Artistic Work¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

17/2

Fair form but below-par fifth of 10 in maiden (17/2) at this course (7f, soft) 17 days ago. Needs to find more now.

Form: 655

Bohenie^t³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

25/1

8/1 and tongue strap on, fifth of 6 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) on debut 30 days ago. Plenty more needed here.

Form: 5

Devious Dreamer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: J M Barrett

100/1

Foaled April 28. Buratino colt. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Realtra. Others appeal more on paper so faces no easy introduction.

Grid⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

5/2, shaped encouragingly despite finishing last of 4 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, soft) on debut 76 days ago. Sure to improve now up in trip.

Form: 4

My Boy Charles⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

50/1

Twice-raced gelding, only eighth of 11 in maiden at Naas (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 77 days ago. Significantly up in trip but has lots to find on form.

Form: 98

Sir William Bruce⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

5/2

Promising debut fourth of 6 in maiden (12/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) 58 days ago, not given overly hard time of it. Sure to step up on that initial effort so the one to beat.

Form: 4

(6)

Snap Chap

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Bolger

20/1

Vocalised colt. Brother to 9f winner Natalie Naty and half-brother to useful 7.6f winner Intense Style. Appeals on pedigree and in good hands so much respected newcomer.

Form:

Song Of Peace²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

10/1

Failed to build on debut third when only seventh of 12 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 9/4) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip and should still progress.

Form: 37

Trusted Ally²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 95

3/1

In frame in 7f maidens first two starts before (50/1) 6l fifth of 8 to Mac Swiney in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) 28 days ago. Solid claims back in maiden company.

Form: 345

Whipsaw

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: H De Bromhead

16/1

Camacho colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1½m Aktau. Dam winner up to 1m. Bred to be no back number so debutant is not without interest and worth a market check.

Sir William Bruce (5/2), Trusted Ally (3/1), Grid (9/2), Abstract (15/2), Artistic Work (17/2), Song Of Peace (10/1), Whipsaw (16/1), Snap Chap (20/1), Bohenie (25/1), My Boy Charles (50/1), Devious Dreamer (100/1)

SIR WILLIAM BRUCE showed up well on his debut at Leopardstown when a considerately-handled fourth so Aidan O'Brien's son of Galileo looks the way to go with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline. Trusted Ally can make his presence felt and rates the chief threat, while Grid appeals as the pick of the remainder.
