Lightly-raced gelding. Improved when third in maiden at the Curragh on penultimate outing but failed to build on that when last of 6 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Gelded since.

25/1

Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, showed a bit more when eighth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Back up in trip but will probably be of more interest in nurseries.

Foaled April 1. €10,000 foal, £30,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f-7.6f winner Comanchero and 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Banner Road. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Will probably have to be smart to make winning debut here.

Twice-raced filly. 11/1, improved from debut when fourth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, the penny dropping as the race progressed to be nearest at finish. Up in trip. Open to improvement.

Foaled April 15. €11,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f/1m winner Silver Lace and 2-y-o 7f winner Cocohulababy. Makes debut in a decent race and is likely best watched.

Forecasts

Rattle And Hum (5/2), Evening's Empire (11/4), McCauley's Tavern (3/1), Karaoke (7/2), Wild Rover (9/2), Red Letter Bray (5/1), Roman Moon (11/2), She's Local (6/1), Shangrilama (11/1), Allesnick (16/1), Master Garvey (25/1)

The well-bred KARAOKE went off odds-on on debut and showed a lot to justify his prominent market position, so he's fancied to make it second time lucky here. She's Local, Red Letter Bray and Evening's Empire have also shown enough to make them players here.
