Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden

Zarak colt who has shown some promise in Curragh maidens 3 months apart, latterly beaten 11 lengths over 9f (heavy) there. Better to come, perhaps in handicaps over further.

Again shaped like one for the longer term when mid-field in a maiden at Punchestown (1m, good, 100/1) second time up.

Bred to be useful. No show at long odds either start. Another one for handicaps.

Starspangledbanner colt who's needed the experience in 7f maidens at the Curragh/Listowel. In top hands and may well make more impact with first-time blinkers added for this step up in trip.

Left debut form behind when 1¼-length third in first-time blinkers in a claiming maiden at Naas (1m), running on in the manner of one who'll stay further. Needs a fair bit more in a stronger race here, though.

Showed more than first time up when beaten 5½ lengths at Naas (7f, 50/1, good to soft). This may be a springboard to handicaps.

Fared little better than on debut when beaten 12 lengths at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 8 days ago.

Useful pedigree. Has finished mid-field in 7f maidens at Leopardstown/Naas. Should do better at some point, possibly in handicaps.

Has shaped like a handicap project in a couple of 7f maiden starts, sent off at 66/1 when well-held seventh in Galway maiden latest. Tongue strap now added by top yard

Fair form in a couple of starts for Mrs J. Harrington, latterly unsuited by the drop to 6f when 2¼-length sixth in a big-field Curragh maiden 7 weeks ago. First-time tongue strap added by new stable and looks one of the more likely winners stepping back up in trip.

Hasn't shown any ability in 3 starts, latterly in first-time hood at Navan (6f).

Finished runner-up in a barrier trial in May. Seemingly being brought along steadily under Rules, faring no better than her previous 2 starts when beaten 9 lengths at Cork (1m, 25/1) latest. At least worth a market check.

Improved for the step up in trip/switch to more positive tactics (set a sound gallop) when 1½ lengths third of 13 on nursery debut at Naas (1m, good to soft). Similar performance may be enough to land this ordinary maiden, even with her latest form taking a few knocks since.
