Won on soft at Galway, second-best of stable's trio in Beresford Stakes, strong chance
7 (7)	Zaphod Chestnut J:Ronan Whelan T:John S Odonoghue	J:Ronan Whelan T:John S Odonoghue	131	—	1	-	97	85	20d	—	—	-6	16.7	7/2 22%
A lot more on his plate than when winning at Tipperary but the going will not be an issue
5 (8)	Naval Force Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	131	—	1	-	96	61	21d	—	—	-1	14.4	11/2 15%
Beat two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 1m maiden at Killarney, may hold his own
1 (6)	Cambridge Bay J:Ben Coen T:A P Obrien	J:Ben Coen T:A P Obrien	131	—	31	-	105	94	44d	—	—	+2	16.1	13/2 13%
Won a novice event at Salisbury on good-to-firm last month, Roscommon third was on soft
NR (4)	Look At The Stars Bay J:TBC T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J: T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	131	—	81	-	96	53	30d	—	—	+1	13.8	17/2 11%
Won readily at Listowel, more progress required, trip and ground should suit
NR (2)	Ezeliya Bay J:TBC T:D K Weld	J: T:D K Weld	128	—	41	-	92	72	25d	—	—	-2	15.1	11 9%
Won quite snugly at Cork but the second has since finished out of the money at the Curragh
6 (1)	Spanish Flame Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	131	—	41144	93	100	82	32d	—	—	+12	21.3	10/1 9%
Both wins were on good, soft ground is a concern on the evidence of tame Listowel run
2 (5)	Gibbs Island Chestnut J:W J Lee T:A Oliver	J:W J Lee T:A Oliver	131	—	641	-	90	85	27d	—	—	+6	11.4	18/1 5%
