Rip Van Winkle gelding, first foal from a speedy dam who was Listed placed. Fifth of 16 on debut at Fairyhouse last month. Worth a market check here.

By Zebedee out of a Bachelor Duke related to Spring Loaded, Magical Memory and recent winner Global Tango. Tough ask on debut.

66/1

Casamento gelding out of a Fasliyev mare. Stallion hasn't exactly set the bloodstock world alight so best watched on debut.

Not disgraced on debut here over 1m when finishing ninth beaten 6¾L before finishing seventh of 10 last time out earlier this month. Needs to improve significantly.

Noivo

20/1

Casamento colt was an inexpensive purchase as a yearling and is probably going to prove best watched on debut unless vibes are to the contrary.

Roland Song

Colt by Frozen Power out of a Holy Roman Emperor mare. Yard without a winner from 24 starts this season and not renowned for their juveniles.

9/2

One notable performance from three in maidens so far, being beaten 2L over 6f at Leopardstown in June on good ground. Second of 14 here last week puts the colt right in the mix here.

Zwack¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Murray

50/1

19,000gns yearling by Equiano out of a 7f-1m winner in Italy. Well beaten and no impression on debut here earlier in the month and others readily preferred.

Bella Signora¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H De Bromhead

2/1

Never landed a blow on debut here last time but wasn't given a particularly hard ride and experienced some trouble in-running before a promising and much improved run last time out. Will look to progress here.

Form: 93

Downtown Diva^t²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J Davison| OR: 60

12/1

Posted a handful of decent efforts on turf but AW form leaves her with a bit to find. Likely to be a bit part player if making the line-up.

33/1

5/2

Epaulette filly is a half-sister to three winners, including 5f winner Aggression, promising on debut when finishing fifth of 14 beaten 5L here in September. Should make her presence felt.

Elzaam filly out of a Lagunas mare, yard without a winner from 22 two-year-old runners this season. Market likely to reveal expectations.
