12/1

€18,000 yearling by Poet's Voice out of an unraced dam. Half-brother to two winners including one over hurdles and fences. May need longer trips to see the best of him and this month's Curragh debut reinforced that theory.

25/1

Gelding by Most Improved out of a Touch Of The Blues mare. Cheap purchase as a yearling, did show some promise in recent debut at Galway (7f, yielding) and chance of building on that run now.

Forecasts

Queen Ryker (7/2), Pulsing Dragon (9/2), Will Be King (11/2), Dreamboat Dave (6/1), Palabres (13/2), Power Down (8/1), Nonstop Talker (12/1), Jarrocho (16/1), Zeb Spirit (20/1), Puddymore (25/1), Fortunate Max (40/1), Don't Tell Ronan (66/1), Jewel Love (66/1), Aishling's Vision (100/1), Dirk Diggler (100/1), Dom's Angel (100/1)

QUEEN RYKER made a pleasing start at Galway and, with improvement, is deemed capable of opening her account second time out. Palabres hasn’t lived up to market expectations just yet, but isn’t to be cast aside, while Puddymore ran a better race last time at Galway and can build on that. Pulsing Dragon looks sure to make an impact soon while newcomer Dreamboat Dave needs a closer examination in the market.
