Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| D

20/1

Dandy Man colt out of an Hernando mare €38,000 yearling related to multiple winners, made winning start over this trip on the AW at Dundalk a fortnight ago and should improve for switch to turf.

Form: 1

(4)

Izzer⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| D

10/1

Clodovil colt, cost 11,000 gns as a yearling. Won both starts in Britain at Doncaster and Bath, both over this trip on heavy/soft. Interesting raider in pursuit of some black type for Mick Channon.

Form: 11

Offline⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Slattery| D

8/1

Home-bred son of Requinto and a half-brother to Flat winner Bert Leaf, made winning start in 5f AW maiden at Dundalk early last month. Will need to progress to double tally, should have more to offer.

Form: 1

Sergei Prokofiev²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| D

2/7

Scat Daddy colt bred for speed, a bit green and not given a hard time when denied at odds-on over 5f at Dundalk on debut, made absolutely no mistake next time out at Navan (5f, yielding to soft), this ground unlikely to hinder further progress.

Form: 21

(3)

Dandys Ocean⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

9/1

Dandy Man filly, made smooth start when taking 5f (yielding to soft) Curragh maiden nine days ago on debut. Should progress from that effort.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Sergei Prokofiev (2/7), Offline (8/1), Dandys Ocean (9/1), Izzer (10/1), Andre Amar (20/1)

Five runners over 5f with seven starts and just one defeat between them, some bubbles must burst here. SERGEI PROKOFIEV is the only of these to taste defeat but he was quite green on debut and handled with the future in mind. His next start at Navan was most impressive and, on better ground, there should be plenty more to come from this son of Scat Daddy. He'll need to be on his game though as Andre Amar and Offline have looked useful in winning at Dundalk while Mick Channon hasn't sent dual winner Izzer across to make up numbers. Once-raced filly Dandys Ocean receives weight and is entitled to make solid use of it.
