FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BALLOT BOX has a poor draw in 12 to overcome but has shown enough to suggest she can win a maiden of this nature. She ran well in a hot maiden on debut at Naas and while well beaten in another useful maiden at the Curragh since, didn’t get a clear passage then and is capable of better. Natty Dresser has an excellent draw in 1 and is likely to race prominently having shown speed in his latest start. He also takes a big drop in class, having been beaten by high class Brother Bear latest, and can also play a leading part. Drombeg Dream finished behind the selection at Naas on debut but did run quite well then and since ran another promising race at Cork. She has solid place claims while Dowhatisay needs to improve from his Naas debut. Vicky Cristina missed the break on debut at Navan, should progress plenty from that staying on effort and looks capable of getting involved here. Monkeylou was a 40,000gns yearling purchase, is a half-brother to six winners, including a Group 2 winner and is likely to have ability with Pat Smullen booked while Dream Of Words is out of a 7f 2yo winner and is another who should have ability.

For two yrs old only, maidens at starting which are EBF eligible whose sire established one or more yearling sales in 2016 with a median price of not more than E50,000
