Whoareyouanyway^t1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 10-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 76

11/10

By Lethal Force out of a 6f winner. Improved to finish third of 13 over C&D earlier this month behind Prince Of Naples and is entitled to have designs on prize money once again.

Form: 503

Mighty Mirage¹²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 72

25/1

Six-race maiden. Well held on turf on a couple of previous efforts over a similar trip at Roscommon and Galway in the summer. Best watched on polytrack debut unless market vibes have other ideas.

Form: 677644

Laurel Grove^b1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR: 70

16/1

Well related son of Zoffany is without a win in seven career starts so far. Finished in mid-division on polytrack debut earlier this month over C&D behind Estepona Sun. First time blinkers doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress.

Form: 254687

Chica Boom Boom¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 68

10/1

Six-race maiden. Beaten on three occasions over C&D and certainly better than her last start earlier this month suggests when finishing 11th of 14 behind Estepona Sun. Plenty to prove.

Form: 000360

Enchanted One^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 63| C

7/2

Cheekpieces appear to be the key to a number of improved performances culminating in a win over 1m at this venue last month off a 5lb lower mark. Rates a leading contender dropping in trip.

Lady Zell^t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 62

10/1

Four-race maiden. Fourth of 12 beaten 2¼L behind Miss Cunning here over 6f last month. Likely to improve and one for the shortlist.

Form: 0684

Eloquent Poet¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 57

33/1

Struggling daughter of Poet's Voice sent off a big prices in a number of starts since her debut at Down Royal in August before running accordingly on each occasion. Probably best watched on this occasion.

Form: 7007

(13)

Mia Figilia²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Powell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J M Oxx| OR: 57

12/1

Dark Angel filly. Career best effort to finishing within 2½L of Point Reyes on first visit here over 1m last month. Bit more needed but enters calculations.

Form: 07005

(14)

Pink Jazz⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Nathan Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 57

33/1

Without success in four career starts so far offering little in the way of signs of ability of each occasion. Needs others to run below-par to have a say in proceedings here.

Form: 0770

(10)

Absolute One Right¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 55

25/1

Gelding by Requinto. Posted a career best effort to finish eight of 15 beaten 5¼L behind Estepona Sun over C&D earlier this month. Drops 5lb but still looks a tall order ahead.

Form: 0088

(16)

Almost A Dream³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: T E Whelan| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 54

50/1

Filly by Morpheus out of a Mr Greely mare. Ran well here in the spring but finished last of 14 beaten 13L on return to the track last month. Steps up in trip.

Form: 440090

Life And Strife^b1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: James J Doyle| T: A Oliver| OR: 54

16/1

Nothing of note in four wretched career starts so far well held and never a factor on each occasion. First blinkers unlikely to work the oracle.

Form: 8997

(8)

Rolling Wave^b1³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: A Leahy| OR: 54

50/1

Seven-race maiden well beaten on first visit to this venue over 6f finishing 12th of 14 last month. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 670R30

(11)

Crack On Rosie²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Killian Leonard| T: P Martin| OR: 52

16/1

Filly by Sir Prancealot. Vast improvement to finish 3L adrift of Miss Cunning on first visit here last month over 6f to finish sixth of 12. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Whoareyouanyway (11/10), Enchanted One (7/2), Chica Boom Boom (10/1), Lady Zell (10/1), Mia Figilia (12/1), Laurel Grove (16/1), Life And Strife (16/1), Crack On Rosie (16/1), Absolute One Right (25/1), Mighty Mirage (25/1), Shadhavar (25/1), Miss Dancealot (25/1), Eloquent Poet (33/1), Pink Jazz (33/1), Almost A Dream (50/1), Rolling Wave (50/1)

The run of WHOAREYOUANYWAY when third of 13 behind Prince Of Naples over C&D earlier this month is the stand-out form in this contest. The Ger Lyons-trained son of Lethal Force can improve at the expense of the rapidly improving Enchanted One for trainer Johnny Murtagh, who was last seen winning over 1m at this track last month off a 5lb lower mark. Potential improvers Lady Zell and the John Oxx-trained Mia Figilia should not be taken lightly while Crack On Rosie could go well at a price.
