25/1

€30,000 yearling, Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 6f Last Crusader and 6f winner Game Breaker. Dam useful French 2-y-o 6f winner. Not without interest in a winnable maiden.

85,000 gns foal, 400,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey gelding. Brother to 6f winner Brigid's Cloak. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Enforcer. Appealing newcomer who cost plenty.

(17)

Starman Tom¹⁵

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

6/4

7/1, attracted support and shaped well when beaten just a length in 11-runner Cork (5f, heavy) maiden on debut a fortnight ago, no match for last year's Queen Mary fourth. Bred to be useful and seems sure to improve.

Form: 2

100/1

150/1, played up beforehand and missed break when well beaten in Dundalk maiden last week.

James Garfield gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f winner Alex Belardo and 7f-1m winner Path of Silver. Dam 8.6f-1¼m winner.

(21)

Cactus¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 72

7/1

Just fair form at best in 8 runs last year, placed on 3 occasions (went close under inexperienced jockey at Navan in September). Probably going to have to improve to make a successful return but that's certainly possible given connections.

Form: 632050-

Gilts

80/1

€8,000 yearling, Cotai Glory filly. Dam 1m-10.4f winner.

Glen And Tonic^h¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 71| BF

10/1

Fair form last year, placed twice at Dundalk. 6f looks her trip and she returns with her yard in great form, but she's probably vulnerable.

Form: 586325-

(19)

Grande Cuvee

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack

4/1

Starspangledbanner filly. Sister to 3 winners, including 5f/6f winner Grande Marques and US winner up to 8.5f Bubbles On Ice, both useful. Worth noting for any market support.

Lar Na Coille¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ryan| T: J S Bolger

50/1

In need of the experience in maidens 6 months apart.

Form: 06-

(11)

Magna Kotcha¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

40/1

Well beaten at Cork (7f) but had shaped with promise over 1m at Naas on debut just a fortnight earlier. This drop to sprinting probably not what she wants.

Form: 60

(18)

Miss Moore Cen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin

11/1

€30,000 3-y-o, Dark Angel filly. Sister to 3 winners, including useful winners up to 1m Melesina and Sir Tommy Cen. Dam, 13f-17f winner, also won over hurdles. Mixed pedigree and suspect she'll be better for the run.

(16)

Ochtar Againn²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Byrne

80/1

Little show in maidens 5 months apart.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 75

6/1

Second on debut over 7f at Leopardstown in July but failed to progress. Bit to prove on return though fresh could be the time to catch her.

Form: 2457-

Starman Tom (5/2), Ragaire (4/1), Thenandnow (9/2), Cactus (5/1), Glen And Tonic (8/1), Cantilever (16/1), Grande Cuvee (16/1), Dreaminthejungle (20/1), Lar Na Coille (20/1), Cool Azul (20/1), Concaire (20/1), A Good Yarn (20/1), Magna Kotcha (33/1), Gilts (33/1), Miss Moore Cen (33/1), Tide Of Fortune (33/1), Sweet Baby Zou (50/1), Bartolito (50/1), Spiritofthedawn (66/1), New Divide (66/1), Ochtar Againn (66/1), Classical Symphony (100/1), Changing Direction (150/1), Threebiggulps (150/1)

STARMAN TOM made a bright start at Cork behind last year's Queen Mary fourth and makes plenty of appeal with improvement expected up in trip. Ragaire is an appealing newcomer for a good yard having fetched 400,000 guineas as a yearling. The well-bred Thenandnow and Cactus weren't progressing when last seen but represent leading connections and could yet find races.
