Seven Nation Army¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 92

9/4

Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 7-runner nursery (13/8) at Galway (7f, soft) 19 days ago, impressively. Can go on improving and looks one to keep on the right side of.

Form: 88621

Noble Agenda⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy

7/1

€4,000 foal, €25,000 yearling, King of Change colt who got going late to make a winning debut in 13-runner maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) in June. That form has worked out better than expected and he's open to improvement.

Form: 1

Lars Soldier²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M Mulvany| OR: 84

7/1

Landed 5f maiden at the Curragh in April and bounced back to form when second of 8 in minor event at Cork (5f) 25 days ago. Not really bred to excel at 7f, though.

Form: 415342

(8)

Oristown Boy¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 84

7/2

Took another step forward to get off the mark in 10-runner maiden at Galway (7f, good) 16 days ago, seeming to relish a more positive ride. That performance is supported by the timefigure and further progress shouldn't be ruled out.

Form: 041

(4)

Emotional Hedging¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

15/2

€40,000 foal, €15,000 yearling, Bayside Boy gelding. Dam 8.3f winner out of smart 1¼m/11f winner Galvaun. Knew what was required when second of 11 in 6f maiden at Sligo on debut just under a fortnight ago. Likely to stay the 1f longer trip but others look open to greater improvement.

Form: 2

(2)

Grit And Glory³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Luke McAteer| T: Jack Foley

40/1

€7,000 foal, €20,000 yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 2 winners by Karakontie, including US 5f winner Determined Effort. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when last of 12 in 7f maiden at Leopardstown on last month's debut but needs a big step forward all the same.

Form: 0

(3)

Sword Of State²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rory Cleary| T: B W Duke

3/1

State of Rest filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 7f-8.2f winner Smuggler's Moon. Showed improved form to get off the mark just 6 days on from her debut when making all in Gowran maiden 24 days ago. Has more on her plate now but the slightly longer trip seems sure to suit.

Form: 71

(1)

Gabby Hayes¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: N Meade

50/1

Space Traveller gelding who looked one for the longer term when 10¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Oristown Boy in 7f maiden at Galway (good) on debut 16 days ago.

Form: 9

Non-Runners

Green Dreamer²⁶

Weight: 9-10| Age: 2

Forecasts

Seven Nation Army (9/4), Sword Of State (3/1), Oristown Boy (7/2), Green Dreamer (9/2), Lars Soldier (7/1), Noble Agenda (7/1), Emotional Hedging (15/2), Grit And Glory (40/1), Gabby Hayes (50/1)

SEVEN NATION ARMY looked potentially useful in making his second nursery start a winning one in impressive fashion at Galway 19 days ago and looks one to keep firmly on side. He's taken to get the better of his stablemate Green Dreamer, who ran out of a ready winner of a 1m Leopardstown maiden recently and can progress further. Noble Agenda's debut form has worked out better than expected and he shouldn't be taken lightly, either.
