66/1

Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 11 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Down in trip and he's opposable.

You Are The Deal²⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: S T McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: L Comer

250/1

Once-raced colt. 150/1, last of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) on debut. Off 8 months and he's hard to warm to.

Casapulla¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: P Cluskey

300/1

Twice-raced gelding. First run since leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty when last of 7 in maiden (300/1) at Cork (12.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he makes very little appeal.

Form: 0-7

(2)

Chicago Fireball³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 86

2/1

Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Respectable third of 14 in maiden (17/2) at Dundalk (7f) 33 days ago, clear of rest. Gelded since and he's the one to beat.

Form: 33965-3

25/1

€21,000 foal, Teofilo gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 12.5f Time Shanakill and useful winner up to 1m The Gatekeeper. Entitled to come on for the run.

15/8

Twice-raced colt. 2/1, ninth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs considering.

100/1

Once-raced gelding. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, heavy, 22/1) on debut 18 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if he's to make an impact here.

Form: 0

Storm Tracker¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A C Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: Liam G O'brien

250/1

Twice-raced gelding. First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when last of 8 in maiden (200/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0-8

Vadali²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford & T Collins

4/1

Promising sort. Sixth of 10 in maiden (33/1) at this course (8.3f, heavy) on debut, not knocked about. Off 6 months. Open to progress and he's one to consider.

Form: 6-

10/1

€18,000 yearling, Belardo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 7.5f Clever And Cool and 6f winner Focus On Heaven. Will be of interest if the market speaks in her favour.

Melkorka

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J F O'Shea

150/1

Tough As Nails filly. Dam maiden (stayed 11.5f). Probably best watched on debut.

5/1

$60,000 yearling, Caravaggio filly. Half-sister to useful 1m winner Pink Sorrel. Dam 2-y-o 8.6f winner who stayed 1¾m. One to note in the betting.

Forecasts

No Knee Never (15/8), Chicago Fireball (2/1), Vadali (4/1), Pink Oxalis (5/1), Clever And Cute (10/1), Liffeydale Spirit (25/1), Superbolt (66/1), Calzaghi (80/1), Noble Nation (100/1), Melkorka (150/1), Applejack Poet (200/1), You Are The Deal (250/1), Barrogstown Girl (250/1), Noble Andy (250/1), Storm Tracker (250/1), Casapulla (300/1)

The form of the maiden in which VADALI was a promising sixth here on his sole 2-y-o start is working out pretty well and, with improvement on the cards, this well-bred colt is taken to strike. Chicago Fireball put in a good shift when placed on the all-weather on his reappearance last month and he is an obvious danger, while No Knee Never and newcomers Clever And Cute and Pink Oxalis are others to consider.
