11/4

Showed little when beaten 26L over 1m on debut in March before finishing a promising third of 20 beaten 4¾L in a Naas 6f maiden last month. Open to significant improvement.

9/2

€55,000 yearling by Zoffany out of a Pivotal mare. Yet to win but keeps hitting the frame, placing on three of his five starts on turf. Beaten a neck on latest start at Navan this month and a strong possibility first-time blinkers will assist.

8/1

Colt by Tamayuz out of a Ashkalani mare. Cost 45,000 gns as a two-year-old. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts this season at Cork and Leopardstown and deserve a change of luck.

25/1

7/1

€90,000 Kodiac filly. Dam a half-sister to a juvenile Listed winner over 6f. Promising early form has tailed off somewhat but commands respect from trainer/jockey combination in good form.

Form: 22430-0

Sonaiyla¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 73

Forecasts

Gee Rex (11/4), Sonaiyla (4/1), Hightimeyouwon (9/2), Royal Court (9/2), Rita Levi (7/1), Super Treat (8/1), Harvey Street (20/1), A Step Too Far (25/1), Independent Missy (66/1), Jensons Joy (66/1), Out On Friday (100/1), Olaf's Boy (100/1), Selaron Steps (100/1)

The Dermot Weld-trained HIGHTIMEYOUWON can get off the mark for connections at the third time of asking following a solid run at Naas last month finishing third of 20 runners over 6f. Eight-race maiden, Gee Rex ran well in defeat on his seasonal reappearance at Naas recently and can emerge as the biggest danger ahead of Rita Levi and Royal Court who deserves a change of luck in first-time blinkers.
