Coralillo^t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: E & P Harty| OR: 100| CD

9/4

C&D maiden winner on debut. Useful effort when neck third of 10 to Treasure Trove in Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good, 16/1) 23 days ago. Obvious claims.

Form: 103

Deneuve¹²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| D

12/1

Won on Naas debut in April. 8/1, 7½ lengths last of 5 to Blackbeard in Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 121 days. Remains capable of better back from a break.

Form: 15

Executive Decision¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

12/1

Twice-raced winner. 8/1, won 14-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago, running on. Should have more to offer but this demands a fair bit more.

Form: 71

Lady Bullet^p1³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 92| D

12/1

Maiden.novice winner in the spring. Limitations seemingly exposed in Group 3 company since and she'll need to find more for cheekpieces.

Form: 1165

Ocean Jewel¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery

11/2

Looked useful when an easy winner in maiden company at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Can make her presence felt at a higher level.

Form: 61

Forecasts

Coralillo (9/4), Beauty Crescent (7/2), Ocean Jewel (11/2), Badb (15/2), Daamberdiplomat (15/2), Lady Bullet (12/1), Executive Decision (12/1), Deneuve (12/1), Match Play (33/1)

If CORALILLO is in the same form as when a close third in the Round Tower at the Curragh last month then she'll set a good standard for the rest to aim at. Ocean Jewel, the mount of Billy Lee, was impressive in maiden company last time and may pose the chief threat ahead of Deneuve, who remains capable of better back from a break.
