Cascade Canyon¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: Kevin Coleman

20/1

Went backwards from a promising debut when well beaten in a Navan maiden last time and will probably be better off in handicaps.

Form: 60

Lord Aus¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh

6/1

In good hands but still looked in need of the experience when well held in a Gowran maiden (1m) second time up.

Form: 80

Maxminelli^t1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 69

9/2

Fourth in a Dundalk maiden last autumn and may have needed the run (returning from 5 months off/a gelding operation) when seventh of 13 at Navan on qualifying run. Interesting that connections persist in maiden company and he's worth considering with a tongue strap on first time.

Form: 64-7

Pass The Buck^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 67

5/2

Showed more than previously with cheekpieces fitted on return/first start since being gelded, finishing eighth of 13 in a handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy). Needs more but he's in excellent hands and the longer trip will suit.

Form: 007-8

Priorstown¹⁶

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

5/1

Unable to build on a promising debut effort when well beaten in a Gowran maiden (40/1) second time up. The longer trip ought to be in his favour and while we may not see the best of him until handicaps, he does look the pick of the Murtagh pair.

Form: 60

Glamazon^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 66| BF

5/2

Fair filly stepped up on her reappearance run when fourth of 14 in a solid-looking handicap at Limerick (1m). High hopes this longer trip will prove within range, and she appeals most with first-time cheekpieces added on return to maiden company.

Form: 4740-54

Premier Princess²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan

20/1

Failed to build on the modicum of promise shown first time up when well beaten in a Leopardstown maiden (1m, soft) last month.

Form: 50

Forecasts

Glamazon (5/2), Pass The Buck (5/2), Maxminelli (9/2), Priorstown (5/1), Lord Aus (6/1), Avec Grand Plaisir (16/1), Cascade Canyon (20/1), Premier Princess (20/1)

GLAMAZON's latest fourth should work out well and she's been found a good opportunity to open her account. Maxminelli looks the most likely danger, connections opting for another crack at a maiden rather than handicaps.
