3/1

Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm, 3/1) 7 days ago, not much room. Yard in good form and may well do better.

Form: 37

Thrice-raced colt. 13/8, excellent second of 7 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and sets a good standard.

50/1

Foaled February 16. Fast Company gelding. Half-brother to 11f/1½m winner Drew Breeze. Dam maiden (should have stayed 1¼m). Other newcomers appeal more on paper.

14/1

47,000 gns foal, £45,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 1¼m/10.5f winner A Wave of The Sea and 1½m winner Dark Voyager. Stable in good form so debutante makes plenty of appeal.

9/2

Much better effort when fourth of 11 in maiden (4/1) at Listowel (6.3f, soft) 13 days ago. Should improve again, and well in the mix.

Last of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, good, 25/1) on debut 6 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Parish Hall filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Meala. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Home School. Lots to like on pedigree and in very good hands. Interesting newcomer.

Slamadoor

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Slade Power filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 6f winners Hitchens (very smart) and Tanzeel (smart). Stable having good spell so debutante needs considering.

Forecasts

Thunder Eclipse (6/5), Jarvis (3/1), Snapius (9/2), Nectarine (8/1), Pessoa (10/1), Duvet Day (14/1), Slamadoor (16/1), On The Third Day (50/1), Marm (50/1)

THUNDER ECLIPSE rates the clear pick on the form of his recent Listowel second so gets the nod at the chief expense of Snapius who has progressed with both his runs and looks to have more still to offer. Nectarine appeals most of the five newcomers on show and is well worth monitoring in the betting.
