9/2

155,000 gns foal, 300,000 gns yearling, Blackbeard colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 5f/6f winner Beckford. Looked very green behind Folsom Blues on debut at Gowran (7f, 10/3) in June. Inexperienced jockey up.

Bold Commander^b1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 78

11/4

Fifth in strong 6f maiden at the Curragh on debut, and although he hasn't progressed, this looks an ordinary contest and he's certainly one of the main contenders if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.

Form: 52555

El Domino²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 75

4/1

Made more impact than previously when held in third in 6f maiden here 3 weeks ago, not knocked about having again taken a keen hold. Needs another step forward.

Form: 603

(2)

Habu¹²

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

200/1

Yard knows this family well but he showed only greenness in 6f Naas maiden on debut a fortnight ago and will probably need more time.

Form: 0

Lion Of Fortune^p1⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: K P Cotter

14/1

Probably needed the run on debut at the Curragh (6f) 6 weeks ago and should last longer this time. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 0

Sonny Hayes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar

9/2

Foaled March 19. 175,000 gns foal, Blue Point colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Nidhaal. Makes plenty of appeal on paper starting out in a thin maiden.

Spirit Of The Nite¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt

28/1

Made an encouraging start when running on late to fill second spot in a Down Royal maiden (5f) at the start of the month. May have found next race at Dundalk coming too soon just a fortnight on and faces a similar turnaround now.

Form: 20

Alfresco^t1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

11/4

€250,000 No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart 1m-1¼m winner Prague. Little impact in 6f Naas maidens and looks one for handicaps over further next year. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 76

Sorrento Sunset²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jamie Powell| T: Daniel McLoughlin

125/1

Showed a bit more than on debut when mid-field at Down Royal and looks one for handicaps.

Forecasts

Alfresco (11/4), Bold Commander (11/4), El Domino (4/1), Sonny Hayes (9/2), Anthony Of Lisbon (9/2), Sapphire Sun (8/1), Lion Of Fortune (14/1), Spirit Of The Nite (28/1), Sorrento Sunset (125/1), Lolapipa (200/1), Habu (200/1), Imply (500/1), Bettercalltheboss (500/1)

Not a strong maiden and it would be no surprise to see BOLD COMMANDER leave behind a couple of lesser efforts and get off the mark now fitted with blinkers. Sonny Hayes is an interesting newcomer, while Sapphire Sun could do better if settling down.
