Social Bandit³⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: T Doyle

50/1

Has shown relatively little in two starts on the Flat last June well beaten and never a factor on both occasions. Looks a tall order on seasonal debut.

Form: 68-

A Smooth Criminal¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Mullins

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C P Hoban| T: T Doyle

50/1

By Sir Prancealot out of an Hernando mare related to Stormy Clouds, Sir Dancealot and recent Southwell winner Cococabala. Disappointing on debut on the AW at Dundalk in December. More needed.

Stoic Soul^v¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: K J Condon| OR: 72

Has produced a bunch of moderate displays so far though his finishing positions in the conditions puts him in the mix in this company.

Tahan³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

66/1

Well beaten in three starts last term and tailed off in Cork maiden in March on return, facing a mammoth task to be involved in the finish of this.

Form: 400-8

Summer's Dream¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: T Doyle| OR: 65

8/1

Not disgraced on debut at Naas and improved to be 3¾L fifth at Gowran Park next time out in October. Weakened in final furlong on handicap debut last month but likely more to come in this company.

Form: 858-4

Timiniya³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: D K Weld

4/5

Forecasts

Timiniya (4/5), A Smooth Criminal (11/4), Stoic Soul (6/1), Summer's Dream (8/1), Sir Popple (50/1), Social Bandit (50/1), Tahan (66/1)

The home-bred Aga Khan-owned TIMINIYA is likely to improve on his debut run at Naas over 1m on soft to heavy ground in March when finishing fifth of 15. The Dermot Weld-trained filly may face stiff opposition from promising Clodovil colt, A Smooth Criminal who caught the eye finishing 3L adrift of Ger Lyons' Future Proof on seasonal debut at Leopardstown. Stoic Soul has already shown a likely for these conditions and can follow the market leaders home.
