Skip James (IRE)

Out of a Group 3 winner, he was slowly away on Fairyhouse debut but finished strongly for third. The winner subsequently finishing second in Royal Ascot's Chesham Stakes.

On The Sixth Day (IRE)

A half-sister to three winners, she was well backed on Listowel debut and ran well, finishing second and staying well to the line. She should win a bumper soon.

Over The Rainbow (IRE)

By Dubawi and out of Oaks Winner Seventh Heaven, she shaped with promise on Curragh debut against experienced rivals and is sure to progress.

Admiralty Place (GB)

Lightly raced, he has been running well in maidens and should get off the mark in the coming weeks.

Giladah (IRE)

Well bred and out of a Group 2 winning dam, her maiden form is nothing special but finished well at Gowran (April 13) and could win handicaps.

Miss Mirabell (IRE)

Out of an unraced half-sister to an American Group 1 winner, she was drawn wide on Gowran debut and was outpaced before finishing well.

Level Pitch (IRE)

Has progressed very well over the winter, won nicely on reappearance at Cork and can add further handicap wins.

Spasiba (FR)

Out of a winning French dam and from a staying family, he shaped well on debut at Cork and should progress well.

Bynx (IRE)

She showed bits of flat form before being sent hurdling last year and should pay her way over jumps on good ground in the coming months.

The Last Mardi (IRE)

Well bred, he narrowly failed to win first-time-out at Thurles, when bumping a once-raced rival and should win his bumper in the coming weeks.

Point King (IRE)

Slowly away on debut at Leopardstown, he finished his race to good affect and should be a capable performer in 2022.
