Aurum Sky¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A J Martin

150/1

Last in pair of maidens. Drops back from 1m here and is impossible to fancy again.

Form: 00

Duke Of Vienna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

13/8

Foaled January 8. Justify colt. Exciting newcomer from leading yard. No surprise if he proves to be up to making winning debut, especially if market speaks in his favour.

Navalny¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: H De Bromhead

13/8

Has looked a real handful but has clearly got plenty of ability, again showing promise when 6½ lengths fifth of 10 to Spirit Gal in listed race at Dundalk (7f, 16/1) 16 days ago. Drop in trip may help him channel energy in right direction.

Form: 45

(4)

Navy Beach¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: A J Martin

100/1

Well-bred gelding but looked one for longer term when last of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 125/1) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip.

Form: 0

Polar Bear^v¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 82| BF

3/1

Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 6/5, wasted what looked a good opportunity when second of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, going with little fluency. Claims on best form.

(7)

Son Of Sampers²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

12/1

Twice-raced colt. Bred to be useful but didn't build on promising debut when only eighth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 98

Trident Star²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J McAuley

40/1

Twice-raced gelding, formerly trained by Mrs J. Harrington. Showed more than debut when fourth of 9 in claimer (7/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 27 days ago but significant step forward required to feature here.

Form: 54

Forecasts

Duke Of Vienna (13/8), Navalny (13/8), Polar Bear (3/1), Desert Haven (9/2), Charles Bianconi (5/1), Son Of Sampers (12/1), Trident Star (40/1), Navy Beach (100/1), Aurum Sky (150/1)

NAVALNY has done plenty wrong in a pair of starts to date but clearly possesses a good deal of ability and he may well prove more at home over this shorter trip. Duke of Vienna is a very notable debutant for Ballydoyle and significant support would be ominous. Desert Haven can complete the placings.
