Flirting Lesa^h⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: L F Roche| T: P J Hayes

66/1

Landed 2m4f hunter chase at Punchestown in May and ran fair race when third in similar event at Listowel last time over 3m. Hard to know what to expect making Flat debut so woprth a market check.

Private Jackson⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Jane M Foley

100/1

Red Jazz filly who shown little to speak of in two outings so far, beating one home on debut at Gowran Park in April then 12th of 15 on return visit there last month over a miel. Steps up in trip but looks up against it.

Form: 00

Stops A Nation³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins

11/1

Landed bumper on debut at Tramore in April, then outclassed in Grade 3 at Punchestown in May. Disappointed in Roscommon bumper last month but interesting that her top yard switch her to the Flat so worthy of some consideration.

Adamantly²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard| T: R O'Brien| OR: 52

100/1

Bought for £2500 at January Sales having shown only poor form in three starts last year at up to a mile for Mick Channon. Debut for new handler but is very hard to fancy on what she's achieved so far.

Form: 000-

Chesapeake Shores^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| BF

5/1

First-time cheekpieces applied on this nicely bred daughter of Camelot who shaped with promise when fifth over 1m2f in Curragh maiden in May, then kept on over similar trip to today when third at Limerick last time. Solid claims in this company.

Form: 53

Eria

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

12/1

Zoffany filly out of a Galileo mare. Dam won over a mile as a juvenile. Represents top yard and wouldn't have to be a superstar to go well in this company so worthy of consideration.

Floating Around

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Slattery

40/1

Born To Sea filly makes her racecourse debut. Is half-sister to 1m4f winner. Most likely to benefit from this first racecourse appearance and not well drawn but yard in decent form.

Form:

(3)

For Your Eyes¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 71

7/2

Iffraaj filly who shaped with promise when third on debut over a mile at Cork. Disappointed after in good maiden at Gowran. Modest first effort this term followed by better run when third over 1m2f last time. Extra furlong a plus so should go well.

Form: 39-93

(5)

Irradiate

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

6/1

Beautifully bred filly by Australia out of a half-sister to Beat Hollow. Looks the part on paper and market should guide as toe expectations on her racecourse bow in a run-of-the-mill event. Stable companion of Eria.

Form:

L'Empathie

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

25/1

Yard has 11% strike rate at this track and horses have been a little quiet of late. By Champs Elysees out of mare who won at 1m2f. Fair pedigree but more than likely to benefit from this debut outing.

Form:

Lighthouse Lady²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: E Kent| OR: 70

12/1

Placed twice from six starts and capable of winning a little race. One paced last time at around this trip at Limerick, and while she cannot be ruled out is likely to find one or two too good for her.

Form: 0-35355

Muirisc^p1⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy

100/1

Beaten a total of three horses home in four races so far at up to a mile and looks of little account. Slim hopes rest on 3f step up in trip and addition of cheekpieces helping her cause.

Form: 0007

Peruvian Lily²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 79

7/2

Fair juvenile form placing at both Gowran Park and the Curragh at up to 7f. Kept on into third over 9f last time and extra quarter mile may help. Has highest BHA rating so has to come into the reckoning.

Form: 392-63

(12)

The Tooth Fairy¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 70

7/1

Superbly bred Galileo filly; is full-sister to high-class Found. Top yard surely desperate to break her maiden tag and have tried her at distances varying from 1m-1m6f. Has some claims but needs to raise her game to score.

Form: 06-404

Forecasts

Peruvian Lily (7/2), For Your Eyes (7/2), Chesapeake Shores (5/1), Irradiate (6/1), The Tooth Fairy (7/1), Stops A Nation (11/1), Lighthouse Lady (12/1), Eria (12/1), L'Empathie (25/1), Katie's Reign (25/1), Stella D'Italia (33/1), Floating Around (40/1), Septimo Cielo (50/1), Flirting Lesa (66/1), Coasting Along (66/1), Private Jackson (100/1), Muirisc (100/1), Adamantly (100/1)

More quantity than quality here so if either of Joseph O'Brien's newcomers Eria or Irradiate have ability anything close to their pedigrees then they may go close. PERUVIAN LILY is suggested as she steps up in trip having hinted that a race of this nature is within her compass. For Your Eyes is a danger after a better effort last time, and the cheekpieces could be enough to help Chesapeake Shores go very close. The beautiflly bred The Tooth Fairy will be worth a fortune at the paddocks if she wins and is not out of it, but needs to raise her game.
