9st 9lb |
Made 125,000gns at the breeeze-ups; second to Chicago Pope here on debut, went one better at Navan with odds-on Ocean's Breath only fourth; big drifter in market when poor at Cork on comeback, but capable of much better; has only encountered easy ground thus far. |

By a leading sire, especially of sprinters; both runs over 6f last year; improved from his narrow Naas debut defeat to win at Navan on soft next time; no easy task under top-weight dropped to 5f on return but still progressing so respected. |

125,000gns 2yo; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to French 1m1f winner Mandalay; very promising Naas debut nine days ago over this trip, staying on well (racing away from winner in centre of track) when beaten 0.75l on yielding; granted normal improvement should be a major player here providing he handles softer ground; non-runner Curragh Tuesday. |

Starman colt cost 13,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to winners Restless Prince (5f; RPR 76) and Comeoncatchme (Malaysian 5f); dam 6f winner (68), out of Group-placed 5f 2yo winner; market best guide on debut, interesting jockey booking. |

Was still a bit weak physically when twice showing promise at Navan last year; odds-on for the second time when readily beating subsequent winner in AW maiden over 6f last month. |

Ran twice over this trip at Navan last October; slow to break when staying on well for 3/4l second behind fellow newcomer Kindergarten on the first occasion (yielding); raced more prominently when odds-on favourite two weeks later, weakened late into fourth, not beaten far; softer ground then might not have suited; good chance this will bring out the best in him. |

Son of Invincible Army; cost 10,000eur as a yearling; brother to 5f/5.7f winner Balmoral Lady (including Listed; RPR 107), half-brother to four winners including Another Touch (7f/1m including 2yo/AW; 108) and Spiorad Saoirse (7f/1m including 2yo/AW; 91); dam 1m winner (93); interesting newcomer with speed in pedigree but perhaps not a good sign he's already been gelded. |

Promising effort on second start at Navan (6f, soft) last October; returned to win a Sligo fillies' maiden (6f, yld-sft) 25 days ago; could go well on handicap debut but good ground is a query. |

First foal; 100,000euros yearling; dam unraced half-sister to useful German 6f-7f winner Blueridge Silver, out of South African 1m Grade 1 winner; much improved on second outing last October, speed throughout when beaten 0.5l in Navan auction maiden over this trip (Jackie Jump Up a tenderly-ridden neck away third); can go well if handling better ground. |

Handicap debutante yet to encounter good ground; 2l to find with Baiana on Sligo running latest; hood (ran well in one before) and tongue tie added; in the mix if handles quicker conditions. |

Much the better of three late-season 2yo outings on final occasion when strong-finishing third (neck off runner-up Baiana) in Navan auction maiden in first-time hood, prompting running and riding enquiry; yard have begun the season in fine form, should go well. |

Respectable debut run at Naas last month on yielding-to-soft but too keen when well held in similar contest earlier this month; tried hooded now and rider's claim a positive so not one to rule out. |
