G2 – 1600m – Turf

1

Atlantic Coast

Although showing inexperience he was always prominent before quickening decisively to win a 1400m maiden at The Curragh last month.

2

Bad Desire

Made quite an encouraging start at Galway. Ridden positively he had no chance of repelling the hot favourite when that more experienced colt went past, but it was still promising.

3

Bremen

A maiden race winner at around this trip at Killarney on his second start. Only fifth of six in Listed company at Tipperary since though the slow pace of that race might not have helped.

4

Capulet

Looked ready for action when making his debut at Dundalk last month, and, always prominent, he proved too strong for a more experienced rival with the pair clear of the third.

5

Deepone

Favourite for his first two starts, winning both including having to survive a wide gate here on his debut. Narrowly beaten in Listed company at Tipperary, racing too freely in a slowly-run event.

6

Democracy

A 1200m heavy-ground maiden winner at The Curragh on his debut, but has mostly struggled in stronger company since though not beaten far in a Listed event at Tipperary last time.

7

Diego Velazquez

Looks exciting. He cost 2.4 million guineas and was an odds-on favourite for a 1400m maiden at The Curragh for his debut last month, strong at the finish surging clear of his 12 rivals.

8

Formal Display

Beautifully bred, he must have encouraged connections with a promising first run when second to another smart-looking newcomer in a 1400m maiden at The Curragh last month.
