Doonbeg Farmer¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

7/1

Cost €42,000 as a yearling; sent off 100-1 on debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in a maiden 11 days ago; this less taxing on paper but will be vulnerable to the newcomers on the strength of that effort.

Form: 9

Fountain Cross

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

10/3

Muhaarar colt, seventh foal; half-brother to winners Conaglen (7f AW), Alpine Dream (6f-7½f inc 2yo) and Infamous Lawman (German 7f/1m2f); dam smart 5f and 6f (Group 2) 2yo winner. Yard always merit respect and capable of being ready first up.

Already gelded son of New Bay out of a speedy 5f winner; sent off 10-1 on debut at Newbury (6f, good) on Friday evening and respectable third behind two promising fellow debutants. Entitled to build on pleasing start.

Forecasts

Dark Company (11/10), Perotto (5/4), Fountain Cross (10/3), Doonbeg Farmer (7/1), Devil's Cub (10/1)

Perotto ran a decent third at Newbury on Friday evening behind two likely-looking newcomers from the Johnston and Hannon yards and is interesting if taking the chance to build on that but, in all probability, the same two trainers might be holding the aces again with their respective newcomers DARK COMPANY and Fountain Cross. Franny Norton's mount is bred to be speedy and looks to have found an excellent opening at a track where his trainer commands a deal of respect.
