Sebs Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ross Coakley| T: J M Oxx

20/1

Newcomer by Kyllachy out of a 90-rated sprinter best on the AW where she won four times. Yard's two-year-old winners few and far between these days so best watched.

Potala Palace^p1,t1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 82| BF

5/1

82-rated five-race maiden has been a disappointment in his last two starts after twice finishing second before that. Drops to 6f for the first time which may help and also has new headgear so not ruled out.

Form: 62275

Shadhavar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Halpin| T: J Davison

28/1

Anjaal newcomer a half-brother to five winners who all excelled over trips short of 1m. Ought to find this distance then quite suitable but already gelded so watching brief best course of action.

Call Of The Jungle^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery

25/1

Son of Bungle Inthejungle cost €35,000 as a yearling half-brother to four winners over a variety of trips. Hood on debut is rarely a positive sign.

Ballinroe

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

100/1

Son of unfashionable sire Fountain Of Youth cost just 3,000gns as a foal despite being half-brother to two winners up to 7f. Best watched given small stable and already gelded.

Form:

(16)

Layfayette¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

7/2

Never a factor when 11th of 18 on debut at the Curragh but did make some progress late on so perhaps can fare better here and with so many debut makers it would be a surprise if he wasn't in the first five or six.

Form: 0

Luke Short²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C P Hoban| T: N Meade

20/1

Midfield in both starts so far at Naas and the Curragh over 5f and 7f respectively. This trip may prove ideal at present but has plenty to find and stablemate Layfayette looks stronger.

Form: 70

Seven Worlds²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary

14/1

Still holds a Middle Park Stakes but while that more than fanciful based on his debut there was promise about that 10th of 21 Curragh effort in a race likely deeper than this. Could be in the hunt for a place granted expected improvement.

Form: 0

Sondheim¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: W T Farrell

33/1

Not seen enough in two starts at Leopardstown (fifth of seven) or the Curragh (12th of 16) to recommend him although in fairness probably went off too fast in front the last day.

Form: 50

(1)

Believe In Beauty³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: K J Condon| OR: 77

3/1

Thrice-raced filly was fourth on debut but has since bettered that with seconds at Gowran (7f) and Sligo (5½f). Undoubtedly amongst the best form on offer here and is sure to make another bold bid.

Form: 422

(2)

Eloquent Poet⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness

50/1

Beaten 13L on debut but in fairness a stumble in the straight and the fact she was carried very wide on the turn in means to some extent she can be forgiven. Not impossible we see a big step up.

Form: 7

(14)

Lustown Baba¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery

33/1

Ran better than bare form suggests when seventh and beaten just over 7L on debut at Bellewstown last month. Step back in trip ought to suit although would have preferred her over 7f than sharp 6f.

Form: 7

(17)

Mutiny⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

Found just easy winner Lady Penelope too good when second on debut at Down Royal over 5f last week. That a very promising start and with longer trip and that experience now a benefit she has leading claims here.

Form: 2

(10)

Dame Rapide¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness

100/1

Midfield efforts at Roscommon and Bellewstown so far so this filly has a good bit to find and is probably the sort best suited by low-grade handicaps after today.

Form: 59

(4)

Kitten On The Keys^h²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

10/1

Wore the hood she wears here when making a promising start at Cork in finishing sixth of 21 beaten 7L over 6f last month despite a slow start. That a nice building block for the future and has each-way claims here.

Form: 6

(15)

Moonhall Milly

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Killian Leonard| T: P J F Murphy

50/1

Unraced filly by Bungle Inthejungle out of an unraced dam cost €2500 as a yearling. Best watched on debut.

Portara²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: M A Gallagher| T: P McCreery| OR: 56

66/1

Seventh of 29 latest in her third start at the Curragh the best so far but still short of what will be required here so may have been better served by going the nursery route.

Form: 097

(7)

Stellify¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: James J Doyle| T: A McGuinness

100/1

Filly by Canford Cliffs finished 12th of 15 on debut at Bellewstown. Can and probably will improve but remains best watched.

Forecasts

Believe In Beauty (3/1), Layfayette (7/2), Mutiny (4/1), Potala Palace (5/1), Kitten On The Keys (10/1), Seven Worlds (14/1), Luke Short (20/1), Sebs Star (20/1), Call Of The Jungle (25/1), Shadhavar (28/1), Lustown Baba (33/1), Sondheim (33/1), Moonhall Milly (50/1), Eloquent Poet (50/1), Portara (66/1), Dame Rapide (100/1), Stellify (100/1), Ballinroe (100/1)

Jessica Harrington is having an incredible season with her two-year-olds and MUTINY looked a sure-fire future winner on debut when a good second to a well-fancied winner. She can deny Believe In Beauty who has been second in her last two starts with Potala Palace and Kitten On The Keys the others worthy of consideration.
