20/1

9/2

€60,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stays 21f) God's Own. Represents a respected yard and interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

Colorun Des Carles

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: R A Fahey

33/1

£24,000 3-y-o, Sea's Legacy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful chaser Un Prophete, stays 3m. Dam unraced. Top Flat yard also saddles Keep Kidding.

Form:

Geromino

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

22/1

€11,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Dam, 2m-19f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to French 2m-23f hurdle/chase winner Quick Fire. Market should point the way.

Form:

Pride Park

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: P Atkinson

13/2

€8,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Cavite Beta. Yard boasts a good strike rate in bumpers and he's one to monitor closely in the betting.

Form:

Saint Patric

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt

25/1

Universal gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Lady Bowes. Dam maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m). Probably more of a long-term project.

Form:

Tip Top Tonto

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish

16/1

€22,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to smart hurdler/chaser Kings Palace. Dam, temperamental 21f chase winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and one to note in the betting.

Form:

Vossi

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J Garritty| T: Chris McSharry

66/1

£14,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Dam 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

Joeljalu

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

22/1

Multiplex gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including useful 1m-1¼m winner Alternative Fact. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Not short of appeal on paper and market check advised.

Form:

Keep Kidding

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: R A Fahey

3/1

Sir Percy gelding. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1¼m). Presumably the stable first-string judged on jockey bookings and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Twoshotsoftequila

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies

7/2

Snow Sky gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Clever As A Fox. Yard also saddles Amma Lord and the market should be instructive.

Form:

Latterhead

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho

13/2

Raven's Pass filly. Half-sister to useful 1m/9f winner Succeedandsurpass. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. Limited appeal.

Form:

Shighness

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

40/1

Passing Glance filly. Dam lightly raced in bumpers. Probably best watched, unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form:

Forecasts

Keep Kidding (3/1), Twoshotsoftequila (7/2), Argonauta (9/2), Latterhead (13/2), Pride Park (13/2), Tip Top Tonto (16/1), Amma Lord (20/1), Joeljalu (22/1), Geromino (22/1), Saint Patric (25/1), Colorun Des Carles (33/1), Shighness (40/1), Vossi (66/1)

With no form to go on, the betting should be informative. ARGONAUTA fetched €60,000 as a 3-y-o and he is marginally preferred to Pride Park, who represents a yard which boasts a terrific strike rate in bumpers. Keep Kidding and Tip Top Tonto both command respect, while Joeljalu is also worth a second look.
