Andreas Vesalius³⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 99| C

22/1

Useful course winner. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 5 to Beauty Inspire in Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh (6.3f) in October, keeping on. Vulnerable to less exposed sorts on return.

New York City²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 108| D

6/5

Improved model this term, career best when winning 7-runner listed race at Navan (5.8f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago by length from Straight Answer, always holding on. Yard in good form and he looks sure to go well again.

Form: 2932-11

Straight Answer^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 110| BF| D

7/4

Lightly-raced winner. Creditable length second of 7 to New York City in listed race (11/8) at Navan (5.8f, good) 22 days ago, not unduly punished. Feasible to think he will come on for that run and expected to figure.

Form: 118-2

Twilight Jet¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 110

9/2

Smart colt who landed Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (5f) in October. Showed good speed for a long way despite finishing tenth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile turf final start and possibilities on return.

Elliptic^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 95

11/1

Useful filly. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good ¾-length third of 13 to Sacred Bridge in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 9 days ago.

Form: 263-343

Saliteh⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G P Halpin| T: A Murray| OR: 88| C

125/1

Fairly useful filly. Course winner. 80/1, excellent 2½ lengths fifth of 13 to Sacred Bridge in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 9 days ago. Task is to back that up now.

Forecasts

New York City (6/5), Straight Answer (7/4), Beauty Inspire (4/1), Twilight Jet (9/2), Elliptic (11/1), Andreas Vesalius (22/1), Saliteh (125/1)

NEW YORK CITY has returned an improved model this season, building on his Navan maiden victory in no uncertain terms when running out a good winner of a listed race at that venue 3 weeks ago, and he could be worth siding with to complete the hat-trick. Straight Answer, who was behind the selection on return, could well emerge next best, ahead of Twilight Jet and Beauty Inspire.
