Form:

(15)

Seamus Darby^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: M J Smith

6/1

Modest form at best in bumpers/over hurdles and he could only run to a similar level when 18 lengths sixth of 14 in a 12f maiden here in November.

Form: 6

Ballybaun Star⁵⁷

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

80/1

Once-raced colt. Last of 13 in maiden (100/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) on debut 57 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

(2)

Ferdowsi³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M A Gallagher| T: W M Roper

150/1

Once-raced gelding. Ninth of 14 in maiden (80/1) at this course (8f) on debut 35 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 9

(7)

Kushkame²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Slattery⁽³⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 73

7/1

Thrice-raced colt. 12/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, heavy) 28 days ago. Has essentially gone the wrong way from his debut effort and bounce back called for.

Form: 268

(13)

Palace Rock²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Karen Kenny⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey

28/1

Once-raced gelding. 50/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Naas (6f, heavy) on debut 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip now but he looks one for the longer term.

Form: 8

(10)

Port Lockroy⁴⁵⁷

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

3/1

Once-raced gelding. Last of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft, 25/1) on debut back in September 2019. Gelded ahead of his belated return/yard debut and the market should guide.

Form: 0-

(5)

Unforgetable Colt¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: D English

50/1

Once-raced gelding. Tongue strap on, last of 16 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 40/1) on debut. Off 137 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer.

Fahee^b1⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Sam Ewing⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin

200/1

Making GB/IRE Flat debut. 66/1, fifteenth of 17 in bumper at Punchestown (16.1f, soft) on NH debut 52 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Hard to make a solid case for on that evidence.

Tower Of Pisa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Crosse| T: J P O'Brien

10/11

Promising sort. 10/1, fourth of 13 in maiden over 1m here on debut 14 days ago, taking time to get going. Step up to 1¼m promises to be within range and high on shortlist in an ordinary affair.

Form: 4

(14)

True Dreamer

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Melanie Horsman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: B A Murphy

125/1

Baltic King filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 10.3f winner Zaina and 5f/6f winner Ucanchoose. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 11.4f.

Forecasts

Tower Of Pisa (10/11), Port Lockroy (3/1), Seamus Darby (6/1), Kushkame (7/1), Quamino (8/1), Early Strike (14/1), Palace Rock (28/1), Sand And Water (28/1), Unforgetable Colt (50/1), How You Keeping (66/1), Ballybaun Star (80/1), Queen Emily (100/1), True Dreamer (125/1), Ferdowsi (150/1), Fahee (200/1)

TOWER OF PISA attracted support and showed plenty to work on when fourth in a 1m maiden here 2 weeks ago, taking time to get going but keeping on late. The step up to 1¼m rates a likely plus and she earns the vote with the prospect of more to come. Useful jumps winner Quamino may pose the chief threat, ahead of Kushkame and Port Lockroy.
