Calidus Mirabilis¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Looks one for the longer term having finished down the field in a couple of Limerick maidens the furthest over 7f on debut. Has looked in need of the experience on both starts and more needed to make an impression here.

Form: 08

Cap D'Antibes

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

12/1

Yard not noted for their juvenile winners (6-137) in the last five seasons; this will be only their second runner in this sphere this year. Cost 72,000 guineas as a yearling; dam of little account, half-sister to smart 2m winner St Michel.

Diamond Power

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: E Lynam

12/1

Newcomer; yard 7-73 with juveniles in last five seasons, this will be their second 2yo runner of the season. Cost €22,000 as a yearling; half-brother to useful 5f (including at 2) winner She Can Boogie; dam juvenile 5f winner.

Royal Dornoch¹⁹

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

7/2

Attracted support on his debut (Curragh, 6f); ran far better than his finishing position would suggest looking to gain plenty from his initial experience (like many from the stable). Sure to progress and will know far more this time around.

Form: 0

Swisstopher²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J Hayes

66/1

Last of 12 on his debut over 5f at Tipperary showing next to nothing; raced off the pace and soon dropped away. Would need to make major strides forward to have any chance here; unlikely to happen.

Form: 0

Total Euphoria¹²

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

25/1

One of two that the yard have in this with both looking amongst the lesser lights from the yard. Showed plenty of inexperience on his debut at Bellewstown (went with little fluency); like his stablemate he needs to progress further.

Form: 6

(2)

Lady Timmy Ho

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

7/2

Yard in terrific form with their juveniles this year (7-14; 4-9 on debut); by Kodiac, cost 50,000 guineas as a foal. Sister to 5f-7f winner Coulsty; half-sister to a couple of other Flat winners. Likely to be ready to go on debut.

Nope²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

1/1

Yard in top form with plenty of 2yo winners already this year (13-48); looked the stable second string on her debut at Naas over 6f. Shaped as if the experience was needed but shaped well from off the pace without getting a clear run; leading chance.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Nope (1/1), Royal Dornoch (7/2), Lady Timmy Ho (7/2), Cap D'Antibes (12/1), Diamond Power (12/1), Total Euphoria (25/1), Calidus Mirabilis (33/1), Swisstopher (66/1)

The run throughout the race that NOPE got on her debut at Naas meant that she immediately entered plenty of notebooks showing her inexperience but also a lot of promise that is bound to come to fruition sooner than later. She should get off the mark at the second time of asking although both the newcomer Lady Timmy Ho and Royal Dornoch who is making his second appearance will have a say in the matter. Ger Lyons is in great form with his juveniles especially first-time out and that gives the former a sound chance while the latter will know far more this time than he did on his debut, the yard’s juveniles having a good second time out record.
