Trovao Dourado²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

125/1

Went with little promise first time up when fifth of 7 in maiden at Down Royal (10.6f) 20 days ago. Faces a difficult task.

Form: 5

Aiteall

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien

16/1

€400,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Antilles out of smart 11.4f/1½m winner Wonder of Wonders. One of 2 newcomers in the line-up for yard which continues to go well.

Ask Me Again^p²⁵

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

33/1

Quickly fitted with cheekpieces, left debut form well behind when fifth of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) 25 days ago. Will need to find more again as he goes further up in trip.

Form: 05

Handani^p1²⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

7/2

From an excellent family and made a promising start when second of 8 in maiden at Naas (1m) in October, a race which has produced 3 next-time-out winners. Respected after 9 months off (has been gelded) with cheekpieces added.

Form: 2-

Hard Promises²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: A Oliver| OR: 91

5/4

Showed plenty on debut in May and built on that effort when ¾-length third of 5 in minor event at Navan (1¼m) last month, beaten only by a pair of useful performers (the second won next time). Leading contender.

Form: 33

(15)

Let's Smash It²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar

10/1

Encouraging second in a 1m Dundalk maiden on debut in December. After 7 months off, ran to a similar level when third of 6 at the same course (10.7f) 25 days ago, but he could yet do better as he gains with experience.

Form: 2-3

(4)

Magnum Cor

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

15/8

€130,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to very smart 1m-1¾m winner Sonnyboyliston and 1½m-16.4f winner Lot of Joy. Dam, winner around 2m, also won over hurdles. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Matties Point²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: W McCreery

100/1

Hinted at ability making his first start when fourth of 6 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 25 days ago, albeit without landing a blow. May be one for further down the line.

Form: 4

(7)

Michinaga

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Weld

125/1

9,000 gns foal, Rey De Oro gelding. Closely related to 6.5f/7f winner King Oliver and half-brother to 7f winner Baleo Ria, both in Japan. Has a useful standard to aim at on debut.

Form:

(11)

Mothel Abbey

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alan Persse⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Flynn

250/1

Arizona gelding. Dam 9.4f-1½m winner. Tough ask making his first start.

Form:

Nottooshabby²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn

250/1

Held back by inexperience when last of 6 in maiden at Limerick (1m) on debut 26 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to need more time.

Form: 6

(9)

Parish Team⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger

100/1

Made more impact than on debut when eighth of 10 in maiden at this course (13f) in June, though still looked in need of the experience. Needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 88

(2)

Plug In Hybrid

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

22/1

€13,000 yearling, Waldgeist gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 13f winner (stays 2m) Black Hawk Eagle, also won over hurdles, and 1¼m winner Lime And Lemon. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Lord Shanakill.

Form:

The Monday Club¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Diego Lima| T: B W Duke

150/1

Hasn't offered much in his 2 outings so far, last of 5 in minor event at Cork (1m) 13 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 55

Forecasts

Hard Promises (5/4), Magnum Cor (15/8), Handani (7/2), Let's Smash It (10/1), Nemorino (12/1), Aiteall (16/1), Plug In Hybrid (22/1), Ask Me Again (33/1), Parish Team (100/1), Matties Point (100/1), Michinaga (125/1), Trovao Dourado (125/1), The Monday Club (150/1), Nottooshabby (250/1), Mothel Abbey (250/1)

HARD PROMISES has made a positive start to his career, third behind a pair of more experienced rivals at Navan on his latest outing, and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Handani is feared most with more still to offer this year, while Magnum Cor makes plenty of appeal on debut.
