Navassa Island^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 94

25/1

Fairly useful filly. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, 5¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Sky Majesty in Ballyogan Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 43-5049

Realtin Fantasy^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Robert Whearty| T: W P Browne| OR: 50| CD

250/1

Modest mare. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/1) 23 days ago. Faces a very stiff task.

Form: 9-00252

Billie Be Quick^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Keithen Kennedy| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 81| D

33/1

Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 24 days ago. This demands another big step forward however.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Powell| T: J Feane

14/1

Debut Curragh maiden winner last September and she advanced form when second of 5 in minor event (9/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 67 days ago. Should have more to offer. Well in the mix.

Songhai^p1,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 98

9/4

Progressive filly who didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when 1½ lengths third of 12 to Miss Attitude in listed race at Deauville (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sure to go well again.

Form: 232633

22/1

Fairly useful filly. 4/6, won 8-runner maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago, always holding on. Stable having good spell but this is no easy ask.

Forecasts

Two Stars (2/1), Songhai (9/4), Powerful Nation (10/3), King Cuan (5/1), Grande Marques (8/1), Valiant Force (10/1), Bounty (11/1), Erosandpsyche (12/1), Fregada (14/1), Fandom (16/1), Stella Alpina (22/1), Navassa Island (25/1), Billie Be Quick (33/1), Harry's Hill (50/1), Realtin Fantasy (250/1)

A cracking listed sprint which could go the way of the improving SONGHAI, who didn't enjoy the best of runs when an excellent third in similar company at Deauville and can gain an overdue second success now. Several others make lots of appeal, headed by the smart handicapper Valiant Force who rates a big danger. Fregada has more to offer after just two runs and can also have a say, while the returning duo Two Stars and Bounty shouldn't be dismissed easily either.
