Foaled January 6. Raa Atoll colt. Dam ran once. Doesn't make a great deal of appeal on paper, but still worthy of a market check.

Navy Seal¹⁹

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

1/4

Promising type. Fifth of 13 in maiden (9/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago, running on. Open to improvement and should put his experience to good use, so likely to open his account at the second attempt.

Form: 5

T Or Coffey⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: Paul Mulligan

40/1

Once-raced colt. 125/1, unseated rider in maiden at Down Royal (7f, good to soft) on debut 8 days ago. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: U

Eastern Cape⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Leonard| T: Paul Gammell

125/1

Once-raced filly. 100/1, last of 16 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) on debut 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Unlikely to feature.

Forecasts

Navy Seal (1/4), Bad Desire (4/1), Kathaniel (12/1), Mexican Joe (25/1), T Or Coffey (40/1), Eastern Cape (125/1)

NAVY SEAL was doing some good late work when fifth at Killarney on debut and, with plenty of improvement expected, he's likely to get off the mark. Bad Desire makes plenty of appeal on paper and looks the obvious danger.
