Dandy Man gelding out of a Spectrum mare. Well beaten ninth in a pair of AW maidens at Dundalk early this year. Hopefully better on turf but likely this a route to handicaps where his future lies.

Well bred colt showed plenty of potential when fourth in a 7f Leopardstown maiden last October although was a little disappointing as favourite next at Dundalk when sixth of 12. Still has potential and not ruled out back on turf.

9/4
Well bred son of Scat Daddy was fourth in his first four career starts between May 2018 and March 2019 before only sixth here latest when perhaps not lasting 1m2f. Back at a trip he's proven over he surely makes another bold bid.

Improved in second start last August when 11th of 25 at the Curragh but surprise he hasn't raced since. Looks more a handicap prospect so watched here with such contests in mind.

Moojaahim newcomer €12,000 yearling; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to Italian 1m Group 2 Porsenna and 1m Listed winner Basileus. Best watched based on stable record.

Son of Heeraat finished ninth of 16 on debut beaten 15L at Naas last month. Major step forward on that needed so probably best watched again here.

9/2
Helmet colt, cost 92,000 gns as foal and 145,000 gns as yearling. Shown ability in all three starts although latest seventh at Gowran a little disappointing after excellent effort at Navan before that. Certainly can't be ruled out here.
Last of 19, weakening over 3f out in a 1m two-year-old maiden at Naas last November but showed more here last month when ninth of 18. Can come on again but still surprise if he makes the frame.

Last of 11 here on debut and last of nine subsequently at Listowel in two starts at two. Can't be fancied.

5/4
Son of Scat Daddy was a close fifth on debut at Leopardstown and kept on to be a ½L third over 7f here last time out. That form among the best on offer and 1m should suit even better so looks the one they all have to beat.

Daughter of US sire Hard Spun cost €30,000 in February, is a half-sister to a couple of US winners. Ought to find this trip around ideal but best watched barring significant market support.

Tamayuz newcomer; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f/14.5f Group 1 winner Kew Gardens and 6f Group 3 winner Thawaany out of 7f 2yo Group 1 winner who stayed 1m4f. Bred to need further so best watched.

Forecasts

Zarandi (5/4), California Daddy (9/4), Pocotaligo (9/2), Balefire (7/1), Fulvio (12/1), Moody Jim (33/1), Overheer (33/1), Plum Perfect (50/1), Celtic Red (50/1), Adapt To Dan (66/1), Last Judgment (66/1), Rememberthetitans (100/1), Sea Of Life (100/1)

Verdict

After two promising efforts ZARANDI can strike for Dermot Weld and the Aga Khan with 1m here likely to be ideal at this stage based on his running on third over 7f at the course latest. California Daddy has gone close in every race barring when upped to 1m2f latest so rates a very obvious danger. Balefire isn't ruled out just yet even though a shade disappointing on the AW latest.
