Lynn Lodge Stud Irish EBF Maiden (Plus 10)

(1)

Air Force Jet²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

4/11

Son of Charm Spirit narrowly touched off by a short-head on debut at Naas (5f) last month which looks the strongest form on offer here. Very obvious claims and the one to beat.

Form: 2

(4)

Buachaill Or¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

66/1

Baltic King gelding last of 15 on debut over C&D last month and with that in mind can only now be watched.

Form: 0

(3)

Discoland⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin

40/1

Swiss Spirit colt was last of 14 on debut at Naas where he likely did too much too soon upfront. Can do a little better if more patiently ridden but doubt he makes the frame.

Form: 0

Megans Beau¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness

25/1

Marginal improvement on debut last at Naas when eighth of 11 at Leopardstown six days later. Still needs a giant step forward here.

Form: 08

(6)

Southern Hills⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: E J McNamara| T: A P O'Brien

2/1

Colt by Gleneagles proved disappointing on debut when last of five at the Curragh although the fact he was pitched straight into a Listed race made that a little less surprising. Could do much better here in this easier contest.

Form: 5

(2)

Spit It Out

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: R K Watson

66/1

Lone newcomer in the race is a son of Swiss Spirit who was retained by his vendor for just €800 as a yearling. Would be surprising if he makes the frame.

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Air Force Jet (4/11), Southern Hills (2/1), Alligator Alley (6/1), Megans Beau (25/1), Discoland (40/1), Buachaill Or (66/1), Spit It Out (66/1)

Joseph O'Brien seemingly holds all of the aces here and the vote goes to AIR FORCE JET who couldn't have gone much closer on debut. Alligator Alley bumped into a smart one first time and can give O'Brien the 1-2. Southern Hills for O'Brien senior should do much better than in the Listed race he started out in and could be the one open to most improvement.
