Bigga Da Betta

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell

40/1

Daughter of War Command out of a Selkirk mare. Cost €26,000 as a yearling. Closely related to Nuremberg, winner over 7f as a two-year-old. Worth a check in the market for respected connections on debut appearance.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 80

6/5

Improving with her racing; beaten 2L when fourth at Roscommon (good to firm) upped to this distance on this start; capable of being in the firing line again.

Form: 64-4

Breaking News^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

14/1

Has shaped with promise in two runs; including 66-1 fourth at Naas (1m, good to yielding) last week in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Needs to improve again up in distance.

Form: 04

Half-sister to French 7½f AW 2yo winner Haafel; dam placed US 6½f-1m½f dirt/turf, half-sister to 1m2f-1m6f turf Grade 2 winner Bourbon Bay and champion Canadian filly Ginger Brew (7f-1m1f stakes inc Canadian Oaks). Represents top connections.

Magic Chegaga²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld

4/1

Didn't show a great deal on debut at Gowran Park last October, but improved significantly on that back there over 7f (good) earlier in the month. Form franked by winner and looks best of two for Dermot Weld.

Form: 7-3

Toora Loora¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

2/1

Daughter of Nathaniel out of a Mastercraftsman mare. Dam won over 1m/1m1f, including a success at 2yo; had some of these behind when 33-1 runner-up on debut at Roscommon (1m2f, good to firm) recently. Entitled to build on that.

Form: 2

Tooreen Angel¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: J A Stack

66/1

50-1 poke on debut at Roscommon (1m2f, good to firm) recently; finishing 11th behind a few of these rivals. Unlikely to turn it around but sharper for the run just the same.

Forecasts

Blackcatblackitten (6/5), Toora Loora (2/1), Magic Chegaga (4/1), Tashi (6/1), Breaking News (14/1), Hashmaa (16/1), Bigga Da Betta (40/1), Tooreen Angel (66/1)

She had a few of these behind on debut at Roscommon despite being sent off an unwanted 33-1 chance and, having finished a pleasing second there, TOORA LOORA is likely to improve for the experience and can open her account with Shane Foley taking over this evening. Magic Chegaga's promising third at Gowran Park has been boosted since and she's a danger alongside Blackcatblackitten. Newcomers Hasmaan and Bigga Da Betta – for in-form trainer Gavin Cromwell – need close inspection.
