Foaled March 27. €130,000 foal, €42,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation gelding. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner), sister to useful 5f winner Prince of Lir. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.
|
Whose sales price increased markedly to €300,000, showed plenty to work on when fourth of 11 in maiden here (5f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement having shaped as if this extra furlong should suit.
|
Foaled April 18. No Nay Never colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Galleria Borghese and 2-y-o 1m winner Nor Time Nor Tide, both useful. Dam unraced sister to very smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Kingsbarns. One of 3 in line-up for leading yard.
|
Upped to 6f, left his debut effort well behind when never-nearer third of 12 in maiden over this C&D 6 weeks ago. That form has been boosted since so he could be in the mix.
|
Foaled January 25. €38,000 2-y-o, Persian Force colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 10.4f Zen Spirit (2-y-o 6.5f-1m winner) and winner up to 6f Riffaa Wonder (2-y-o 5f winner). May just be better for this first experience.
|
Foaled March 5. Land Force gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) James Bradley and 5f/6f winner Aidan Andabettin. Faces a difficult ask first time up.
|
Foaled April 25. 525,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Brother to smart winner up to 7f Saber Strike (2-y-o 6f winner) and half-brother to 6f-7f winner Daring Legend. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, closely related to smart winner up to 6f Swiss Spirit. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
|
Has offered little in 2 starts under Rules, tried in blinkers when well-beaten twelfth of 18 in maiden at Naas 18 days ago.
|
Bred to be useful and offered some encouragement making his first start when fourth of 18 in maiden at Naas (6f) 18 days ago. Entitled to take a step forward from that run.
|
Foaled February 28. Nando Parrado gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f winners Asadna (including at 2 yrs) and Watermelon Sugar. One of 2 newcomers in the line-up for yard.
|
Foaled March 6. €30,000 yearling, resold €130,000 yearling, €180,000 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam unraced out of useful 7f/1m winner Evita Peron. Worth a market check.
|
Foaled February 27. 37,000 gns yearling, 85,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodi Bear colt. Dam, maiden, closely related to smart 5f-7f winner An Saighdiur. Yard capable of readying a newcomer.
|
Ran green on his first outing when well-beaten fifth of 7 in maiden over this C&D (heavy) in April. Absent since but this should reveal more.
|
Well supported fitted with cheekpieces for nursery debut, got back on the up when close third in 8-runner contest over this C&D 3 weeks ago, clear of the rest. Can make his presence felt back in a maiden.
|
Foaled April 16. €120,000 yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to stable's 2-y-o 7f winner Down The Glen. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Flaming Spear out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Elshamms. Yard's first 2-y-o runner of the season.
|
Foaled February 27. €155,000 yearling, €72,000 2-y-o, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 9.7f/1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Makfoul and winner up to 1m Paulliac.
|
Well-bred filly but didn't show much on debut when sixth of 7 in maiden at Naas (6f) on debut in May. Will need to leave that effort behind after 3 months off.
|
Sent off at short odds but held back by inexperience when fifth of 14 in maiden at Cork on debut. Took a step forward when third in 18-runner contest at Naas last month (winner landed a Group 2 at Goodwood next time) and she's open to further progress. Major player.
|
Shaped as if need of the experience when mid-field in a C&D maiden (form working out well) on debut, but ran to just a similar level when runner-up at Naas (5f) 5 weeks ago. However, she could yet do better with Ryan Moore on board for first time.

Forecasts
Snowing (7/4), New Bond Street (3/1), Jewel In A Crowd (13/2), Atlantic Bridge (7/1), Tradewinds (8/1), Marco Polo (14/1), Push The Boat Out (16/1), My Lucky Journey (16/1), New World Order (25/1), Santerno (33/1), Katty (50/1), Bengal Tiger (50/1), Joltin Joe (80/1), Luca Brillante (125/1), A I Nation (125/1), Brageiro (150/1), King Paddy (200/1), Mutamarid Lsk (300/1), Nando The Great (300/1)
NEW BOND STREET showed the benefit of her first run when finishing third at Naas 18 days ago and, with her yard going well, she could be ready to get off the mark. Snowing is feared most with Aidan O'Brien having landed this race 4 times in the last 6 years, with Tradewinds and Jewel In A Crowd completing the shortlist.
