Blue Sky Thinker²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: R O'Sullivan

100/1

Has struggled on both of his two appearances so far. He was 12th of 14 on his debut here over this C&D, while last time he came home at the rear of 13 runners at Limerick (6½f). Needs to take a huge stride forward.

Form: 00

Elusive King¹⁴

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

7/1

Finished fifth of 15 on his debut over this C&D last month, 6½L away from the winner. He kept on well in the closing stages without ever threatening those at the front of the field. Open to improvement.

Form: 5

Fame And Acclaim¹²

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

4/1

Finished third of 19 at the Curragh (7f) on his debut in a smart start to his career. He then went off as the 10/11 favourite over that same C&D but had to settle for fifth of 14. Remains open to improvement. One to consider.

Form: 35

Ivan The Great

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Halpin| T: M O'Callaghan

20/1

Ivawood colt who foaled on April 12 and cost €80,000 as a yearling. He is a half-brother to multiple-winners, including Songburst who won over 1m and 1m2f winner Zzoro. Likely type of debut.

Moving

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

14/1

Gleneagles colt who was foaled on April 1. His dam was a winner over 7f and is a half-sister to useful 5f winner Burma Tiger. He is closely related to Tirghra who won over 1m. Interesting newcomer who is worth considering.

Phantasus¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: H Rogers

100/1

Has failed to beat a single rival in his two appearances so far, including on his latest start at Navan over 5f in a 13 runner field after going off at 100/1. Stepping up in trip here but needs to a improve a lot to be competitive.

Form: 80

(4)

Pimlico Publican¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: B W Duke

100/1

Has failed to shine in both of his two starts to date. He was 13th of 19 on his debut at the Curragh, while last time he finished 12th of 15 over this C&D. Hard to fancy on what we have seen from him so far.

Form: 00

(24)

Sansevero Chapel¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: T Mullins

12/1

Finished eighth of 15 over this C&D just two weeks ago after going off at 33/1. Made a slow start after stumbling out of the stalls but stayed on well in the closing stages. Best to watch on just his second outing.

Form: 8

(7)

Self Assessed⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger

16/1

His sole appearance so far came at Leopardstown (6f) where he was sixth of 16 runners, 11L off the winner. He kept on well in the final 2f of his first run to suggest there is more to come from him so he has to be respected.

Form: 6

(2)

Soul Seeker²²

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

5/1

Made an encouraging debut at Limerick (7f) last month as he was third of 11 runners, beaten by 3¼L after going off at 5/1. Should come on for that run on his second start from this leading yard. Big player.

Form: 3

(10)

Stage Power^h1⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam

50/1

Has been a long way down the field on his two starts so far. His latest effort came at Leopardstown (7f) after being gelded where he was 12th of 16. Will wear a hood for the first time here. Difficult to fancy.

Form: 00

(15)

Whoareyouanyway¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

15/2

Came home fifth of 13 at Navan (5f) last month in what was a modest opening start to this career. He kept on well in the closing stages of that run. Stepping up in trip here on his second outing. One to think about.

Form: 5

(25)

Shiny One¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter

20/1

Has been well held on both of his two appearances on the track. He was eighth of 14 over this trip last time at the Curragh (7f) after going off at 50/1. Will need to produce more here to be in the mix at the finish.

Form: 88

(3)

Zephron¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Gallagher| T: D Cullen

25/1

Made his debut over this C&D just two weeks ago where he came home sixth of 15 runners. He made a slow start to that race but he got better as the contest progressed. Could be capable of more on his second run.

Form: 6

(6)

Crack On Rosie¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Leonard| T: P Martin

66/1

Failed to impress in either of her two opening starts. Her latest effort come over this C&D where she was ninth of 19 after going off at 66/1. Needs to take a big step forward here on her latest attempt.

Form: 09

(21)

Demimonde⁸⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

40/1

She could only finish 10th of 14 at Leopardstown (7f) on her first outing of her career back in August. She is dropping down in trip on her second start where she will need to do much better to be in contention in the closing stages.

Form: 0

(23)

Madaket Mystery³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: J Davison

12/1

Has performed well on both of her two starts without success. She was third of 15 at Listowel (7f), while on her latest attempt, she also hit the frame when she was third of 14 at Cork (6f). One to consider here.

Form: 33

Max's Dandy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: N Slevin

33/1

Dandy Man filly who was foaled on March 10 and cost €13,500 as a yearling. She is a half-sister to Sky Seven who won over 1m. Her dam was lightly-raced but a sister to 1m1f winner Whatsthescript. Best to watch.

Form:

Relaxing Mode⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J S Bolger

33/1

Was a long way off the winner on her opening start when she was sixth of 10 at Galway over the extended 1m trip last week. She raced too keenly on that occasions so will have to settle better this time over this shorter trip.

Form: 6

(16)

Rocket Science

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

9/2

Fastnet Rock filly who was foaled on February 9. Her dam was a winner as two-year-old over 5f and is a half-sister Marsh Hawk who prevailed over 7f as a two-year-old. Market likely to speak volumes about her chances here.

Form:

(19)

Sun And Scent^t¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W T Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: Barry J Fitzgerald| OR: 63

33/1

Has appeared four times now. She was not far away when she was fifth of 11 at Listowell (6½f) on the second start of her career. She has been a long way down the field on her latest two efforts. Needs to improve.

Form: 6508

Swift Sonnet

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin

33/1

Poet's Voice filly who was foaled on January 25. Her dam won over 7f as a two-year-old and is a half-sister to 7f winner Mukalal. Best to watch on the opening start of her career as she may just need this run.

SOUL SEEKER showed plenty of promise on his debut when he finished in the frame at Limerick after coming home third. He should build upon that opening appearance to prevail at the second time of asking over this slightly shorter trip. Fame And Acclaim has just weakened in the closing stages of his two races which suggests he will be better for this latest distance so expect a big run, while Moving is a newcomer which stands out from a leading yard and may well make the frame on his first start.
