Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: B Cawley

125/1

Finished sixth on both starts to date including over this trip on debut at Roscommon (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicaps.

Form: 66

Angel's Trumpet²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Leigh Roche| T: W McCreery

33/1

Well beaten eighth in a soft-to-heavy ground maiden over this trip at Gowran Park when making his debut earlier this month. Others hold more obvious claims.

50/1

Well beaten in both starts so far most recently when 12L eighth over 1m at Cork (yielding) at the start of this month. Probably best watched at present.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: P Downey

80/1

Unraced Alhebayeb gelding out of a mare who retired a maiden after five starts. Others hold more obvious claims on first racecourse appearance.

Finished down the field when contesting a 6f maiden at Naas (good-to-yielding) on debut just over a month ago. Visor tried for the first time stepping up in distance.

Mostaqqer³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

3/1

Stepped up markedly on sole effort at two when finishing runner-up on yielding ground over this trip at Roscommon last month. Represents a yard who do well at this meeting and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

66/1

Never involved when finishing 11th of 14 in a 1m2f maiden at Roscommon (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Dropping markedly in trip on this occasion.

Teed Up²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon

7/4

Showed plenty of ability when finishing runner-up in a soft-to-heavy ground maiden over this trip at Gowran Park when making his debut earlier this month. Bold show expected once more.

18/1

Held on all three starts to date most recently when 11L seventh over 7f at Gowran Park (soft-to-heavy) just under three weeks ago. Others make more appeal.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 76

9/2

Placed twice from seven starts most recently when third over 1m at Cork (yielding) at the start of this month. Finished fifth over the same trip at Limerick (good) since and is of interest for a top yard.

Form: 627-435

Cuban Dreams²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Slattery⁽³⁾| T: J G Murphy

100/1

Failed to figure in two starts so far and slowly away on each occasion. Both previous efforts came over this trip and she looks up against it in this event.

Form: 00

Rocket Science³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

3/1

Showed ability on both previous starts most recently when 7L fourth on seasonal debut at Roscommon (7f, yielding) last month. Interesting to see how she fares.

Forecasts

Teed Up (7/4), Rocket Science (3/1), Mostaqqer (3/1), Balmari (4/1), War Leader (9/2), Tuned For Power (18/1), Inventor (28/1), Angel's Trumpet (33/1), Ballyvil (50/1), Royal Scholar (66/1), Catalinawinemixer (80/1), Cuban Dreams (100/1), Howdoyathinkifeel (125/1)

WAR LEADER has plenty of experience and he can register a victory in what looks a competitive maiden event. The selection hails from a top stable and he can get the better of Mostaqqer who showed a marked improvement in form when placed last time out. Third place can go to Balmari, another with plenty of experience who can improve on his turf debut fifth last time out.
