7/4

Confirmed the improvement shown second time up when fifth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip and fancied to be in the shake-up.

Form: 725

Look At The Stars⁹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

9/4

Better for run when eighth of 14 in maiden (5/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) on debut 3 months ago, off the bridle before most. Bound to improve on that initial effort.

Form: 8

Harry The Rogue⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 75

3/1

Had experience on his side and ran creditably when third of 11 in maiden (13/2) at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Obvious claims with that form working out very well (first and second won since).

Form: 523

Sinbad My Dad¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey

20/1

33/1, offered something to work on when eighth of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, not unduly punished. Should progress.

Form: 8

(9)

Kilworth Kate⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Amy Jo Hayes⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

17/2

Ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth of 5 in maiden at Galway (7.1f, good to soft, 50/1) 9 days ago.

Form: 84

Forecasts

Cardinal Zin (7/4), Look At The Stars (9/4), Harry The Rogue (3/1), Kilworth Kate (17/2), Sportingsilvermine (18/1), Sinbad My Dad (20/1), You Done Well (33/1), Phoenix Princess (50/1), I've Been Dreaming (100/1), Magic Defense (150/1)

This can go to HARRY THE ROGUE, who had a pair of subsequent winners ahead of him at Bellewstown back in July and this looks a good opportunity for Andrew Slattery's charge to open his account. The main danger may emerge from Look At The Stars, who is bound to improve on his debut at Down Royal 3 months ago, with Cardinal Zin rounding off the shortlist.
