Promising when reaching the frame in maidens at the Curragh and Punchestown at the end of last summer. Off for a year (has been gelded) so the betting might be the best guide.

£20,000 Time Test gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Zannda and winner up to 10.4f Zanndabad, both useful. Dam 1½m winner. Bred for longer trips but worth a look in the betting.

Emiza^t¹⁸

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

13/2

Blue Point filly who shaped better than the bare result when fifth on Naas debut and built on that when second of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) with a tongue tie added 18 days ago. Another to consider.

Form: 52

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rory Cleary| T: A McGuinness

Kuroshio filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 6f winner Sir Thomas Gresham. A watching brief is the percentage call on debut.

Forecasts

Let's Smash It (13/8), Chapel Lane (3/1), Elusive Path (4/1), Resurgence (6/1), Emiza (13/2), Riyazanka (14/1), Xirivella (22/1), Testaverde (50/1), Storzando (100/1), Time Whisperer (150/1), Wooloongabba (150/1), Pattyandselma (250/1), The Blonde Lady (300/1), Whatsin The Stars (400/1)

LET'S SMASH IT has shown pretty useful form on all 4 starts and is taken to get off the mark, perhaps at the main expense of Dermot Weld's Dundalk runner-up Emiza. Chapel Lane and Elusive Path represent in-form stables and also have the form to figure.
