Tatianna¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 10-3| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: J Halley| OR: 75

16/1

Left her previous efforts well behind when making a winning nursery debut at Down Royal 19 days ago, well on top come the finish. Extra 1f should suit and can defy a 6 lb rise.

Form: 3761

Hi Corbett Court^t¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 71

10/11

Best effort when fifth of 8 in minor event at Cork 12 days ago. Took on 5 previous winners that day so form is solid and opening mark here looks a reasonable one.

Form: 305

(4)

Two Brigade^p1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 70

16/1

Bred to make a speedy 2-y-o and having lost all chance at the start on debut, he showed ability when fifth in a Naas maiden (6f) in May. Never a threat at Bellewstown since but nurseries should see him in a better light with headgear now applied.

Form: 856

(5)

The Drambling Man¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 65

50/1

Has shown more temperament than ability in maidens so far.

Form: 6969

Woodlawn Lily¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 63

11/2

Showed ability on debut (heavy) but well held on her next 2 starts. However, took a step back in the right direction when fifth on nursery debut at the Curragh and forecast rain could prove to be in her favour.

Form: 4675

(8)

Mr Montauk¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 60

7/2

Stepped up on maiden form despite not being seen to best effect when 2½ lengths third of 5 to Tatianna in nursery at Down Royal 19 days ago, denied a run over 1f out. Will be suited by 6f and is one to bear in mind.

Form: 5703

Stellar Path^p1,t¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Gavin Ryan| T: K P Cotter| OR: 57

16/1

Forecasts

Hi Corbett Court (10/11), Mr Montauk (7/2), Woodlawn Lily (11/2), Exchange Student (14/1), Tatianna (16/1), Two Brigade (16/1), Stellar Path (16/1), Fine Line (20/1), Ballymackney (20/1), Littlepacer (25/1), The Drambling Man (50/1), Sophia Royale (50/1), No Time Faults (100/1)

TATIANNA was well on top at the line when making a winning nursery debut at Down Royal, so she's taken to follow up over this extra 1f. Mr Montauk was denied a clear run when third behind the selection that day and is entitled to finish a good deal closer on 6 lb better terms, while Hi Corbett Court showed up well in a competitive event at Cork recently.
