|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 5 |
Teologia (F)
[P]
Progressive Teofilo filly who responded well to headgear when off the mark in C&D maiden 3 weeks ago. In top hands so should have more to offer now handicapping.

Hassaniya (C)
Much improved from debut 6 months on when fourth in big-field Curragh maiden on heavy. Not at that level at Gowran since but no surprise if he bounced back now handicapping.

Dreoilin (F)
Progressed again when second at the Curragh in April. Trip too far next time and this distance could be her optimum.

Amrum (C)
[P1]
Half-brother to connections' very smart miler Siskin. Showed little in maidens but landed a bit of a gamble when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran 3 weeks ago, finding plenty to lead close home. Should go well again with headgear n…

Glamazon (F)
[P]
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in a maiden at Ballinrobe (9.5f) but struggled back in handicaps next 2 starts.

Aquilla Star (F)
Left form in maidens well behind when second of 15 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy) in October, no match for winner but not getting clearest of runs. Off since but player if ready to go up significantly in trip (1½m winner).

Roaming Coyote (C)
FAV
Well backed ahead of his handicap debut and duly showed why when showing big improvement to finish second of 14 at Gowran 19 days ago, pulling clear of the rest. Considered up 6 lb.

Chapel Island (C)
[T]
Modest maiden on balance. Went off joint favourite on his return from 8 months off (left Michael Mulvany) but never looked like playing anything other than a minor role in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) last month. Up in trip and tongue…

Left previous efforts in maidens behind when close second at Roscommon on handicap bow last month. Third has won since so big shout off 3 lb higher. Tongue strap back on.
