33/1

Twice-raced colt. 28/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Bellewstown (11.8f, heavy) 28 days ago, keeping on without being unduly punished. It may be handicaps he does better still.

Form: 06

Dammit

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: L Comer

100/1

Bashkirov colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Too Many Questions. Dam, US 1m winner, out of half-sister to Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Flamenco Wave. Market should guide on debut.

Druid's Altar²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 81| BF

5/2

Lightly-raced gelding. 6/4, good second of 10 in maiden at Bellewstown (11.8f, heavy) 28 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Yard having good spell. One for the shortlist.

Form: 3562

Wrinkle In Time⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: H De Bromhead

11/1

Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 15 in maiden (33/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) on debut 61 days ago, never nearer. Sure to do better with that under his belt.

Form: 6

Yankee Stadium¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

15/8

Promising type. 6/1, sixth of 16 in maiden at Navan (10f) 14 days ago, no room from 2f out and finishing with plenty of running left. One to be interested in on the back of that with more to come.

Form: 3-6

(4)

Acuity

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

12/1

Archipenko filly. Half-sister to 7f-9f winner Clear Cut. Dam, 1m winner (fourth in Irish 1000 Guineas). Yard can ready a newcomer so well worth a check in the betting.

Form:

(6)

La Joya²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins| OR: 74

6/1

Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 14 in maiden at Punchestown (9f, soft, 20/1) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip but another who may do better once sent handicapping.

Form: 587

9/2

Lightly-raced filly. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good sixth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not ideally placed.

Forecasts

Yankee Stadium (15/8), Druid's Altar (5/2), Caldwell (4/1), Pyramid Rock (9/2), La Joya (6/1), Monopoly (6/1), Wrinkle In Time (11/1), Acuity (12/1), Glint Of An Eye (20/1), Snegurochka (25/1), Calcite (33/1), The Blame Man (66/1), Dammit (100/1)

YANKEE STADIUM very much caught the eye on the back of 14 months off when sixth in a 10f Navan maiden 2 wees ago, noted finishing with plenty of running left having been denied a clear run from 2f out. Open to further progress for his powerful stable, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run. Druid's Altar and Caldwell are fancied to give him most to think about.
