Lough Cutra^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 83| BF

11/4

Figures of 232 in maidens over 7f-1m2f (soft-to-heavy/good) prior to slightly disappointing h'cap bow at Naas (1m, yielding to soft; 9-4f) this month. First-time blinkers deployed now and should be firmly in the mix.

Form: 2-324

(5)

Mosala^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 83

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden who is getting better with each start. Not beaten far when 3L fifth in 1m Curragh maiden last month. Trainer and jockey are both hitting good form so is on the shortlist.

Form: 0-55

(4)

War Leader^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 76

4/1

Full brother to the very smart Lancaster Bomber; 0-6 in maidens now and starting to look exposed following fair defeats here (6½f, good; 9-4) and at Cork (1m, good; 9-1) lately.

Form: 6627-43

Georgia Peach

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy

66/1

22,000 gns yearling; sister to 6f winner After John, closely related to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Russelliana, half-sister to three winners inc Kingarrick (7f 2yo/1m6f); dam placed 7f/1m half-sister to 1m2f Gr 1 winner Notowcato.

Forecasts

Lough Cutra (11/4), Mosala (3/1), War Leader (4/1), Emiyn (13/2), Comfort Line (9/1), El Padre (9/1), Fastnet Crown (14/1), Grizzly (33/1), Khurshed (33/1), Departmentalize (40/1), Georgia Peach (66/1), Broken Silence (80/1), Eve's Way (150/1), He Knows No Fear (250/1)

He didn't fire when fancied in a handicap at Naas recently but his prior efforts in maidens demand that LOUGH CUTRA is the form pick here. He's fitted with first-time blinkers now and it won't be a shock if he gets on the board for the Ger Lyons/Colin Keane team. Mosala, Emiyn and El Padre are respected while newcomer Fastnet Crown needs a look.
