Admiral Churchill^b1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 85

10/3

Fairly useful form when runner-up on second start at 2 yrs. Visored, may of needed the run after 8 months off when twelfth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, soft) 40 days ago but gelded subsequently and better showing expected in a headgear switch.

Form: 72-0

Aeon's Aegis¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Fair form in 2 starts to date, albeit not building on debut run when fifth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) in November. Gelded subsequently, and feasible to think he can do better still given connections.

Form: 45-

Bear Creek⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh| T: J P O'Brien

100/1

Once-raced colt. 14/1, looked badly in need of experience when thirteenth of 18 in maiden at Cork (10.4f, soft) on debut 6 days ago. Significantly down in trip and this should reveal more.

Form: 0

Broadstone²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

7/2

Twice-raced gelding. Hooded for 1st time, still green when fifth of 12 in maiden (16/5) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Still appeals as the type to improve for very good yard. Headgear discarded.

Form: 6-5

Highbury See See¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery

28/1

Twice-raced gelding who ran to a similar level as on debut when fifth of 10 in maiden (9/2) at Dundalk (7f) in November, keeping on without being unduly punished. Appeals as the type to make his mark in handicaps after this.

Form: 65-

Hostility¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 86

11/10

No Nay Never colt who matched form of first 2 starts when 3 lengths third of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) in November. Interesting runner back on turf after 6 months off.

50/1

Twice-raced gelding. 33/1, ninth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft) 27 days ago, possibly needing the run after 6 months off. Better showing anticipated.

ADMIRAL CHURCHILL's reappearance effort 6 weeks ago was disappointing given the promise he displayed on his final outing last season. However, he's been gelded subsequently and is probably worth another chance with blinkers replacing the visor. Hostility made the frame all 3 starts as a 2-y-o and he's a threat, with Raykir and Broadstone others fancied to be thereabouts.
