Estepona Sun³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 80

7/2

Colt by Tamayuz out of an Equiano mare. Four-race maiden, promising third of 14 beaten 3L over C&D in October on sole start on this surface. Rates a leading contender.

Form: 7345

(8)

Gold Factory¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75

5/1

Daughter of Giant's Causeway produced a career best effort when running Point Reyes to 1L over 1m here at this track last month. Appears to have every chance of going close in this company.

Form: 6062

(4)

No Days Off³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 75

5/1

No Nay Never colt, cost €105,000 as a yearling. Yet to live up to his price tag in three career starts so far. One pace on latest start over C&D in October but more is expected in this company.

Form: 537

(9)

Cap D'Antibes⁹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Murphy| OR: 74

12/1

Society Rock colt cost 72,000 gns as a yearling. Not disgraced in four career starts to date. Gives the impression we may not have seen the best of him yet as he makes polytrack debut.

Form: 4358

(13)

At War¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M A Gallagher| T: T Cooper| OR: 72

9/1

€70,000 yearling, War Command colt. Experienced six-race maiden posted a career best effort at this venue last month over 1m, finishing third of 14 beaten 1½L behind Point Reyes. Entitled to have designs on more prize money.

Form: 648063

(5)

Laurel Grove^p⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR: 72

16/1

Well related son of Zoffany is without a win in six career starts so far. Can give a good account of herself without worrying the main protagonists on polytrack debut.

Form: 425468

(6)

National Asset^p1¹⁰⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 72

10/1

Homebred by Teofilo out of useful juvenile winner Taisce Nasiunta. Not much to shout about in three career starts so far. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed on polytrack debut.

Form: 858

(15)

Chica Boom Boom³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 70

14/1

Five-race maiden not disgraced in a couple of starts over C&D including when finishing 6½L adrift of Vatican City when last seen in late October. Needs to take a further step forward to get competitive.

Form: 00036

(7)

Earls²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: E Lynam| OR: 70

13/2

Dream Ahead gelding out of a Manduro mare. Creditable efforts in three career starts to date including when running well in defeat at this track over 1m last month and likely to go well again.

Form: 667

(3)

Jm Barrie¹²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: C P Hoban| T: D Marnane| OR: 65

20/1

Sir Percy colt, cost 32,000 gns as a foal and 30,000 gns as a yearling. Mixed bag of efforts so far. Recent form unlikely to be good enough in this contest.

Form: 050

(1)

Red Beacon¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 62

20/1

Camacho colt out of a Barathea mare. Better effort on third start at this venue over 1m last month but overall form doesn't warrant support in this contest.

Form: 090

(12)

Slade Runner²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx| OR: 62

16/1

Produced a best effort in four starts on the Slade Power colt's first visit to the track over 6f last month. Worth a check in the market as post time approaches.

Form: 0605

(2)

Little Brother¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: K J Leonard| T: J Nash| OR: 60

50/1

Gale Force Ten gelding, closely related to 1m2f winner Arlecchino's Arc. Hard to make a case for on the back of a number of dismal efforts so far including on first visit to this track last month.

Form: 009

(10)

Absolute One Right¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: V C Ward| OR: 58

50/1

Gelding by Requinto. Not much to shout about in a number of career starts so far including a couple of defeats over 1m on this track last month.

Form: 008

Forecasts

Estepona Sun (7/2), Gold Factory (5/1), No Days Off (5/1), Earls (13/2), At War (9/1), National Asset (10/1), Cap D'Antibes (12/1), Chica Boom Boom (14/1), Slade Runner (16/1), Laurel Grove (16/1), Jm Barrie (20/1), Red Beacon (20/1), Shadhavar (25/1), Absolute One Right (50/1), Little Brother (50/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-yard can continue their fine record of three two-year-old winners at this track in the first two weeks of December since 2016 with GOLD FACTORY who can build on a solid second of 14 beaten 1L behind Point Reyes at this track over 1m last month. The Ger Lyons-trained Estepona Sun can improve on a promising third of 14 beaten 3L over C&D in October while the No Nay Never colt, No Days Off and the Edward Lynam-trained Earls can compete for the minor honours.
