Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford| OR: 71

Failed to sustain front-running effort over 7f on course debut in October, off since and goes up to the mile on return.

Form: 655-214

Eljaammi¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M J Browne

50/1

Outsider and always in rear a fortnight ago in racecourse debut over 7f here. Goes up to the mile now but appears best watched.

Form: 0

Family Crest^p1,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Anastasia O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

8/1

Run with some promise in pair of turf maidens, cheekpieces go on and up in trip for first AW run, off track since October and has joined this yard from trainer's father at Ballydoyle.

Form: 55-6400

(10)

Fontainbleau²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M C Hussey| T: S Donohoe

20/1

An inexpensive Fastnet Rock colt, making first appearance on the track and not one to get carried away with unless the market suggests different.

Form: 09

Harbour A Secret¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Jane M Foley| OR: 75

4/1

Just the two runs on this surface and had made presence felt both times without winning, up in trip again and must be a big threat.

Form: 7-334

(8)

Remember The Days¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Well-bred Kyllachy colt looks the pick of two debutants for trainer in this race and very much one to look out for.

Form: 1442

Sir Danilo^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: F Birrane| OR: 80

3/1

Went agonisingly close over C&D on AW debut in December, may pay for forget subsequent run over 7f where not much went right and big player back over a mile.

Form: 25-3224

(6)

Varkhann¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C R King| T: Barry J Murphy

25/1

First run for this trainer, struggled on AW debut over 7f here a fortnight ago but remains much too soon to rule him out.

Form: 9-78

(9)

Woodcarver¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D M Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Connell

66/1

Didn't show much promise in a 7f maiden at this venue a fortnight ago and makes little appeal in this contest.

Form: 07470

Memorial Rose²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Smullen| T: D K Weld

3/1

Dalakhani filly is very nicely related and representing top connections for debut run is worthy of maximum respect.

Form: 5370

Forecasts

Allography (3/1), Sir Danilo (3/1), Memorial Rose (3/1), Harbour A Secret (4/1), Family Crest (8/1), Remember The Days (14/1), Fontainbleau (20/1), Varkhann (25/1), Eljaammi (50/1), Woodcarver (66/1)

Memorial Rose is sure to prove popular for this and it would be folly to underestimate her claims for a top trainer/jockey combination. Remember The Days also makes appeal on racecourse bow and looks the more appealing of two from his trainer but experience could prove a useful ally and so the vote goes to SIR DANILO. He came within a whisker over C&D on debut in December and is forgiven his subsequent outing where he stumbled and ran much too freely. Back at the mile, he can get the job done. Harbour A Secret has done little wrong on this surface in maidens and should run another good race. 1. Sir Danilo 2. Memorial Rose 3. Harbour A Secret
