Akissfromarose²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: James Ryan| T: Daniel Murphy

100/1

Out with the washing in 6f maiden here 3 weeks ago but better was clearly expected (sent off a well-backed 3/1) and it'll be interesting to support again arrives for this son of Kameko.

Form: 0

Artsman

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: E Buckley

100/1

Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Hamza and 7f-8.6f winner Grandstand. However, he doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Call The Cavalry²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: C Timmons| BF

16/1

Stepped up on debut fifth here in December when third of 12 in first-time cheekpieces in another 6f maiden at this course 3 weeks ago. Headgear now dispensed with and improvement needed upped to 7f.

Form: 5-3

Clonbun^p1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

50/1

Little to shout about in a couple of maidens over 1m and he'll probably be better off in handicaps further down the line. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: 70

County Carlow

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

1/1

170,000 gns yearling. Brother to useful winner up to 7f Rage of Bamby and half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Rinnovati. Interesting newcomer from a respected yard and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour.

Egyptian Pharaoh¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Kevin Coleman

10/3

Showed only greenness when fourth of 5 in minor event at Roscommon on sole 2-y-o start but there was far greater promise in his reappearance near-miss over 1m here a fortnight ago. Remains open to improvement and he's a major player.

Form: 4-2

(12)

Gatlinburg¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

11/2

Easy to back and shaped as if in need of the experience when eleventh of 16 in maiden at Naas (7f, soft) on debut in September. Surely capable of a good deal better but it could be that he will need more time.

Form: 0-

Golddream

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Marnane

50/1

Some appeal on paper but not yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. Yard also represented by Jamestown.

Jamestown

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane

14/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1¼m winner Bragbor and 2-y-o 8.6f winner Penfolds Grange. However, like stablemate Golddream, he will probably come on for the run.

Glitter And Glory³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 74

4/1

Consistent rather than progressive but the ability to win a race or 2 is clearly there in light of another creditable effort in defeat in a C&D maiden last month. Likely she will be on the premises.

Form: 46033-2

Mynameisluka

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: J M Barrett

100/1

Not especially appealing on paper and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Perggosa⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Caffrey| T: K H Clarke

250/1

Offered little when tenth of 12 in a C&D maiden in December.

Squishy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Leigh Roche| T: P W Flynn

100/1

Shaman filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to winner up to 1m Pogo and 7f winner Noble Champion (both smart). Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

(2)

Victeix¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell

200/1

Little impact so far and she's another who will likely be better off in handicaps later on.

Forecasts

County Carlow (1/1), Egyptian Pharaoh (10/3), Glitter And Glory (4/1), Gatlinburg (11/2), Goomah (8/1), Hazrama (11/1), Jamestown (14/1), Call The Cavalry (16/1), Wild Bessie (20/1), Golddream (50/1), Clonbun (50/1), Mynameisluka (100/1), Artsman (100/1), Akissfromarose (100/1), Squishy (100/1), Victeix (200/1), Perggosa (250/1)

If the market speaks in favour of newcomer COUNTY CARLOW, the hint should be taken. Indeed, he ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start to his career in this maiden. Egyptian Pharaoh is the form pick on the strength of his good second over 1m here recently, while Glitter And Glory is best of the rest.
