A Boy Named Susie

9st 2lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Holds outstanding claims here despite having only a debut win to his name; form last season and this term ties in with several top-class Ballydoyle colts, including when fourth behind three of them in the Prix du Jockey-Club and when splitting Constitution River and Hawk Mountain in the Eclipse.

8st 13lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien

Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain.

Debut maiden winner; lost out by only a short head to Christmas Day in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes here in October on his fourth start; built on that when 2l second to Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud; does not need to improve much to win a Pattern race; solid chance here.

9st 6lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Placed on all three starts; however, all have been in small-field races and he was beaten 5 1/2l in first-time cheekpieces by a stable outsider at Tipperary 11 days ago; apparent selected for trainer who also saddles three newcomers and should go close.

J: Declan McDonogh

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Fourth in Naas barrier trial in May; promising Killarney run in July when 20-1 stable second-choice, staying on for third ahead of an odds-on favourite stablemate; improvement likely but perhaps the outsider of Joseph O'Brien's pair again.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Awtaad colt; 42,000euros yearling; second foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to Listed winners Daktani (1m 2yo), Diatribe (6f/7f) and Diaphora (1m); fourth in Naas barrier trial before successful track debut in 7f Leopardstown auction event last month, overcoming traffic problems to get up on post (second narrowly beaten again since); extra 1f to suit and National Stakes entry should take plenty of beating if handling softer ground.

Won over 7f at two; good display when second to a better-fancied stablemate over C&D in May; down the field in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood; should be more at home in this company.

Won the first of his five races and best form on penultimate start (10.5f, good); 1m4f for handicap debut looked interesting at Royal Ascot (good to firm; 28-1) on latest but he was a never-dangerous 13th of 19 after making a move early in straight, suggesting this trip is a better fit after all.

Perhaps unsuited by soft ground and/or front-running on second start, as he's otherwise improved his rating every time; tongue tied for minor honours in two median auction races (1m and 10.5f) this term and, despite his pedigree, 1m4f for handicap debut looks interesting on the latest evidence.

Some promise in two runs as a juvenile; improved from his seasonal debut here to win a Curragh maiden, both over 1m2f; did well on the latter occasion as he had to wait for room; backed that up with victory in a four-runner event over 1m5f here four weeks ago; speedy pedigree on the dam's side, stamina derived from his sire.
