Mudyrk (IRE)

Soundly beaten by smart Barrow Boy on debut, he then conceded 5lb to the winner when finishing a close second at Fairyhouse subsequently. Looks likely to win his maiden soon.

Lord Aus (IRE)

Sea Of Rain (IRE)

Attracted support on her Roscommon debut before finishing nicely in fourth place. She had been outpaced when appearing to be green on debut, so should win a similar maiden soon.

Oppenheimer (IRE)

Having shown just mild promise in juvenile maidens, he has improved in handicap company this year. He stayed on nicely at the Curragh on May 4 and can win from his rating.

Bamako Beach (IRE)

Showed promise in one run as a two-year-old and shaped as though he would improve considerably from his good seasonal reappearance run at Gowran in May.

Coolboy Christy (IRE)

Showed ability in bumpers and while he has taken a while to get the hang of hurdles, shaped with promise in two handicap starts in March. Should win at one of the western tracks, like Ballinrobe.
