20/1(-100%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wide With Delight 20/1, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Fighting Irish and 1m-10.4f winner Vulcan, both useful. One to note. Ten Sovereigns filly; half-sister to Group 2 winner; likeable pedigree and place claims. |

2nd (8)  (Evens -37%)National Lady |
Evens(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) National Lady Evens, Twice-raced filly. Third of 16 in maiden (9/4) at Naas (7f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Stuck to task well when third on debut and filled same spot at Naas since; sets standard. |
|||
3rd (4)  (16/1 +0%)Katie Bairdie |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Katie Bairdie 16/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut. Off 120 days. Slowly away when beaten 6l on AW; may do better at longer trip should help but needs more. |
|||
4th (5)  (6/1 -50%)Lavender Haze |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lavender Haze 6/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 6 days ago. Low-key debut but much better at Naas last week and may have needed that run. |
|||
5th (1)  (13/2 +35%)Dakota Girl |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dakota Girl 13/2, €43,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Island Native and half-sister to 2-y-o 7.5f winner La Bure. One to note. Sioux Nation filly; 43,000eur; closely related to winner at this trip; yard can ready one. |
|||
6th (9)  (100/1 -300%)Tiffany Mae |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tiffany Mae 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Twelfth of 15 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 22/1). Off 164 days. Up in trip. Minor promise on debut but not as good second time out; seemingly yard's second-string. |
|||
7th (3)  (2/1 +33%)Go Big Or Go Home |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Go Big Or Go Home 2/1, Half-sister to top-class sprinter Battaash. Twice-raced filly. 10/1, fourth of 11 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, good). Off 7 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Bryan Smart. Should progress. Half-sister to Battaash and cost 1.8m GNS but only showed very minor promise in Britain. |
|||
8th (7)  (80/1 -142%)Mama Zonia |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mama Zonia 80/1, Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to useful 12.3f winner Cycladic. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Unnefer and useful 1¼m-1½m winner Mount Popa. Magna Grecia filly; half-sister to 1m4f winner Cycladic; may need further and best watched. |
|||
9th (6)  (200/1 -100%)Lismacbryan Hill |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lismacbryan Hill 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 18 in maiden (250/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Minor promise when beaten 7l on debut but struggled at the Curragh 12 days ago. |
|||
10th (2)  (250/1 -25%)Get Your Groove On |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Get Your Groove On 250/1, Thrice-raced filly. Last of 8 in maiden (150/1) at Dundalk (7f) 45 days ago. Shown very little in three starts on AW so far and impossible to fancy here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Ger Lyons has made a good start to the season and NATIONAL LADY looks the one to beat here. The Magna Grecia filly was third on both outings last term and the form of those races has worked out very well since. Both winners, Brilliant and Kitty Rose, have taken stakes races since while there have been several other winners come out of the races. Go Big Or Go Home is an interesting rival on her first outing for Paddy Twomey. She showed some promise when fourth on both outings in England last season but probably needs to step up on that form. Dakota Girl is a newcomer worth noting for Jessica Harrington. The Sioux Nation filly is a half-sister to three winners.
NATIONAL LADY was surrounded by subsequent winners in a similar event at Naas and this looks a good opportunity on her return. Wide With Delight and Dakota Girl are a couple of newcomers to note.
It's hard to get away from NATIONAL LADY after two placed efforts as a juvenile and she sets a solid standard on form

1/20(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) One Look 1/20, €65,000 yearling, Gleneagles filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Baptism. Dam, French 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to very smart 7f-1½m winner I'm Your Man. 5/1, won 23-runner valuable sales event at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut, forging clear. Off 6 months. Exciting prospect. Brilliant debut winner of the Goffs Million in September; this should be a stroll. |
|||
2nd (1)  (12/1 +25%)Action Plan |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Action Plan 12/1, Fair gelding. First run since leaving K. R. Burke when tenth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 25/1) 22 days ago. Best form is on better ground but one of the likelier ones to chase home the favourite. |
|||
3rd (5)  (14/1 +58%)Still Rolling |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Still Rolling 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy). Off 165 days. Soundly beaten in a pair of maidens last year; could be capable of better. |
|||
4th (2)  (33/1 -136%)Edvard Grieg |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Edvard Grieg 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Stable in good early season form and has a chance of winning the race for second. |
|||
5th (4)  (50/1 +0%)Mags |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mags 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden (10/1) at Naas (5.9f, heavy) on debut. Off 167 days. Did not show a great deal on debut at Naas in October; up against it here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The exciting ONE LOOK will be a very short price in this and it would be a major shock if she was turned over. The daughter of Gleneagles looked a bit special when winning the Goffs Million on her debut at the Curragh last September. She beat a 101-rated rival in Cherry Blossom by six lengths then and the 1,000 Guineas hope faces nothing of that quality now. The 73-rated Action Plan may be the one to chase her home, although he needs to improve on his initial showing for Ger O'Leary in a Dundalk maiden just over three weeks ago. Still Rolling finished mid-division in a Gowran Park maiden when last seen in October and could pick up prize-money now.
ONE LOOK looked potentially out of the top drawer when trouncing more experienced rivals in a valuable sales event at the Curragh on debut in September and is almost impossible to oppose against this opposition. Action Plan can follow her home.
The ground might not be ideal, but this should be a stroll for leading Qipco 1000 Guineas fancy ONE LOOK

(2)  (13/8 +35%)Ringside Timing |
13/8(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ringside Timing 13/8, Dawn Approach gelding who showed promise initially in maidens last summer. Progress levelled out thereafter, well held on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m) in October. Pick of form gives him claims if subsequent 5-month break has had positive effect. No impression on his nursery debut at the Curragh in the autumn but capable of involvement. |
|||
(3)  (2/1 +27%)Uncle Albert |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Uncle Albert 2/1, Improved for step up to this trip when close-up third at the Curragh (7f, heavy) in September. Creditable fourth from revised mark next time and final start at Dundalk in October best overlooked (hampered over 1f out). Not discounted on return. Good nursery form last year; trip and ground in his favour here and likely to be a factor. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 +0%)Vangelis |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Vangelis 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 16/1). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Must find best form. Last of eight in a Fairyhouse claimer when last seen; doubts about the ground. |
|||
(4)  (15/2 -50%)Nika Pika |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nika Pika 15/2, Off the mark in a Navan maiden (1m) in August but well held next 2 starts returned to handicaps in the autumn. Market may prove a useful guide on return to action partnered by Colin Keane. Best form on better ground and has a question to answer on her return to action. |
|||
(1)  (10/1 -122%)Promo Queen |
10/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Promo Queen 10/1, Winner at the Curragh in September. 150/1, out of depth when 17¼ lengths last of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race at Dundalk (7f) in October. This rates more suitable on return to action and underfoot conditions will hold no fears. Won a soft ground Curragh nursery over this trip in September; leading contender here. |
|||
(6)  (11/1 -57%)Cool Dan |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cool Dan 11/1, Maiden who ran respectably in change of headgear when third in a Dundalk claimer (7f) earlier this month. However, well held eighth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 15 days ago. Failed to cut much ice on turf last year including on heavy; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PROMO QUEEN won a nursery on soft ground at the Curragh last September and may prove the pick in a tricky looking contest. She was outclassed when tried in stakes company on her final outing at Dundalk and this looks more her level. Ringside Timing had some nice maiden form earlier in his campaign last season, including finishing third in a decent contest at Galway, and could be a danger. Cool Dan comes here fit from the all-weather but this ground would be a bit of a concern.
A trappy 3-y-o handicap and with that in mind a chance is taken on RINGSIDE TIMING. He ended his 2-y-o campaign on a low-key note but a return to the pick of his form in maidens would make him of interest if bouncing back following 5 months off. Promo Queen and Uncle Albert head up the dangers.
The one to be on could just be UNCLE ALBERT, weighted to turn the tables with Promo Queen from the Curragh last season

(7)  (2/1 +27%)Ramiro |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ramiro 2/1, Latest win at Chester in September. Creditable second of 16 in handicap (8/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 6 days ago, no match for winner. One of the likelier types here with a repeat. 7f winner on heavy at Chester in September; 2 encouraging runs for this yard; in the mix. |
|||
(4)  (11/2 +8%)Joe Masseria |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Joe Masseria 11/2, All the better for his respective reappearance when landing this race 12 months ago. Efforts mixed thereafter but entitled to be sharper for first start for 5 months/yard debut at the Curragh (1m, heavy) and lurking on a handy mark if building on that re-united with Colin Keane. Never involved latest but won this race last year after a prep and 6lb lower this year. |
|||
(3)  (13/2 -63%)Scholarship |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Scholarship 13/2, Made a winning return in the mud at Newbury (7f) last spring and ended last season with a good second over that C&D in September. Changed hands for 31,000 gns thereafter and he's worth a second look back from 6 months off. Won over 7f on last season's return; good 2nd on final start in Britain; off 189 days. |
|||
(1)  (7/1 -40%)Simply Sideways |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Simply Sideways 7/1, Five wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Tipperary in October. Bit below form ninth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 22/1) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Should be sharper with that under her belt. Highly progressive last term; fair return at the Curragh but all her best form over 1m+. |
|||
(8)  (15/2 -7%)Sirjack Thomas |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sirjack Thomas 15/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, bit below form fourth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Can make presence felt. 2l behind Ramiro last week and 1lb lower now; form at this venue a concern though. |
|||
(5)  (17/2 +23%)Independent Expert |
17/2(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Independent Expert 17/2, 22/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, heavy), ridden over 1f out and keeping on. Has gone well fresh previously but she returns 3 b above last winning mark. Beaten 7l in this last year from 3lb lower and lacks a prep; best recent form at 1m. |
|||
(9)  (9/1 -29%)Secret Magician |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Secret Magician 9/1, Both victories to date have come at 6f but ended last year in good order, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) in November. Possible this run will be needed following 4 months off, however. Both wins on quicker ground at 6f; good run on AW latest but lilkely to need the run here. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 -33%)Coumshingaun |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Coumshingaun 12/1, 40/1, 15½ lengths ninth of 14 to Aussie Girl in listed race at the Curragh (6f, soft) in October, pushed along halfway and unable to land a blow. This more suitable back from 6 months off and the market should guide. Yet to win over this far but some good races in defeat; may be best watched on return. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -33%)Spanish Tenor |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spanish Tenor 16/1, Veteran. C&D winner. Latest win at Listowel in September. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Course winner; 1lb above last winning mark; may get uncontested lead; below form on return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RAMIRO ran well when chasing home easy winner Janoobi at Naas last weekend and can go one better. The Born To Sea gelding remains on the same mark now, he handles this ground and the trip seems ideal. He may be able to confirm form with Sirjack Thomas, who was a couple of lengths behind then and is only a pound better off. Simply Sideways was a bit keen on her return at the Curragh but didn't run too badly when finishing ninth in the Irish Lincolnshire. Wayne Hassett takes 7lb off her back and she could get closer now.
A winner in this race from a 6 lb higher mark, JOE MASSERIA shaped as if he'd come on for his return/yard debut effort at the Curragh 12 days ago and, re-united with Colin Keane, he could be worth chancing to strike. Ramiro and Scholarship both have reasons to recommend them also and are feared most.
Colin Keane won this last year on JOE MASSERIA and may do so again from a lower mark with the benefit of a recent prep run

(3)  (2/1 +64%)Yosemite Valley |
2/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Yosemite Valley 2/1, Winner at the Curragh in September. 5/4, excellent second of 5 at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 146 days ago. From a smart family that the yard know well and he could be set for a good year. Best form is very good; acts on any ground and interesting runner here back at this trip. |
|||
(10)  (11/4 +31%)You Send Me |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) You Send Me 11/4, Won 7f maiden in the mud on return last year. 28/1, below form 10¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Tahiyra in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh (8f, good) when last seen. Off 10 months. Down in trip. Connections keep the faith and interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting. Not seen since finishing sixth in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas; first try at the trip. |
|||
(1)  (3/1 +63%)Real Force |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Real Force 3/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. 5/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on return 12 days ago, cosily. Goes well fresh and suspicion is he won't back that up in this company. This is his time of the year and should be a player with trip and ground perfect for him. |
|||
(2)  (13/2 +35%)The Highway Rat |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Highway Rat 13/2, Useful gelding. Six wins from 19 Flat runs. Off 155 days. Prone to slow starts and has looked best at Dundalk. Vulnerable. Consistent sprinter and runs well fresh; every chance that he could get into the shake-up. |
|||
(11)  (10/1 +38%)She's Quality |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) She's Quality 10/1, Fairly useful filly. Evens, last of 5 at Dundalk (6f) 15 days ago, finding little. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Hard to fancy. Fell short in Group 1 company and disappointed in a Dundalk conditions two weeks ago. |
|||
(5)  (22/1 +56%)All Lies Ahead |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) All Lies Ahead 22/1, Useful mare. Off 146 days. Won in the mud first time up last season but has plenty to find on these terms. Went close in a couple of handicaps last year;up against it on her first try over the trip. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 +0%)Amazon Lady |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amazon Lady 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Won on debut last season. Creditable 4 lengths second of 7 to My Eyes Adore You in listed race at Naas (5.9f, soft, 8/1) when last seen. Off 168 days. This looks tough. Progressive; still unexposed and won first time last year; could well outrun her rating. |
|||
(7)  (25/1 +0%)Easy |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Easy 25/1, Fairly useful form, won 5f maiden here on debut in 2022, next run probably best overlooked. Back with former trainer with long absence to overcome. Back with Andy Slattery now and an interesting runner even if the ground is an unknown. |
|||
(9)  (300/1 -50%)Shaaden |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shaaden 300/1, Fair filly. 16/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 71 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Won't be opening her account in this. 55-rated handicapper and totally out of her depth here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The classy OCEAN QUEST is the one to beat here on her return to action. The Sioux Nation filly had a really good first half of the season last term before a couple of disappointing efforts at the back-end. She was impressive in Listed company first time up at Naas and ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot before adding a Group 3 contest at Naas to her CV. She sets a high standard here. Joseph O'Brien tends to do well with acquisitions from other yards and Fast Response is an interesting addition. She was a Listed winner in this kind of ground in October 2022 and was consistent in stakes company last season. You Send Me hasn't been seen since finishing sixth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last May. She had been narrowly denied in Group 3 company prior to that and is a smart sort but this drop in trip is a bit of an unknown.
OCEAN QUEST is 2-2 first time out and shouldn't be troubled by the conditions so gets the vote over Yosemite Valley and Fast Response in what looks a good listed sprint.
Preference is for OCEAN QUEST(nap), an impressive winner on this ground last year and a winner first-time out the last two seasons

Dam unraced. 12/1, third of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut 12 days ago, best work finish. Open to improvement.

MONOTONE ran on nicely on his debut at the Curragh and the benefit of a run is a big advantage at this time of year in this type of ground. The Verbal Dexterity colt finished third to Arizona Blaze in the the first two-year-old race of the season and looked like he would come forward from the outing. Adrian Murray won that first contest and he saddles two here. Amazonian Warrior looks the pick with David Egan coming over to ride. The Blue Point colt cost 165,000 euros as a yearling. Donnacha O'Brien's newcomer Irish Acclamation is another to note in the market. The Acclamation filly cost 100,000gns as a yearling and is out of a winning half-sister to champion juvenile Campanelle.
MONOTONE finished well when behind a couple of useful prospects at the Curragh on debut and can put his experience to good use up against newcomers, with Amazonian Warrior and Irish Acclamation feared most before market clues.
Having looked green when third on debut, MONOTONE appeared to be getting the hang of things late on and that experience could be vital

10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Two Stars 10/3, Promising individual. Course winner. 10/3, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Might just have needed it when a fading fourth at the Curragh; should go well. |

4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Goal Exceeded 4/1, 7/2, won 10-runner 5.9f maiden at Naas (heavy) from Take Me To Church (now rated 104) when last seen. Off 167 days. Makes handicap debut. Respected. Unexposed although does face quite a stiff task for a three-year-old against older horses. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 -43%)Stag Night |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stag Night 5/1, Latest win at Naas in October. 10/3, respectable second of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Big shout. Had a few of these behind when runner-up at the Curragh; good ride for a rookie pilot. |

(8)  (11/2 +27%)Magical Vision |
11/2(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Magical Vision 11/2, Won first time up last season. Creditable length sixth of 12 to Mickey The Steel in handicap (11/2) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 146 days ago. One to consider. Won first-time out at Naas last year; just 3lb higher now and has to be considered. |
|||
(9)  (9/1 +18%)Mount Ruapehu |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mount Ruapehu 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in January. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 7/2) 8 days ago. Should be competitive. Some encouragement from his two recent runs at Dundalk and not without a chance. |
|||
(7)  (9/1 +55%)Mehman |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mehman 9/1, 12/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) when last seen. Off 148 days. Booking of Hassett a plus. Has gone well fresh. Three-time winner over 5f at Dundalk; form on turf is not really comparable; best watched. |
|||
(3)  (12/1 -50%)Mickey The Steel |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mickey The Steel 12/1, 9/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on. Never really got into it behind Real Force at the Curragh but likely to fare better here. |

Latest win here in September. 13/2, below form twelfth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (5.9f, heavy) when last seen. Off 151 days. Others more persuasive. 11lb higher than when winning here last year but can run well fresh and not dismissed. |

Something to find on return. Ran well in defeat a few times last year; 6lb out of the handicap here and up against it. |

28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gustavus Weston 28/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy, 12/1) 12 days ago. Hood back on. Coming down the handicap but no encouragement from his Curragh run; others preferred. |

50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Never Shout Never 50/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving J. A. Stack when eleventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy, 18/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. No impression on his stable debut at the Curragh two weeks ago; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STAG NIGHT already has a good run under his belt this season and may be able to go one better now. The Tagula gelding chased home Real Force at the Curragh 12 days ago and is only a pound higher. He had a few of these rivals in behind that day and Two Stars, who made the running then before finishing fourth, could play a big role again. Goal Exceeded is an interesting contender on his return against experienced rivals. The Iffraaj colt beat Take Me To Church in a Naas maiden when last seen in October and that rival hit the headlines at the same track recently when taking the Madrid Handicap in style.
TWO STARS and Stag Night are closely matched on their running in a useful sprint handicap at the Curragh a fortnight ago and Fozzy Stack's charge is taken to come out on top with the prospect of improvement in the offing. Magical Vision won a similar contest first time up last season and is another to consider. Goal Exceeded beat Take Me To Church (now Timeform-rated 104) when last seen and has to be respected also.
Preference is for MAGICAL VISION, who handles this ground well and is only 3lb higher than when winning on debut last year

2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Shandy 2/1, €62,000 foal, 70,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Gold Award. Third of 20 in maiden (well-backed 11/2) at the Curragh (5.9f, heavy) on debut. Off 151 days. Should improve and leading claims. Ran out of steam on debut in a 6f Curragh maiden in October; shaped like 5f would suit. |
|||
(15)  (11/4 -83%)Heart Of Darkness |
11/4(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Heart Of Darkness 11/4, 50,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 5f-6f winner Just A Spark. Yard have started well and she's an appealing newcomer. Speedily-bred filly whose dam handled cut in the ground; likely to be a contender on debut. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 +72%)Betsen |
9/2(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Betsen 9/2, 50,000 gns foal, €62,000 yearling, Invincible Spirit colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 12.5f Cocktail Queen out of useful winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner) Premier Prize. Interesting newcomer. Middle distance and staying pedigree mostly; best watched on debut. |
|||
(9)  (6/1 -118%)Sturlasson |
6/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sturlasson 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 7¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Letsbefrankaboutit in Round Tower Stakes (50/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) when last seen. Off 7 months. Respected down in class. Highly tried during the summer and maiden success is attainable, especially on this ground. |
|||
(18)  (15/2 -25%)Staysound Susie |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Staysound Susie 15/2, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 4/1 and hooded for 1st time, bit below form third of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) 43 days ago. Consistent last season; ran okay in a hood on her return at Dundalk; each-way chance. |
|||
(11)  (20/1 -25%)Bright Lightening |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bright Lightening 20/1, 12,000 gns yearling, Territories filly. Half-sister to several winners, including German 1¼m winner Fast Lightning and 1m winner Passing Time. Certainly an interesting runner; stable might have a more compelling participant in Shandy. |
|||
(5)  (20/1 -233%)Jalaybee |
20/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jalaybee 20/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, soft). 168 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider on return. Placed in three early season maidens last year; cheekpieces tried; not one to dismiss. |
|||
(12)  (25/1 -108%)Emerald Harmony |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Emerald Harmony 25/1, 13,000 gns foal, 35,000 gns yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 7.4f-1¼m winner Stealth Fighter and 6f-1m winner Rex Place. Interesting newcomer. Well bred filly; quite a hot maiden to introduce her but no surprise if she made an impact. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 +38%)Martinelli |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Martinelli 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. Off 6 months. Not beaten far in the Sportsman's Challenge at Naas in September; needs this for a mark. |
|||
(7)  (33/1 +0%)Movento |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Movento 33/1, €35,000 yearling, Soldier's Call gelding. Half-brother to Italian winner up to 6f Live On Stage. Dam, maiden (stayed 11.5f), half-sister to very smart 1¼m/10.4f winner Covert Love. Mixture of speed and stamina in his pedigree and probably worth watching on debut. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -213%)Surpass And Shine |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Surpass And Shine 50/1, Thrice-raced colt. Third of 14 in maiden (28/1) at Dundalk (5f) 115 days ago. Probably goes on the ground but this is a bit hotter than he has handled so far. |
|||
(13)  (80/1 -142%)Galel |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Galel 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 6 months. Down in trip. Improvement needed. Modicum of ability in two maidens last year; needs this for a handicap mark. |
|||
(3)  (100/1 -203%)Comein Comein |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Comein Comein 100/1, Lightly-raced colt, one standout effort at 2 yrs when third at Down Royal. Off 6 months. Went quite close in a Down Royal maiden but well beaten twice since; others preferred. |
|||
(16)  (150/1 -50%)Platino Bianco |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Platino Bianco 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 6 months. Down in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Well beaten in two good maidens last year; drops back to 5f but makes little appeal. |
|||
(1)  (150/1 -355%)Akeela |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Akeela 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 10 months. Down in trip. Should come on for the run and might be one to look out for in handicaps. Has contested two maidens and ran okay both times; ground is an unknown; best watched. |
|||
(4)  (200/1 -33%)Ginormous |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ginormous 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Off 178 days. First run for yard after leaving George Scott. Well beaten in two runs for George Scott in Britain; hard to make a case for. |
|||
(14)  (200/1 -33%)Grand Citadel |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Grand Citadel 200/1, Twice-raced filly, well beaten. Off 7 months. Soundly beaten in two maidens last August; drops back to 5f but hard to fancy here. |
|||
(8)  (200/1 +0%)Star Sailor |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Star Sailor 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) 22 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Well beaten in a pair of Dundalk maidens and looks to have little chance here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The 90-rated STURLASSON can get off the mark on his return to action. The Invincible Army gelding was highly tried last season after a couple of good runner-up efforts in maiden company to start his campaign. He chased home star juvenile Bucanero Fuerte on his debut and wasn't beaten far in Listed company at HQ in August. Shandy looked like she would improve from her debut run when third to Samuel Colt at the Curragh in late October. She travelled well then but failed to get home and drops back to the minimum trip now. Paddy Twomey-trained newcomers always have to be respected in maidens and the market will be the best guide to the chances of Heart Of Darkness.
SHANDY made a promising start at the Curragh in the autumn and gets the vote with improvement likely on her return. Heart of Darkness is an appealing newcomer, while Sturlasson drops in grade and could have a race in him.
Preference is for SHANDY, who created a very nice impression on her Curragh debut in October and could find this trip to her liking

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
