Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Enright| T: Kevin Coleman

100/1

Alanari

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: M Halford

25/1

Unraced colt by Canford Cliffs out of a Refuse To Bend mare. Yard usually in good form here around this time of year and market likely to reveal chances on debut.

Boston Bruin⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

11/4

Kodiac colt, cost 160,000 gns as a yearling. Followed up promising debut at the Curragh in June when running Western Australia to 4¾L at Gowran Park when last seen in September. One to be interested in.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

16/1

March foal cost €15,000 as a yearling by Red Jazz out of a Silver Hawk mare. Encouraging third of 14 beaten 3L behind Harriet's Force on debut here last month. Strong place claims on second start.

16/1

February foal, cost 40,000 guineas as a yearling by No Nay Never out of a Darshaan mare. Market check needed from yard who don't have many AW juveniles.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

14/1

March foal by Olympic Glory out of a Giant's Causeway mare. Cost €28,000 as a yearling and liable to need the experience on first start.

Jasikan⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford

7/4

Very promising debut when belying odds of 50/1 at the Curragh in August over 7f. Open to plenty of improvement from a yard who boast attractive returns around here in early/mid November.

Form: 6

Military Star^t1³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: C O'Brien

50/1

Medaglia D'Oro colt, well held on a couple of career starts since September and first time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 07

Pearland⁸⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney

66/1

Zoffany colt, cost €31,000 as a yearling. Last of eight on debut in a 1m Leopardstown maiden in August and improvement unlikely here.

Phoenix Open

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

25/1

Scat Daddy colt out of a Stevie Wonderboy mare. Worth a market check on debut from a yard that boast a 62% win and place strike rate here in early/mid November since 2014.

Thief Of Joy¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

7/2

Casamento gelding out of a Mujadil mare. Youngster can build on promising starts at Fairyhouse and Naas for a yard that goes well here around this time of year.

Form: 56

(4)

Tigray⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Related to turf winners in the USA and has a very likeable pedigree. Expected to improve on poor debut run at Naas recently and not to be taken lightly.

Form: 0

Turf Range¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Broad

40/1

Canford Cliffs colt, not disgraced at 100/1 on debut when 5¾L adrift of impressive winner San Andreas at Naas last month. Could be interesting stepping up in trip.

Forecasts

Jasikan (7/4), Boston Bruin (11/4), Thief Of Joy (7/2), Hereia (14/1), Cocktail Time (16/1), Brothers In Arms (16/1), Tigray (20/1), Phoenix Open (25/1), Alanari (25/1), Numerian (25/1), Cold War (25/1), Turf Range (40/1), Military Star (50/1), Pearland (66/1), Act Of Magic (100/1)

The Jessica Harrington-trained BOSTON BRUIN ran the Group 1 Futurity Trophy third, Western Australia to 4¾L at Gowran Park when last seen in September and any repeat of that form stepping up in trip here gives the Kodiac colt a major say in this contest. Potential improvers Jasikan from the Mick Halford yard and the Ger Lyons-trained Thief Of Joy can hit the frame here, while Brothers In Arms should not be underestimated following promising C&D debut.
