Dreaminthejungle¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: C O'Connell

10/1

Second of 8 in barrier trial at Naas and has offered promise both starts 10 months apart, latterly when fifth in a Curragh maiden (6f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Promises to do better again, particularly in handicaps moving forward.

Form: 7-5

Looks a longer-term project having finished down the field in maidens at Dundalk and the Curragh in recent weeks.

Cool Azul¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A Oliver

5/2

Blue Point gelding who displayed plenty of speed when finding only an experienced rival too strong in 23-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to last longer this time and fancied to play a significant role again.

Medusa King

20/1

€46,000 foal, 47,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Dickiedooda and closely related to 1½m winner Sioux Princess. Yard having good spell and confidence behind him in the market would look significant.

Awtaad gelding who offered little starting out in a Gowran maiden recently.

33/1

Havana Grey gelding who cost plenty but he was never a factor in a big-field Curragh maiden (6f) on debut 2 weeks ago. Will surely be capable of better at some point given stable he represents.

48,000 gns foal, 70,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam, Italian 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Bellagio Bond out of Oaks d'Italia runner-up.

Sparky Sparky²⁹

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

10/11

€260,000 purchase who again shaped with promise following a 7month layoff (also gelded) when third in a 5f maiden 4 weeks ago. Saw his race out well then and there ought to be more to come from him back at this linger trip.

Form: 4-3

Cashel Blue²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: K J Condon

33/1

Space Blues filly. Dam won at 5f/6f including at 2 yrs. Showed a bit when seventh of 11 in a 5f maiden here on debut 4 weeks ago. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Form: 7

Casla's Eagle¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: Peter Fahey

22/1

Gleneagles filly who was sent off at long odds and hinted at ability when seventh of 15 in a Gowran maiden (1m) 11 days ago. This should reveal more but marked drop in trip not sure to suit.

Form: 7

Hasita³¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh

14/1

Well-bred sort who showed more than first time up and wasn't beaten far despite finishing eighth in a 7f Curragh maiden in June. Absent since but surprise were she not capable of better as a 3-y-o, including over longer trips.

Form: 08-

Kilmac Air²⁵

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

Dandy Man filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Elliott. Offered little short-term promise when down the field in a Gowran maiden (7f) on debut 25 days ago.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery

Forecasts

Sparky Sparky (10/11), Cool Azul (5/2), The Piper's Call (11/4), Samurai Mike (10/1), Dreaminthejungle (10/1), Xerling (10/1), Hasita (14/1), Medusa King (20/1), Casla's Eagle (22/1), You Smiled (25/1), Cashel Blue (33/1), Ragaire (33/1), Trek Home (33/1), Kilmac Air (50/1), Pacioli (50/1), Ocean Echo (66/1), Concaire (150/1), Pick A Window (400/1)

THE PIPER'S CALL couldn't build on a very promising debut effort when third in a Naas minor event in July, yet he's well worth another chance returning to maiden company having been gelded and appeals as the type to do better again as a 3-y-o. Sparky Sparky and Cool Azul have a race-fitness edge over the selection and should ensure he is given plenty to think about.
