Off time: 15:36 | Winning time: 1m 59.33s

(7)

Cacique Royale²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: A Oliver

16/1

Failed to build on a promising debut at Naas when tried over this trip at the same course. May need more time to fulfil his potential.

Form: 60

(10)

Escamillo¹⁷¹

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

5/1

Bated Breath colt, who cost 100,000 gns as a yearling. Never threatened to play a part on debut, but should be wiser this time and the step up in trip is likely to suit.

Form: 9

(11)

Escapability

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford

16/1

Excelebration colt who is a half-brother to four winners over a variety of distances from 1m to 2m. Worth a market check on debut.

Flindt⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

25/1

By Most Improved out of a Pentre Celebre mare, he cost 12,000 gns as a yearling. Slowly into stride on debut at Listowel over this distance, but kept on in the closing stages.

Form: 6

(6)

Lone Voice¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: K J Condon

9/2

Cost €9,000 and is out of a half-sister to French Group 3 winner Summertime Legacy. Showed some ability on debut at Gowran Park and should be wiser this time.

Form: 5

(9)

Might Be For Luck^b1³³

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

25/1

Dream Ahead gelding who cost €50,000 as a foal and was sold for £20,000 as a yearling. Slowly away and never a factor on debut at Dundalk, he is fitted with blinkers for his second start.

Form: 0

(3)

Most Impressive¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M C Hussey| T: A Keatley

66/1

Has beaten only one rival in two starts at Dundalk. Clearly needs to take a big step forward to get involved.

Form: 07

(8)

Rips Dream¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: E J McNamara| T: P J Flynn

66/1

Full-brother to a winning miler and a half-brother to Mademoiselle Penny, who won at 1m2f and 1m4f. Never got involved on debut at Gowran Park and looks a long-term prospect.

Form: 0

(5)

Stoic Soul

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon

33/1

Gelded son of Jeremy who cost €30,000 as a yearling and comes from a winning family over middle distances. Likely to be all the better for this debut run.

Form:

(2)

Tashman^b1²⁴

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

7/4

Beaten quite a long way on first two starts, but took a big step forward when second of 10, albeit beaten by 6L, at Tipperary. Seems to be getting his act together and should go well again in first-time blinkers.

Form: 492

(12)

Vinnie's Wish¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D W O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell

10/1

By Most Improved out of a Theatrical mare, he is related to winners Just For The Craic and Eire Rock. Signs of ability when fourth of seven over 7f on debut at Limerick and should improve.

Form: 4

(4)

Viscount Wilson¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

4/1

Did not really step up on a promising debut at Roscommon when fifth of eight at Dundalk last time. Others have stronger profiles.

Form: 45

Forecasts

Tashman (7/4), Viscount Wilson (4/1), Lone Voice (9/2), Escamillo (5/1), Vinnie's Wish (10/1), Escapability (16/1), Cacique Royale (16/1), Flindt (25/1), Might Be For Luck (25/1), Stoic Soul (33/1), Most Impressive (66/1), Rips Dream (66/1)

Not the strongest of juvenile maidens and one which may go to TASHMAN, who showed marked improvement on his last outing and may take another step forward now that he is fitted with blinkers, Escamillo and Lone Voice are likely improvers, while some interesting newcomers are headed by Escapability and Stoic Soul.
