St Mark's Basilica colt shaped very well under a considerate ride when fourth on debut and took his form up a big notch when filling the same position behind Nola Soul in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. Failed to land the odds when third of 5 in a Killarney minor event (1m) since. Back down in trip.
|
Looked highly promising when making a winning debut at the Curragh in April but below that level on his next 2 starts, including in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. Back on track when third of 8 in minor event at Cork (5f, good to firm, 5/1) 10 days ago.
|
Passed the post in second at York (6f) second time up but was subsequently disqualified after rider broke the whip rules. Seeming failed to stay 1m in a listed race here last month and gelded since. Visor now applied.
|
Foaled March 18. €38,000 yearling, Starman filly. Dam sprint maiden. Makes some appeal on paper but debut comes in a hot-looking race.
|
Knew his job when landing odds in 7-runner novice at Lingfield (6f) in April before finishing second of 13 in Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, good to soft). Seemed to overdo things in front before finished well held in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and cheekpieces now go on (also gelded).
|
Ardad colt who refused to settle when sixth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good, 22/1) on debut 18 days ago.
|
Soldier's Call colt who looked badly in need of the experience when fifth of 8 in a Fairyhouse minor event (6f) on debut. Possible all wasn't well here 12 days ago but winning this would require plenty of improvement.
|
£105,000 Supremacy colt who shaped with plenty of promise when third of 11 on debut at Salisbury (6f) before confirming that potential to win a 6-runner novice (11/4) at Newmarket (6f, good) 39 days ago. Very interesting raider from England who should improve again.
|
Finished runner-up in a barrier trial but soundly beaten in 2 Leopardstown maidens.
|
Placed on first 2 starts in maidens (the latter over 7f) and she benefited from the return to a sprint trip when winning a 9-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 5/6) 26 days ago. Leading player on these terms with further improvement likely.
|
Foaled April 19. €50,000 yearling, Dubawi Legend filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Bellosa and 2-y-o 5f winner Not For Profit. Dam 6f winner. Interesting newcomer but will likely have to be some way above average to make winning debut in a race of this depth.

Livenka (4/6), South Dakota (7/2), Weekend Roar (11/2), Star Prospect (9/1), Alpe d'Huez (10/1), Eighteenth Smiles (25/1), Starlit (28/1), Ranting Duke (50/1), El Domino (80/1), Maeda Matsu (100/1), Anglesea Bridge (150/1), Lily Bear (150/1)
LIVENKA showed a good turn of foot when getting off the mark in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden and she can follow up at the chief expense of English raider Weekend Roar. Star Prospect can complete the 1-2-3.
