Bolly Bullet²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: C W J Farrell

66/1

Colt by Helmet. Dam two-race maiden on the Flat. Closely related to multiple winner on the AW Navajo Star. Should come on for his debut effort at the Curragh in August. Unfancied that day and likely same story here.

Craic Eile⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D Budds

100/1

Son of Palavicini out of a Invincible Spirit mare; never a factor on only racecourse appearance at Galway in early August. Entitled to improve but unlikely to be good enough.

First Thing²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

20/1

Finished closer to last than first on sole racecourse appearance; stable's juveniles hinting at running into a bit of form and perhaps worth a check in the betting.

Grey Serge²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 82

9/2

Has been gradulálly improving with each run without ever looking a likely winner; proven on ground and distance but suspicion is he will find a couple too good again.

Form: 053

Kondratiev Wave

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon

14/1

Middle-distance bred related to many winners; stable certainly not firing out juvenile winners but still worth a check in market.

Manhattan Dandy¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Killian Leonard| T: Mrs D A Love

100/1

Has only beaten one rival home from his two outings to date and hard to see him making an impression here; type who will do better with age.

Mustang Bullitt

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

66/1

Not particularly well bred and comes from a stable yet to send out a juvenile winner this season; hard to see him being good enough but market moves would be interesting.

Royal Red Persian¹²

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

50/1

Slightly improved effort on his second racecourse appearance at Down Royal after spoiling his chances with a tardy start on his debut at the Curragh; one of the more interesting contenders if improving again.

Santiago⁴¹

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

1/2

Promising second of 14 beaten ½L behind Howling Wolf in a Leopardstown 7f maiden in June before filling the same spot under similar conditions at Galway in early August; step up in trip to suit and holds every chance.

Form: 22

(12)

Spiritual Son¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey

16/1

10th of 14 beaten 12L on debut at the Galway festival over 7f before putting up a smarter effort when not beaten far into fourth place when stepped up to a mile at Bellewstown. Worth a closer inspection.

Form: 04

Sunchart

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

8/1

Cost 62,000 euros as a yearling; related to multiple minor winners; stable not renowned for its quality of two-year-olds; hard to make a case for.

Benignitas¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

28/1

Improved on debut effort at the Curragh, not knocked about when beaten to finish a creditable 4th in a Roscommon maiden in early September; entitled to improve but needs to in order to play a leading role.

Form: 04

(5)

Impetuous²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: E J O'Grady

50/1

Daughter of Mayson out of a Mt. Livermore mare. Closely related to six-time winner in Hong Kong, between 7f and 1m. Ran green but showed some promise on debut at Roscommon on debut in August; should progress and step up in trip should suit.

Form: 0

Ms Thompson²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

33/1

Has showed signs of ability on both her racecourse appearances with every being a threat; no reason why she can't improve but will need to do so to be able to land this contest.

SANTIAGO is likley to be popular in the betting ring and there has been plenty to like about his two racecourse appearances to date where he has finished runner-up. This does not look a great contest and connections would probably be surprised if he is not capable of landing this. Benignitas has a couple of runs under her belt now and is capable of improving again while Spiritual Son is another who has stepped up with each appearance and holds definite place claims. Another candidate for minor honours is Grey Serge who seems to be slowly getting the hang of things.
