|
Won maiden at Naas in May and finished second of 5 in listed race at Tipperary (10/3) 59 days ago, kept on wearing cheekpieces. Returns to 6f which may suit better than recent 5f races.
|
Won a maiden at this course and distance in June before finishing fourth of 4 in Group 2 here (11/1) 42 days ago, slowly into stride and couldn't quicken. First-time cheekpieces worn for this easier Group 3 assignment.
|
Made a modest debut at Dundalk when fifth of 6 as even-money favourite in April. Won impressively by 8 lengths in a 28-runner maiden at this course and distance (4/1) 21 days ago. Looks potentially smart and well suited to this step up to Group 3 level.
|

Foaled April 12. $20,000 yearling, $200,000 2-y-o. Beau Liam colt. Represents a stable with a solid win rate. Dam was a US 1m winner and is a half-sister to smart US 7f-11f winner Iron Power.
|
Won a maiden and listed race this season before running respectably when sixth of 10 in Group 3 at Ascot (25/1) 35 days ago, challenging before weakening in the final half-furlong. Likely to be vulnerable in this grade.
|
Won maiden debut at Curragh before disappointing in Group 3 at Ascot, then returned to form with second in listed race at Naas. Won 7-runner listed race at Curragh (6/5) 14 days ago, showing plenty of zest before just holding on by a head. Looks capable of making an impact in this grade.
|
Won maiden at Listowel (6f) before finishing third of 7 in Listed race at Naas (5f) at 18/1, 38 days ago. Struggled in previous Group 3 attempt.

MISSION CENTRAL looked potentially smart when routing 27 rivals by 8 lengths in a maiden at this course and distance 21 days ago and can take this step up to Group 3 in his stride. Ipanema Queen is improving and showed plenty of zest when winning a listed race here last time, while Mushaffar rates a good prospect having made a winning debut over C&D 2 weeks ago.
