Cadamosto³⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 104

4/1

Won Dundalk maiden in good style on debut prior to excellent fourth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Failed to repeat that effort in the Railway Stakes at the Curragh on final outing but he's the type to do better this year.

Form: 147-

Furnace Creek²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan| T: J M Barrett

66/1

Ran to a fairly useful level first time up when second of 15 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 7/1) 27 days ago. Needs to step up on that considerably to make an impact at this level.

Form: 2

(7)

King Of Bavaria¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 105| D

7/2

Looked potentially smart in following up his maiden success on nursery debut at Naas (5.9f, heavy) in October. Will go on improving and leading claims.

Form: 11-

New York City²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 101| C

5/1

Useful colt who got off the mark with ease after 5 months off in 9-runner maiden (2/9) at this course (5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, plenty in hand. Back up in grade and not ruled out.

Straight Answer^t¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 111| D

11/8

Won first 2 starts in 2021, namely maiden at the Curragh and listed event at Fairyhouse. Disappointing in the Dewhurst on final outing but well worth another chance.

Form: 118-

Thunder Eclipse¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Slattery| T: J A Stack| OR: 95| D

40/1

Fairly useful colt who was below form when 10¼ lengths eighth of 16 to King of Bavaria in nursery (8/1) at Naas (5.9f, heavy), not ideally placed. Off 174 days. Difficult ask.

Red Lacewing²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: J A Stack| OR: 95

8/1

Lightly-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 9/2, excellent length second of 10 to Drombeg Banner in handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Straight Answer (11/8), King Of Bavaria (7/2), Cadamosto (4/1), New York City (5/1), Red Lacewing (8/1), Drombeg Banner (12/1), Thunder Eclipse (40/1), Furnace Creek (66/1)

KING OF BAVARIA looked a smart colt in the making when landing a nursery at Naas in October and can take this step up in grade in his stride. Straight Answer disappointed in the Dewhurst when last seen, but given the good impression he'd created in winning his first 2 starts, he has to be worth another chance. Cadamosto also strikes as the type to do better as a 3-y-o and merits consideration.
