Arcland³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: H Rogers

100/1

Struggled in both starts so far. Drops in trip here but likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicap contests.

Ben Alexander³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: H Rogers

100/1

Well beaten in two starts to date including over an extended 1m at Galway (heavy) last month. Probably best watched at present.

Dark Endeavour³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: G Elliott

11/4

Good effort in finishing 3L fourth of 18 in a 6f maiden at Naas (good) on debut a month ago. Repeat of that should see him go close.

Form: 4

(13)

Defilade

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

10/1

Unraced home-bred son of Bated Breath out of an unraced half-sister to top class performers Sea Moon and Brian Boru among others. Represents a top yard and is one to note on debut.

Early Voice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

25/1

Unraced home-bred colt by Vocalised. Full-brother to winner Escondida and market support would be notable on his first racecourse appearance.

Esprit de Lumiere⁹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Well beaten 12th of 13 in a 7f maiden at The Curragh (good) on debut in July. Returning from a break.

4/1

Promising sixth on debut prior to being beaten 12L into eighth by a subsequent Group 1 winner at The Curragh (6f, good) in August. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 68

(12)

Imposing Supreme³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney

33/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing seventh of 18 at Naas (6f, good) last time out. Further improvement needed if he's to take this event however.

Form: 87

(15)

Irregardless³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: D Kinsella

100/1

Failed to beat a rival home in two starts so far. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Forecasts

San Andreas (11/10), Dark Endeavour (11/4), Ferretti (4/1), Defilade (10/1), The Corporal (18/1), Esprit de Lumiere (20/1), Early Voice (25/1), Imposing Supreme (33/1), Trueba (50/1), Turf Range (100/1), Ben Alexander (100/1), Morph (100/1), Live Show (100/1), Arcland (100/1), Irregardless (100/1)

DEFILADE is related to a couple of top class performers and he is taken to make a winning debut in this opening contest. The selection is taken to get the better of San Andreas who ran well when finishing fourth here on debut while Dark Endeavour is another to have run well at this venue on debut and he can finish third.
