66/1

Colt by Zebedee out of a Strategic Prince mare. Closely related to winner on the AW at Dundalk over 6f That's Not Me. Dam three-time winner over 7f. Unlikely to be a good sign making debut in first-time cheekpieces.

66/1

Colt by Outstrip. Dam nine-race maiden on the Flat. Nearer last than first on disappointing debut in a Curragh 29-runner maiden before finishing last of 16 over 6f at Fairyhouse last month. Hard to make a case for.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

40/1

Colt by Bungle Inthejungle out of a Windsor Knot mare. Never a factor on racecourse debut at Bellewstown before finishing down the field at Dundalk on the AW last month. Vast improvement needed.

14/1

Improved from first run to second when finishing fourth of 10 beaten 4¼L behind Chrysalism on good ground before running a disappointing 15th of 23 at the Curragh last month over 1m. Big drop in trip here and appears opposable again.

20/1

Kyllachy filly out of a Danehill mare. No impression from 1f out on debut in a Curragh 6f maiden, eventually finishing seventh of eight beaten 16L. No surprise to witness improvement here.

The Dermot Weld-trained BRITANNIA KITTEN can be forgiven his last run in June when losing a shoe and build on his promising debut run in a Leopardstown 7f maiden. The youngster runs for the first time as a gelding and can land the opening contest ahead of the Matthew Smith-trained Flaming Moon who shaped with plenty of promise on debut in a Fairyhouse maiden over 6f last month. Of the newcomers, Power Over Me for the Michael O'Callaghan yard could be of interest while the Johnny Murtagh pair of Distant Vista and So Suave should not be underestimated.
