4/1

New Bay colt who stepped up on debut effort when winning 1½m maiden at Dundalk last month. Quickly transitions to handicap company on turf debut and looks likely to go on improving. Holds an Irish Derby entry.

Form: 6-1

Eniac³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 78

4/1

Siyouni colt who has shown promise in a trio of maidens over inadequate trips. Type to do better now tackling a handicap and stepped up to 1½m for the first time.

Form: 93-5

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 74

10/3

Sottsass filly who has taken off since switched to handicaps, winning at Dundalk in March and April. Returns to turf and is up in trip, but a 9 lb rise for last month’s success looks harsh on the face of it.

Form: 00-011

Chestnut Palace¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade| OR: 72

33/1

Some promise when mid-division at best in trio of turf maidens. Should make more of an impact now handicapping but stamina to prove at this trip.

Servare^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 71

11/1

Much improved when readily landing 13-runner handicap at Navan (1¼m) in March, but looked undone by 12 lb rise for that success when 3¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Darius Dark at Cork last time. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 0048-15

Darius Dark¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 68| D

7/2

Left previous maiden efforts well behind when winning an 8-runner 1½m handicap at Cork in April, the winning margin not fully reflecting his superiority. A 5 lb rise looks fair and type to improve again.

Form: 09-01

Divine Believer²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Robbie Colgan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 66

40/1

Finished nearer last than first in a trio of maidens and finished only mid-division on handicap debut at the Curragh in April. Much more needed.

Form: 0077

Dreoilin²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger| OR: 66| BF

9/2

Good efforts when runner-up in handicaps at Navan (1¼m, behind Servare) in March and the Curragh (1m, unsuited by drop back in trip) last month. Will be thereabouts if lasting out the longer trip.

Form: 89-422

Forecasts

Keepsgettingbetter (10/3), Darius Dark (7/2), Bay Of Stars (4/1), Eniac (4/1), Dreoilin (9/2), Servare (11/1), Pass The Buck (20/1), Chestnut Palace (33/1), Divine Believer (40/1)

DARIUS DARK had more in hand than the winning margin suggests last time and is taken to follow up from a 5 lb higher mark. The similarly unexposed Bay Of Stars and the in-form Dreolin are feared most.
