Classify^p1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

14/1

Nayef colt. Full-brother to Snow Sky and Ice Breeze, and a half-brother to another two winners. Could play a part on debut in a race which is seemingly lacking in depth. Market check advised.

Craic Eile²⁴

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

100/1

Two duck eggs beside his name after suffering heavy defeats on both of his career runs. Extremely difficult to recommend with that in mind, and so he is fairly easy to dismiss.

Dark Voyager¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins

8/1

Posted a pair of similarly quiet runs on both starts to date. Qualifies for a handicap mark after one more run in a maiden, so is perhaps best watched until entering that sphere.

Dawn Patrol

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

6/1

By Galileo. Looks the part on paper being closely related to 2011 Derby winner Pour Moi. Also a full brother to three other winners. May be in need of the experience, but a market check is advised.

Delphi

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M C Hussey| T: A P O'Brien

16/1

Galileo colt. Full brother to the smart Credenza. May need this first outing, but still holds place claims in what looks a fairly weak race. Jockey bookings may offer more clues to who the stable first string is.

Memorabilis⁵³

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

11/1

Bred to be decent, and has been given time since finishing midfield on debut at Gowran Park (1m; yielding to soft) in August. Yards runners tend to improve markedly from first run, & he should be an entirely different proposition now. Big player.

Form: 7

Mustang Bullitt²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: A Leahy

100/1

Tailed off on debut at Listowel (1m; soft) last month in the contest that Sunchart finished second in. Impossible to fancy on that evidence, and others make far greater appeal.

Form: 0

Sacramento^t¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

3/1

Ran to a similarly encouraging level than he did on debut when just failing to make the frame at Galway (1m; soft) last month. Place claims once more, but hard to think he'll fare much better than that.

Form: 45

Sky God¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

50/1

Didn't show any notable progress from debut effort last time out when only ninth of 11 at Galway (1m; soft). Looks more of a handicap sort, and is readily opposed once again.

Form: 09

(2)

Sunchart²⁴

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

11/10

Made promising start to life when only finding odds-on Ballydoyle runner too strong at Listowel (1m; soft). Likely to experience similar ground conditions again, and has to be feared.

Form: 2

(10)

Townes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: R O'Brien

66/1

Son of Elusive Pimpernel. Gelded ahead of debut. Stable have been operating at a meagre 4% strike-rate in 2019 (4-113). Unlikely to play a leading role. Look elsewhere for stronger alternatives.

Forecasts

Sunchart (11/10), Sacramento (3/1), Dawn Patrol (6/1), Dark Voyager (8/1), Memorabilis (11/1), Classify (14/1), Delphi (16/1), Red Kelly (16/1), Summer Pearl (33/1), Sky God (50/1), Townes (66/1), Mustang Bullitt (100/1), Craic Eile (100/1)

After producing an effort packed with promise on debut to finish second to an exciting sort, Sunchart arrives with solid credentials as he steps up a furlong in trip from that first run. The Aidan O'Brien trained pair of Dawn Patrol & Delphi are likely to improve for their first racecourse outing, and so the well-bred Classify is preferred to fare the better of the newcomers. However, the selection is MEMORABILIS who also represents Ballydoyle, and has been given time to mature since his debut effort. He should improve significantly from that run where he finished in midfield behind his stablemate Mogul who has since gone on to win a Group 2.
