13:55 Punchestown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

JOYFUL PRINCESS was well enough held on debut at the Curragh but that form is working out well and she should improve from the experience. Out of a Coolmore-bred unplaced dam, whose sister won at Listed level, she missed the break and raced keenly in the early stages. While beaten eight lengths into fifth, the daughter of Starspangledbanner finished reasonably well with the runner-up, the fourth and eighth-placed finishers each winning subsequently. Mint Candy finished a length-and-three-parts ahead of Amangani on their Gowran meeting a fortnight ago and the pair are likely to be closely matched, as the latter was a little short of room on the inner for some of the home straight.

A fair bit of potential on show here, not least Aidan O'Brien's impeccably-bred colt MINT CANDY who is taken to build on his promising Gowran second and get off the mark. Amangani could emerge as the chief threat on the back of her debut Gowran second, although Joyful Princess, It's All Peachy and School of Athens need factoring in too.

Preference is for JOYFUL PRINCESS. The form of her Curragh maiden fifth is strong and she looks open to plenty of improvement.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

STORM PIECE has an excellent pedigree and showed good ability on debut. By the sire of Economics and out of a blue-blooded Group 1-winning dam, he contested a newcomers' maiden at the Curragh and while the form is largely unproven, the Ballydoyle-trained winner was well-touted while the eighth-horse subsequently finished runner-up. The selection looks smart and has a notable Beresford Stakes entry. Genealogy himself showed promise on Curragh debut 17 days ago and is entitled to improve plenty from that display, while his stablemate Lord Byron is from a fine Aga Khan family and is a half-brother to a multiple Group 3 winner.

Aidan O'Brien's GENEALOGY shaped well on his debut when a running-on second at the Curragh and with a fair bit of progress on the cards he makes most appeal. Ger Lyons' Storm Piece also has better days ahead of him and is next best, although well-bred Camelot newcomer Lord Byron and Galway second Starry Desert can't be discounted either in this intriguing maiden.

Runner-up to a better-fancied stablemate on debut over this trip at the Curragh, GENEALOGY(nap) can go one better today.

TRETHORN has been beaten long distances in three maiden runs but has a fine pedigree and showed some promise on his latest run. By Dubawi and out of a well-related Listed-winning dam, the selection finished behind subsequent St Leger winner Jan Brueghel on debut and all of 17 lengths behind last weekend's impressive Petingo Handicap winner Fighter and might improve in first-time cheekpieces from a manageable initial rating. Mooretown Lady has been running consistently well in useful handicaps and is dependable, while Gandolfo has been frustrating to follow but nonetheless was beaten just a short-head over this distance at Gowran a fortnight ago.

PURPLE SKY still has few miles on the clock and wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last week. She makes fair appeal. Avatar Jet and Gandolfo head the list of dangers.

The Denis Hogan yard is in decent form and SPORTINGSILVERMINE is worth a chance to break his duck down in trip.

STAR HARBOUR might ideally prefer a slightly longer distance but won over today's trip at Tipperary in August and arrives following a career-best effort when second from a rating of 105 at Dundalk. Akecheta's dam is closely related to 2000 Guineas winner Mark Of Esteem and while lightly raced, she has shown useful form. She ran well at Roscommon last time and now has a first-time tongue-tie. Gesture has been gelded since his last run and his best form to date has been achieved on the all-weather.

STAR HARBOUR holds the clear edge on form so rates a confident choice to go one better than his recen excellent Dundalk second. Roscommon runner-up Akecheta appeals as the one to chase home the selection ahead of Acotango.

It is difficult to oppose STAR HARBOUR. Though he stays 1m4f, he did win over this trip this two starts ago.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

ARD NA MARA was no match for Fighter when second in a Curragh maiden, but had 20 horses behind her and the form got a massive boost on Saturday when the winner followed up at Leopardstown. Vadali has been placed on his last three outings and got closer to the winner with each run. He is one to note up in trip. Conversely, the 82-rated Strolling drops back in trip after being beaten a neck into second at Tramore.

POWERFUL HOOK HEAD made an encouraging start to his career at Gowran and, likely to be more street-wise this time, he is taken to come out on top. Vadali has found just one too good in maidens at Limerick and Galway the last twice and should be in the thick of things once more, while Strolling is also of strong interest on the back of her near miss at Tramore. Ard Na Mara makes each-way appeal, along with Coul Dreamer.

Preference is for Jim Bolger's filly ARD NA MARA after the form of her fine effort at the Curragh was boosted at Leopardstown.

There should be upside in SHAVASI's mark of 76. She was last seen finishing third in a higher grade at Sligo. Prior to that, she shed her maiden tag at Killarney. Counterculture hacked up in a maiden at Roscommon and is one to keep on the right side of. The experienced Sli Na Ghealai is more than capable of landing a blow, while Presence goes to work at the bottom end of the handicap and shouldn't be underestimated.

This can go to PRESENCE, who ran a cracker back in handicap company at Galway last month and remains low mileage. Counterculture and Sli Na Ghealai rate the principal dangers.

A maiden winner over a mile at this track a year ago, PERFECT POISE has run well in defeat at times since and can score again.

There was plenty to like about JARVIS BROOK's stable debut second at Gowran Park. He had been off for more than 16 months and was just pipped on that first start for Paul Nolan. The bounce factor obviously comes into play, but he travelled well at Gowran which bodes well for this assignment. Harseva has shown improvement since entering handicaps and is on a mark she can go well off. Tartaraghan's runner-up effort at Down Royal reads well in the context of this race and she's noted too.

There should be more to come from JARVIS BROOK, who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut for his new yard at Gowran last month and is entitled to build on that. Harseva and Adhul should also go well.

Narrow preference is for HARSEVA. She has run very well in her first two handicaps and this slight drop in trip should suit.

Plenty in with chances in a competitive handicap. LIMESTONE RED ran well for a long way at Cork latest before finishing third and could build on that for Michael Halford and Tracey Collins. Finsceal Annie looks sure to be popular after delivering at Tipperary before just failing by a head to follow up at the same track. Prominent racer Simple Endeavour has finished second on her last couple of outings and ought to be in the mix too.

HALE BOPP has been given a chance by the handicapper and shaped well over a shorter trip at the Curragh last month. He gets the nod in the finale. Keilah and Limestone Red can also make their presence felt.

FINSCEAL ANNIE gets the nod. She was arguably a shade unlucky not to win again last time and a 5lb hike may not halt her progression.
