New Energy¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 112| BF| D

5/2

Smart colt. 5/4, 4 lengths fourth of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. This is a slight drop in class and he's a major player on these terms.

Villanova Queen¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S T McCullagh| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 100| D

25/1

Useful form when making winning reappearance in April. 10½ lengths last of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes (9/2) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Merits consideration away from the mud back down in trip.

Forecasts

New Energy (5/2), Mutasarref (7/2), Panic Alarm (9/2), Lord Massusus (5/1), Sharlouk (6/1), Yerwanthere (13/2), Cosmic Vega (14/1), Monaasib (16/1), Villanova Queen (25/1), Smile Of Love (28/1), American Kestrel (33/1), La Dolce Vita (50/1)

LORD MASSUSUS produced a performance verging on smart when a cosy winning of a handicap a fortnight ago despite a less-than-ideal run and he can take the step up to listed company in his stride. New Energy is a big threat, along with unbeaten filly Yerwanthere and Villlanova Queen on drying ground.
