Bobby Cool

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A McNamara

33/1

Newcomer by Alhebayeb out of a 7f winner who stayed 1m2f. Yard more associated with jumpers but top rider engaged and worth a market check in a race lacking depth.

Form:

(12)

Cocktail Time¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: K Prendergast

10/1

February foal, cost 40,000 guineas as a yearling by No Nay Never out of a Darshaan mare. Looked green on debut but showed clear promise and he has been gelded during the winter.

Form: 7-

(8)

Desert Viper³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Leigh Roche| T: J A Stack

6/1

50,000 gns yearling. Third foal of an unraced dam. Half-brother to moderate winner on AW over 1m. Sent off at 25/1 when only beating one home on debut and drastic improvement will be needed.

Form: 0

Landing Zone^t1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

7/1

Showed some improvement on reappearance but he has made things difficult for himself by breaking tardily on each start. Has each-way claims in an uncompetitive race.

Form: 0-6

(4)

Segenhoe¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy

8/1

Showed some ability on debut and yard's horse can improve a lot for a run. Top rider retains the mount and he is one to note in trading.

Form: 8

(10)

Tham Luang²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: B W Duke

25/1

Arcano colt, half-brother to four winners including useful sprinter Intisaab. Mid-division in a better race than this on debut and yard just 3-133 with their three-year-olds on turf in last five years.

Form: 0

(9)

The Mpex Kid

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: Mrs D A Love

33/1

11,000 gns half-brother to four winners who were all effective around this trip. Likely to need his first run but worth watching for the future.

Form:

(1)

Twentysixthstreet

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ross Coakley| T: Andrew Hughes

33/1

Zoffany colt out of a mare who scored in Listed company and whose first three foals are all winners. One to bear in mind for the future but this may come too soon.

Form:

(5)

Galtee Mist^h1¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

11/2

Outran odds of 66/1 at Naas to finish second to an 89-rated filly. The fourth has won a Group 3 and that form stands out in this company. However, returns from a break for a yard who are yet to have a winner this year.

Form: 02-

(2)

Muirisc⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J J Murphy

66/1

Only had one behind her on debut in a 23-runner Naas maiden. Will improve for the run but yard are having a quiet time.

Form: 0

Oh Rosie¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: J G Murphy

20/1

Mid-division on Cork debut when looking green on debut. Galtee Mist would have to be considered the yard's main hope, but the booking of Shane Foley indicates she is no forlorn hope. Stable form is a concern though.

Form: 9

(11)

Time Tunnel

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

6/4

Filly by Invincible Spirit out Group 1 winning mare Timepiece. Stable 9-42 with their turf three-year-olds in 2019 and she is not highly tried on debut.

Form:

(7)

Wakita⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: J P Fahey

50/1

Showed marginal improvement last time but she will need to take a much bigger step forward to be involved here.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Time Tunnel (6/4), Galtee Mist (11/2), Desert Viper (6/1), Landing Zone (7/1), Segenhoe (8/1), Cocktail Time (10/1), Oh Rosie (20/1), Tham Luang (25/1), The Mpex Kid (33/1), Twentysixthstreet (33/1), Bobby Cool (33/1), Wakita (50/1), Muirisc (66/1)

The impeccably bred TIME TUNNEL may be good enough to take this given her yard's success rate with this age group this year and doubts whether Galtee Mist can reproduce her last effort after an absence and with her yard struggling for winners. Cocktail Zone, Landing Zone and Segenhoe have all shown enough ability to be worth noting should there be market confidence behind them.
