Monkstown

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 33

9/4

Comment: 300,000Euros yearling; fair third of 17 behind a stablemate of Valencia on debut in a soft-ground maiden over this trip at the Curragh in March; failed to improve on that when third over 1m at Dundalk a month ago, still showing signs of inexperience.

Esherann

Jockey: C D Hayes Trainer: D K Weld Age/Wt: 3/9-8

5/2

Knockmark

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 0-4

16/5

Comment: Down the field on debut over 6f at the Curragh last August on only start at two; subsequently gelded, and produced a much more positive display with tongue-tie fitted when fourth over this trip at Dundalk early last month; fair chance of reaching the money.

Zodiac Bear

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 0

Teffian Warrior

Pete's Dream

Jockey: A J Slattery Trainer: Andrew Slattery Age/Wt: 3/9-8

16/1

Comment: First foal; dam a minor 6f winner, out of an unraced half-sister to an Italian Listed winner; pedigree claims are not strong.

Scarlet Raider

Jockey: G M Ryan Trainer: Emmet Mullins Age/Wt: 3/9-8

22/1

Comment: 20,000Euros Tattersalls breeze-up purchase; seventh foal; closely related to US 6f dirt winner Peace Peddler, half-brother to three winners in US; dam US/Canadian Grade 3 winner, half-sister to the winning dam of Preakness winner Exaggerator.

Jockey: R Coakley Trainer: J S Bolger Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 9-

50/1

Comment: 50-1 when down the field over 6f at Naas on only start at two; should be more mature now but hard to fancy.

Among The Pines

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: M C Grassick Age/Wt: 4/10-6

100/1

Comment: Half-brother to bumper winner Largy Valley; dam won over middle distances on Flat and also won over hurdles; from the family of Group 1 winner Bigstone; best watched on belated debut.

200/1

Comment: Eighth foal; half-brother to four winners; dam was very useful for this small yard; dual bumper winner, four Flat wins and Listed-placed; belated debut at five.

Miss Americana

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: Charles O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 0-0

250/1

Valencia

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 724- OR: 87

Comment: Improved from Curragh debut when second to subsequent Group 3 winner Swelter in a 1m maiden here; ended season with a fair fourth behind stablemate Apples And Bananas in the Goffs Million; holds a very strong chance.
