Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 106| BF| D

11/2

Dual 5f/6f winner at the Curragh in the spring and he has continued in good form, travelling strongly long way when second of 20 in conditions event at York (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Can go well again back at 5f.

Lethimfly¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Powell| T: N Meade| OR: 84| D

125/1

Morning Vietnam³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 92| CD

25/1

C&D maiden winner. Latest win at Cork in July. 5½ lengths fifth of 7 to Ides of March in Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good, 18/1) 34 days ago, seeming stretched by the step up in trip. Not out of things.

Form: 15915

Powerful Nation¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 100| CD

3/1

Promising individual. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 11/4, won 8-runner minor event at this C&D 14 days ago by 1½ lengths from Amazing Athena, cosily. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 2121

Red Evolution^b1⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 85

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 6 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Progress required.

Form: 3245

Sir Yoshi⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 97| D

8/1

Useful colt. Winner at Tipperary in May. Very good 1½ lengths third of 16 to Tropical Storm in listed race at York (5f, good to firm, 28/1) 41 days ago, that despite making his move out wide. Claims of getting involved again on that evidence.

Form: 317463

Snapdragon^b²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 90| BF

28/1

Fairly useful colt. Last of 4 in minor event (evens) at Navan (5.8f, good) 27 days ago, finding little. Blinkers go back on and no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 642224

Amazing Athena^b¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Kelly| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 84| D

50/1

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Naas in July. 13/2, good 1½ lengths second of 8 to Powerful Nation in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago. Trainer going well.

Flash The Cash^b¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 77

100/1

Fair filly. Good second of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 7/2) 14 days ago. Looks to have her work cut out upped markedly in grade.

Form: 530632

(11)

Lady With The Lamp¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 84

66/1

Winner at Bath in June. Very good 1½ lengths third of 8 to Powerful Nation in minor event at this C&D (12/1) 14 days ago, driven over 1f out and keeping on. That may not prove her limit but a step back up in trip may suit on that evidence.

Form: 3163

(3)

Oxford Rock¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 85| D

40/1

Fairly useful filly. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good, 4/9) 13 days ago, kept up to work. Makes polytrack debut. Needs to pull out more.

Form: 277321

(13)

Revoke⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

5/2

Blue Point filly who justified strong market support to make a winning debut in 12-runner maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago, impressively. Shortlisted with progress anticipated.

Form: 1

(12)

Sayidah Dariyan²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: R Hughes

10/3

Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 1/6, won 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago, impressively accelerating clear through the final 2f. That effort was backed up by the clock and well worth her place at this higher level.

Form: 31

Forecasts

Revoke (5/2), Powerful Nation (3/1), Sayidah Dariyan (10/3), Arizona Blaze (11/2), Sir Yoshi (8/1), Lightning Bear (20/1), Morning Vietnam (25/1), Snapdragon (28/1), Red Evolution (28/1), Oxford Rock (40/1), Amazing Athena (50/1), Lady With The Lamp (66/1), Twinkling Toes (66/1), Flash The Cash (100/1), Lethimfly (125/1)

Several progressive types in opposition with Richard Hughes' filly SAYIDAH DARIYAN getting the nod to come out on top. She marked herself down as a pattern-class performer in the making when bolting up at Lingfield 24 days ago and she's well worth her place at this higher level. Revoke and Powerful Nation are similarly upwardly mobile types and are feared along with Arizona Blaze.
