Gowran Park 18:45 Odds Comparison

Placed in 2 maidens in summer 2024 and signed off campaign with a good fifth in a valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 33/1). Absent for 18 months but will be in the mix if retaining ability.

Has shown fairly useful form in maidens, most recently when second of 12 (11/8) at Dundalk (8f) 13 days ago. Looks the one to beat with visor on 1st time.

Fairly useful maiden who finished runner-up on 4 consecutive occasions last term when trained by Ger Lyons. Ran poorly on yard debut when tenth of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 9/1) 18 days ago but best form puts him in the mix. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Showed fair form in 4 starts last season, most recently when fourth of 13 in maiden (8/1) at Leopardstown (9f, heavy) 172 days ago. Might prove better suited by 1m.

Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1½m-2m winner Earl of Tyrone and useful 1½m-2m winner Countess of Tyrone. Dam unraced. Bred to be above average and is worth betting check on debut.

Didn't show much on Flat debut in November but progressive over hurdles in the meantime, winning novice at Fairyhouse in February. Mid-field back on Flat at the Curragh last time and will be of more interest when handicapping.

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in the first half of 2025 for Gordon Elliott and was third in a Clonmel maiden on first Flat start later that year. Let down by his jumping both starts over hurdles for current yard this winter.

Lightning Spear gelding. Brother to 1m winner Electric Lightning. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner). Not without hope on paper but makes belated debut in competitive race.

Le Havre filly out of lightly-raced half-sister to useful winners Bolleville and Bring On The Night. Yard can train debut winner but this one is probably opposable.

Cracksman gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m winner Jolly Jack Tar and 1m/9f winner Act Fast. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Not an obvious type on paper.

Western Frontier colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1m In Haste. Dam, ungenuine 2-y-o 8.4f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Takrice. Not much on paper and others are preferred.

€12,000 foal, €12,000 yearling, Mastercraftsman gelding. Half-brother to US 7.5f winner Goodfella. Yard wouldn't be associated with debut winners.

Waldgeist filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m-1¾m winner Echo Brava and 1m-11f winner Mitigator. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7.4f winner). Bred to be at her best over further.

Wootton Bassett filly's sales price plummeted from 310k as a yearling to only 15k at 3 yrs and she trailed home last of 6 in a minor event at Dundalk on debut 34 days ago.

Pulled up in maiden hurdle/bumper. Tongue tied for Flat debut.

Ribchester gelding looked longer-term prospect when fourteenth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy) on debut 25 days ago.

Well held in 3 maidens last year and is easily passed over returning from 9 months off here.
