10/11

Showed promise when placed in pair of early-season maidens, latterly when third over 5.7f here in May. Gelded subsequently and no surprise to see him figure with blinkers now enlisted.

Form: 23

Congo River^t²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 85

3/1

Thrice-raced colt. 10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy) 26 days ago, the heavy ground a plausible excuse. Claims if he can replicate debut form back in a maiden.

Form: 236

10/1

Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 15 days ago, dropping away final 1f. Drops back in trip now and claims of hitting the frame.

Not Just Yet⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade

9/1

Once-raced gelding. 25/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 5 days ago, meeting some trouble over 2f out and no extra. This ought to reveal more.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: J C McConnell

17/2

Once-raced colt. 10/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at this course (5.7f, good) on debut in May, running green and fading over 1f out. Entitled to do better.

The Snapper¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Davison

18/1

Foaled May 5. Dragon Pulse colt. Fair form when eighth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 19 days ago, racing in mid-division and no extra over 1f out. May come forward from that.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Beauty Crescent (10/11), Congo River (3/1), Phil's Dream (17/2), Not Just Yet (9/1), Jackstaff (10/1), The Snapper (18/1)

BEAUTY CRESCENT shaped with promise in a couple of early-season maidens and, having been gelded/now equipped with blinkers, he could take a step forward and get off the mark. Congo River could be the danger returned to maiden company.
