Lethal Turbo²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C O'Donoghue| T: M Halford

6/1

A €50,000 yearling, the Lethal Force colt is a half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f-1m1f winner Just A Penny. Disappointed on debut when weakening over 1f out over 6f on debut at the Curragh this month. Expected to improve.

£44,000 yearling Zoffany filly. Dam placed over 1m1f in France. Sixth of 10 beaten over 9L on debut in a 5f maiden at the Curragh. Improvement possible but a big ask in this company.

Morpheus colt who cost €22,000 as a yearling. Related to a few winners over sprint distances. Failed to build on promising debut at Naas in March with a heavy defeat at the Curragh this month. Tough ask.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

8/1

Havana Gold colt out of a Dylan Thomas mare cost €20,000 as a yearling. Yard starting to unleash their juveniles and worth a market check.

16/1

Born To Sea gelding, cost €8,500 as a yearling. Not a good sign he's already been gelded at this stage of his career but hints of ability on debut at Navan this month.

Forecasts

Palabres (2/1), Cruella Dovil (3/1), Lethal Turbo (6/1), Heavenly Rainbow (8/1), Hyde Park Corner (8/1), Chernish (10/1), Gunslinger (16/1), Posh Holly (16/1), Beau Warrior (18/1), Count D'Orsay (22/1), Saltillo (25/1), Rhosgobel (25/1), Friars Walk (28/1), Joza (33/1), Dark Conqueror (33/1), Mister Kipling (66/1)

Owners Anamoine Limited like plenty of juvenile winners with trainer Ger Lyons and PALABRES can build on a promising debut at Navan last month by landing the spoils here. The filly was beaten favourite on her first start when beaten 3¾L on yielding to soft ground and can recoup losses here. The Charles O'Brien-trained Count D'orsay and Cruella Dovil can improve on their debut runs while debutante Heavenly Rainbow is worthy of consideration.
