125/1

Colt by The Carbon Unit out of a Danehill Dancer mare. Tailed-off at very long odds on last month's debut and easy to overlook.

20/1

Home-bred Bolger-owned gelding by Pour Moi out of a Teofilo mare. Sent off 33/1 on debut but made some late progress and only likely to improve now up in trip.

50/1

By Paco Boy out of a Royal Applause gelding. Cost 32,000gns as a yearling. Unfancied and tailed-off on last month's debut and hard to fancy despite first-time blinkers.

Deep House³⁰

Kattani¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

13/8

Gelding by Tamayuz out of a Oratorio mare. Dam 1m4f winner, half-sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Katiyra and Group 3 winner over 1m4f, Kataniya. Ran on late over 6f on last month's debut. Gelded since and interesting up significantly in trip.

Form: 8

Lethal Endeavour¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

50/1

Lethal Force gelding out of a Pivotal mare. Half-brother to winners El Chapo and Lethal Lunch. Showed little in two starts last year and remains one to watch.

Form: 00-

Lightsider²¹⁸

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

9/2

€18,000 yearling by St Leger and Gold Cup winner Leading Light out of a 6f winner at two. Outran his long odds when short of room and an eye-catching fifth over a mile on last year's debut. Needs a test of stamina so only likely to improve.

Form: 5-

(15)

Luclator

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

100/1

Son of Foxwedge gelded ahead of debut. Cost 7,000gns as a foal and €8,000 as a yearling. Starts life at a realistic trip but one to watch on debut.

Marshall Law⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 77

4/1

Bated Breath colt, cost €26,000 as a foal and 72,000gns as a yearling. Improved with each of three starts last year but below that on AW debut in February. Chance on best form but step up in trip a query.

Form: 063-4

Nickajack Cave

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

25/1

Son of Kendargent and a first foal who cost £65,000 as a yearling. Gelded ahead of debut and likely to need a much stiffer test of stamina in time.

Nobel Joshua⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L F Roche| T: D Hogan

125/1

Gelded son of Joshua Tree out of a Daylami mare. Sent off long odds and always out the back on last month's debut. Easy to dismiss.

Form: 0

Patriot's Day²⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon

14/1

€30,000 yearling caught the eye with late progress on debut and then third behind subsequent Group 1 second Broome. Looked the type to improve with time and experience so of definite interest on season debut.

Form: 53-

(17)

Top Line Tommy¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

7/1

Gelded son of Morpheus out of a Redback mare cost €46,000 as a foal. Showed promise from a poor draw on sole start last year and looks likely to improve. Rates as one of the more likely types.

Form: 5-

(16)

Tremwedge

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G P Halpin| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden

20/1

Foxwedge gelding cost 7,000gns as a yearling and €50,000 as a juvenile; half-brother to three winners including Group placed Landshark. Market the best guide on debut.

Light Breeze

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: J P O'Brien

25/1

Daughter of Es Que Love and bred to be suited by this sort of trip on debut. Respected for connections but stable yet to fire although market support would be interesting.

Red Sole Diva⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien

20/1

Filly by Dylan Thomas out of a Alzao mare. Half-sister to Italian 1m winner. Shaped well enough on Dundalk debut and should improve up in trip. May find one or two good again though.

Forecasts

Kattani (13/8), Marshall Law (4/1), Lightsider (9/2), Top Line Tommy (7/1), Patriot's Day (14/1), Red Sole Diva (20/1), Clemencia (20/1), Tremwedge (20/1), Nickajack Cave (25/1), Light Breeze (25/1), Hurricane Cliff (25/1), Bar Room Bore (50/1), Lethal Endeavour (50/1), Convexity (50/1), Luclator (100/1), Nobel Joshua (125/1), Deep House (125/1), Born Fighting (125/1)

Kattani made late progress over an inadequate trip on debut and now gets to a suitable distance for an in-form leading stable. Lightsider was unfancied on debut but did well despite being short of room and is also interesting up in distance. Preference though is for PATRIOT'S DAY who ran into a top-class type on his second start last year and has looked like a longer term prospect.
