Tiple²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

6/4

Ran well when finishing fifth on debut at The Curragh (7f, good) three weeks ago. Repeat of that should see her play a leading role dropping in trip.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs D A Love

25/1

Well held in a 7f maiden on good-to-firm ground here when making her debut a month ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Amberscole⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: S Foley| T: A B Joyce

66/1

Struggled when making her debut in a 5f maiden at Navan (good-to-firm) recently. Step up in trip should suit but probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

Tiple (6/4), Gold Memory (7/2), Vhagar (9/2), Dingle Bay (10/1), Mia Mento (14/1), Sand Castle (14/1), Jarrocho (16/1), Manard (16/1), Sevenaday (20/1), Instantaneous (20/1), Hidden Spark (25/1), Imposing Supreme (33/1), All For Power (33/1), Social Imposer (66/1), Amberscole (66/1)

VHAGAR looks capable of getting off the mark at the second attempt in the opening maiden contest. The selection ran well in first time blinkers last time out and a repeat of that effort can see him see off Tiple who ran well on debut last time. Third place can go the way of Gold Memory who makes her debut for a leading stable.
