4/1

Sixth of 15 on debut at Roscommon (8f), then fifth of 14 at Listowel (6f) at 3/1 47 days ago when not seen to best effect over an inadequate trip. Step back up to 7f should suit better.

Venetian Star⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

9/2

Lightly-raced with two fair efforts over 5.8f, most recently fifth of 10 in maiden at Navan (15/2) 62 days ago. Steps up to 7f today.

25/1

Matched modest debut form when fifth of 8 at Bellewstown (25/1) 15 days ago where 5f trip hindered her. Significant step up to 7f could suit based on pedigree.

200/1

Showed very little in two maiden 5f starts at Naas, most recently 11th of 15 (50/1) 13 days ago when weakening after being keen. Now steps up significantly to 7f.

Modest promise in maidens before finishing ninth of 15 in a 7f maiden at Roscommon (14/1) 17 days ago, racing lazily. First-time cheekpieces applied to help maintain concentration.

Kensington Lane²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

11/4

Showed greenness on debut at Naas in April when finishing ninth of 13. Fifth of 11 in maiden race at Curragh (40/1) 21 days ago, awkward at the start but ran on late without being knocked about. Likely to appreciate today's step up to 7f and one to consider.

Form: 95

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Ryan⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt

125/1

Showed improvement when 4th of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (100/1) 15 days ago, seemingly well suited by the extra furlong. Still has significant ground to make up.

Form: 74

Forecasts

Kensington Lane (11/4), Jordi Bear (7/2), Summer Is Tomorrow (4/1), Clarity of Thought (4/1), Venetian Star (9/2), Slaudeen (5/1), Invincible Will (22/1), Bullet Bourbon (25/1), Manifest Destiny (25/1), Femme Beauty (33/1), One Cool Bear (80/1), Monocle Rocket (80/1), Maker's Mark (125/1), Darwin's Angel (200/1), Imnotleavinyou (200/1)

KENSINGTON LANE showed promise when fifth at the Curragh, running on late without being knocked about, and should appreciate this step up to 7f. Slaudeen is worth another chance after failing to settle last time out, with the increased distance potentially suiting based on pedigree. Jordi Bear wears a tongue strap for the first time and remains open to improvement.
