Trovao Dourado⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick McGettigan| T: Ciaran Murphy

150/1

Little promise in maidens at longer trip. Drop down should suit on pedigree, though probably one for handicaps later on.

Form: 50

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rory Mulligan| T: P J F Murphy

Finished well beaten fourth of 6 in maiden at Limerick (1m, good to firm) on debut last month and is likely one for longer term.

Form: 5-256

Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 13f-2m winner Elle Dorado Rock. Dam, 2-y-o 8.3f winner who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to smart 9.5f-11.4f winner Majeed.

Strike De Vega⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁴⁾| T: A Oliver

Well held both starts in maidens and is probably one for low-level handicaps.

Form: 06

Trek Home²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 77

11/4

Fairly useful maiden who has finished in the frame on all 5 starts, 2¾ lengths third of 13 to Finika at Cork on latest. Likely to be firmly in the mix for minor honours again.

Form: 44433

Brigids Charm

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁴⁾| T: M Fahey

80/1

Elzaam filly. Dam maiden (stayed 10.5f). Yard well capable of readying a newcomer so any market support should be noted.

Form:

Emiza^t1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Harnett| T: D K Weld

10/3

Blue Point filly who shaped better than the bare result 2¼ lengths fifth of 17 to Never The Same in maiden at Naas on debut 12 days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces on all-weather debut and is one to consider with improvement very likely to be on the cards.

Form: 5

Galavanting

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Conor Cusack⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

25/1

Kameko filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 6f-1m winner Space Tracker and winner up to 1¼m Qaaddim. Dam maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to smart winner up to 7.4f Colour of Love.

Little Sure Shot^b³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 75

17/2

Shaped with promise when second in 6-runner maiden at Leopardstown on debut last summer. Largely disappointing since but took a step back in the right direction when 8½ lengths third of 15 to Bamako Beach in similar event at Fairyhouse last time.

Form: 270-63

(6)

Punica Granatum¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Keithen Kennedy| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79

6/5

Looked unlucky not to win when a short-head second of 12 to Green Carrera in a premier handicap at the Curragh in May. That winner followed up in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and, while things haven't gone to plan since, she sets the standard in this company.

Form: 420-20U

She's Too Kool⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁴⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 79

16/1

Maiden who ran as well as could be expected when fourth in Group 3 Anglesey last summer but hasn't come close to replicating that since. Makes all-weather debut.

Form: P364-50

Forecasts

Punica Granatum (6/5), Trek Home (11/4), Emiza (10/3), Little Sure Shot (17/2), She's Too Kool (16/1), Galavanting (25/1), Strike De Vega (40/1), Call The Cavalry (50/1), Eldorado Glory (66/1), Steppinoncats (66/1), Brigids Charm (80/1), Hurleys Hill (100/1), Trovao Dourado (150/1), Aghadrum Boy (400/1)

PUNICA GRANATUM was unlucky not to beat the Sandringham winner at the Curragh in May and is taken to get back on track now reverting to maiden company for her all-weather debut. Emiza shaped well on debut and looks the chief threat, with further improvement on the cards, while the consistent Trek Home is also respected.
