(10)

Gentility¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy

100/1

Filly by Sea The Stars out of a Pivotal mare. Faded late when tenth of 15 in a 1m maiden at Thurles when last seen, needs this run to get a handicap mark.

Form: 90-

(4)

Nuzzles¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

33/1

42.000 gns yearling. Related to plenty of winners and caught the eye when staying on from the rear in a 1m1f maiden at Leopardstown in October. Will improve, but plenty to find on bare form.

Form: 0-

(7)

Acapella Blu²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

9/1

420,000gns yearling by Dubawi out of a winning sister to Breeders' Cup Turf winner Red Rocks. Failed to live up to pedigree/price tag when well held on debut at Leopardstown recently, but ought to do better.

Form: 0

(15)

Afric¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

20/1

Half-sister to fairly useful 2m winner Newellen. Left debut form well behind when 8½L fifth of 13 to Solage in a 1m1½f maiden at Gowran last time, and type to keep progressing, for all she needs to.

Form: 05

(5)

Boughtinthedark²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery

66/1

Bred for speed, but didn't show a great deal at Fairyhouse (6f) in September, and hopes rest on longer trip bringing a sharp improvement.

Form: 0-

(9)

Fancy Feat^p1¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 82

5/1

Daughter of Rajj who improved from debut when second at Dundalk over 7f, but ran badly tried in Listed company at Navan next time, and opposable for all this represents a lesser task. Cheekpieces added now.

Form: 529-

(14)

Grace De Dieu

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley| T: T Collins

66/1

Casamento half-sister to 1¼m winner Danzay and 1m winner My Only Hope out of a maiden half-sister to high-class winner up to 1¼m Ghaiyyath. Stiff task on debut, but worth a precautionary market check.

Form:

(6)

Hamariyna²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

11/10

Sea The Moon half-sister to 6f winner Haraz. Third to Titanium Sky in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown earlier this month, finishing well from a poor position. Sure to improve markedly, and respected.

Form: 3

(2)

Invitation²²

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

7/1

Half-sister to King George winner Novellist among others. Held back by inexperience when seventh of 14 to Tarnawa in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown early this month, and is open to marked improvement with that run behind her. Shortlist material.

Form: 7

(3)

Katie Beag^t⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: J C McConnell

100/1

Lawman filly who has shown very little on either start, beating just one rival in total. No appeal here.

Form: 00

(12)

Lemon Quartz¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam

66/1

$50,000 yearling by Lemon Drop Kid, and having her third quick run having showed a modicum of ability in runs at Leopardstown and Naas. One for handicaps in all likelihood.

Form: 09

(8)

Reeking Havoc¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G M Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins

33/1

Improved from debut when 7½L seventh of 11 to Fire Fly in 7½f maiden here in August, but couldn't do any better when filling the same spot at Gowran on final 2-y-o outing. Others stronger again.

Form: 97-7

(11)

Sarah Jessica¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S B Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh

14/1

Offered something to work on when 6¾L sixth of 16 to Basic Law in a 7f maiden at Gowran recently, and should build on that in time, but others look a little stronger in this field.

Form: 6

(1)

Septimo Cielo

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy

66/1

War Command half-sister to several winners, including useful 7f-1¼m winner Miss You Too. Yard doesn't get many debutant winners, but she's hard to rule out entirely.

Form:

(13)

Simply Beautiful¹⁸

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

4/1

Galileo filly who improved from a modest debut when fifth of 15 to Lady Wannabe in a 1m½f maiden at Cork last time, and seems the type to progress again having attracted support there. One to keep in mind.

Form: 8-5

Forecasts

Hamariyna (11/10), Simply Beautiful (4/1), Fancy Feat (5/1), Invitation (7/1), Acapella Blu (9/1), Sarah Jessica (14/1), Afric (20/1), Reeking Havoc (33/1), Nuzzles (33/1), Lemon Quartz (66/1), Grace De Dieu (66/1), Boughtinthedark (66/1), Septimo Cielo (66/1), Gentility (100/1), Katie Beag (100/1)

HAMARIYNA made up eye-catching late ground at Leopardstown on debut, and could well be much better than that effort suggests. She's given the nod ahead of Aidan O'Brien's pair Simply Beautiful and Invitation.
