Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden

Foaled April 1. Dandy Man gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, sister to useful winner up to 7.5f Cacciante. Yard has 2 wins and 3 places from 5 newcomers saddled in past 12 months. Considered, especially if supported.

Hit the frame 5 times in maidens prior to finishing creditable 2¼ lengths second over C&D on nursery bow. Below that level when beaten 5 lengths in Navan maiden on Wednesday, however, he's still the pick on previous form.

Sent off at 12/1 and wasn't knocked about when down the field (3¼ lengths behind Bit Of A Buzz) on debut at Navan 2 days ago. Isn't totally discounted in a thin-looking maiden.

Shown little at long odds either start to date. Hood goes on.

Had finished sixth in a barrier trial prior to finishing well beaten on debut at Gowran (7f) in June. Has tongue strap added (replacing hood) on first start following a gelding operation and pedigree offers some hope he'll make a sprinter.

Foaled February 27. Far Above colt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Field Day out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Naval Affair. Yard's juveniles often need their first run.

Foaled January 17. Unfortunately filly. Dam 5f winner. Doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

Offered something to work on when sixth on Cork (5f) debut in late-July. Attracted support/ridden more positively when beaten 3½ lengths at Sligo (6f) subsequently, didn't fully settle/faded. Step back in trip could benefit on that evidence, and she's one of the more interesting runners.

Foaled May 4. Elzaam filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7.5f Cacciante and 2-y-o 5f winner Giselles Thunder. Dam unraced. Makes appeal on paper, for all her yard isn't a regular source of debut winners.

Went with little encouragement on debut at the Curragh (6f, 25/1). Hard to be confident dropped in trip sporting a change of headgear.

Half-sister to a useful one but showed only greenness when well beaten at Naas (6f, 200/1) on racecourse bow.
