€42,000 2-y-o. Hello Youmzain half-brother to French 1¼m/11f winner Prosecutor. Well backed and showed promise in 1m Dundalk maiden on debut 5 months ago. Entitled to improve (bred to be suited by 1¼m+).

Mergus Serrator¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

7/1

Has made a bright start in maidens 6 months apart, doing his best work at the finish at Navan (1¼m) on return. Can do even better but he'll benefit from a longer trip.

4/1

Frankel colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Red Letter. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Well-backed 5/4, didn't get the chance to show what he could do in 1m Leopardstown maiden last summer, unable to fully unwind in the straight and looked after once his chance had gone. Tongue tied now. Can improve.

Forecasts

Alphonsus Liguori (2/5), Res Ipsa (4/1), Mergus Serrator (7/1), Dark Leader (10/1), Chamonix (10/1), Oro Blanco (18/1), Lonely Island (25/1), Vico Road (33/1), Henry Hudson (50/1), Second Line (80/1), Amrum (80/1), Connor Of Mali (400/1)

ALPHONSUS LIGUORI made a promising start at Gowran 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go with improvement on the cards. Dark Leader was really motoring at the finish on debut at Limerick and should progress. Res Ipsa was well backed and not seen to best effect first time up last summer and can leave that form behind.
