Joe The Crow¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Hugh Horgan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J P O'Brien

25/1

Modest maiden hurdler, well beaten and no impression on AW debut over 1m earlier this month. Faces a tough test with big step up in trip.

Form: 9

(2)

Sinbad¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Colin Keane| T: R J Osborne

33/1

By Dylan Thomas out of a Sinndar mare. Nothing of note in three career starts in bumpers over recent months. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove.

You Bank^h1⁶⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: P Meany

50/1

Son of Dandy Man last seen in a 1m Naas maiden over 18-months ago. First-time hood unlikely to make much difference on return to action.

Form: 0-

Dawn Trouper^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 72

7/2

Plenty to like about his short-head defeat here last month when stepping up 4½f to finish second of 10. Likely to improve for another trip increase.

Form: 324502

Far Reach^p,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 72

5/1

Five race maiden on the Flat and well held when running between 1m2f and 1m5f in the summer. Will need to raise overall profile to land a blow.

Form: 8-4660

(11)

Jazzy J^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: A McCann

25/1

Gelding by Red Jazz out of a Singspiel mare. Yard just seven winner on the Flat since the turn of the year and the three-year-old is liable to find a couple stronger in this line-up.

Form:

(8)

Primadonia^t1⁵⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: M P Sunderland| OR: 60

25/1

Disappointing filly by Bated Breath for trainers Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes. Not seen since the summer of 2017 and best watched on comeback.

Form: 8/46768-

(10)

Wajaaha²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: D Hogan| OR: 85

11/8

Has shown plenty of promise in a trio of starts on AW and recently when runner-up at Kempton before finishing second of 17 in a 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month on final start for Godolphin. Should be a leading contender.

Form: 3-222

(3)

Wedding Photo^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 52

33/1

Still a maiden after five starts but placed here on yard debut in February following a move from Godolphin. Down the field over C&D last month and first-time cheekpieces unlikely to make much difference.

Form: 6-3678

(4)

Cj Cregg^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Downey| T: J C McConnell

33/1

Daughter of Arcano out of a Beat Hollow mare. Well beaten on debut at 66/1 in a Leopardstown 1m1f maiden last month. That run doesn't warrant support here.

Form: 0

(6)

Elusive Intrusive¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: L Lennon

66/1

Well held when finishing down the pack in a couple of starts here last month. Step up in trip not guaranteed to suit and best avoided in this company.

Form: 08

(13)

Intermedia¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 70

5/1

Improved on a couple of below-par runs to finish third of 10 beaten 1½L in a 1m2½f maiden here last month for trainer Mick Halford. Open to improvement on stable debut.

Form: 83603

(12)

Madame Delavanti²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery| OR: 63

12/1

Appears not to be seeing her races out recently. Not ruled out but a number of disappointing runs to shake off stepping up in trip.

Form: 45254

Forecasts

Wajaaha (11/8), Dawn Trouper (7/2), Far Reach (5/1), Intermedia (5/1), Madame Delavanti (12/1), Jazzy J (25/1), Joe The Crow (25/1), Primadonia (25/1), Cj Cregg (33/1), Wedding Photo (33/1), Sinbad (33/1), You Bank (50/1), Elusive Intrusive (66/1)

Purchased for 56,000 guineas last month, the three-time runner-up, former Godolphin owned WAJAAHA could take some stopping here on stable debut for Denis Hogan and the Premier Racing Club. The former Saeed Bin Suroor-trained three-year-old can land the spoils here from the improving Dawn Trouper and stable debutante' Intermedia.
