Seventh foal. Related to winners at up to 1m. Stable runners usually improve with experience.

Glimmer of ability in a pair of maidens on the Flat. Better known as a hurdler though disappointed in that sphere last time.

Showed plenty of promise in a couple of maidens at Dundalk early in the year but not in the same form on turf debut when last seen in June. Has been gelded since and the lay off indicates there may have been a problem so could conceivably improve.

Front-runner who disappointed on handicap debut on latest but this sharp drop in trip could help and earlier placed efforts certainly pit him in the mix in this company.

Half brother to a 6f winner in Italy. Interesting to see how goes in market for top stable.

Runner up in a Dundalk maiden last November and off the track before Fairyhouse comeback last month. Long absence suggests there could have been a problem and should strip fitter with the extra distance likely to suit.

Made his debut over 1m4f in May and not seen again but that form has worked out really well with the first five home all having won since and three of them having an official,rating in excess of 100. One of the more interesting ones in this maiden.

Ordinary form in a pair of maidens at further and probably one for handicaps following this.

Horse silk
66/1
Little ability in two maidens at big prices and needs to find plenty of improvement to figure.
First foal, dam was a maiden who was best at 7f.

Fourth foal. Related to a winner over 1m5f so could find this on the sharp side on debut.

Fourth foal. Related to winners at various trips. Yard having a decent run of late.

Second foal. Sister to a winner at 1m.
Related to three winners from 6f to 1m2f. One of the more likely newcomers on paper.

Similar level of form in a pair of 1m maidens. Needs to find improvement but that is a possibility and one to consider.

Ran well all starts as a juvenile. Disappointing when hot favourite on belated comeback but improved for that when beaten a neck by 90 rated rival at Cork recently. A repeat of that would see her go close in this.

42.000 gns yearling. Related to plenty of winners and with the stable in good form, is certainly worth noting in the betting.
Dam won at 1m and other winners in the pedigree.

Horse silk
8/1
Showed plenty of promise on belated debut when 4L sixth of 18 over 7f at Cork recently. Shaped as though this longer trip should suit and entitled to improve for that. One of the more interesting types.
24
Horse silk
50/1
Some promise in a pair of well contested maidens but they were in the summer of 2017 and absence since is a concern.

Forecasts

Minnie Haha (11/4), Stronghold (4/1), Freetown (5/1), Johnny Drama (6/1), Waterlemon Bay (8/1), Cockalorum (10/1), Pienta (16/1), Ten Joys (16/1), Maajmeh Dawn (20/1), Warning Light (20/1), Media City (20/1), Nuzzles (25/1), Kodi's Girl (25/1), Star Sapphire (33/1), Tickled (50/1), Adnap (50/1), Motcomb Street (50/1), Chalfont Colony (50/1), Esprit De Vent (50/1), Walking On Glass (66/1), Khafaaq (66/1), Barbie O'Conor (66/1), Big Bad Loans (66/1), Cj Cregg (66/1), Crinkell (66/1)

Verdict

A weak maiden for the track and the debut run of STRONGHOLD in the summer makes him of some appeal providing he is ready to do himself justice after the break. MINNIE HAHA is an obvious threat while FREETOWN could improve for the drop in trip.
  1. Stronghold
  2. Minnie Haha
  3. Freetown
