Brosay²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: D Dias

7/4

Speedily-bred colt who was much improved from his debut when third in a Dundalk maiden three weeks ago. Sets the standard and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 53

Ellomate²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| BF

9/2

Strong in the betting when a considerately-handled third to Lady Lightning at Wolverhampton and looks the type who could improve markedly, so worth a chance to turn the tables with that rival and open his account at the second attempt.

Form: 3

9/2

Foaled April 7. €30,000 yearling, Acclamation colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 2-y-o 9.5f winner Marefuori. One to note for a stable that has made a terrific start with it's juveniles.

ELLOMATE was behind Lady Lightning when third at Wolverhampton on debut but he didn't have a hard time and there's a case for saying he can turn the tables with that rival on better terms, so he gets the nod. Brosay's third at Dundalk last time is the best piece of form on offer to date, so he's an obvious player if he goes in the conditions.
