14/1

Seems to be gradually getting better with racing, shaping well in third on nursery debut at Galway in July before running best race when filling same position in Roscommon maiden earlier this month. Holds place claims once more.

Ryano Bhino²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: H De Bromhead

33/1

€47,000 yearling, Churchill gelding. Showed plenty to work on when seventh of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm, 80/1) on debut 24 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 7

Williamsburg¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane

4/1

Has shown fair form in 2 starts. Seemed unsuited by the drop in trip when 1½ lengths fourth of 18 to Fighting Tears in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. Should benefit from this longer trip on pedigree.

Form: 74

Golden Omen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade

14/1

Foaled April 20. €37,000 yearling, Bayside Boy colt. Closely related to smart winner up to 9f New Energy and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 9f Victoria Regina. Makes some appeal on paper on debut and market can guide.

Jisir⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: D Hogan

200/1

Twice-raced colt who's shaped as if in need of experience on both outings. Significantly up in trip but looks one for handicaps.

Form: 00

Mirren¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: D Marnane

3/1

Debut fifth at Leopardstown worked out quite well and he matched that form when second of 16 in maiden (3/1) at Gowran (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. The step up to 1m will suit and he remains open to improvement.

Form: 52

Roy Bean²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade

13/2

€18,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Naval Crown colt. 12/1, showed ability despite finishing last of 4 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, good) on debut 29 days ago. The runner-up has since gone one better and any positive market vibes should be noted with Keane in the saddle.

Diamonds And Dames³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

5/1

€55,000 yearling, Churchill filly. 8/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when 4¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Sword Of State in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to firm) on debut in July. Should improve for that initial outing.

Form: 4

Miss Cornelia²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

No better than mid-field in 2 maidens and now needs this run for a qualifying mark.

50/1

€10,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior colt. 33/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when tenth of 16 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

11/1

€20,000 yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Hooded and shaped as if better for the run when 5 lengths fifth of 9 to Celtic Moon in maiden (50/1) at Bellewstown (1m, good) on debut in July, not knocked about. Should have more to offer.

Hello Youmzain filly who's progressed with each run. Seventh of 16 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to firm, 250/1) last week. May have more chance in handicaps.

Joseph O'Brien is having such a good season numerically and it would be no surprise were he to saddle another winning newcomer in TOGETHERWEAREFREE. Diamonds And Dames can benefit for her debut and chase the selection home, with Mirren seeing out the places.
