Snapraeterea³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| BF

5/4

Promising individual. Second of 5 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 11/8) last time, needing stiffer test. Remains open to improvement, but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit.

Form: 12

(8)

Pageboy^b1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley| T: J M Oxx

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, soft, 50/1) on debut 11 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time and this demands a sizeable step forward.

Form: 7

Elysium³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 86

6/5

Winner at Navan in June. Third of 8 in minor event (3/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 33 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 013

100/1, eleventh of 15 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 57 days ago.

Lunar Space^p⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 72

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, very good third of 7 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Place possibilities.

Form: 5903

Cornish Rock^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

16/1

Foaled February 16. €12,000 foal, €11,000 yearling. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, closely related to useful 7f-1¼m winner Darina. Wears hood on debut, which sounds a note of caution.

Forecasts

Elysium (6/5), Snapraeterea (5/4), Amber Kite (9/4), Lunar Space (8/1), Malaysian (10/1), Cornish Rock (16/1), Pageboy (33/1), The Casino King (33/1), Dark Street (50/1)

AMBER KITE made it third time lucky when leading from pillar to post at Gowran and, with the promise of even better to come, she is taken to follow up here. Elysium was third behind a couple of potentially useful types at Leopardstown and is next on the list, given that Snapraeterea is unlikely to appreciate this drop in trip.
