Wartime Warrior²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| BF

8/1

Twice-raced colt. Fourth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good, 11/4) 22 days ago, finding little off the bridle. Still, he's in good hands and it remains early days.

Form: 54

Panic Alarm¹⁰⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 87| BF

6/4

Definite promise when hitting the frame in pair of big field Curragh maidens during the spring, latterly when third of 18 over 6f back in May, short of room 1f out but keeping on. Gelded subsequently and likely more to come now tackling 7f.

Form: 43

Semblance Of Order^p1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: A Oliver

2/1

Buratino colt who took a step forward from debut when runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden (7f) 3 weeks ago. Overfaced in Group 2 at the Curragh since but return to calmer waters rates an obvious plus now. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 827

(8)

Freedom Falls⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: J Davison

16/1

Once-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 8/1) on debut 41 days ago, running green over 1f out but only subjected to a hands-and-heels ride. Likely to improve.

Form: 4

(7)

Skip To The Beat²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Halpin| T: D Marnane

100/1

£20,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. 80/1, held back by inexperience when tenth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) on debut 22 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 0

Laser Jet¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Twice-raced gelding who showed more than first time up when fifth of 13 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) 12 days ago. In good hands and he may have more to offer but yard look to hold stronger claims with Panic Alarm.

Form: 05

(4)

Talete

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini

12/1

Foaled March 19. €8,500 yearling, Cotai Glory gelding. Dam 8.6f-1¼m winner. Probably best watched on debut unless market vibes proved particularly positive.

Lazer Port²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 75

15/2

Lightly-raced gelding. 10/1, very good third of 10 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good) 20 days ago, every chance 2f out and keeping on. Expected to be in the shake up.

Form: 0933

Forecasts

Panic Alarm (6/4), Semblance Of Order (2/1), Lazer Port (15/2), Wartime Warrior (8/1), Talete (12/1), Freedom Falls (16/1), Laser Jet (16/1), Skip To The Beat (100/1)

PANIC ALARM showed definite signs of promise in a couple of early-season maidens at the Curragh and, gelded ahead of this return to action, he's expected to do better still now his stamina is drawn out further. Semblance of Order and Lazer Port can give Jessica Harrington's charge most to think about.
