6/1

Oasis Dream colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful French 1m winner Maquette. Dam, 1¼m-12.5f winner who won Prix Jean Romanet, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Mexican Gold. Makes paper appeal.

Keogie¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade| OR: 73

40/1

Promising second on 6f debut at the Curragh (heavy) in March but hasn't progressed. Returns from 3 months off and handicaps more likely to be his thing.

Form: 2038

Noble Irish

13/2

No Nay Never colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f-7.4f winner Nemonte and 1m winner Dahlia Noir. Dam, 1m-12.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 15f Tennessee Stud. Of obvious interest given connections.

100/1

Tongue tied and ran to a similar level as on reappearance when sixth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) 15 days ago. Will be better off in handicaps.

Feel Happy^t1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 73

4/1

Wootton Bassett filly who went with some promise dropped further in trip on qualifying run when fourth of 13 in maiden over C&D (good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. First-time tongue tie applied and probably has more to offer. Considered.

Form: 464

(4)

Grande Cuvee¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 70

3/1

Has improved with each of her 3 runs, most recently when second of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) 15 days ago. Should be on the premises if continuing that trend.

Form: 932

Haroussa⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

16/1

Pinatubo filly who showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) a couple of months ago. Looks one for later on.

Form: 95

Lilli's Angel⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Scott McCullagh| T: Daniel McLoughlin

12/1

Sioux Nation filly who ran to a similar level as on debut when eighth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) just over 6 weeks ago. Looks one for handicaps later on.

Form: 98

Saint Agatha^t1¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ryan| T: J A Stack| OR: 73

10/1

Showed plenty of promise when runner-up on debut at the Curragh last summer but hasn't built on that in 3 subsequent runs, most recently when eleventh of 12 on handicap debut back there in May. Better anticipated back in maiden company after a 4-month break. First-time tongue tie on.

Form: 28-30

(6)

She's Too Kool¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: C O'Connell| OR: 76

10/3

Maiden who bounced back to form on all-weather bow when fourth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 15 days ago. Hard to know where the improvement is coming from for her to open her account.

Form: 364-504

Otsana⁴³

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: P Twomey J: Billy Lee

Forecasts

Otsana (5/2), Grande Cuvee (3/1), She's Too Kool (10/3), Feel Happy (4/1), Inform (6/1), Noble Irish (13/2), Saint Agatha (10/1), Lilli's Angel (12/1), Haroussa (16/1), Carry The Dream (28/1), Red Dahlia (33/1), Keogie (40/1), Faithful Ardad (66/1), Spider Star (80/1), Optics (100/1), Spinola Bear (100/1), Hurleys Hill (300/1)

A huge field but only a handful make any serious appeal. Preference is for OTSANA, who shaped with considerable promise when fifth at the Curragh on debut last month and now drops to 6f. She can get the better of Saint Agatha, who is yet to progress from her debut, but a first-time tongue tie could be just what's required. Noble Irish and Inform are newcomers representing powerful connections so they complete the shortlist.
