Barton Key¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

200/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) 17 days ago, possibly amiss. Back up in trip. Plenty to find on form.

Camille Pissarro³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 97| BF| D

9/2

Looked a good prospect when winning 11-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 10/11) on debut. Just edged out in Group 3 at the Curragh next time. Only mid-field in Coventry at Royal Ascot since but is better than that.

Form: 120

Celtic Chieftain¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

20/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/4, 6¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Usdi Atohi in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Up in trip.

Cowardofthecounty³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| CD

9/4

Made a taking debut when comfortably beating subsequent winner and current Norfolk Stakes favourite Whistlejacket in 11-runner maiden at the Curragh 3 months ago. Not beaten far in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 11/2) since and remains with potential.

Form: 17

No Return¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness

33/1

40,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 7.4f winner Local Arms and winners in USA by Noble Mission and Speightstown. Third of 8 in novice at Naas (5.9f, good, 22/1) on debut 15 days ago, nearest finish. This a big step up.

Form: 3

Regal Gem¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 84| D

25/1

Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 7/2, won 8-runner nursery at Haydock (6f, good) 15 days ago, driven out. Much more needed.

Form: 141

Sir Yoshi¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 91

50/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Tipperary in May. Creditable 3 lengths fourth of 10 to Usdi Atohi in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good to firm, 15/2) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Plenty to find.

Form: 23174

Treasure Isle¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 97

40/1

Built on his promising debut second in the mud at the Curragh when taking a 5f conditions race at Naas next time under much faster conditions. Failed to fire in 2 listed races since, however.

Form: 2100

Babouche³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| D

13/8

Kodiac filly. Sister to useful winner up to 1m Zarinsk, closely related to useful 1¼m-12.4f winner Derevo. Dam 7f/1m winner. Useful debut when winning 15-runner maiden at Cork (6f, good, 5/6) on debut 37 days ago, forging clear. Exciting prospect.

Form: 1

California Dreamer²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 99

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, good ½-length second of 9 to Truly Enchanting in Airlie Stud Stakes at this course (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 2352

Forecasts

Babouche (13/8), Cowardofthecounty (9/4), Camille Pissarro (9/2), California Dreamer (7/1), Black Forza (12/1), Celtic Chieftain (20/1), Regal Gem (25/1), No Return (33/1), Treasure Isle (40/1), Sir Yoshi (50/1), Barton Key (200/1)

BABOUCHE looked something out of the ordinary when a wide-margin winner of a Cork maiden on debut and can take this step up in class in her stride. Cowardofthecounty and Camille Pissarro were not disgraced in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot so rate the main threats.
