Anthony Of Lisbon¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien

40/1

Blackbeard colt who had missed 4 months following a low-key debut effort and he didn't appear to have learnt anything in the interim when well held in a Cork maiden (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Goes up significantly in trip now which may well see him in a better light.

Form: 50

Maximilien Luce¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

5/1

Makes plenty of appeal on paper but seemed backward when eleventh of 13 in a heavy ground C&D maiden 18 days ago, off bridle before most and left behind over 1f out. Represents leading stable and he should have more to offer now tackling 1m.

11/2

Stepped up on previous maiden starts when third in a 7f Down Royal contest in July. Found to be lame post race when a below-par fifth on nursery debut at Killarney (1m) a month later but revival possible with visor now fitted.

Foaled March 9. Cotai Glory gelding. Dam unraced. Offered little at long odds when last of 9 in a Navan maiden on debut 8 days ago.

Form: 9

The Boogeyman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin

8/1

Foaled February 4. €52,000 foal, Victor Ludorum colt. Closely related to 8.7f winner Light of Oujda, and half-brother to 9.4f-14.4f winner Devil In The Sky and winner up to 9.4f Raoule. Dam 9f winner. Yard has had a few shape well on debut this year but he'd be a surprising winner.

Woodstream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Crosse| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

Foaled April 16. Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner in Czech Republic Dantawi. Dam unraced, closely related to useful 7f/1m winner Akira. Leading yard has enjoyed success with newcomers this year and worth a close look in the market for clues.

Lunar Empress^p³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 86

1/1

Zoustar filly who took a marginal step forward from first 3 starts with cheekpieces enlisted when second of 12 in a Galway maiden (7f, soft) 37 days ago. Step up to 1m now looks firmly in her favour on that evidence and bold bid expected.

Form: 2542

Silent Promise

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness

100/1

Foaled March 19. €26,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Chet's Fancy. Dam, 5.5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 1m-1½m winner Glen Force.

Ocean Phoenix²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Powell| T: Kevin Coleman

8/1

Ulysses filly who won 8-runner barrier trial at Leopardstown in August but still proved held back by inexperience when seventh of 11 in a Listowel maiden (1m) 24 days ago, running green and not knocked about. Appeals as the type to improve with that under her belt.

Form: 7

Celestial Order

Foaled March 6. Space Traveller filly. Half-sister to US winner around 5f Sea Hunter. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Streamline.

Foaled April 30. Elzaam filly who is probably one for later on judged on her low-key debut effort at Thurles (8.3f) last week.

Form: 8

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Hassett

Lunar Empress (1/1), Maximilien Luce (5/1), Belicoso (11/2), The Captains Day (7/1), The Boogeyman (8/1), Ocean Phoenix (8/1), Rare Blend (11/1), Viola Young (14/1), Woodstream (18/1), Even Par (25/1), Celestial Order (28/1), Anthony Of Lisbon (40/1), Silent Promise (100/1), Lori Darlin (200/1), Clash (250/1), Savannah Sun (300/1), Blue Glory (300/1)

LUNAR EMPRESS improved a little on her previous exploits whilst leaving the distinct impression she's ready for the step up to this trip when second in a Galway maiden 37 days ago and she can confirm as much and get off the mark at the fifth attempt. Woodstream is an appealing newcomer from the Joseph O'Brien yard and commands a look, as does his stablemate Belicoso. Ocean Phoenix and The Captains Day are others who make each-way appeal.
