Acclamatic^p1²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

15/8

Twice-raced colt. 5/1, third of 8 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago. That was a shade disappointing given his debut promise but worth another chance with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 33

Archers Bay^b1²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A P O'Brien

12/1

Wootton Bassett colt. 16/1, showed only greenness when last of 8 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago. Blinkers quickly reached for ahead of this and he's best watched at present.

Form: 8

Claret⁵⁹

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

1/1

Makes lots of appeal on paper but he looked one who may well flourish at a later stage when seventh of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) on debut 59 days ago. In top hands and he should do better.

Form: 7

Fits Perfect

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

15/2

Foaled March 22. Camelot colt. Half-brother to useful 9f-2m winner Goodie Two Shoes. Dam unraced, closely related to top-class winner up to 1½m (including Derby) Authorized. Betting can provide clues.

Claret (1/1), Acclamatic (15/8), Fits Perfect (15/2), Shosholoza (10/1), Archers Bay (12/1), Minella Buoy (66/1)

ACCLAMATIC ran below the level he displayed on debut despite again finishing third in a Galway maiden 26 days ago, but he's worth another chance to get back on the up in a contest that may not take much winning. Newcomer and stablemate Fits Perfect and Claret may emerge next best.
