Flanker Jet¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Murray

50/1

Fourth of 10 in maiden over 7f at Curragh (4/1) on debut, then sixth of 7 in listed race at Naas (22/1) 19 days ago, shaping like a non-stayer tackling 1m. Return to this shorter will suit but work to do if he's to feature in this company.

Form: 46

Flushing Meadows²⁶

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

30/100

Impressive winner of maiden at the Curragh (6f) on debut. Narrow second of 5 in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes back there 26 days ago, not yet the finished article and headed final 100 yds. Type to go on improving and he's of significant interest now tackling 7f for the first time.

Form: 12

North Coast¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 95| D

3/1

Won readily at Down Royal over 7f in June after promising debut. Finished second of 7 in listed race over 8f at Naas (2/1) 19 days ago, unlucky to bump into a more progressive rival. Back at 7f and he could well provide the main challenge to Flushing Meadows here.

Prospect Thunder

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Murray

25/1

Foaled March 5. Acclamation colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Nouvel Espoir. Dam, maiden (stayed 10.5f), sister to winner up to 9f Namecheck and winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Race Day (both useful). Pitched in deep for debut and best watched unless market vibes proved particularly positive.

Flushing Meadows (30/100), North Coast (3/1), Prospect Thunder (25/1), Flanker Jet (50/1)

Impressive debut scorer FLUSHING MEADOWS ran to a similar level on second start despite not looking the finished article when runner-up in Group 3 company at the Curragh 26 days ago. He promises to be suited by this step up to 7f and is fancied to prove tough to beat. North Coast is proving steadily progressive himself and rates the chief threat.
