11/2

Overcame inexperience when making a winning debut at Leopardstown last June. Unable to land the odds when fourth of 6 in minor event at Killarney next time, but could still have more to offer this year with tongue strap now applied

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 81| D

22/1

Much improved on third start last year when winning maiden at Roscommon (7.5f) in August, suited by the step up in trip. After 6 months off, probably needed the run when well held in minor event at Dundalk in February. Blinkers added.

Brownstown²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 92

8/1

Looked a useful prospect when making a winning start at Leopardstown last summer. Unable to find any progress at a higher level, mid-field in 30-runner sales race at the Curragh when last seen in September, though she could fare better back in calmer waters.

Loch Gamhna²⁷

22/1

Left debut form behind when third in 13-runner maiden at the Curragh (7f) in October, the front 2 both winning next time. However, he failed to repeat that effort when seventh of 13 in similar event at the same C&D on return in March. Bred to stay at least this far.

Form: 03-7

Star Strewn^h,t⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 82

33/1

Made the frame both starts last year, before justifying strong support on stable debut in 7f Dundalk maiden in February. Found things tougher upped in grade, though, when last of 8 in listed race at Lingfield later the same month.

Form: 43-18

The Publican's Son¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 102

5/6

Showed plenty when runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh on debut last summer. Still in need of the experience both subsequent outings, in the Middle Park at Newmarket and Leopardstown Group 3 on return 12 days ago. The one to beat dropped in grade.

Form: 28-5

Zia Zabel¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini| BF

10/3

Shaped encouragingly on first start when runner-up in 7f Curragh maiden in September, before racing too freely upped to 1m when fourth of 11 at Leopardstown the following month. Worth another chance on return given his debut promise.

Sursum Corda³⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: David J Geary

28/1

Finished last of 6 but showed ability in what is often a good maiden at Leopardstown (7f) on debut last spring, unable to sustain effort. Has 11-month absence to overcome, though.

Form: 6-

Why Wyoming

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: Kevin Coleman

80/1

€17,000 yearling, Intello filly. Half-sister to useful 10.5f winner Dance of Life and 9f/1¼m winner Agrimonia. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Has a useful standard to aim at on debut.

Forecasts

The Publican's Son (5/6), Zia Zabel (10/3), Dial Me In (11/2), Brownstown (8/1), Echo Of Faith (22/1), Loch Gamhna (22/1), Sursum Corda (28/1), Star Strewn (33/1), Why Wyoming (80/1)

THE PUBLICAN'S SON has been highly tried in his 3 starts so far, showing useful form on debut when second in a Group 3 at the Curragh, and he looks to hold leading claims at this level. Brownstown has also been campaigned in a higher grade since winning first time up and is feared most, ahead of Zia Zabel.
