28/1

Twice-raced colt. 14/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good) 31 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course.

Form: 94

Buster's Universal

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S T McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington

66/1

Foaled March 13. Acclamation colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Walkonby and 2-y-o 7f winner Rockstar Icon. Dam, 2m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 2m Baan. Shane Foley prefers Unionville.

Form:

Chicago Pope¹⁷

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

13/2

Once-raced colt. Seventh of 17 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 16/1) on debut 17 days ago, first home in group. May well do better with that experience to draw upon.

Form: 7

(20)

Cisterna¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery

40/1

Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 17 in maiden (28/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 17 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred.

Form: 86

Controlled

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

9/1

Foaled March 26. No Nay Never gelding. Half-brother to 5f-6f winner Morty and winner up to 7f Tiverton. Dam ungenuine 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1m. Ryan Moore sides with Mission Central, but he needs close attention in the betting all the same.

Form:

(24)

Glen Breeze

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Joyce⁽³⁾| T: P Magee

150/1

Foaled April 12. Royal Lytham gelding. Dam 7f winner out of maiden half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 2m) Pompeyano. Probably best watched on debut.

Hedjet

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

$50,000 yearling, 125,000 gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Sleek Lynx and 1¼m winner Segra. Dam French 12.5f/13f winner. Jockey bookings suggest that The Publican's Son is the stable first-string, but the betting will help point the way in that respect.

Form:

John La Bear²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan

100/1

Once-raced gelding. Tenth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good, 150/1) on debut 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

Form: 0

(7)

Mission Central¹²⁰

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

4/1

Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 6 in maiden (evens) at Dundalk (5f) on debut in April (gelded since). Much better was clearly expected and the son of No Nay Never is likely to be seen in an altogether better light now.

Form: 5

(8)

Mr Tony

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Foaled March 6. 80,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to useful Italian performer up to 1m Korisa. Dam unraced. Seemingly not the yard No 1 based on riding arrangements, but worth a second look in the betting nonetheless.

Form:

(11)

Profit Centre¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: K J Condon

14/1

Twice-raced colt. 15/2, fourth of 14 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, running on. Should progress with that experience under his belt.

Form: 94

(13)

Soy El Fuego

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Ryan| T: G M Lyons

33/1

Foaled February 27. €9,000 foal, €12,500 yearling, Aclaim gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f-7f winner Another Romance and 2-y-o 7f winner Autumn Blossom. Watch Tower appears to be the stable No 1.

Form:

(27)

Stock Market^b1³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien

10/1

Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good, 5/1) 31 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Seemingly the least-fancied of the Ballydoyle trio judged on jockey bookings.

Form: 05

(22)

Unionville^p1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Foaled May 3. 65,000 gns foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 5f/6f winner Cityman and 2-y-o 6f winner Celestial Flight. Wears cheekpieces on debut. Market should point the way.

10/3

Once-raced colt. 12/1, fourth of 17 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 17 days ago, having to pick way through. Likely to improve.

12/1

Twice-raced colt. Third of 17 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 28/1) 17 days ago. Looks capable of winning a race on that evidence, but will probably find a few too good here.

Form: 73

(6)

25/1

Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 15 in maiden (7/1) at Naas (5f, good) 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to raise her game.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

28/1

Foaled February 1. 3,500 gns yearling, Territories filly. Dam unraced. Like her stablemates, she will probably be better for the run.

Forecasts

Watch Tower (10/3), Mission Central (4/1), Chicago Pope (13/2), The Publican's Son (8/1), Controlled (9/1), Stock Market (10/1), Whatchadoin (12/1), Profit Centre (14/1), Mr Tony (14/1), Quinta Girl (16/1), Hedjet (18/1), Unionville (20/1), Simmering Seas (25/1), Bad Boy Rizz (28/1), Zusanne (28/1), Soy El Fuego (33/1), Wingit (40/1), Cisterna (40/1), The Cosy Corner (40/1), Kiss Don't Tell (66/1), Bay Of Supremacy (66/1), Up To Ninety (66/1), Buster's Universal (66/1), Two Fine Shoez (66/1), War Saint (80/1), Star Reign (80/1), John La Bear (100/1), Portmagee Girl (125/1), Glen Breeze (150/1), Lazy River (300/1)

MISSION CENTRAL was too green to do himself justice on his introduction at Dundalk during the spring and, likely to leave that form well behind here, he is taken to provide his yard with a fourth winner in this maiden since it was first staged in 2020. Stablemate Controlled could be the pick of the newcomers, while Watch Tower won't be far away if able to build on his debut promise.
