Chantilly²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: A P O'Brien

5/2

Once-raced colt. Sixth of 13 in maiden (12/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut 28 days ago. Likely to be sharper this time and one to consider for top yard.

Form: 6

(3)

Goodbye Venice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N M Crosse| T: L Comer

33/1

Foaled March 22. Raa Atoll colt. Dam 1¼m winner. Entitled to come on for the run.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery

33/1

Once-raced colt. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 21 days ago.

Form: 0

(5)

King Of The Bronx¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R C Colgan| T: N Slevin

50/1

Once-raced colt. Last of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good, 28/1) on debut 18 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8

(8)

Meteor Storm

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons

6/1

Foaled February 2. €80,000 yearling, Zoustar colt. Brother to winner abroad. Dam, 2-y-o 6.5f winner, closely related to very smart winner up to 7f My Catch. Likely-looking type from a top yard and the market will be informative.

Form:

(6)

Natural Ruler²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B M Coen| T: J P Murtagh

14/1

33/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Yard having good spell and this colt should leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 9

(1)

Norwalk Havoc¹¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Once-raced gelding. 14/1, last of 6 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut. Off 112 days and significantly up in trip. Surely capable of better.

Form: 6

(7)

Pandion Power²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S B Kelly| T: J P Murtagh

25/1

Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good, 80/1) 21 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Natural Ruler.

Form: 40

(10)

Slurricane⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G F Carroll| T: R O'Sullivan

8/1

Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 13 in maiden (20/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 77 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 55

(9)

Surfers Paradise¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

7/2

Twice-raced colt. Second of 8 in maiden (4/1) at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Should be in the mix.

Form: 42

(11)

Taraj²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C D Hayes| T: D K Weld

3/1

Promising individual. 20/1, fourth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 21 days ago, nearest finish. Stable in good form. Clearly held in high regard (Group 2 entry) and improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Chantilly (5/2), Taraj (3/1), Surfers Paradise (7/2), Meteor Storm (6/1), Slurricane (8/1), Natural Ruler (14/1), Norwalk Havoc (16/1), Pandion Power (25/1), Goodbye Venice (33/1), Killeaney Bear (33/1), King Of The Bronx (50/1)

TARAJ shaped with abundant promise on his introduction at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards, he is taken to land this maiden before going on to better things. Surfers Paradise found just one too good at Tipperary recently and looks set for another leading role, while Chantilly can be expected to step up on what he showed first time out and also take a hand in the finish. Newcomer Meteor Storm needs close attention in the betting.
