7/1

Sixth of 12 in handicap at Curragh (9/1) 44 days ago, raced stand side and found no extra in final furlong. Hood removed today, might benefit from dropping back to this 5f trip.

Final Melody¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: N Lupini| OR: 63

4/1

Showed modest ability in three maidens earlier this season. Produced career-best effort when runner-up of 12 in nursery at Naas (7/1) 11 days ago, finishing strongly after conceding first run. One to be interested in for this similar event.

Gelato^b¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: K P Cotter| OR: 63

20/1

Has shown little in recent starts before finishing seventh of 12 in handicap at Naas (8/1) 11 days ago, taking a step back in the right direction despite proving wayward late. Could build on that latest effort with blinkers reapplied.

Hooves Your Daddy¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Neve Bennett⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Fahey| OR: 63

40/1

Showed one decent effort when 5th of 13 at Naas in August but otherwise poor, finishing last of 12 in handicap at Naas (12/1) 11 days ago. Requires improvement.

The Love Machine^t⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 62

9/1

Fifth of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12/1) 7 days ago, possibly ran too soon after previous start and contested a better race than needed. Should be more competitive back at this shorter trip.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: K J Condon| OR: 57| BF

6/1

Shown modest form in previous runs, finishing 6th of 12 in handicap at Naas (7/2) 11 days ago. May appreciate returning to Down Royal at this shorter distance.

Star Reign^t1⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott| OR: 54

11/1

Showed some promise when fifth in 5f maidens at Cork in spring. Finished 21st of 28 in maiden at Curragh (80/1) 51 days ago, making little impact after diving left from stalls. Opening mark looks a fair one with first-time tongue strap applied.

Form: 550

Imnotleavinyou^t¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Terry Casey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 51

14/1

Showed poor form in first three starts over 7f. Improved significantly when third of 12 in handicap at Naas (50/1) 11 days ago, first time over 5f and in a tongue strap, doing best work at the finish. The shorter trip clearly suits and could continue to progress in similar company.

Forecasts

Bay Of Supremacy (11/4), Final Melody (4/1), Award Ceremony (9/2), Love Bomb (5/1), Believe In Glory (6/1), Prairie Echoes (7/1), The Love Machine (9/1), Another Nice'day (10/1), Star Reign (11/1), Spicetown (12/1), Imnotleavinyou (14/1), Gelato (20/1), Hooves Your Daddy (40/1), Elza Diva (50/1), Carnival Spirit (100/1)

FINAL MELODY showed significant improvement when runner-up in a nursery at Naas 11 days ago, finishing strongly after conceding first run. She looks primed to go one better here. Imnotleavinyou also took a big step forward in the same race when dropped to 5f with a tongue strap. Star Reign could improve on her nursery debut with first-time tongue strap applied.
