Evasive Power^v1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| D

6/1

Elusive Quality colt, cost €4,000 as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to three winners. Impressive winner on debut and while he failed to back that up here last time, he had excuses that day (interference in the run). May do better in first-time visor.

15/8

Requinto colt, dam a winner and sister to a winner over this trip. Overcame inexperience to win at Dundalk on debut and ran well in Listed class at Naas last time. This looks easier and capable of going well.

Form: 13

Pride Of Pimlico³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: B W Duke| D

11/1

Casamento colt who cost €10,000 as a yearling. Dam won over 5f. Winner on debut at Naas but fairly well beaten in two subsequent starts since. Possible he might want a return to rain softened conditions.

Form: 125

Dom Carlos^b¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

11/1

Gale Force Ten colt, cost €34,000 as a foal and £45,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to three winning sprinters and dam a winning sprinter. Improved from debut to finish fifth of 13 here last time. Will need to improve again back down in trip.

Form: 05

Dandys Ocean¹⁹

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

7/2

Dandy Man filly, dam a winner over this trip as a juvenile. Made an impressive start to her career with a C&D win. Couldn't land a blow in Listed class last time but this is probably easier.

Form: 14

(4)

Tenax

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien

16/1

Slade Power colt, cost €43,000 as a yearling. Related to winners over further. First season sire has made a promising start to his career but likely second string on jockey bookings here and others preferred.

Bailly

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

4/1

Charm Spirit filly, cost 65,000 gns as a foal and 100,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to seven winners including a Listed winner. Plenty to like in her pedigree, while she may want more, can't be discounted.

EVASIVE POWER was inconvenienced in the run last time out and he may be able to return to the winners' enclosure on just his third start after an impressive win at Navan on debut. Offline and Dandys Ocean both ran well in Listed class last time and may be the main dangers.
