Dani's Boy^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: P A Fahy

25/1

No show in either start when sent off at lengthy odds and may do better over further in due course.

Form: 0-6

Mayaadeen²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Leigh Roche| T: D K Weld| BF

6/5

€750,000 brother to Group 2 winner Cable Bay. Costly failure on both starts and behind Take A Nap on his return. Looks up to winning a modest race such as this.

Form: 23

Morley Gunner

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: S Donohoe

33/1

€12,000 Elzaam half-brother to winners in Italy and Slovakia. Likely to need this with yard not having had a Flat winner in Ireland since February 2016.

Perry Square¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J McNamara| T: F Costello

100/1

Cost just €1,400 and lacks the glamour of some of the rest on pedigree. Last of 11 on debut when sent off at 80/1.

Form: 0

Take A Nap²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 76

15/8

Had Mayaadeen back in third when the pair contested the lead at Gowran four weeks ago. Disappointing since when ridden differently.

Form: 625

Elegant Lass

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Gibney

33/1

Dandy Man half-sister to three minor winners. In capable hands but this may be asking too much first time out.

Form:

Freiheit²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery

7/2

Acclamation filly, half-sister to six winners. Dam a Listed winner and a half-sister to a Group 2 winner. Fourth in a couple of Gowran maidens and needs to find more than she did between races one and two.

Form: 44

(9)

Merci Madame

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H De Bromhead

11/1

More Than Ready newcomer and half-sister to a 2m2f Flat winner who needed testing ground. Yard in form but she needs to have inherited plenty of speed from her sire.

Form:

(1)

Shifting Spirit

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer

66/1

Zebedee half-sister to a couple of minor winners. Yard 0-82 with their Irish Flat runners since 2014 so hard to fancy.

Mayaadeen (6/5), Take A Nap (15/8), Freiheit (7/2), Merci Madame (11/1), Dani's Boy (25/1), Elegant Lass (33/1), Morley Gunner (33/1), Shifting Spirit (66/1), Perry Square (100/1)

Having failed twice to justify odds of 8/13 then there are some reservations surrounding MAYAADEEN who is an expensive half-brother to the useful Cable Bay. It is possible he over-raced last time when trying to match strides with Take A Nap and finishing a few lengths adrift. With that run under his belt and with Jim Bolger's charge underachieving since, the selection is given one more chance. Freiheit is with a trainer who does well with his fillies and she should have little difficulty in enhancing her paddock value at some point.
