Hardy Warrior⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 107| BF

2/1

Useful colt who made a winning reappearance at Naas in March. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 9 to Pearled Majesty in Prix Noailles at Longchamp (10.4f, good, 17/10) 50 days ago. Has good chance on these terms.

Form: 4124-13

(1)

Bunyola Bay³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

33/1

Built on debut promise 6 months earlier when winning 5-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 2/1) 38 days ago, finding extra. Significantly up in trip, which will suit this well-bred colt but much more needed.

Form: 3-1

(12)

Loch Gamhna²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Harnett| T: M Hassett| OR: 77

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, bit below form 9½ lengths sixth of 16 to Satoyama in maiden at this course (1m, good to soft) 27 days ago, not knocked about. Difficult ask.

Form: 03-786

(3)

Perisher^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 91| C| D

5/2

Going the right way now, producing a useful effort when winning 6-runner minor event at Naas (10.4f, good, 11/8) 23 days ago, albeit having the run of the race. Repeat of that form will see him on the premises.

Form: 253-311

(8)

Summer Is Tomorrow³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94

5/1

Useful colt who seemed stretched by the trip on reappearance when last of 4 in minor event at Cork (10.5f, good to soft) 38 days ago.

Form: 51210-4

(15)

Satoyama²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: J P O'Brien| C

9/1

Debut form worked out well and he did his bit when landing 16-runner maiden at this course (1m, good to soft, 3/1) 27 days ago, suited by increase in trip. May well do better as stamina is drawn out further so has to be of interest. Engaged 15.50 Listowel Sunday.

Form: 51

(19)

Camino Vino³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell

25/1

Winning debut at Dundalk over 1m in December. 22/1, 11¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Thundering On in Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1¼m, good) 37 days ago, faring about as well as could be expected fast-tracked to Group 3 company. Capable of better in the right grade.

Form: 1-5

(5)

Matilda Joslyngage¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Lee| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 77

50/1

Creditable fourth of 15 in maiden (20/1) at Leopardstown (1m, good) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere on these terms.

Form: 762-4

(4)

Karrygrant^h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 81| BF

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 6/4, below form fourth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Trainer going well and hood on first time but big career best required.

Form: 2-324

(18)

Manton Bay¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 86| BF

10/1

Strong in the betting and shaped well when second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Navan (1¼m, good to soft) 16 days ago. Stable in good form. Looks very competitive with slight drop in trip in his favour.

Form: 61-32

(17)

Brownstown³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 90

9/1

Form: 14460-3

(20)

Killashee Warrior²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Powell| T: E & P Harty| OR: 91

14/1

Maiden winner at Thurles in October. Better form in defeat this season, good 4¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Kensington Lane in Athasi Stakes at the Curragh (1m, good) 28 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 441-47

(16)

Marjorie Daw²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J G Murphy| OR: 79| C

66/1

Form: 41-84

(6)

Cherry Hill Girl⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A Slattery| OR: 79

22/1

Form: 613-774

(9)

Flawless Fusion²⁰

40/1

Forecasts

Hardy Warrior (2/1), Perisher (11/4), Summer Is Tomorrow (11/2), Satoyama (8/1), Brownstown (8/1), Manton Bay (12/1), Killashee Warrior (12/1), Mo Mhuirin (16/1), Miss Romagna (16/1), Cherry Hill Girl (16/1), Karrygrant (20/1), Honouramongthieves (25/1), Bunyola Bay (25/1), Camino Vino (25/1), Loch Gamhna (50/1), Louisiana (50/1), Marjorie Daw (50/1), Flawless Fusion (50/1), Matilda Joslyngage (66/1), Why Wyoming (66/1)

Joseph O'Brien looks to have a stranglehold on this event with HARDY WARRIOR and Satoyama (declared 15.50 Listowel Sunday) probably the pick of his quintet. The former is a classy runner in the context of this race and is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Of the rest, Manton Bay warrants a second look.
