Once-raced colt. Third of 9 in maiden (11/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Open to improvement with the benefit of experience, so may well take a hand.

Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 12 in maiden (22/1) at this course (7f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to improve markedly.

50/1

Once-raced colt. 22/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Cork (7f, good) on debut 10 days ago. May do better, but likely to be outclassed here.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Gallagher| T: E & P Harty

125/1

Once-raced colt. Ninth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) on debut 37 days ago. Likely to do better in time.

Purple Dawn¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

2/1

Promising individual. Second of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, good, 7/2) on debut 17 days ago, clear of rest. Should progress, so he's obviously the one to beat.

Form: 2

(7)

Rapidus^b¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

12/1

Twice-raced colt. 7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, third of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, good) 17 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 53

Scriptwriter²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien

11/8

Once-raced colt. Sixth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 4/1) on debut 28 days ago. Just in front of a subsequent winner that day, and there's a good deal more to come, so he's one to note.

Form: 6

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Whearty⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt

150/1

Foaled April 15. Dawn Approach gelding. Dam maiden half-sister to useful winner up to 8.4f New Magic.

Forecasts

Scriptwriter (11/8), Purple Dawn (2/1), Adonis (7/2), Explorers Way (10/1), Sissoko (10/1), Rapidus (12/1), Alighieri (16/1), J J Jumbo (50/1), Global Energy (50/1), Alfie Doodles (50/1), Mr Globalist (125/1), Gunners Dream (150/1), The Rabbit Catcher (150/1), Great Moon (200/1)

PURPLE DAWN came clear of the remainder when second at this course on debut and the fifth has gone in since, so he's an obvious choice to go one better with improvement on the cards. Scriptwriter didn't achieve quite as much as the selection first time out but could step up markedly with the benefit of experience, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of newcomer Alighieri.
