: R Tyner

66/1

Casamento gelding finished last of nine over 7f at Gowran Park on debut, before fifth of six beaten 15L last time out at the same track. Needs to improve considerably now.

Form: 95

Finvarra^h¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: W P Browne

50/1

Hooded on debut when beaten 18L and well behind Spanish Point at Tipperary. Hard to fancy on that performance and vast improvement required.

Form: 6

Imaging²¹

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

6/4

Ran well on debut in a Gowran Park maiden finishing 3¼L behind the winner The King last month. May appreciate the drop in trip.

Spanish Point^t¹¹

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

8/11

By Frankel out of a Pivotal mare who was sixth of 16 beaten 3L in a competitive Curragh maiden in August before an improved second of seven beaten a head last month at Tipperary. The one to beat.

Form: 62

Vinnie's Wish

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: J C McConnell

14/1

By Most Improved out of a Theatrical mare. Related to winners Just For The Craic and Eire Rock. Market will reveal likely expectations.

Way Back Home^t⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: C Roche| OR: 73

20/1

Sent off 50/1 in 6f maiden at the Curragh and finished in midfield amongst 17 rivals, before finishing 10th of 14 beaten 7¾L at the same track in August. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 680

Forecasts

Spanish Point (8/11), Imaging (6/4), Vinnie's Wish (14/1), Way Back Home (20/1), Baba Boom (50/1), Finvarra (50/1), Don't Do It (66/1)

The Aiden O'Brien-trained SPANISH POINT is likely to be a warm order here following a fine run last time out, with Dermot Weld's Imaging giving the selection the most to think about, while Way Back Home could lead the rest of the field home.
