Verdict: This looks a good opportunity for VANDERBILT HOUSE who can make her fitness edge count over Wait For It and Agouti Bear

Vanderbilt House

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 556-3 OR: 80

7/4

Comment: Top rated with a mark of 80; best effort yet came on latest when a 1l third of 11 at the Curragh in a 6f maiden (soft) in first-time cheekpieces which are now replaced by blinkers; leading claims on the figures and her yard is in good form; big chance.

Agouti Bear

Jockey: J A Powell Trainer: Daniel James Murphy Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 2246- OR: 74

10/3

Comment: Rated 74; sound efforts in defeat in a trio of maidens last year at 6f on good ground and on the AW; blinkers worn for underwhelming handicap debut at Cork (6f) in October are discarded; returns with her yard in form; the market should reveal expectations.

9/2

Comment: Promise when staying on for fourth on debut at Naas (6f, yielding) behind Bodhi Bear in October; narrowly denied stepped up to 7f at Dundalk the following month and off since; rated 75 so has a bit to find dropped back in trip but the stiff uphill finish here should suit; big player if she's fit after her break.

11/2

Comment: Well-bred daughter of Bated Breath offered something to work with when an 8l fourth of 9 on debut at Dundalk (7f) in December, weakening late on; this shorter trip should suit better on the evidence of that run and her yard is 11-58 here in the last five seasons; could go well.

10/1

Comment: 71 rated maiden but ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for former yard; has placed in 5f-6f maidens at the Curragh, Tipperary and Cork on heavy and good; sold for 6,000Euros in November; has to give weight away and lacks a run but worth a market check on stable debut.

10/1

Comment: Mehmas filly had issues at the start on debut at Dundalk (5f) in February when a 5-1 shot but she showed a bit of promise and finished a 3.25l fourth; should improve for that and 6f may suit on breeding but her yard has yet to have a winner this season.

20/1

Comment: Best effort for Ralph Beckett came over 7f on the AW at Wolverhampton; well beaten in a pair of maidens on soft ground at 1m2f and 7f first two runs for this yard; drops back in trip but she's hard to fancy on what she has shown the last twice.

6/5

Comment: Rated 84 after four starts; not beaten far twice over 6f, at Navan on debut last October and at the Curragh on his seasonal return in March; didn't quite get home over 1m at Bellewstown latest and now drops back in trip; yard 16-91 here in the last five seasons; the one to beat.

6/4

Comment: Calyx colt was bought for 150,000GBP as a 2yo; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to 14.5f winner Gangster Granny, out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner; yard can ready one first time up so check the market.

Titan Sun

Jockey: S T McCullagh Trainer: Peter McCreery Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 5-

7/1

Comment: Now gelded son of Belardo was backed into 15-2 from 50-1 for his October Curragh debut (6f, yld-sft) and he showed speed before weakening out of it into fifth late on; different ground here and not sure this stiff track will suit; probably best watched after his break unless the market speaks in his favour.

14/1

Comment: Sent off at 9-1 on debut at Dundalk (7f) but didn't land a blow; the drop back in trip here should suit on that evidence and he's related to winners at this trip; however, he'll need to improve plenty for the first-time blinkers.

14/1

Comment: Rated 70; excellent effort on debut at Down Royal (7f, good) last June when an unconsidered 33-1 shot; has struggled both starts at 1m this term but testing ground may not have been to her liking; this stiff track should suit, as will the better ground; place chance for yard that does well here.

Comment: Profitable filly is a sixth foal; closely related to 7f/1m 2yo winner Marcel (inc Group 1 Racing Post Trophy; RPR 118), half-brother to 1m winner Just Brilliant (inc 2yo/AW; 86); dam unraced sister to smart sprinter Munjiz; nicely bred newcomer worth a market check, though stable form is a concern.

Jockey: J Cleary Trainer: Adrian Sexton Age/Wt: 4/9-11 F: 0340-0 OR: 54

50/1

Comment: 0-5 on turf; best effort came when a 4.25l third of 7 in a Tipperary maiden for her former yard on her second start (5f, soft); hasn't repeated that since and was pulled up in a Clonmel maiden hurdle when last seen in March; new headgear combination needs to have a dramatic effect.

Comment: Third reserve; 4-35 on the AW and 1-13 on turf; all five wins have come over 1m; is 5lb below last turf win at Leopardstown (1m, good) but has been out of form in four runs this year; best watched down in trip in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.

Comment: Second runner for yard; dual-purpose maiden but has run fine races in defeat the last twice; short of room on latest at Navan when running on for a 1.5l second of 11; same mark here and should be thereabouts with a smoother passage.

Comment: One of two for yard; dual-purpose mare is 1-15 on turf on the Flat; sound effort on latest when a 2.5l third of 10 over this trip at Gowran on testing ground; handles a sounder surface but ran poorly on her only previous visit to this track (10.5f, soft); the market should reveal expectations.

Comment: Winning hurdler is 0-13 on turf on the Flat but she did show signs of life when fourth of 10 on bottomless ground at Gowran (13.5f) on latest; down 2lb for that and she handles better ground; not one for maximum faith but she'd have a chance on a going day.

Comment: Only win in seven came in a Bellewstown maiden (12.5f, good to yielding) in August when wearing first-time cheekpieces (now left off, as last time); three runs since, in a Listed race and two slow-ground handicaps; better expected under these conditions.

Verdict: It was an eyecatching handicap debut at Navan from ANGELO PIO (nap) given that he came from last to fourth and found bother in running.

Angelo Pio

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-13 F: 0-484 OR: 71

9/4

Comment: Maiden efforts on the AW not devoid of promise and he duly ran an eyecatching race on handicap debut at Navan (1m2f) where he was beaten under 3l into fourth (of 19) after coming from a long way back; the winner of that race probably resented the soft ground when behind Birdie Time on his next start; major player.
