Cool Azul²³

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

5/4

Blue Point gelding who displayed plenty of speed when runner-up in 6f maidens at the Curragh and Cork. Drop back in trip should suit and big player.

Lamar Canyon¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: T Browne

20/1

Showed more than previously when seventh here (6f) in November on final start for W. P. Browne. Drop to 5f should suit but still has plenty to find.

Sparky Sparky^t1²³

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

7/2

€260,000 purchase who again shaped with promise following a 7-month layoff (also gelded) when third in a 5f maiden at Cork. Raced on wrong part of track there next time so worth another chance with tongue strap applied.

Form: 4-30

16/1

Kodiac filly who showed plenty to work on when third of 12 in 6f maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy) on debut. Struggled at listed level since but back in calmer waters now.

Forecasts

Cool Azul (5/4), Reposado (11/4), Sparky Sparky (7/2), Aughlish (17/2), Focaccia (16/1), Lamar Canyon (20/1), Allirelandmaterial (25/1), Banshof (33/1), Beach Barbie (40/1), Auguste Gusteau (50/1)

COOL AZUL was beaten only by a useful prospect at Cork and gets the nod with the drop to 5f likely to suit. Reposado brings solid handicap form to the table so rates a serious threat, while Sparky Sparky remains with potential having raced on the wrong side of the track at Cork last time.
