1

Bear Creek

From a top stable that have won this maiden twice but he was so well beaten on all three starts that there are no reasons to recommend him.

2

Cezarro

Changed hands for 40,000gns as a yearling. The first foal of a mare who won over 2400m.

3

Crosshaven

Closely related to winners, including over this trip. An inexpensive yearling purchase at just 13,000gns.

4

Esherann

Although no match for the winner, he was doing good work in the closing stages when second of eleven in a Leopardstown maiden this month. Up in trip and in with chances.

5

Our Friend Mouse

Out of a mare who was modest in her racing career. Probably best just watched on this debut.

6

Propose

Ran an encouraging second at Dundalk on his 2025 return. But the form of that maiden has not looked strong since.

7

Rizal

Likely to improve for his debut run in a Gowran Park maiden earlier this month. He was slowly away then and looked as though the experience would do him plenty of good.

8

Sears Crossing

Drops back in trip from his debut start, at Tipperary last month. He didn’t show much promise then.

9

Steel Cut

This gelded son of Shaman does not appeal as an obvious winner on this debut start.

10

Tracker Issue

Did better on his most recent start compared to his debut, though still 10L adrift of the winner in that five-runner Cork maiden. More time probably needed for him.

11

Valorous Power

Met some trouble on his debut – at Killarney this month – but he did run on nicely into fourth of ten. His trainer has won this race twice in the past five years.
