Ides Of March²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| BF

1/1

Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden (5/4) at this course (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Drop back to 6f looks a good move and he's the one to beat.

Form: 43

33/1

Foaled April 29. €110,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Mutaraafeq and useful 7.4f/1m winner Warnie. Slight concern that he's equipped with blinkers for this debut but one to note all the same. Yard also saddled Source Code.

14/1

Once-raced colt. 7/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 77 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time and likely to improve but Ides of March is Ryan Moore's pick.

Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in maiden (9/1) at Galway (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course.

125/1

Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, good, 25/1) 45 days ago. Newcomer Lady In Paris appears to be the stable first-string.

60,000 gns foal, 180,000 gns 2-y-o. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Ifrachy and 6f/7f winner Exceed Loose, while her dam was successful at up to 1m, including over 5f at 2 ys. Another who needs a close look in the betting.

7/1

Promising type. 7/2, third of 13 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 35 days ago, nearest finish. May well do better and she's a serious contender.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Ides Of March (1/1), Knockmark (6/1), Lunigiana (7/1), Source Code (17/2), Lady In Paris (12/1), Monumental (14/1), Comanche Brave (16/1), Lost President (16/1), Winter Bonfire (20/1), Montpellier Green (33/1), South Shore Island (40/1), Believeth (66/1), Carla Ridge (66/1), Crystalaire (100/1), Dandy Khan (125/1), Whiskey And Beer (125/1), Rebel Lily (150/1), Peaceful Dove (150/1), Chica Guerrera (200/1)

Though he was a relatively inexpensive acquisition at just €8,500, LOST PRESIDENT shaped well when putting in good late work from a compromising position on debut at Navan. He could be about to take a sizeable step forward is an appealing value alternative to Ides of March and Lunigiana, both of whom have shown a fair level of ability in two starts apiece. Knockmark and the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair, Montpellier Green and Source Code, are the most interesting newcomers on show.
