Russian Dream⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 70

25/1

Three-race maiden, well held on each occasion including on course debut over 7f when last seen in September finishing down the field a well beaten ninth of 12. More needed.

Form: 799

Johan The Great¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

6/1

Three-race maiden. Caught the eye when making headway 1f at this venue over 5f earlier this month when never troubling the leaders to finish 3¼L adrift of the winner Sampers Seven. Could well still have more to give.

Form: 676

(5)

Depardieu¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Grassick| OR: 63

20/1

Sent off at big odds in three runs on turf before running accordingly on each occasion before not disgraced on first start here earlier this month. Still plenty to prove.

Form: 0008

(9)

Solar System²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 63

5/1

Has failed to threaten in the closing stages in any of his three outings on turf over 7f/1m. Market likely to reveal expectations on AW debut.

Form: 000

(16)

Strawberry Picker⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 63

20/1

Posted a career best effort over 7f last month when finishing seventh of 14 beaten 4L at odds of 50/1. Likely to improve but still plenty to do in this company.

Form: 4087

(12)

Cape Town Lady¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 62

40/1

Daughter of Kodiac. Yet to get within 11L of the winner on each of her four career starts so far including on AW debut over C&D earlier this month. Others preferred.

Form: 5980

(2)

Sir I'll Chance It^b²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 61

20/1

Three-race maiden. Needs to step up on a couple of starts at this track including when finishing 10th of 14 over C&D last month. Hasn't looked a winner in waiting just yet.

Form: 000

(4)

Adamaris¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: G O'Leary| OR: 58

9/2

Four-race maiden posted a career best effort when finishing 3L adrift of the winner Point Reyes earlier this month finishing sixth of 14 over C&D. Place claims.

Form: 6056

(6)

Enchanted One^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Colin Keane| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 58| BF

9/4

First-time cheekpieces brought about plenty of improvement to finish second of 14 beaten 3½L on polytrack debut before a career best effort over C&D earlier this month. More likely than some to run his race.

Form: 984724

(11)

Susan's Pride⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: O McSweeney⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 57

33/1

Has not showed enough promise on her three racecourse appearances to suggest she will be winning anytime soon and is best watched on polytrack debut.

Form: 750

(10)

Amelia Jane²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 56

25/1

Now without a win in eight career starts including on polytack debut over 6f finishing halfway earlier this month beaten over 7L in the process. Tough ask.

Form: 576078

(8)

Life And Strife^t¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Oliver| OR: 56

25/1

Three-race maiden ran well in defeat over 5f at this track this month finishing 5¾L adrift of the winner. Takes a mighty step up in trip and the market is likely to be the best guide.

Form: 899

(15)

Miss Adventurous^t³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cooper| OR: 56

33/1

Improved on her fourth start to finish 2L adrift of Scholastic at the Curragh before a desperate effort when last of 12 in a Galway 7f contest last month. Others look to hold a stronger hand.

Form: 00040

(3)

Miss Cunning⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 56| C

5/1

Off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking when landing a 6f contest at this venue earlier this month off a 6lb higher mark. Life more difficult from revised rating and stepping up in trip.

Enchanted One (9/4), Adamaris (9/2), Miss Cunning (5/1), Solar System (5/1), Johan The Great (6/1), Bass Reeves (13/2), Shadhavar (8/1), Sir I'll Chance It (20/1), Depardieu (20/1), Strawberry Picker (20/1), Almost A Dream (20/1), Amelia Jane (25/1), Life And Strife (25/1), Russian Dream (25/1), Miss Adventurous (33/1), Susan's Pride (33/1), Cape Town Lady (40/1)

The Johnny Murtagh-trained youngster, ENCHANTED ONE can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking on his third start at the track. The Footstepsinthesand gelding showed plenty of improvement to finish second of 14 beaten 3½L on polytrack debut before a career best effort over C&D earlier this month behind Point Reyes. Winner over 6f earlier in the month Miss Cunning appears to be the biggest danger along with Johan The Great for the Joseph O'Brien yard and Adamaris who wasn't far behind Enchanted One earlier this month.
