33/1

€12,000 as a foal. Zoffany gelding out of a Spectrum mare. Well held on debut here seven days ago over 1m. Drop in trip and first-time hood/eye cover combination unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here

Bated Breath colt, cost €26,000 as a foal and 72,000 gns as a yearling. Appeared to be improving with every run when finishing third of 20 beaten 4¼L in a Leopardstown maiden over 1m when last seen in October. May need others to falter.

Forecasts

Jered Maddox (15/8), Marshall Law (3/1), Red Sole Diva (5/1), Jupiter Road (8/1), Oneiroi (8/1), Drumquina (8/1), Total Recharge (10/1), It's Not Too Late (20/1), Queen Mia (28/1), Eyeoweyou (33/1), Katie Blue (50/1), Little Stone (100/1)

The form of the Joseph O'Brien yard is impossible to ignore given they have a 37% win and place strike rate in the last three years in February round here and a 22% strike rate here in the last 30 days. The yards pair JUPITER ROAD who left plenty of room for improvement on first start in October and debutante Red Sole Diva should be noted in the market. Potential improver Jered Maddox and Marshall Law could be the biggest threat on AW introduction.
