8/1

Five-race maiden on the AW at Dundalk ran well in defeat after missing the break on turf debut in a Limerick maiden over a similar trip. The Invincible Spirit gelding recovered to finish in midfield and will look to improve in this contest.

5/4

Colt by Frankel out of a Marju mare. Half-brother to U S 1m/1m½f winner Alsinaafy. Sixth of 17 beaten 12L on debut behind Johnny Drama - declared, 6.0 Roscommon, Monday - at Gowran Park last month. Considered with yard in good form.

33/1

Gelding by Vocalised out of a Imperial Ballet mare. Poor standard of effort in a couple of career starts at Southwell and Navan in March. Hasn't shown enough to be of interest.

Thousand Letters²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S B Kelly⁽³⁾| T: C P Donoghue

100/1

Gelding by Thousand Words out of a Danehill Dancer. Tailed off on debut at Fairyhouse last month in a 2m maiden hurdle, finishing 21st of 23 at odds of 100/1. Unlikely to be troubling the judge on Flat introduction.

12/1

Filly by Dark Angel out of a Galileo mare. Sold for €1,200 at the Goffs sale in November. Improved from debut run when finishing in midfield beaten 5½L in a Limerick 1m maiden last month. Potential improvement once again.

20/1

Hit the frame on a couple of occasions from six starts on the AW at Dundalk but has been overwhelmed in a couple of turf starts, even refusing to race at Roscommon in June. Untrustworthy in first-time blinkers.

11/2

More Than Ready filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 8.2f Salai. Looks an interesting recruit for respected connections and market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.

9/4

€15,000 yearling by Raven's Pass out of a Montjeu mare who won over 1m4f. Not disgraced but overall well held in a couple of starts last summer for trainer Martyn Meade. Worth a market check on first start for new yard.

Forecasts

Mujid (5/4), Rayita (9/4), Myth Creation (11/2), Stranagone (6/1), Make A Challenge (8/1), Hayyel (12/1), Jazz Lady (20/1), Nanning City (33/1), Thousand Letters (100/1)

Plenty to like about the debut of MUJID in a Gowran Park 1m1½f maiden last month to suggest the Frankel colt can step up to get off the mark at the second time of asking for connections. With the Dermot Weld yard in fine form at the moment the four-year-old can deliver in this contest with Dundalk stalwart, Stranagone and Rayita on debut for Fozzy Stack looking the biggest dangers.
