With Caution¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tate| OR: 80| CD

6/5

Has already bagged two similar contests and has been impressive on both occasions. She has clocked modest speed figures and she should be vulnerable under a double penalty, but the opposition lacks depth in quality.

Form: 11

(6)

Inverarity^p1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: Frank Bishop

100/1

Half-brother to winners including fairly useful AW winner Tangramm. Has only beaten one home in both starts and hard to see cheekpieces being able to compensate.

Form: 76

(3)

Pass The Vino⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: P W D'Arcy

9/4

His first two runs in Ireland indicate he will take all the beating here as he should have a rating of about 80, the same mark as With Caution from whom he receive 9lb. Finished lame before joining new yard for 20,000 gns and has been gelded since.

Form: 3-37

(1)

Puzzle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

12/1

A Paco Boy gelding out of a half-sister to 1m2f Listed race winner Diploma. Slowly away on debut when looking in real need of the experience but acquitted himself well. Will need further in time

Form: 6

(7)

Sharrabang¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

100/1

By Coach House out of a Dubawi mare who cut little ice in bumpers. Likely to be one of the outsiders as he bids to improve on a moderate debut display.

Form: 6

(5)

Plumette¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Fahey| BF

5/1

Belied odds of 25/1 on debut before finding one too good when an odds-on favourite. This looks harder than either of those races but she does at least get a generous allowance.

Form: 22

(8)

Polaris Angel

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford

50/1

Lethal Force half-sister to a couple of 7f winners. Stable not usually associated with debut winners and she has been dealt a modest draw.

Form:

(4)

Sea Storm

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade

7/1

Full-sister to the owner's useful 7f-1m handicapper Alfred Hutchinson who has eight AW victories to his name. In the care of a trainer who can ready one first time so worth checking in the market.

Forecasts

With Caution (6/5), Pass The Vino (9/4), Plumette (5/1), Sea Storm (7/1), Puzzle (12/1), Polaris Angel (50/1), Inverarity (100/1), Sharrabang (100/1)

With Caution has won both starts yet has only achieved an official rating of 80 which should make her vulnerable under her double penalty. Pass The Vino undoubtedly achieved more on his first two starts in Ireland before finishing lame on his last outing for his former yard. Any positivity in the market would be worth heeding, but for now PLUMETTE looks a safer option. The filly ran to a mark of about 70 on her debut before appearing to find 7f too far last time and she can take advantage of the weight she receives. Sea Storm represents a good yard and is another to check in the market, but Puzzle is going to need further before he starts to blossom.
