4,700 gns yearling by Railway Stakes winner Lilbourne Lad out of a dam who was a 7f AW winner. Nothing of note in a couple of starts as a juvenile and much improvement to be found on seasonal debut.
Big Bad Bob colt out of a Duke Of Marmalade mare. Cost £1,500 as a yearling and well beaten on debut earlier this month; easy to oppose.
Dawn Approach colt, dam a Group 3 winner and won over 7f as a juvenile. Failed to build on a promising debut run in October when making no impression on the leaders before being eased inside the final furlong at Naas last month.
Colt by Rip Van Winkle out of a Shamardal mare. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut but it should be noted the yards three-year-old, Clashaniska ran well to finish second of 20 in a Naas 7f maiden earlier this month behind Flash Gordon.
February foal by Zoffany out of a Vettori mare. Half brother to Washington DC and Dolphin Vista. Taking performance on debut in a Gowran Park two-year-old maiden in October finishing second of 16 beaten 2¼L. Market possibly best guide on return.
Bated Breath colt, cost €26,000 as a foal and 72,000gns as a yearling. Five-race maiden who has run well in defeat on a couple of occasions this year. May need luck in running and one or two of these to falter.
€55,000 yearling by Zoffany out of a Pivotal mare. Yet to win but placed in six of eight starts to date so certainly has ability and a consistency about him. Deserves a change of luck.
130,000 gns purchase. Showed a bit of ability on debut at Naas in September before a never nearer fifth of 20 beaten 5L a month later in a Leopardstown two-year-old maiden over 1m on good to yielding ground. Worth a market check.
Colt by Rip Van Winkle out of a Dubai Destination. Market likely to be the best guide on debut, but yard are in good shape right now boasting a 33% strike rate in the last 14 days from nine runners.
Canford Cliffs gelding out of a Pivotal mare. Cost €34,000 as a yearling. Pushed along on over 2f out before making no impression on the leaders on debut last month at Navan over 1m, finishing fifth of 16 beaten over 6L. Open to improvement.
Home-bred Vocalised colt out of a Galileo mare. Brother to 1m-1m6f winner Cimeara. Plenty to like about his debut run at Navan last month and looks open to significant improvement.
Filly by Tamayuz out of an Acclamation mare. Dam winner over 5f as a two-year-old and successful over 7f on the AW. Yards debutantes' often need their first run.
Elzaam filly out of a Authorized mare. Unfancied and never got involved on Naas debut last month before another disappointing run here over a similar trip finishing down the field beaten over 13L. Plenty of improvement required.
Fast Company filly out of a Generous mare. Sire was a lightly raced but top class two-year-old. Looked overwhelmed in a couple of career spins as a juvenile last term beaten over 10L on both occasions. Looks up against it here.
Fast Company colt out of a Fantastic Light mare. Half brother to Listed winner Coupe De Ville. Running well in defeat on her first couple of starts to date as a two-year-old in October last year. Not ruled out but needs improvement from two to three
Filly by Bungle Inthejungle out of a Clodovil mare. Sire going well in his early stallion career producing Group 3 Molecomb and Brian Yeardley Two-Year-Old winners. This filly, however, has so far disappointed in a couple of starts.
Filly by Ravens Pass out of a Diktat mare. €25,000 as a foal before going for €55,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to winners Silas R and Glorious Player successful in Sweden over 1m. Yards debutantes' often in need of the first run.
Forecasts
Georgeville (7/2), Killourney (4/1), Royal Court (5/1), Scorched Earth (11/2), Tracker Saga (7/1), Starlite Dancer (8/1), Marshall Law (10/1), Shennan (16/1), Romantic Proposal (33/1), Gerry's Way (33/1), Is She About (33/1), Giavanna (66/1), Autumn Mist (66/1), Beau Geste (200/1), Champagne Terri (200/1), One For Della (200/1), Bright Flame (200/1)
The most experienced runner in the field, ROYAL COURT could take the race by the scruff of the neck here under jockey Donnacha O'Brien and have a few in trouble some way out before landing the spoils to get off the mark for connections at the ninth time of asking. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can hold off the attentions of Georgeville and Killourney. Any market move for the Mick Halford-trained Shennan should be noted.
