Selected odds by:
Once-raced maiden. 18/1, last of 9 in bumper at Naas (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 26 days ago.
|
Once-raced maiden. Second of 6 in bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy, 11/2) on NH debut 96 days ago. Place possibilities.
|
Almanzor gelding. Half-brother to French 1¼m-1½m winner Triptajika. Dam 1¾m winner in . Wears tongue strap. Entitled to come on for the run.
|
€50,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Lady Bresil. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Coney Island. Watch the betting for clues.
|
Walk In The Park gelding. Dam 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Successful sole start between the flags in February and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
|
€110,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pettifour. One to note in the betting.
|
Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good, 50/1) on NH debut 45 days ago.
|
Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Maclaine and fair hurdler Regal Renaissance, stays 3m. Lots to like on paper and the market will be revealing.
|
€6,000 3-y-o, Feel Like Dancing gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 15f on Flat. Likely to come on for the run.
|
Gregorian gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including hurdler modest Pepper Street. Dam, 11.7f winner, half-sister to useful hurdler around 2m Cormier. Market should point the way.
|
Famous Name gelding. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1¼m). Probably best watched on debut.
|
Once-raced maiden. 13/8, third of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good) on NH debut 45 days ago. One to consider.
|
Jukebox Jury gelding. Brother to useful hurdler Nordano, stays 23f, and half-brother to 5 winners on Flat. Dam 11f winner. Probably best watched this time.
|
Dragon Pulse gelding. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Winterfeel. Dam unraced.
|
Victory Song gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including high-class chaser Funambule Sivola and French 2m hurdle winner Illiade de Sivola. Dam placed on Flat in .
|
Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Makes bumpers debut.
|
Belardo colt. Dam, ran twice on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Bajan Excell. Others make more appeal.
|
€62,000 3-y-o, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to fair but unreliable hurdler Saturn 'N Silk. Well beaten by the winner when second on recent introduction in a maiden point.
|
Capri gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Breakeven and fairly useful hurdler Big Penny. Probably more one for the longer-term.
|
Promising individual. 2¼ lengths second of 10 to Light Up The Dark in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, soft, 9/2) on NH debut 37 days ago. May well do better.

|
Promising type. 22/1, fourth of 11 in bumper at Navan (16f, soft) on NH debut 38 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should improve.
|
Promising sort. 7/4, second of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good) on NH debut 45 days ago. Likely to improve and should make her presence felt.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, 7 lengths fourth of 10 to Light Up The Dark in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, soft) 37 days ago. Held by Starting Fifteen on that evidence.

STARTING FIFTEEN shaped with plenty of promise when chasing home a useful-looking type (who had the benefit of previous experience) on his debut in a listed bumper at Limerick last month. Eric McNamara's charge is taken to go one better, perhaps at the chief expense of Eagle of Destiny, who also made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Thurles. Point winner Bud Fox is respected for last year's winning yard, while Barley Lane, Buddy Holly and Coutach are likely-looking newcomers.
