Senor Carrots

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver

25/1

8,000 gns yearling, Pride of Dubai colt. Dam US winner up to 1m (British 2-y-o 5f/6f winner). This something of a belated debut and likely best watched unless the market indicates otherwise.

Form:

(3)

Peppermint Bay²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K J Manning| T: J Feane

50/1

Once-raced filly. 14/1 and tongue strap on, seventh of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.5f, good) on debut, considerately handled. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins.

Form: 7-

(8)

Chrismoltisanti²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Gallagher| T: R O'Sullivan

20/1

Thrice-raced gelding who showed more than previously when fifth of 16 in maiden at Cork (6f, good, 100/1) 26 days ago, running on without being unduly punished. May do better, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 7-05

(5)

Coolree

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: M A Enright| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch

100/1

Mondialiste gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Matula and 2-y-o 7f winner Diala. Dam, 7f winner, closely related to useful 7f winner Lukrecia.

Form:

(6)

El Magnifique³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 74

8/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 11/4, sixth of 7 in maiden at Sligo (5.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Booking of Keane a plus.

Form: 322-36

(15)

Lord Abama⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| BF

6/1

Twice-raced colt. 5/2, fifth of 18 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Feasible to think he will strip fitter for that run and he remains capable of better still.

Form: 4-5

(2)

Schiele^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 79

4/1

Lightly-raced colt. 11/4, respectable fourth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Yard in good form and no surprise to see him in the shake up.

Form: 33-34

(1)

Selective Power¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: C P Hoban| T: E Lynam

100/1

Once-raced gelding. 28/1 and hooded, eleventh of 15 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago, showing only greenness. Passed over here.

Shoebox King¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jake Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 74

9/2

Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 7/1, good second of 10 in maiden at Cork (6f, soft) 14 days ago.

Form: 345-862

(10)

Aratori¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: E & P Harty

5/2

Caravaggio filly who was backed at long odds and showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a 15-runner maiden (6f) on debut here in May, running on. Rates a likely improver and one to consider.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Aratori (5/2), Chicago Lightening (7/2), Schiele (4/1), Shoebox King (9/2), Lord Abama (6/1), Fanore (15/2), El Magnifique (8/1), Chrismoltisanti (20/1), Senor Carrots (25/1), Peppermint Bay (50/1), Grigal (66/1), Leclerc (66/1), Coolree (100/1), Selective Power (100/1), West Bay Duchess (150/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (200/1), Lisamaria (250/1)

ARATORI was backed at long odds and showed plenty of ability when just touched off on debut here 12 days ago and, with progress expected, she could be the way to go. This is a competitive maiden however, with Schiele, Lord Abama and El Magnifique just a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.
