Fancy Dresser¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: A McNamara| OR: 82| D

12/1

Style Vendome colt out of a Sunday Break mare. Winner in France but stallion hasn't exactly set the bloodstock world on fire and market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.

Boragh Steps²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 78| D

7/4

Fairyhouse maiden winner ran well enough in three 5f starts at the end of the year. Shaped like the step up in trip would suit. Worth a market check.

Won on debut here over 5f beating It's All A Joke 1¼L last month. Will only come on for the experience stepping up in trip.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gary Halpin⁽³⁾| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 81| D

10/3

Distance winner on a trip to Wolverhampton last month taking a novice stakes in good style. Another bold show looks likely.

Kareless

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: M P Sunderland

40/1

Power filly out of a Celtic Swing mare related to Essenaitch and Peace Envoy. Looks a long-term prospect and will be better for the experience on debut.

Tell Me^p1¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: C P Hoban| T: A McCann| OR: 63

25/1

Has generally disappointed on a number of drab performances when with trainer Simon Crisford. Very little to be positive about on stable debut and return to the track. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Form: 849-

Forecasts

Canford Art (6/4), Boragh Steps (7/4), Hello Brigette (10/3), It's All A Joke (8/1), Fancy Dresser (12/1), Tell Me (25/1), Kareless (40/1)

CANFORD ART can confirm the merits of her taking win over It's All A Joke here over 5f last month but may face stiff opposition from impressive Wolverhampton winner Hello Brigette from the Michael O'Callaghan yard. The Joseph O'Brien trained Boragh Steps likes it round here and can give the main protagonists the most to think about.
