Verdict

JOE COOL was only beaten by the improving Tim Toe on his latest Flat outing and is taken to follow up last month's win over hurdles. Daddy Long Legs looks worth another chance back on the Flat, while Duvessa should be in the mix with improvement expected. Murat is another to note on his first start on the level.

    Verdict
    Ridden with an eye on the future on debut/sole start for Mrs J. Harrington and having showed improved form over a longer trip when a well-backed second at Roscommon (1½m) on her return, she's the type to keep progressing for excellent yard.

    Verdict
    Smart hurdler at his best, he put an underwhelming all-weather run behind him when winning a minor event over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces (runner-up won next time) at Ballinrobe last month, and has good claims in a winnable Flat maiden.

    Verdict
    Posted fairly useful efforts in defeat when runner-up in maidens at the Curragh/Bellewstown over the spring, the form of the latter now reading particularly well, and having won a maiden on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe last month, he's fancied to double up on return to the Flat.

    Verdict
    Free-going sort, successful both starts in bumpers/won maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last December, he typically looked a tricky ride when well-held third in a Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse in early-April but still rates an interesting contender on Flat debut.

    Verdict
    Left his debut form behind when runner-up in a Dundalk maiden (10.7f) on reappearance. Worth a go over the longer trip (in first-time cheekpieces) given that he's seemingly already outstaying his pedigree, and he deserves to be on the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Makes a first start on the Flat having shaped better than the beaten distance when sixth in a Sligo bumper on debut (did too much too soon), however, he's very much bred to be a jumper.

    Verdict
    Berkshire mare. Dam, runner-up at 6f, half-sister to smart 6f winner Primo Valentino and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Dora Carrington. Makes some appeal on pedigree, but she's probably one for the longer term.

    Raa Atoll gelding. Dam unraced. Finished well beaten in a German Group 2 (2m) on debut (for Luke Comer) and it's hard to be confident on first run for Luke W. Comer, for all he has his sights lowered.

    Verdict
    Indian Haven colt. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including 7.4f-1¼m winner Jawaayiz, but he could hardly have shown less when well beaten in a Kilbeggan bumper in late-April.
