Fastfix Quay Celtic 60th Anniversary Nursery Handicap

2YO only | 5f | 10 Runners | Polytrack

(4)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 80| D

Built on debut promise when winning a 5f Bellewstown maiden in July. Down the field in listed races next 2 starts, before helping to force the pace when well held in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f) last time. Worth another chance back down in trip for all-weather debut.

Premier View^t²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam Grant⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 80| D

Having been gelded and fitted with tongue strap, left debut form behind when winning a Down Royal maiden (5f) in September. Followed up in nursery over the same C&D and looks to hold strong claims with better still to come.

Form: 811

Lake Lugano^b⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 78

Improved form fitted with blinkers last 2 starts, runner-up on nursery debut at this course (7f) a week ago. Looked in control entering final 1f before caught close home last time, so he could make a bold bid dropped in trip.

Form: 0532

Katty¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A Sexton| OR: 76

Some encouragement on debut and bettered that form next 2 starts, third of 13 in maiden at the Curragh last month (the winner runner-up in listed race next time). Reported to be in season when well held at Naas 12 days ago, so she could bounce back on nursery bow.

Form: 8839

Cyclone Code²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: S Cavanagh| OR: 74

On the back of a gelding operation, showed more than on first 2 starts when third in maiden at Navan (5f) early last month. However, was well-beaten fourth of 6 on nursery debut at Cork (6f) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive now tried on all-weather.

Form: 66344

Belle Island⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 70

Placed over this C&D on first 2 starts in the spring but has struggled on turf since, back in maiden company when well held at Navan (6f) last month. Needs return to all-weather to help spark a revival.

Form: 360680

Cat Blade¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 69

Showed more than first time up when eighth of 12 in maiden at this course (6f) in September. However, failed to repeat that effort when last of 14 here (7f) 2 weeks ago. Has work to as he makes nursery debut.

Form: 080

The Drambling Man^p¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁵⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 63

Benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces when 1¼ lengths third of 14 to Santo Parvenue in nursery at Naas (5f) last month. Encouragingly backed that up when making the frame at Navan (6f) 16 days ago. Now switches to all-weather for first time.

Form: 969034

(5)

Santo Parvenue^b¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: E & P Harty| OR: 58| D

Gelded and much improved in blinkers when winning 5f nursery at Naas in September. Good third of 6 behind Premier View at Down Royal next time, before running respectably without the headgear when mid-field at Navan (6f) 16 days ago. Blinkers reapplied back down in trip.

Form: 447135

(7)

Syrah^h²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Weld| OR: 55

Offered a bit more than in her 3 starts in maidens when 5½ lengths fourth of 6 to Premier View in nursery at Down Royal 25 days ago. Looks to face a difficult task here, though, racing from out of the weights on all-weather debut.

Form: 0854

Forecasts

Premier View (9/4), Lake Lugano (7/2), Santo Parvenue (6/1), Syrah (8/1), April Mist (8/1), Katty (8/1), The Drambling Man (8/1), Cyclone Code (16/1), Cat Blade (33/1), Belle Island (50/1)

PREMIER VIEW has proved a different proposition fitted with a tongue strap dropped to 5f, recording back-to-back wins at Down Royal, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. The main danger could be Lake Lugano, who has shaped as if worth a try over this shorter trip, ahead of April Mist.
