Arnhem

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: N Lupini

50/1

Gelding by Dandy Man out of a Gian's Causeway mare. Half-brother to three winners including Andok, winner up to 1m2f and two-year-old winner over 7f Lady Mandeville. Entitled to need this run on debut.

Blametheshady

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G Keane

7/1

Kodiac gelding out of a Moss Vale mare. Cost €150,000 as a foal. Dam won over 6f as a two-year-old. Interesting debutante with market likely to reveal expectations.

Candy Man^t1¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Gallagher| T: E P Harty| OR: 57

16/1

Five-race maiden. Not the most reliable of sorts sending out a number of mixed messages since returning for his seasonal debut in May.

Form: 00-470

(4)

Cold War²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

25/1

$50,000 yearling cost 55,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Well held and never a factor in a couple of career starts so far since his debut 12 months ago. Last seen in April, gelded since.

Form: 6-0

Misty At Sea⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane

33/1

Born To Sea gelding out of a Ad Valorem mare. Held up in touch on sole start to date before weakening under pressure to finish down the field beaten 32L at Fairyhouse in September. More needed.

Be Yourself²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Foley| T: O McKiernan

100/1

Poor maiden hurdler well beaten in five starts over timber. Closely related to six-time winner on the Flat Choral Clan all victories coming between 7f and 1m4f on an AW surface.

Droichead Atha^t¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Kinsella

100/1

Nothing in eight starts to date starting at no less than 66/1 on her last seven starts, running accordingly on each occasion. Last of 12 beaten 57L when last seen in May.

Form: 70000-0

Just Lucy²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: W Durkan

66/1

Daughter of Big Bad Bob out of a Galileo mare. Dam placed over 7f-1m2½f. Dismal effort on sole start in a Gowran Park maiden over 1m1f when last seen in April. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 0

(9)

Abanica⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 65

7/1

Improving in a couple of starts for current connections when last seen in September. Career best effort finishing third 17 beaten 5½L at the Curragh over 6f and can make her presence felt in this company.

Form: 7-38643

(12)

Coill Na Sionainne^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Fitzgerald

66/1

Daughter of So You Think out of a Johar mare. Dam last of 11 on her sole career start in a Clonmel bumper. Unlikely to be a good sign the filly wears a hood on debut.

Form:

(8)

Eye Of The Dragon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

40/1

Daughter of Dragon Pulse out of a Jurado mare. Dam without a winner from six progeny over fences and on the Flat. Possibly best watched on debut unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

Form:

Gabrielle Noir¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey

25/1

Dark Angel filly whose grand-dam was European champion juvenile filly. Appears to be an improving sort based on her fine effort at Navan last month. Not one to underestimate with experience on her side.

Form: 75

(7)

Magic Fountain¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 71

5/2

Third of 14 beaten ¾L on sole start at this venue over 7f last month. Six-race maiden likely to be in the mix at the business end of proceedings.

Form: 057332

(6)

Sheranda⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 75

11/10

Running well in defeat in three career starts since making her debut at Cork in September, a race that has produced three winners since including Romantic Proposal and Lovee Dovee. Has a rating of 75 and likely to go well.

Form: 523

Forecasts

Sheranda (11/10), Magic Fountain (5/2), Blametheshady (7/1), Abanica (7/1), Candy Man (16/1), Gabrielle Noir (25/1), Cold War (25/1), Misty At Sea (33/1), Eye Of The Dragon (40/1), Arnhem (50/1), Coill Na Sionainne (66/1), Just Lucy (66/1), Droichead Atha (100/1), Be Yourself (100/1)

The Dermot Weld-trained, Aga Khan-owned, SHERANDA could take some stopping on AW debut with a number of solid efforts already in the bag. The daughter of Siyouni started off in a Cork maiden over a similar trip finishing a respectable fifth of 17 beaten 4L in a race that has produced three winners since including Romantic Proposal and Lovee Dovee. Magic Fountain for the Aidan O'Brien yard can emerge as the clear biggest danger following a number of efforts since September when running with credit in defeat. The Henry De Bromhead pair, Cold War and Abanica can compete for remaining prize money.
