1st (4)  (15/2 +63%)Ecureuil Secret |
15/2(+63%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ecureuil Secret 15/2, €22,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Brother to French 11.5f winner Great Promise. Entitled to come on for the run. Unsold for 60,000euros as a 2yo; by a top sire and worth a market check. |
|||
2nd (9)  (9/2 -50%)Thequietman |
9/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Thequietman 9/2, 105,000 gns yearling, 235,000 gns 2-y-o, Farhh gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1m-10.2f winner Phantom Flight out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) Qushchi. Likely type on paper and needs close attention in the betting. Made 235,000gns as a 2yo; sire's progeny often handle easy ground; worth a market check. |
|||
3rd (1)  (4/9 +23%)Autumn Winter |
4/9(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Autumn Winter 4/9, Promising type. Second of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 6/4), clear of rest. Off 154 days. Will take the beating. Solid efforts on both starts last year; acts on this ground and should go close. |
|||
4th (10)  (150/1 -50%)Total Look |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Total Look 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourteenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 80/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 154 days. Beaten 11l on debut but then 26l on next start; will be of more interest in handicaps. |
|||
5th (7)  (50/1 -317%)Model Approach |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Model Approach 50/1, Dawn Approach gelding. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, sister to smart 1m-10.7f winner (stayed 1¾m) Paene Magnus. Wears cheekpieces on debut, which is mildly disconcerting, but needs a market check. Decent pedigree; cheekpieces on for debut and worth checking in the market. |
|||
6th (11)  (11/2 -22%)Versatile |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Versatile 11/2, Promising sort. 14/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 6 months ago. Should progress and he has to enter calculations. Respectable debut at the Curragh over 7f; with progress likely should be more competitive. |
|||
7th (2)  (80/1 -21%)Butter Fingers |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Butter Fingers 80/1, Once-raced gelding. 33/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Will have to step up plenty to take this but should run respectably. |
|||
8th (3)  (250/1 -150%)Crest Of The Moon |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Crest Of The Moon 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, twelfth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. One of 3 representing the Gavin Cromwell yard. Beaten long distances in both starts on heavy ground too; of more interest in handicaps. |
|||
9th (6)  (250/1 -150%)Judicial Reward |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Judicial Reward 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 100/1, eighteenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy). Off 154 days. Some promise on debut but then beaten a long way on second start. |
|||
10th (8)  (100/1 -300%)Noble Andy |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Noble Andy 100/1, Tough As Nails gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f winner Azrur and winner up to 7.4f Spiceupyourlife. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat. By a sire whose progeny often handle these conditions; can run respectably. |
|||
11th (5)  (125/1 -279%)Fine Print |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fine Print 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 12 in maiden (17/2) at Naas (8f, soft). Off 176 days. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Showed some promise in two starts last year for Ger Lyons; a type for handicaps in time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Irish Derby entrant AUTUMN WINTER can get his three-year-old career off to a winning start. The twice-raced son of Galileo stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up in a big field Curragh maiden on his second run. This looks a good opportunity to get his head in front for the first time. Versatile showed ability on his sole outing as a juvenile when finishing fourth in his maiden at the Curragh. The Jessica Harrington-trained colt should be all the better for that initial experience so has to rate as one of the main threats. Fine Print, who finished mid-division in two runs for Ger Lyons last season, now starts out for John McConnell. Although his future may lie in handicaps, he does have the advantage of previous experience to call upon.
Newcomer THEQUIETMAN will need to perform to a decent level if he's to get the better of experienced colts Autumn Winter and Versatile, but the son of Farhh certainly ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the aforementioned rivals do not set an insurmountable standard. If there is confidence behind Joseph O'Brien's representative in the betting, all the better. Autumn Winter, who holds an entry in the Irish Derby, is feared most ahead of the promising Versatile.
Having shown enough ability in his two starts last year to suggest that he can win a maiden, AUTUMN WINTER is the selection.

1st (13)  (7/2 -56%)Wingspan |
7/2(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Wingspan 7/2, Dubawi filly out of Hydrangea, a winner at up to 1½m (including British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes), herself a sister to very smart Irish/Australian winner up to 1½m The United States. Lots to like on paper. Dubawi filly with a superb pedigree, the second foal out of dual Group 1 winner Hydrangea. |
|||
2nd (7)  (20/1 -208%)Nativity Square |
20/1(-208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nativity Square 20/1, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 5 in minor event (33/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Each-way shout but probably vulnerable for win purposes. No impression in a recent conditions race at Navan, official rating gives her a chance. |
|||
3rd (9)  (11/2 +95%)Riviera Queen |
11/2(+95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Riviera Queen 11/2, Once-raced filly. 80/1, twenty second of 23 in minor event at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut. Off 6 months. In rear in the Goffs Million on only start at two, Shane Foley rides the stable's newcomer. |
|||
4th (10)  (12/1 -20%)Shania |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Shania 12/1, 150,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never filly. Dam, placed at 1m, half-sister to smart 9.4f winner (stayed 1½m) Shamreen out of smart 8.5f-10.5f winner Shareen. Very much one to note in the betting. No Nay Never filly cost 150,000gns as a yearling, dam a half-sister to smart performers. |
|||
5th (8)  (13/2 -18%)Quadruple |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Quadruple 13/2, Once-raced filly. 5/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut in November. This Frankel filly is open to improvement and should have a part to play. Ran green when not beaten far in sixth at Dundalk on only start at two, should improve. |
|||
6th (4)  (25/1 -257%)It'sonlyjustbegun |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) It'sonlyjustbegun 25/1, Churchill filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Flaming Princess. Watch the betting for clues (yard also saddles Riviera Queen, who is presumably the stable second-string judged on jockey bookings). Cost 120,000gns as a yearling, half-sister to 5f Listed juvenile winner Flaming Princess. |
|||
7th (3)  (11/8 +50%)Harbour Gem |
11/8(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harbour Gem 11/8, Promising individual. First run since leaving Barry Fitzgerald when second of 9 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy, 5/2) 14 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat. Definite promise at two for Barry Fitzgerald, good start for new yard when second at Navan. |
|||
8th (2)  (16/1 -60%)Bizarre Dreams |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bizarre Dreams 16/1, Once-raced filly. 16/1, fourth of 12 in maiden at this course (7.1f, heavy) on debut, slowly away. Off 169 days. Open to improvement. Open to improvement but has plenty to find with Harbour Gem on running here last October. |
|||
9th (5)  (200/1 -203%)Jujubella |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jujubella 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, seventeenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy). Off 154 days. Soundly beaten in a maiden here and the Curragh last season, unlikely to feature. |
|||
10th (12)  (250/1 -150%)Walkswiththestars |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Walkswiththestars 250/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, last of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. Camelot filly whose dam did not show much, solid pedigree, last of 18 on Curragh debut. |
|||
11th (1)  (33/1 -340%)Accompanist |
33/1(-340%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Accompanist 33/1, €48,000 yearling, Waldgeist filly. Dam, third at 7f, closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Vocational out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 1m) Carry On Katie. Worth a second look in the betting. First foal; dam maiden, closely related to Group-placed 5f juvenile winner Vocational. |
|||
12th (6)  (250/1 -150%)Lismacbryan |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lismacbryan 250/1, Once-raced filly. 200/1, twelfth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. Raced keenly and never involved when a big price on debut at the Curragh; safe to rule out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Having finished runner-up at Naas last month on her first start for Dermot Weld, HARBOUR GEM can shed her maiden status on just her second outing for the yard. Placed on both runs for Barry Fitzgerald last term, the daughter of Zoffany shouldn't be long in gaining a first success. The Jim Bolger-trained Nativity Square is only a pound behind Harbour Gem on official ratings. The Vocalised filly faced a stiff task when only fourth in a winners' race last time but will be much more at home in these calmer waters. Wingspan, out of a dual Group 1-winning mare, has to be respected on her racecourse debut. Although she holds no fancy entries at this point, she could be one that comes to life on the track.
There's an awful lot to like about the Ballydoyle newcomer WINGSPAN on paper, for all that she doesn't hold any fancy entries at this stage. Needless to say it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour and, if so, the hint should be taken. That said, she will need to go a bit in order to lower the colours of Harbour Gem, who shaped well both starts for Barry Fitzgerald at 2 yrs and again when runner-up on recent debut for new yard at Naas. Quadruple is third on the list.
The experience gained by HARBOUR GEM may prove crucial, especially since her ability to cope with the conditions is not in question.

1st (2)  (10/1 -122%)Battle Cry |
10/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Battle Cry 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 16/1, very good 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race at Dundalk (7f). Off 6 months. Yard also saddles Samuel Colt and The Liffey. Smart form at Listed level; seems to be yard's first-string but this ground is a concern. |
|||
2nd (6)  (4/1 +20%)Samuel Colt |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Samuel Colt 4/1, Once-raced winner. One win from 1 run last year. 5/2, won 20-runner maiden at the Curragh (5.9f, heavy) on debut, forging clear. Off 159 days. Up in trip and class here but he's clearly promising. A 6f maiden winner; seemingly yard's third-string but could still be a big player. |
|||
3rd (5)  (20/1 -82%)My Mate Alfie |
20/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) My Mate Alfie 20/1, Useful gelding. 9/2, bit below form 10½ lengths fourth of 12 to Take Me To Church in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and clearly has work to do. Beaten 10l by Take Me To Church on return but is 8lb better off with that rival today. |
|||
4th (7)  (3/1 +33%)Take Me To Church |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Take Me To Church 3/1, Useful colt. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 14 days ago. Shouldn't be underestimated, despite the rise in class. Much-improved performance when running away with the Madrid Handicap; rated 101 now. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/1 -54%)The Liffey |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Liffey 10/1, One win from 1 run last year. 8/1, won 8-runner minor event at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut by neck from My Mate Alfie, not knocked about, last June. Should improve. Won a Curragh 6f maiden on sole start last June; concern that he has been absent since. |
|||
6th (4)  (16/1 -14%)Chicago Critic |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chicago Critic 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Winner at Naas in October. Third of 5 in minor event at Naas (8f, heavy, 4/1) 14 days ago. Open to improvement but this is a big ask. Respectable seasonal debut two weeks ago but will have to improve on that to score here. |
|||
7th (1)  (3/1 +25%)Atlantic Coast |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Atlantic Coast 3/1, Promising individual. Two wins from 3 runs last year. 2/1, won 6-runner Killavullan Stakes at this course (7.1f, heavy) by nose from Bright Stripes when last seen in October. Has to be taken seriously. Won a C&D Group 3 in heavy ground on final start last year and he looks a major player. |
|||
8th (3)  (6/1 -9%)Bright Stripes |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bright Stripes 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent nose second of 6 to Atlantic Coast in Killavullan Stakes (11/2) at this course (7.1f, heavy). Off 169 days. Merits consideration. Just chinned by Atlantic Coast in a C&D Group 3 final start; cheekpieces retained; player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Leopardstown Group 3 winner ATLANTIC COAST can make a winning return at a track he clearly appreciates. Successful on his racecourse debut at the Curragh last August, the colt subsequently ran a big race when third in Group 2 company at this venue. Madrid Handicap winner Take Me To Church steps up markedly in grade but shouldn't be underestimated given ground conditions. Not only has the Jack Davison-trained colt proven himself when the mud is flying, he also has the benefit of a recent run. With Ryan Moore in the saddle, Battle Cry appears the pick of the three Aidan O'Brien contenders in this race. A York maiden winner in August, the colt subsequently ran well in two outings in Listed company. He needs to improve but has plenty of scope so is certainly capable of doing so.
TAKE ME TO CHURCH looks ready for this step up in class judged on his impressive handicap debut success at Naas and he is taken to complete the four-timer. There wasn't much between Atlantic Coast and Bright Stripes in the Killavullan Stakes here during the autumn and they should be on the premises once again, while The Liffey could be the pick of the Ballydoyle trio, despite being passed over by Ryan Moore in favour of Battle Cry.
With the benefit of race-fitness, the very impressive Madrid Handicap winner TAKE ME TO CHURCH can continue his progress.

1st (1)  (9/2 +0%)A Lilac Rolla |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) A Lilac Rolla 9/2, Promising sort. Two wins from 2 runs last year. Won 11-runner minor event (5/2) at the Curragh (7f, good) last summer, proving a head too strong for subsequent Group 1 winner Opera Singer. Entered in the Irish 1000 Guineas. Ground was good when she beat the talented Opera Singer at the Curragh, heavy a concern. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +27%)Kitty Rose |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kitty Rose 4/1, Promising type. C&D winner. 2½ lengths second of 10 to Content in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft, 11/10), doing too much too soon. Off 6 months. Likely to improve. Did not quite match excellent good-ground form on soft at the Curragh on her final start. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +22%)Buttons |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Buttons 7/2, Once-raced winner. One win from 1 run last year. Won 6-runner maiden (4/6) at this course (7.1f, good) on debut. Off 10 months. Interesting that Ryan Moore partners this filly rather than her more established stablemate Cherry Blossom. Third-placed stablemate Content boosted the form of her C&D win on good ground last June. |
|||
4th (6)  (22/1 -100%)Greenfinch |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Greenfinch 22/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 5/2, won 13-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f), keeping on well. Off 158 days. The betting should indicate where he is in the pecking order in terms of the Aidan O'Brien-trained quartet. Dundalk maiden winner, not in the same league as stablemates Buttons or Cherry Blossom. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/3 +58%)Alpheratz |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Alpheratz 10/3, Thrice-raced winner. 4/1 and hooded for 1st time, ½-length second of 10 to Brilliant in Park Express Stakes at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 20 days ago, slowly away. Open to progress and she's not out of place in this line-up. Handled heavy ground on reappearance at the Curragh, shorter trip here is the main concern. |
|||
6th (12)  (14/1 -75%)Wendla |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Wendla 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 9-runner maiden at Naas (8f, heavy, 11/2) 14 days ago, comfortably. Stable having good spell and, with further improvement on the way, she's not discounted. Takes a big jump in class after a maiden win at Naas, fitness should an asset at least. |
|||
7th (4)  (10/1 -33%)Cherry Blossom |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cherry Blossom 10/1, Useful filly. 106/10, 3 lengths eighth of 12 to Big Evs in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Santa Anita (5f, firm), met some trouble. Off 156 days and hood on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. Achieved a high standard of form at two, Ryan Moore prefers the unexposed Buttons. |
|||
8th (10)  (16/1 +11%)Mysteries |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mysteries 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7 lengths ninth of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race (12/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 6 months and hood back on. Others preferred. Best run when third over C&D in a Group 3 event, disappointing at Dundalk last October. |
|||
9th (9)  (28/1 -211%)Money Dancer |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Money Dancer 28/1, Once-raced winner. Won 18-runner maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 16/1) on debut 20 days ago, driven out. Should have more to offer and she may well take this step up in class in her stride. Did well to overcome inexperience when winning at the Curragh, handled heavy ground then. |
|||
10th (5)  (18/1 -29%)Finsceal Luas |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Finsceal Luas 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 2¾ lengths third of 18 to Money Dancer in maiden (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 20 days ago, running on. Should progress but this demands a significant step forward. Fourth behind A Lilac Rolla last August, has a bit to find with Money Dancer also. |
|||
11th (11)  (66/1 -136%)Sweetest |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sweetest 66/1, Fair filly. 10/3, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f), suited by emphasis on speed, on final start of 2-y-o campaign. More exposed than some of these and she looks vulnerable. Dundalk maiden scorer on seventh start at two, the stable has two much stronger candidates. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Although Ryan Moore has sided with course and distance winner Buttons, the vastly more experienced CHERRY BLOSSOM should take beating. The No Nay Never filly should appreciate this much easier task having contested Group 1 races on her final two outings as a juvenile. Jockey bookings certainly suggest that she may need this first start since November but her prospects look strong all the same. The aforementioned Buttons must be pleasing connections at home so is high on the shortlist in this ultra competitive heat. Kitty Rose, a Listed winner at this venue last September, subsequently ran well in a Group 3 at the Curragh. Having won on her juvenile debut at Naas last term, the Natalia Lupini-trained filly is obviously a forward type.
The vote goes to A LILAC ROLLA, who made it 2-2 when narrowly getting the better of Opera Singer at the Curragh in August, form which now looks seriously good in light of the latter's subsequent exploits, which include a very impressive performance in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp. Opera Singer's stablemate Buttons, who Ryan Moore prefers to Cherry Blossom and two others from the O'Brien yard, is feared most. Kitty Rose and Wendla need considering, too.
Joe Murphy has good prospects here with ALPHERATZ who has the benefit of a run under her belt and handles heavy ground

50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dallas Star 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9 lengths third of 4 to Arabian Crown in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 33/1). Off 176 days. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Limitations exposed in this company when beaten 9l in the Zetland Stakes; lots to find. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/1 +7%)The Euphrates |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Euphrates 7/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 10-runner maiden (9/4) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy), always holding on. Off 173 days. Open to improvement for top connections but appears to be the least-fancied of the O'Brien-trained trio judged on jockey bookings. Won a 1m maiden at Gowran in heavy ground; has to find improvement but can run respectably. |
|||
3rd (3)  (8/11 +39%)Illinois |
8/11(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Illinois 8/11, Promising individual. One win from 1 run last year. 19/10, length third of 7 to Los Angeles in Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, soft) in October. Ryan Moore's pick of the Ballydoyle trio and he's a huge player. Third in a Group 1 over this trip; handles conditions and his powerful yard's first-string. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/2 +0%)Deepone |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Deepone 11/2, Career best when winning 6-runner Beresford Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft, 3/1) by 1¾ lengths from Chief Little Rock on final 2-y-o start. This won't be easy under a penalty but should make his presence felt. Won Group 2 Beresford Stakes on final start; tough task carrying a 5lb penalty for that. |
|||
5th (4)  (7/2 -75%)Ocean Of Dreams |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ocean Of Dreams 7/2, Impressive winner of a 15-runner maiden at this course (8f, heavy, 9/2) on sole 2-y-o start in October. Ryan Moore prefers Illinois but he's clearly a very promising colt. Very impressive 1m maiden winner at this track and a big run wouldn't surprise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ILLINOIS looks the pick of the Ballydoyle trio with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Rated 109 after a juvenile campaign which saw him follow up his maiden win at the Curragh with a creditable third in Group 1 company at Saint-Cloud. Given the strength in depth that Aidan O'Brien has in this division, it is surely significant that the Galileo colt makes his return in a race the yard have dominated over the years. Ocean Of Dreams couldn't have done it any easier when winning his maiden over this course last October. Stepping up in trip should bring about further improvement in the once-raced son of Fastnet Rock. The Paddy Twomey-trained Deepone has to concede 5lb to his rivals here but is a classy sort capable of running a big race.
OCEAN OF DREAMS has been passed over by Ryan Moore in favour of Illinois, but it's worth noting that two of the last four Aidan O'Brien-trained winners of this were supposedly stable second-strings. The Fastnet Rock colt was most impressive when winning his maiden here during the autumn and he gets the nod. Illinois did little wrong in his two starts as a juvenile, latterly finishing third in a French Group 1, and he is greatly respected. The penalised Deepone also has claims.
Deepone has to concede 5lb and ILLINOIS(nap) can be the one to take advantage. His third in a Group 1 last year is high-class form.

Up in trip for this handicap debut and strong claims for top yard that has won 2 of the last 4 runnings of this. Some good maiden form and has to be respected on handicap debut for his top yard. |
|||

15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Slaney Swagger 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 15 in maiden (7/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. Big jump in trip for handicap debut but has racefitness on his side. |
|||
3rd (5)  (10/1 +29%)Enthralling |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Enthralling 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 13 in nursery (10/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft). Off 6 months and improvement needed now upped in trip. Some good maiden runs but didn't go on from that after and will have to do better now. |
|||
4th (4)  (7/2 +30%)Surfers Paradise |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Surfers Paradise 7/2, Promising type. 5 lengths eighth of 19 to Gibbs Island in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 6/5). Off 6 months. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut and remains capable of better but the forecast testing conditions are cause for concern. Disappointed last start but a return to his best would see him involved; tongue-tie on. |
|||
5th (1)  (16/1 -167%)Tamrat |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tamrat 16/1, Twice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in minor event (4/1) at Listowel (8f, soft). Off 6 months. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he needs to raise his game. Won a Curragh maiden over 1m but was below that level on soft in a Killarney rated race. |
|||
6th (6)  (10/1 -25%)Mo Ghille Mar |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mo Ghille Mar 10/1, Respectable third of 9 in maiden (7/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up in trip and more will be needed if she's to open her account here. Beaten 5l in a Naas maiden over a mile; prospects of staying this trip and considered. |
|||

14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gibbs Island 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at the Curragh in September. 33/1, 16 lengths fifth of 6 to Grosvenor Square in Eyrefield Stakes at this course (9f, heavy). Off 169 days. Makes handicap debut. Gelded. Disappointing in a Group 3 at this track last time; a chance if back to his best. |
|||
8th (8)  (9/1 +0%)Masoun |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Masoun 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft). Off 178 days (gelded in the interim) and significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. One to note in the betting. Best of three maiden runs last year on good ground at the Curragh; conditions a concern. |
|||
9th (9)  (28/1 +30%)Signor Ferrari |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Signor Ferrari 28/1, 28/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly back up in trip. Something to find on form. Had no chance from 12lb out of the handicap last time; should go better today. |
|||
10th (10)  (125/1 -213%)Butterfly Bush |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Butterfly Bush 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, last of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 72 days ago. Up in trip onfFirst run for yard after leaving Miss Natalia Lupini. Needs a couple of these to falter. New yard and unproven in these conditions; 1lb out of the handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Aidan O'Brien is a trainer to fear when running lightly raced three-year-olds in handicaps. With that in mind, Irish Derby entrant CHANTILLY catches the eye here off a mark of 89. The Galileo colt reached the frame in three maidens last term but always gave the impression he would be a better horse given time. It would be no surprise to see him rated much higher come the end of the season. Top-weight Tamrat made an impressive winning debut at the Curragh last before disappointing at Listowel subsequently. That latter run was almost certainly not his true form so he remains capable of better. Masoun could be the potential dark horse having had just the three starts in maidens. He has since been gelded and now steps up in distance on his handicap debut.
This looks ripe for CHANTILLY, who was a shade below par when third in a big-field maiden at the Curragh on his latest start in November but this Galileo colt may well have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test and pitched into handicap company. Masoun failed to trouble the judge in three runs last season but he has the look of a potential improver now handicapping and, given doubts surrounding Surfers Paradise on account of the forecast conditions, he could be the main danger.
Having shown up well in two maidens before disappointing on his final start, CHANTILLY can score for his top yard.

10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Morse 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 14 in maiden (9/4) at Dundalk (8f) 53 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes handicap debut. More required. Promise in C&D maiden at two, missed last year, two fair AW runs this year, handicap debut. |

8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Perfect Poise 8/1, Third of 5 in minor event (2/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy). Off 174 days. Each-way shout. Suited by soft ground, consistent in handicaps last season, worth considering. |
|||

6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Livio Milo 6/1, 3/1, last of 6 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good), unable to sustain effort. Off 7 months. Second on four occasions before winning a maiden, in rear on his only handicap start. |

|||

17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sirjack Thomas 17/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Cork (7f, heavy) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Heavily raced seven-time winner, looked in decent shape when third at Cork eight days ago. |
|||
6th (11)  (10/1 -43%)Mogwli |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mogwli 10/1, Good second of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 14/1) 20 days ago. Visor back on. Should be in the mix. Good chance on his Curragh second, goes well for this rider and for another 10lb claimer. |
|||
7th (14)  (12/1 -50%)Sevensees |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sevensees 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Listowel (8f, soft, 33/1). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Last year's maiden form had the merit of consistency but others hold more obvious claims. |

|||

40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Limestone Red 40/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. Good seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 7/2), needing stronger gallop. Off 123 days. Back down in trip. Middle-distance winner at Dundalk, makes limited appeal on this surface or over this trip. |
|||
14th (3)  (5/1 +75%)Rhythm King |
5/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rhythm King 5/1, Latest win at Gowran in October. Below form thirteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 14/1). Off 154 days. Others more persuasive. Soundly beaten on final two starts last season after winning on heavy ground at Gowran. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
With Dylan Browne McMonagle back in the saddle, TURBULENCE catches the eye towards the foot of the weights. The former champion apprentice was also on board when the Ross O'Sullivan-trained seven-year-old finished runner-up at Naas last season. Having run a big race when fourth of 19 on his reappearance at this venue first time up in 2023, the gelding is clearly at his best in the early months. Rhythm King will absolutely relish these ground conditions as the Mark Fahey-trained four-year-old loves to get his toe in. He will be finishing better than most. Sirjack Thomas is race-fit and the Ado McGuinness-trained grey is another that should make his presence felt.
This looks wide open and it could be worth chancing TURBULENCE, who has yet to add to his maiden success back in 2021 but he is on a tempting mark judged on several pieces of subsequent handicap form. The consistent Perfect Poise will be a threat if fully tuned-up, while handicap debutant Come On The Lads, Mowgli and French import Belles Feuilles are others to consider.
The very experienced MOGWLI has helped provide valuable experience to young riders, one of whom may reap the reward now.

Latest win at Dundalk in February. 12/1, last of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 9 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Six-time winner at Dundalk, 0-15 on turf, placed only once, hard to fancy on that basis. |

Hood back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Form last season included five second placings, should be better for a Curragh run. |

50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) One Boss 50/1, Below form fifth of 14 in claimer (3/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 163 days. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. A 14-race maiden, placed six times for Jessica Harrington, seems to act on any ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STARTING MONDAY has a bit to prove now having disappointed on a couple of occasions last season but it is difficult to ignore his claims off a mark of 62. The Gillian Scott-trained seven-year-old relishes testing conditions and has run well fresh on a couple of occasions in the past. If anywhere near his best, the Ravens Pass gelding will prove a hard horse to get by in the straight. Spring Collection showed next to nothing in four starts at Dundalk but the filly looked a totally different proposition switched to turf last time. Staying on strongly to finish runner-up at Naas, the daughter of Postponed should appreciate the mile. See Me Through is a lightly raced colt capable of improving on a very promising handicap debut last time.
Having shaped really well on his handicap debut at the Curragh last month, SEE ME THROUGH makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Spring Collection took a significant step forward when just touched off at Naas recently and she will be a big threat if able to build on that. An on-song Starting Monday would be in with a serious chance, too, while Rock Etoile is also shortlisted.
If building on a much-improved performance on her turf debut at Naas a fortnight ago SPRING COLLECTION should be hard to beat

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.
