Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

2/1

Stepped up greatly from debut sixth when third of 20 in minor event here (6.3f, good to soft) 13 days ago. May do better still so firmly in the mix.

40/1

9/2

Foaled April 30. 20,000 gns yearling, Cable Bay colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Secrecy. Not without interest on breeding but this is no easy introduction.

Form:

(8)

Kind Power

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

9/1

€9,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Davydenko. Yard in good form and bred to be no back number so debutant is worth considering.

Supershock¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: M A Enright| T: S Lavery

28/1

66/1, tenth of 20 in minor event at this course (6.3f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago. Big step forward is required.

150/1

Twice-raced maiden, only ninth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Down in trip but very hard to make a case for.

14/1

£25,000 2-y-o, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart winner Mast Track. Wears hood. Lots to like on paper and yard can ready them so another newcomer to consider.

Form:

(10)

Catherine Chroi⁹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott

50/1

Twice-raced maiden, much better effort when fifth of 15 in maiden at Roscommon (7f, good to soft). Off 96 days with fair bit to find on form.

Form: 05

(13)

66/1

€2,200 yearling, Vadamos filly. Half-sister to 7.5f winner Rachael's Rocket. Dam unraced. Others appeal more on pedigree so newcomer faces no easy introduction.

Form:

(2)

Hanbags N Gladrags

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: L F Roche| T: A Kinirons

66/1

Fast Company filly. Dam, 7f-8.6f winner, closely related to useful 6f winner Happy Odyssey. Not without interest on breeding but yard not renowned for its debut winners.

Form:

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: R O'Sullivan

66/1

€3,000 yearling, Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1¼m Spring Jig. Yard having good spell so newcomer is not without interest. Market can guide.

Forecasts

Belle Image (2/1), Huddle Up (7/2), Ferrybank (9/2), Ones Are Wild (6/1), Kind Power (9/1), Rosie Bassett (14/1), Avagardner (20/1), Fine Distraction (20/1), Supershock (28/1), Aingeal Dorcha (40/1), Catherine Chroi (50/1), Hanbags N Gladrags (66/1), Wantsandneeds (66/1), Enya Va (66/1), Forge Road (150/1)

HUDDLE UP scored in good style at Cork last month so is taken to follow up at the chief expense of Belle Image who posted an excellent third here with the promise of more to come. Ones Are Wild, Rosie Bassett and Kind Power all rate as interesting newcomers though so a positive market move for any of the trio would put a slightly different slant on things.
