Placed off this mark on nursery debut and again ran well in a rated race last time
4 (10)	Zarvali Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	130	b	785	72	72	67	25d	—	—	-5	9.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
This mark looks tough enough for what he's achieved but now goes in blinkers
1 (3)	Raphello Bay J:Wayne Hassett(3) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Wayne Hassett(3) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	138	—	376236	80	78	73	25d	—	—	+1	16.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
5f too sharp last time (maiden) and was previously placed in a 6f nursery at the Curragh
5 (2)	Tahcawin Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	128	—	546	70	83	67	34d	—	—	-6	9.4	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Showed enough in maidens to believe she can have a future off this mark in handicaps
6 (5)	Stock Market Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	J:Wayne Lordan T:A P O'Brien	127	b	050	69	75	40	44d	—	—	-3	7.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Bitterly disappointing in sprint maidens considering he cost 380,000gns as a yearling
9 (4)	The Love Machine Bay J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	122	t	95505	64	80	67	4d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-3	6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
No wins in five but was only 2l away off this mark in a 5f soft-ground Naas nursery
7 (8)	Elora Prince Bay J:Colin Keane T:Kieran P Cotter	J:Colin Keane T:Kieran P Cotter	124	—	6406	66	85	82	53d	—	—	0	5.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Her fourth in a 7.5f maiden at Roscommon is a standout; tailed off since then
3 (7)	Oh Cecelia Chestnut J:James Ryan T:Jack W Davison	J:James Ryan T:Jack W Davison	134	p	21056	76	83	53	23d	—	1W/1P 1 run	+6	12.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Second and first in her opening two races (at 5f) but hasn't kicked on from there
8 (6)	Pretty Liz Bay J:Tadhg O'Shea T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Tadhg O'Shea T:Denis Gerard Hogan	123	—	709	65	85	19	29d	—	—	+1	4.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Latest 7l ninth of 15 at Naas was fairly encouraging with a view to nurseries
10 (9)	Bullet Bourbon Chestnut J:Conor Cusack(7) T:T G McCourt	J:Conor Cusack(7) T:T G McCourt	121	h	9580	63	82	77	49d	—	—	+1	4.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Smidgeon of promise prior to a sales race; can find her level in handicaps
