Banish Misfortune⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: Gerard Kyne

250/1

Failed to beat a rival in 2 starts and impossible to fancy.

Cool Azul³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: A Oliver| OR: 74

7/2

Placed 3 times in maidens but progress required on that form to trouble some well-bred rivals, while he also didn't look entirely straightforward when mid-field on handicap debut last time.

Form: 2237

Final Boss^b,t1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 79

50/1

Fair form when third in maiden at the Curragh in October. Possibly needed run when down field in first-time blinkers last time but now tried in tongue strap and has something to find.

Form: 935-0

Strikepoint

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: J Feane

80/1

Phoenix of Spain gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winners Sholaan (up to 7f) and Bounce The Blues (up to 1m). Unlikely winner first time up.

Trek Home¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 75

5/1

Promise when fourth all 3 starts to date, clearly still learning at the Curragh last time and doing well to make the frame under the circumstances. Remains with potential and is one to consider.

Form: 444

(8)

Forza Magico¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane

8/1

Promising fifth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh on debut 14 days ago, slowly away before keeping on gradually. May well do better and could take a hand in the finish.

Form: 5

Hasita^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 73

5/2

In frame all 3 starts this year, including when good fourth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 10 days ago, keeping on. Now has cheekpieces on 1st time for stable going through a good spell, but there's a question mark about the suitability of this drop in trip.

Form: 08-334

Institute⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 80

13/8

Exceptionally bred (by Frankel out of Acapulco) and ran best race when mid-field in handicap at the Curragh over 7f last time, shaping as if this drop in trip could suit so she merits plenty of respect for top connections.

Form: 722-86

(9)

Kidd^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jessica Maye⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

200/1

No promise when seventh of 8 in maiden (125/1) at Bellewstown (5f, good) on debut 8 days ago.

Form: 7

Lady Moon^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Oliver

80/1

Mid-field in maidens both starts to date and handicaps after another outing will be more her thing.

Form: 90

(4)

Little Wing¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: C O'Brien

80/1

Learning when mid-field at best both starts in maidens to date and likely needs more time.

Form: 99

(3)

Off We Go¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty| T: A Oliver

125/1

Looked one for the longer term when down field in maiden at the Curragh on debut 14 days ago.

Form: 0

Wooloongabba

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: J C McConnell

150/1

€8,000 foal, Starman filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Ziggy's Queen. Unlikely sort on paper.

Forecasts

Institute (13/8), Hasita (5/2), Cool Azul (7/2), Trek Home (5/1), Forza Magico (8/1), Grande Cuvee (8/1), Final Boss (50/1), Strikepoint (80/1), Lady Moon (80/1), Little Wing (80/1), Off We Go (125/1), Wooloongabba (150/1), Kidd (200/1), Banish Misfortune (250/1)

INSTITUTE hasn't lived up to her excellent pedigree just yet, but this drop in trip may well suit and she's been found a good opportunity for top connections. Trek Home has made a solid start to his career and further progress could see him in the mix, while Hasita is a serious player if the drop in trip proves no hindrance.
