Dandy Man 4yo is brother to Italian 6f-7.5f winner; cost 7,000 euros as a yearling; dam 6f winner, out of US 7f/1m winning half-sister to US 1m Grade 2 winner Habaya; respected yard, but best watched unless money arrives.
Second at Galway festival and Gowran third to this year's Derby winner Christmas Day were the pick of his 2yo soft-ground maiden efforts; disappointed on seasonal return in Curragh handicap; back from a break with much better effort over 1m on good ground at Leopardstown last week; cheekpieces stay on; Aga Khan damline suggests he'll stay, but that remains to be seen.
Elzaam colt; dam unraced half-sister to Scandinavian 1m-8.6f winner, out of 1m2f winning half-sister to Listed winners Coupe De Ville (1m 2yo) and Fantastico Robert (US 1m1f); young trainer having a good season, but this one is best watched unless backed.
Ghaiyyath colt from a talented Juddmonte family; 18s for quick-ground 1m2f Curragh maiden on Derby weekend, showed ability when beaten 5l by winner who now sits on a mark of 88; spoilt his chance significantly by hanging left up the straight; form of that run yet to be tested.
Front-running third over 1m2f at Leopardstown; weakened over 1m4f on testing ground at Cork; third over C&D last month and the second easily went one better at Killarney on Monday; has only run on yielding or worse; headgear.
Ran well in red-hot 1m maiden at Naas on her return; again stable second-string (20-1) when running much the same race over same C&D last month; dam 1m2f Listed winner, sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe, so Dubawi filly is bred to get this trip, although the visual evidence from her two runs this year is inconclusive in that regard.
