Cardinal Zin³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 80| BF

7/4

Confirmed the improvement shown second time up when fifth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip and fancied to be in the shake-up.

Form: 725

Look At The Stars⁹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D P McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien

9/4

Better for run when eighth of 14 in maiden (5/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) on debut 3 months ago, off the bridle before most. Bound to improve on that initial effort.

Form: 8

(3)

Sportingsilvermine²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: J M Sheridan| T: A B Joyce

18/1

Showed more than first time up when fourth of 10 in maiden (66/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 4 weeks ago.

Form: 04

(10)

Phoenix Princess

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: Brendan Walsh

50/1

Foaled March 31. €6,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f-7f winners Aspen Belle and Pretty Smart. Dam of little account.

Harry The Rogue⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 75

3/1

Had experience on his side and ran creditably when third of 11 in maiden (13/2) at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Obvious claims with that form working out very well (first and second won since).

Form: 523

(1)

I've Been Dreaming⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan| T: M Fahey

100/1

Well held in pair of maidens earlier in the month.

Form: 89

(4)

Magic Defense³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Horgan⁽⁷⁾| T: K Purcell

150/1

150/1, offered little when last of 13 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good) on debut just over 5 weeks ago.

Form: 0

(7)

You Done Well

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: K Purcell

33/1

Foaled March 15. Decorated Knight gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1½m Snookered. Dam 8.3f winner.

Sinbad My Dad¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey

20/1

33/1, offered something to work on when eighth of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, not unduly punished. Should progress.

Form: 8

(9)

Kilworth Kate⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Amy Jo Hayes⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

17/2

Ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth of 5 in maiden at Galway (7.1f, good to soft, 50/1) 9 days ago.

Form: 84

Forecasts

Cardinal Zin (7/4), Look At The Stars (9/4), Harry The Rogue (3/1), Kilworth Kate (17/2), Sportingsilvermine (18/1), Sinbad My Dad (20/1), You Done Well (33/1), Phoenix Princess (50/1), I've Been Dreaming (100/1), Magic Defense (150/1)

This can go to HARRY THE ROGUE, who had a pair of subsequent winners ahead of him at Bellewstown back in July and this looks a good opportunity for Andrew Slattery's charge to open his account. The main danger may emerge from Look At The Stars, who is bound to improve on his debut at Down Royal 3 months ago, with Cardinal Zin rounding off the shortlist.
