Dha Leath¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 74

18/1

Modest maiden, only tenth of 14 in nursery at this course (7f, 50/1) 16 days ago when missing break. Others more persuasive.

Form: 8270

(7)

Kalu Pande^t1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 72

3/1

Has hinted at promise before never-dangerous tenth in 5f maiden here 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip with tongue strap on for handicap bow so he's worth considering.

Virtual Hug¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 71

11/4

13/2, only ninth of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 16 days ago. Well treated on best form but he needs to bounce back.

Form: 848309

(6)

Summer Ambition^p¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 70

17/2

Promising third in 7f nursery here and run best ignored when twelfth in similar event 16 days ago when suffering poor run. Well treated and bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 70530

Battle Angel³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Mullins| OR: 66

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at this course (7f) 30 days ago. In very good hands and should improve back over further on handicap debut so no forlorn hope.

Form: 400

Castle Stables^p1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 66

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden, last of 14 (66/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on for handicap bow with lots to find.

Form: 900

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden, only thirteenth of 15 in nursery (28/1) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip for polytrack debut but others preferred.

28/1

7/1 and tongue strap on, last of 12 in nursery at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip yet easily opposed.

Form: 805000

(11)

Vazzy⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Leigh Roche| T: N Meade| OR: 52

7/2

Modest maiden but posted good fifth of 12 in nursery at this course (6f, 11/2) 9 days ago. Weighted to have a say but stamina is not assured over this much longer trip.

Form: 09045

(10)

Cornice³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: J C McConnell| OR: 45

80/1

Poor maiden but she arrives on back of good fifth of 9 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy) 32 days ago. This step up to 1m will suit too so she's not dismissed on her polytrack debut.

Form: 80685

Forecasts

Virtual Hug (11/4), Kalu Pande (3/1), Vazzy (7/2), Mirage More (11/2), Vocal Gymnastics (8/1), Summer Ambition (17/2), Battle Angel (14/1), Dha Leath (18/1), Dream Katcher (25/1), Chevillon (28/1), Castle Stables (28/1), Cornice (80/1)

SUMMER AMBITION didn't enjoy the rub of the green when down the field here earlier in the month and had shaped with promise prior to that so looks the one to focus on off a good mark. Both Kalu Pande and Battle Angel have the potential to take a big step forward now going handicapping so rate the chief dangers in an open nursery.
