Triple-figure odds and no impact in three maidens at 6f-1m on varying ground; tongue tie and hood now tried; others appeal more.

Struggled in three bumper runs and similar story on Flat debut at Gowran (1m, good) earlier this month; may need more time.

Lope De Vega colt made a very pleasing debut at Cork (1m, soft) last month when a 2.75l third of 17; form was boosted by the runner up Omni Man this week; different ground here but his dam handled quick conditions; should go well.

Gran Habano
Nine race maiden rated 80 on AW and 76 on turf; best efforts on grass on easy ground at Gowran the last twice over 1m (yielding) and 7f (heavy); Colin Keane an eye catching booking but has a bit to prove on the likely quicker ground here.

Immortal Jock
Was a bit short of room on debut at Leopardstown (1m, good) when beaten 16l; Belardo gelding is related to a couple of useful winners and his yard is in form but he may need a bit more time.

Poweracclaim
Acclamation gelding was sent off at 20-1 on debut at Gowran (7f, heavy) but he ran a nice race to finish fifth of 16, just 1l behind Gran Habano; two of his half-brothers have won on good ground so he might improve for this sounder surface; not discounted.

Sheamus Seimhiu
Sent off long odds for both starts almost a year apart; improved effort at Cork (1m, soft) on latest when finishing in midfield but a lot more needed to win this.

Home-bred Kingman filly is a third foal; sister to winners Samburu (7f/8.5f inc 2yo/US; RPR 105) and Settlement (7f AW; 83); dam 7f 2yo winner (89), sister to US 8.5f Grade 2 winner Set Piece, half-sister to 6f/6.5f Listed winner Alocasia (by Kingman); newcomer from respected source; market should reveal plenty.

Quafftide
Home-bred Holy Roman Emperor filly is a second foal; dam 6f-1m AW winner (inc 2yo; RPR 95), closely related to useful 7f/1m1f winner Miramis, half-sister to useful winners Twin Star (1m2f/1m5f) and Breaking Story (7f 2yo/1m); from a family the trainer knows well and dam won on debut; check the market.

Second runner for yard; cheaply bought Arizona filly is a third foal; dam 1m4f turf/2m AW winner (RPR 80), half-sister to 6f 2yo Listed winner Clondinnery and 1m2f/1m4f winner Stony Grey, out of 1m4f Flat and 2m/2m1f hurdle winner; not much appeal on paper and rates an unlikely winner on debut.

Valencia
An 87-rated three-race maiden who ran well on her second and third starts last year; finished 1.75l behind Irish 1000 Guineas hopeful Swelter at Leopardstown (1m, good) in July and not beaten far in the Goffs Million over this C&D in September; holds an Irish Oaks entry; the one to beat if she is fit.
