Dixon Line

14/1

Cost £24,000 as a yearling; ninth foal; related to plenty of winners most notably being a brother to 7f winner Zalshah; stable not firing at present so hard to recommend with confidence.

33/1

Bought for 25,000 euros as a yearling; related to a few minor winners; slowly away and always behind on debut at Fairyhouse last week; will be better for that outing but probably not good enough yet.

5/1

By Atwaad out of a Sir Percy mare; half-brother to useful sprinter London Tesoro; stable going well at present and looks one of the ones to beat.

11/4

Cost 36,000 euros as a yearling; half-sister to some minor winners; not the most obvious on breeding but hails from stable currently in among the winners; market check advised.

Dark Street

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: L Comer

100/1

Fetched 10,000 euros as a yearling; related some some minor winners but overall pedigree suggests he will do better over further and in time.

3/1

Bought for 5,000 euros as a yearling; half-brother to 1m-1m2f AW winner Paene Magnus; showed good early speed on his debut at the Curragh last week; should be better here and one to consider.

28/1

Cost 16,500 euros as a yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to Listed two-year-old winner Crisaff's Queen; plenty of stamina in pedigree as well so looks an interesting candidate on debut.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh

28/1

Filly by Fast Company out of a Verglas mare. Cost €18,000 as a yearling; lost all chance at the start on debut at Navan earlier this month; started 125/1 that day; unlikely winner.

Speedy Pix

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: T G McCourt

14/1

Cheaply retained as a two-year-old; sixth foal; related to some minor winners; should be suited by this trip and stable going well; market may be best guide.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

9/1

Cheaply bought as a foal but then fetched 10,500 euros as a yearling; related to a number of winners but pedigree errs on the side of stamina; not totally discounted.

Shannon Valley¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: James J Doyle| T: D Hogan

125/1

Kodiac filly out of a Shamardal mare. Dam unraced. Cost €9,000 at the September yearling sales in 2019; beat just one home on Naas debut run earlier this month; can improve but unlikely winner.

Catherine Chroi¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: L F Roche| T: G Elliott

33/1

Filly by Camacho out of an Oasis Dream mare. Dam, five-race maiden, failed to hit the frame in all career starts; eventful introduction at Navan earlier this month; should come on for that run and one to consider.

Alice Kitty (11/4), Lunar Space (3/1), Ebeko (5/1), Helvic Princess (9/1), Lisabetta (12/1), Dixon Line (14/1), Speedy Pix (14/1), Abogados (25/1), No Stopping Her (28/1), Revolutme (28/1), Catherine Chroi (33/1), Samba King (33/1), Creative Mojo (50/1), Dark Street (100/1), Shannon Valley (125/1)

No contestants with stand out chances but some interesting contenders nevertheless. The slight preference is for newcomer NO STOPPING HER who is a half-sister to Listed two-year-old winner Crisaff's Queen and has enough stamina in her pedigree to suggest this trip will be suitable on debut. Of those with experience, Lunar Space showed a good attitude on her debut at the Curragh recently. She showed good early pace and only faded close home. This trip should suit her well. Another debutante who could go well for her in-form stable is Ebeko. She is related to some useful types and if forward enough here should be in the firing line.
