A Good Yarn¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A A Howard

5/1

Calyx gelding. Caught the eye when sixth of 24 in 6f Curragh maiden in April. Matched that form when third to Valentino Eclipse in similar event there on return from 5-month break last time. Should be suited by the step up in trip, though market likely to prove informative on qualifying run.

Form: 63

Airborne Ranger¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Nathan Crosse| T: D Marnane

14/1

Showed only greenness when last of 12 in 7f maiden at Cork on debut. Gelded since.

Hassaniya^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 69

16/1

Fair maiden who has finished in the frame 4 times this year, posting his best effort when 2¾ lengths second of 14 to Follow Me in handicap at Punchestown in September. Possibly found race coming too soon when below form at Gowran just 4 days later, but vulnerable to improvers back in maiden company.

Form: 533020

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Kinsella

150/1

Karrygrant^b1,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 77| BF

11/8

Proving expensive to follow, finishing runner-up 5 times in 10 starts, including last 2, beaten 1¾ lengths in 9-runner maiden at Killarney on latest. First-time blinkers applied and sets the standard.

Form: 532322

Mr Mercury¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Leigh Roche| T: J Nash

150/1

Has failed to beat a rival in 3 maidens (gelded after debut).

Form: 008

Resurgence^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 80| BF

4/1

Promising when reaching the frame in maidens at the end of last summer and backed up those runs 12 months on when second of 13 in 1m maiden at Navan last month. Just matched that when sixth on handicap debut last time but clearly of interest with cheekpieces now applied reverting to maiden company.

Form: 24-26

(9)

Spider Star¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Kelly

66/1

Starman gelding. Better effort in maidens when 9½ lengths fifth of 11 to Valentino Eclipse at Curragh last time. Goes up in trip now.

Form: 05

(5)

State Of Wyoming^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

11/8

Well-bred Night of Thunder colt who stepped up on debut effort and caught the eye when 7 lengths sixth of 18 to Come What May in 1¼m maiden at Curragh last time. Open to further improvement and wears first-time visor dropped back in trip. One to consider.

Form: 06

Forecasts

Karrygrant (2/1), Resurgence (9/4), State Of Wyoming (3/1), A Good Yarn (15/2), Hassaniya (8/1), Spider Star (20/1), Airborne Ranger (33/1), Mr Mercury (50/1), Caption This (50/1), California Max (66/1), Howya Pal (100/1)

RESURGENCE went close at Navan before things failed to go to plan on handicap debut at Listowel, but he remains relatively unexposed and is taken to make the breakthrough back in maiden company in first-time cheekpieces. State of Wyoming caught the eye staying on at the Curragh a fortnight ago and may progress again in a visor, while Karrygrant sets the standard but looks vulnerable to improvers.
