11/10
Lightly-raced colt. 4/1, good second of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 43 days ago. Very much one to consider on debut for new yard/first run on this surface.

5/2
Foaled March 9. Dream Ahead colt. Brother to high-class winner up to 7f Dream of Dreams and useful winner up to 1m Candelisa. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and one to monitor closely in the betting.

Foaled March 24. £1,000 yearling, Tasleet colt. Dam, ran once, out of unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Lillie Langtry, herself dam of Oaks winners Minding and Tuesday. Likely to come on for the run.

5/1
Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden (4/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, soft) 17 days ago. Another who will likely be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line, but she's in good hands and needs considering here all the same.

Once-raced filly. 50/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at this C&D on debut 16 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps at a later stage.

Forecasts

Aqua Bear (11/10), Thestral (5/2), Henriette Ronner (5/1), Them Days Are Gone (17/2), Lightening Lad (10/1), Secretinthesky (25/1), Fickle Mcselfish (25/1), Alcanzor (66/1), Half Mine (80/1), Mick The Vest (150/1)

Verdict

AQUA BEAR was runner-up twice in maidens for previous connections in Ireland, including on his latest appearance at Dundalk, and this looks a good opportunity for the colt to make a winning start on this side of the Irish Sea. Thestral is a likely type on paper and it will look significant if he's strong in the betting, while Henriette Ronner is probably capable of better than what she's shown to date.
