Bennu³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Browne

40/1

Twice-raced colt who was returning from over 2 years off when eleventh of 15 in maiden at this C&D (good, 16/1) 36 days ago, racing freely and never on terms. Handicaps will be more his bag on the back of this.

Form: 0/0

Java Wood^h²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: K Smith

100/1

Thrice-raced gelding. 50/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good) 23 days ago, merely closing up late. Another who will hold more chance when tackling handicaps.

Form: 708

Astute Power^t1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: James Ryan| T: E Lynam

150/1

€11,000 yearling, Profitable gelding. Fourteenth of 15 in maiden at this C&D (good, 22/1) on debut 36 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 0

Cecco^b²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan| T: J A Stack| OR: 69

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden who not for the first time didn't see his race out when tenth of 18 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 14/1) 22 days ago, folding final 100 yds. Others more appealing back at 6f.

Form: 965040

(11)

Poweracclaim²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 75

4/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 9/2, might have needed the run after 13 weeks off when seventh of 16 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Previous efforts contained definite promise and he's worth another chance now trying sprinting for the first time.

Form: 5437

(5)

Spodo Komodo³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J Feane| OR: 68

15/2

Advertise gelding who resumed his progress when third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good, 8/1) 38 days ago, collared well inside final 1f and losing second final strides. Another holding definite claims returned to sprinting.

Form: 443

(4)

Vanity's Boy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Killian Leonard| T: Daniel Murphy

40/1

Coulsty gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Kebek Khan and 2-y-o 5f winner Due For Luck. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Lesson In Humility and useful winner up to 7f Poet's Vanity. Pedigree offers definite hope so market support behind him would need to be viewed positively.

Form:

(1)

Washington Street²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 79| BF

3/1

Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 9/4, very good second of 11 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 26 days ago, headed only late on. Big shout with a repeat returned to maiden company.

Form: 222932

Eyesforthefuture^t1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: P M Verling

300/1

Form: 0

(2)

Glory To Be^p1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: M C Grassick| OR: 68| BF

7/4

Lightly-raced filly. 6/4, respectable second of 15 in maiden at this C&D (good) 36 days ago, edged out line. Cheekpieces go on for 1st time and she's another expected to be in the shake-up.

Form: 4232

(13)

La Campanella

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Crehan⁽³⁾| T: G Keane

50/1

€2,500 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to winners, notably useful winner up to 1¼m Neat And Dandy. Dam maiden (stayed 13f).

Form:

(8)

Lunigiana²⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 77

8/1

Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 14 in maiden (5/2) at Dundalk (6f) in December. However, pick of her form as a 2-y-o gives her definite claims if ready to roll following a 9-month break.

Form: 333426-

(16)

Lynns Dash¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ryan| T: M Fahey

66/1

Twice-raced filly. Thirteenth of 17 in maiden (50/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good). Off 135 days. Down in trip and handicaps will likely see her in a better light.

Forecasts

Glory To Be (7/4), Washington Street (3/1), Poweracclaim (4/1), Ballintogher (9/2), Spodo Komodo (15/2), Lunigiana (8/1), Cecco (8/1), Harry Longabaugh (28/1), Bennu (40/1), Vanity's Boy (40/1), La Campanella (50/1), Gozo Glory (66/1), Lynns Dash (66/1), Java Wood (100/1), Astute Power (150/1), Eyesforthefuture (300/1)

WASHINGTON STREET agonisingly found only one too good for the fourth time this year in a Gowran handicap 26 days ago and it's surely only a matter of time before he goes one place better. He can deservedly open his account, possibly at the chief expense of Glory to Be who went close herself in a C&D maiden last time. Poweracclaim and the returning Lunigiana are others with definite claims, too.
