Well held in three career starts so far and first-time hood (retained) failed to improve her last time at Dundalk though let down by tardy start; chance if breaking better.

12/1

Red Jazz colt who cost €2,300 as a yearling. May foal who is from a yard that has a modest strike-rate with two-year-olds; only beaten a couple home in three outings to date and looks an unlikely winner.

REVOLTME finished behind future Listed winner Miss Amulet last time at Cork and while well beaten in that contest should prove better than her rivals returning from a short break. Keep an eye on the previous race where the filly who split the pair in that Cork contest runs in a maiden. Zoffany's Delight has been a mixed bag to date and perhaps the fitting of first-time cheekpieces will see her to better effect. King Wasp needs to break better than last time at Dundalk but if doing so can run well.
