Ben Lomond³³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Leigh Roche| T: Gerard Kyne

250/1

6-y-o gelding who showed only poor form over hurdles and offered nothing starting out in this sphere at Kempton 11 months ago. Passed over starting out for a new yard minus usual cheekpieces.

Form: 9-

Sea Celia's Star⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Robbie Colgan| T: L Comer

150/1

Finished well beaten in a German Group 2 (2m) on debut in May and fared little better with his sights lowered when eighth of 9 in a Down Royal maiden (13f) a month later. Can only be watched.

Form: 08

Sunny South West^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: Edward F Power| OR: 85

4/1

Bumper/hurdles winner during first half of 2025 and shaping up with plenty of promise on the Flat in recent weeks, again finding only one too good in a Galway maiden (1½m, soft) 20 days ago. Fancied to be competitive again despite conceding weight to the 3-y-o's.

Form: 22

Almazann¹⁰⁰

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

5/4

Zarak colt from a family the yard know well and he's shaped up promisingly both starts to date, again finding only one too good in an 8-runner Leopardstown maiden (1½m, good) in May. Absent since but yard amongst the winners and he's a key player with further progress on the cards.

Form: 22

Magnum Cor¹²

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

1/1

Sea The Stars colt who hails from a fine staying family and showed plenty to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden (9f) on debut 12 days ago, finishing to eye-catching effect once the penny had dropped. Longer trip expected to be within range and there's better to come.

Form: 4

Michinaga¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Weld

200/1

Rey De Oro gelding who shaped as if in need of the experience when ninth of 14 in a Leopardstown maiden on debut 12 days ago. Probably one for later on.

Form: 9

(6)

One Cool County⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J F Murphy

250/1

In need of the experience in maidens at Killarney/Gowran in recent weeks. Likely to need more time.

Form: 69

Swing Street⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: R O'Brien

150/1

Golden Horn gelding. Showed nothing but greenness when last of 6 at Ballinrobe on debut and is presumably one for later on.

Form: 6

(14)

Teoest³⁰

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

28/1

Teofilo gelding who showed something like his debut form despite finishing last of 6 in a Curragh maiden over this trip 4 weeks ago. Remains early days and could yet do better but more needed if he's to land this.

Form: 46

(5)

De Vega Queen³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 77

14/1

Displayed clear signs of ability on first 2 starts in maidens at up to this trip in the spring but still green and never better than midfield in a Killarney maiden on return from a break last month. Looks the type to do better in handicaps.

Form: 645

(13)

My Girl Jersie^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty| T: P W Flynn

250/1

Failed to even hint at ability in 3 maidens last year and always behind on return from 9 months off at Naas 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 999-0

Possum⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

28/1

Australia filly who shaped as if in need of the experience when eighth of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (1½m, good) on debut back in June. In very good hands but she's another likely longer-term project.

Form: 8

(10)

Salamina⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shay Wallace⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

200/1

Sottsass filly who has finished well held in pair of maidens last week. Passed over until handicapping.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Magnum Cor (1/1), Almazann (5/4), Sunny South West (4/1), Purple Bandit (7/1), De Vega Queen (14/1), Daily Wonder (25/1), Possum (28/1), Teoest (28/1), Sea Celia's Star (150/1), Swing Street (150/1), Michinaga (200/1), Salamina (200/1), One Cool County (250/1), Venerini (250/1), Ben Lomond (250/1), My Girl Jersie (250/1)

ALMAZANN shaped with plenty of promise in a pair of maidens that have worked out well during the spring and returning with his yard amongst the winners, Dermot Weld's charge makes plenty of appeal. Magnum Cor shaped with definite promise also when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden 12 days ago and rates a big threat, ahead of Sunny South West.
