33/1

€125,000 foal, Dawn Approach colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1m Aclaim. Interesting newcomer and well worth a market check.

Double Jemmy²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Vanessa Maye⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Geoghegan

100/1

Thousand Words gelding who cost €4,000 as a foal. His dam ran just once in her career in a bumper but she is a half-sister to Markovitch who won over 1m2f. Needs to improve on debut run at Gowran Park last month.

Form: 7

Swiss Army Officer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: Kevin Coleman

100/1

Swiss Spirit gelding. Half-brother to three winners, including 1m3½f winner Roman Riches and 1m4f winner Dyna Might. Nothing of note in a couple of dour efforts so far over very differing trips.

Form: 00

Ambitious Approach⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 79

6/1

Running with great credit in a number of starts since the Dawn Approach colts debut in March. Very much a leading player here for prominent trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 744

Case In Point⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

50/1

€80,000 yearling newcomer by Showcasing. Half-brother to three winners. Well beaten and never nearer in the geldings first couple of career starts in June. More needed.

Form: 08

Dance Jupiter⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: J E Kiely

10/1

Newcomer who cost £30,000 as a vendor as a two-year-old. Son of Kingsbarns. Promising effort on debut at Killarney in August leaving plenty to work on.

Form: 5

Darkened^p1,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 73

9/1

Four-race maiden posted a career best effort in a Navan 1m maiden on good to firm last month when finishing fourth of 13 beaten 3¼L. Worthy of consideration in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 3254

Future Gold³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

50/1

Havana Gold gelding out of a Royal Applause mare. Dwelt at the start on debut run here over 1m2f last month eventually finishing eighth of 14 beaten 10L. Handicaps likely to suit better in future.

Form: 8

(3)

Old Colonial²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Ian O'Connor

100/1

Charm Spirit colt out of a Danehill Dancer mare. Half-brother to three winners, including 1m½f winner Perfect Illusion and two-year-old victor Banana Split. Improvement required from below-par debut at Listowel last month.

Form: 0

Patrick Sarsfield³⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

1/2

Promising efforts in two starts for trainer Edward Lynam as a juvenile. Did not make it to the course for Michael O'Callaghan and returns here for new connections for the first time in 12 months.

Form: 32-

(12)

Prisoner's Dilemma⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: J F Levins| OR: 74

10/1

Has finished in the frame on all three career starts to date. Positives outweigh the negatives in this contest and the Toronado gelding should be capable of hitting the frame once again.

Form: 323

(14)

Stringr³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Emma Louise Doyle⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T Doyle

100/1

Zebedee gelding finished last of 23 on debut in a Curragh 6f maiden on yielding ground when last seen in August. Good chance handicaps will suit in future.

Form: 0

(4)

War Signal

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Killian Leonard| T: Miss J M Lee

100/1

Gelding by War Command out of a French bred mare. Closely related to recent Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes winner over 7f Wichita. Dam winner of two of her 12 starts on turf.

Form:

Choralised^p1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary

100/1

Below-par filly, well beaten and no impression in five dour career starts so far. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: 000-00

(17)

Taliyna³⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

25/1

Daughter of Dawn Approach out of a Dalakhani mare. No impression on leaders when ridden over 2f out on disappointing debut at Gowran Park over a similar trip when last seen 12 months ago.

Form: 8-

Mufarrej²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

33/1

First Reserve: Dubawi colt out of a 7f winning Dam. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Jassaar. Poor form in a couple of starts to date and will need to raise overall profile if getting into the race.

Form: 08

Weather Alert³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: T Mullins

66/1

Second Reserve: Gale Force Ten gelding out of a Machiavellian mare. Half-brother to Shwaiman winner over 1m6¾f. Well held on debut and unlikely to get competitive if making the line-up.

Patrick Sarsfield (1/2), Hazran (4/1), Ambitious Approach (6/1), Vocatus (8/1), Insaan (8/1), Darkened (9/1), Dance Jupiter (10/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (10/1), Taliyna (25/1), Mufarrej (33/1), Accept (33/1), Case In Point (50/1), Future Gold (50/1), Weather Alert (66/1), Swiss Army Officer (100/1), Old Colonial (100/1), Double Jemmy (100/1), Stringr (100/1), Choralised (100/1), War Signal (100/1)

The Mick Halford-trained HAZRAN has been solid and consistent but out of luck when finding one better in four starts this term. The Lope De Vega colt can get off the mark at the sixth attempt getting the better of Patrick Sarsfield on debut for the Joseph O'Brien yard who will have to overcome a 395 day lay-off here. Prisoner's Dilema, third of 13 beaten 4L at Killarney in July and three-race maiden Ambitious Approach can battle for the minor honours. Dance Jupiter who ran well on debut at Killarney in August is not to be taken lightly.
