Morehampton²⁷

3/1

Promising type. 28/1, third of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good) on debut 27 days ago, running green before keeping on. Sure to have derived plenty from that effort and he's one to consider with progress anticipated.

Beware Of The Bear⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Crosse| T: D Marnane

100/1

Twice-raced colt. 66/1, went backwards from his debut when twelfth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) 70 days ago. Nurseries could well be more his bag moving forward.

Form: 70

Fresh Fade^h1⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 81| BF

9/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 11/10, 4¾ lengths third of 5 to Arugam Bay in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time and return to calmer waters can see him in a much better light.

Form: 3243

Synners Kid^t¹²

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

50/1

Foaled February 12. Ten Sovereigns colt. 22/1 and tongue strap on, looked badly in need of the experience when eighth of 15 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago, never nearer. Ought to do better somewhere down the line.

Form: 8

Conquering Marin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien

8/1

Foaled March 3. €70,000 yearling, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Taraj and 2-y-o 6f winner Eriskay. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Nostrum out of smart 1¼m/10.3f winner Mirror Lake. Holds a Group 1 entry and she's well worth a second look on debut.

Punica Granatum²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

11/2

€100,000 yearling, Acclamation filly. 9/2, ran to a fair level when fourth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Should have more to offer and she's one to consider for stable who took this race 12 months ago.

Form: 4

(8)

Carwyn⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

4/1

Masar colt who found the penny dropping late on and ultimately showed plenty to work on when third of 13 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.9f, good, 10/1) on debut 40 days ago, running on late. In good hands and he looks sure to progress.

Form: 3

14/1

Alkumait filly who ran to only a modest level when eighth of 14 in maiden (12/1) at Leopardstown (6.5f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Probably one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 8

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Slattery| T: J Halley

50/1

Once-raced filly. 66/1, showed plenty to work on when fifth of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (8f, good) on debut 41 days ago, running green and not knocked about. Expected to do better.

Forecasts

Morehampton (3/1), Carwyn (4/1), Punica Granatum (11/2), Aqua Bear (7/1), Conquering Marin (8/1), Askalon (8/1), Fresh Fade (9/1), Sutton Hoo (12/1), Alkutonic (14/1), Synners Kid (50/1), Soller (50/1), Lilo Pelekai (80/1), Beware Of The Bear (100/1), Zheleznaya Dama (200/1)

A number of likely improvers in opposition with MOREHAMPTON selected to emerge on top. He shaped with definite signs of promise when third in a Leopardstown maiden over slightly shorter 4 weeks ago and, well drawn to go forward here, Johnny Murtagh's colt looks to hold sound claims. Newcomer Conquering Marin is clearly held in high regard (holds Group 1 entry) and she's one to note. Carwyn, Punica Granatum and Fresh Fade are others fancied to be in the mix.
