Cairo¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 107| D

30/100

Quality Road colt who made good progress as a juvenile, career-best effort when gaining second win from 4 starts in Group 3 Killavullan Stakes (7f) at Leopardstown in October. This looks a good opening for him on return with further progress distinctly possible.

Cash Out^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80| CD

14/1

Thrice-raced winner. 5/4, won 13-runner maiden at this C&D 14 days ago, driven out. This understandably tougher upped markedly in class but he's in good hands and very much the type to do better still.

Form: 7-21

News At Ten²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 82| CD

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (9/4) at this C&D 28 days ago, leading entering final 1f and driven clear. Needs to pull out more up in class but that not out of the question.

Form: 34-31

Stormy Entry²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: W P Browne| OR: 84| CD

15/2

Point Of Entry colt who made it 2 wins from 3 career starts when edging out re-opposing Cash Out in a C&D minor event 21 days ago. Type to progress further.

Form: 2-11

Tiverton¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: D K Weld| OR: 91

14/1

Lightly-raced winner. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 10½ lengths eighth of 11 to Cairo in Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, soft), finding little. Off 139 days. Makes polytrack debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 91| D

50/1

Bellewstown maiden winner (7.9f) who followed up on nursery debut at the Curragh (6f) in July. Proved a disappointment in valuable big-field contest final start at Naas in August but not out of things for each-way purposes on return to action.

Form: 2110-

Miss Caruso⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 78| CD

50/1

Thrice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, just holding on. Type to do better again but handicaps may be more her bag.

Form: 641

Ti Amo Sempre¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: A Murray| OR: 74

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in minor event (11/1) at Redcar (6f, soft). Off 130 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Uphill task.

Forecasts

Cairo (30/100), News At Ten (6/1), Stormy Entry (15/2), Cash Out (14/1), Tiverton (14/1), Miss Caruso (50/1), All Things Nice (50/1), Ti Amo Sempre (150/1)

CAIRO made good progress as a 2-y-o, doubling his tally with a career-best display to land a Leopardstown Group 3 over 7f in October. He's the type to do better again as a 3-y-o and looks the one to beat returned to 1m. Stormy Entry, who made it 2 wins from 3 starts himself over C&D 3 weeks ago, is feared, with News At Ten and Cash Out others who could well take further steps forward.
