The Rock Factor²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Mullins

100/1

Showed a bit on his sole start in bumpers and caught the eye to a degree on Flat debut at Navan 25 days ago, leaving the distinct impression he had plenty more to give at the finish. Capable of better.

Form: 9

(14)

Almazann

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

9/4

Zarak colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Alazenya. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to very smart 1½m-2½m winner Alandi. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

(9)

Confused

6/1

52,000 gns yearling, Calyx gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 8.7f winner Ancient Story. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Mountain Bear. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Enceladus¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

10/3

From a good family and showed plenty when third in Curragh/Naas (solid form) maidens last year. Irish Derby entry and this longer trip will suit on return.

Form: 33-

(5)

Leeward²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J P Murtagh

66/1

Frankel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 8.5f Viadera. 18/1, badly in need of the experience in Curragh maiden over this trip last month.

Form: 9

(8)

Reynir¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

11/1

Yard has had success with this Aga Khan family and he should improve on his opening effort at Gowran (well backed) a fortnight ago.

Form: 5

200/1

Strike De Vega

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver

16/1

€44,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Closely related to winner up to 9f My Kurkum and 6f winner Hunky Dory and half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Boondoggle.

Form:

(7)

Theorist^t1¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Slattery| T: J S Bolger

12/1

Promising individual who still looked a bit rough around the edges when push came to shove when third at Dundalk (1m) when last seen in December. Tongue tie goes on for return/turf debut and this longer trip should suit.

Form: 53-

(3)

Trojan Fighter^h1,t1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

5/2

67,000 gns foal, Ulysses colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 11f Hornsea Bay. 11/2, made an encouraging start when fourth in Navan maiden over this trip last month, betrayed by inexperience at a crucial juncture. Irish Derby entry and sure to improve (tongue tie/hood now on).

Form: 4

Forecasts

Almazann (9/4), Trojan Fighter (5/2), Enceladus (10/3), Confused (6/1), Reynir (11/1), Theorist (12/1), Strike De Vega (16/1), Big Dispute (28/1), Leeward (66/1), Cut The Rope (66/1), The Rock Factor (100/1), Eternal Echo (125/1), A Man's Horse (150/1), Silver Cuff (200/1), Musical Master (250/1), Miners Cabin (250/1)

TROJAN FIGHTER made a very promising start at Navan last month and could do much better now. He gets the vote over fellow Irish Derby entry Enceladus. Almazann and Confused are interesting newcomers.
