Bengal Tiger^p1³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien

6/1

Very much in need of the experience on debut when twelfth of 19 in maiden at the Curragh (6f) in August, though made late headway. Step up in trip should suit with cheekpieces now added.

Form: 0

Bold Commander⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 80

7/1

Fifth of 8 in a strong maiden at the Curragh (6f) on debut, the third the recent winner of the National Stakes. Improved second at Bellewstown (5f) next time but hasn't progressed in 2 subsequent outings, the latest on nursery debut at Galway (7f). Still commands respect.

Form: 5255

Come On Noddy¹⁰²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: M Mulvany

250/1

Made an unpromising debut when last of 9 in maiden at Navan (5f) in June, very slowly away. Now tried up in trip after 3 months off (has been gelded).

Form: 9

Domenico Force

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

25/1

Foaled March 13. 48,000 gns yearling, Persian Force gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Yy Spirit. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Neebras. Worth a check in the betting.

Habu

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Tynan

66/1

Foaled April 21. Arizona colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Coto de Caza. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Bred to be sharp, though yard doesn't have many juvenile runners.

Moon Sand¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien

66/1

Looks to have been brought along gradually in a pair of maidens at the Curragh so far, never involved dropped back to 1m when ninth of 13 on latest outing 19 days ago.

Form: 99

Orchard Promise

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Ryan| T: D Dias

25/1

Foaled February 15. Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 5f winner Proclivity. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), closely related to smart sprinter Fighter Pilot. Watch for market clues.

Our Boy Bailey⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

17/2

Showed plenty to work on first time up when second in maiden at Roscommon (7.5f) in May. Unsuited by the drop back to 6f in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, before clearly not 100% when well held at Galway. Worth another chance to build on debut promise.

Form: 207

Sahara Ace

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness

40/1

Foaled February 28. €38,000 yearling, €70,000 2-y-o, Sands of Mali colt. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Too Hard To Hold. Dam, 6f winner, sister to useful 7f winner (stayed 9f) Berg Bahn. May just be better for this first experience.

Salt Lake²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar

4/11

Made a promising debut when second of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f) last month, collared on the line by an exciting prospect (winner has finished runner-up in the National Stakes since). The one to beat with improvement to come.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Salt Lake (4/11), Bengal Tiger (6/1), Bold Commander (7/1), Our Boy Bailey (17/2), Domenico Force (25/1), Orchard Promise (25/1), Blimey (28/1), Sahara Ace (40/1), Moon Sand (66/1), Habu (66/1), Come On Noddy (250/1), Arizona Storm (300/1)

SALT LAKE shaped well when only narrowly denied in a Curragh maiden on debut, pulling clear of the rest, and looks to hold leading claims of going one better. Our Boy Bailey has had excuses both starts since his promising debut and could be the main danger, ahead of Bold Commander.
