4/6

Foaled March 10. Kantharos colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 1¼m winner Distant. Dam, French 1½m winner, half-sister to 1000 Guineas winner Special Duty. Notable newcomer for top connections.

10/1

Twice-raced filly. Visored for 1st time, fourth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (125/1) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. Others make more appeal.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: G Keane

250/1

Twice-raced filly. 300/1, fifteenth of 16 in maiden at Navan (8f, soft) 21 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Trent (4/6), Newfoundland (11/8), Almanera (5/2), I Am Joking (8/1), Domestic Goddess (10/1), Morning Soldier (33/1), Mister Tiddlywinks (100/1), Sioux Princess (250/1)

NEWFOUNDLAND will probably improve for this initial experience but given he's a full brother to Snowfall, he may well have enough ability to pull him through first time out. Trent is another well-bred newcomer who commands respect, and Almanera is the clear pick of those with form in the book.
