6/1

Dawn Approach colt, dam a sister to Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune; very promising debut when staying on to finish third of 16 at Naas in September; ought to relish this marked step up in trip and holds leading claims.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

18/1

Camelot colt, cost 18,000 gns as a yearling and €100,000 as a Breeze-up purchase; dam a winner up to 1m4f and half-sister to Listed placed Ederan; suitable test for debut; tongue-tie fitted and worth a market check.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

11/2

Zoffany colt, dam placed in Group company and half-sister to a 1m5f Listed winner; should be suited by this test for debut; would probably appreciate some cut in the ground given his sire; tongue-tie on.

Form:

(8)

Monument Valley¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

4/1

Galileo colt, half-brother to Breeders' Cup Turf winner Main Sequence; promising debut here and stepped up on that when tried at this trip at Leopardstown, finishing eighth of 18; that looked a warm race and can go well again here.

Form: 9-7

(2)

Musahaba

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

14/1

Muhaarar colt, half-brother to a Group 2 winning miler, dam a Listed winning miler; well bred and interesting to see what the market makes of him here.

Form:

Serpentine^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

5/2

Showed little on debut but much better when fifth of 18 in a C&D maiden earlier this month; still looked in need of the experience that day so may progress here; particularly in first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Form: 0-5

(6)

Son Of Hypnos¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith

200/1

Well beaten on debut at Roscommon and hard to make a case for against some well bred types here.

Form: 0

(5)

Timourid¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

7/2

Promising debut; failed to progress from that at Naas in March but much better on first start since a gelding operation over C&D latest when only beaten ½L; may progress from that.

Form: 4-03

Forecasts

Serpentine (5/2), Timourid (7/2), Monument Valley (4/1), Hotspur Harry (11/2), Daylight Come (6/1), Musahaba (14/1), Eaglemont (18/1), Son Of Hypnos (200/1)

Timourid probably sets the standard on his C&D effort here earlier in the month but a chance is taken on MONUMENT VALLEY who ran on well at Leopardstown and he should progress again on just his third start. Daylight Come is another with experience and he completes the shortlist..
