A Wave Of The Sea18
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse(5)| T: J P O'Brien
7/2
A Born to Sea gelding out of a Montjeu mare; he showed promise by making late grounds on debut at Dundalk at the start of this month and should be a lot wiser this time. No issues expected with the switch to turf; one to seriously consider.

11/10
Related to winners over jumps and is out of a half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Alayan; he created the impression that he already needs a trip on debut at Cork 11 days ago. One to monitor with an eye on the future.

14/1
A half-brother to French middle distance winner Lasspour and out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Lingari; yard very capable of having ready to rock at the first time of asking. Well worth a betting check.

8/1
Cost 60,000 gns as a yearling and has plenty of winners in his bloodlines; could only find the one pace on debut over a mile at Killarney last July and might do better now he's upped in trip. Improvement needed.

5/1
Modest efforts in his first two starts as a juvenile but did show a but more on his seasonal return at Limerick last month; upped in trip here and more now required but going the right way and will be interesting in handicaps after this.

50/1
Didn't show much on debut and improvement needed from this €5,000 son of Morpheus; yard very much respected but a betting move might be unrewarding to follow on this occasion unless the gelding took plenty from his debut run.

7/1
Interesting pedigree and noteworthy her yard is in good form just now. Big improvement needed after her inauspicious debut at Galway last October though.

Forecasts

Alakahan (11/10), A Wave Of The Sea (7/2), Small Town Boy (5/1), Alice Milligan (7/1), Recent Revelations (8/1), Lalipour (14/1), Bear Claws (14/1), Overheer (20/1), Ventnor (50/1)

Verdict

A WAVE OF THE SEA caught the eye in defeat on debut and is likely to be seen to better effect now he's got the benefit of experience to draw from; an attribute which relegates the well bred debutante Lalipour to second suggestion this time. Small Town Boy has more to offer and is worth a betting check, while Alkahan is forwarded as a horse to keep tabs on for future reference if nothing else.
  1. A Wave Of The Sea
