If we have seen the top 2 y o colt I doubt that we have seen the best of him .
Way down the list is Hazdann , he is said to have an entry but I can not find it . His maiden seems to have been ignored by everyone . 10lb from the top at present but he must have potential . I will not spoil it for you but after scrutiny you should see that 1st and 2nd level form stands inspection .
And , if you use due diligence , you should find a Derby outsider who is currently in the 33/1 bar range .
The fillies are not up to date as there are too many provisionals at the moment .
Lake Victoria -4 doubtful

The fly in the ointment being that City Of Troy has not run to his best figure this season .
Economics is way down the list as his Dante win looks worthless at the moment . +9
Calandagan form looks shakey too hence +7

No real framework to the form yet but this race could clarify several lines and , hopefully , give us a way in to the French fillies .

Rudis Apple is Nursery form .
Shadow Army form has taken a knock .

A wide open contest but , for the first time this season , Lia Fail has her chance . Dropped 18lb , the going will suit , she has course form and a very good rider .
In the Gra Chocolates she ran respectably against Portland and Jakajaro . They ran off of 90 and 86 respectively and both are now on 105 . She beat Uncle Albert giving him 7lb , tomorrow she is receiving 5lb . She has an entry on Wednesday too .
At 50/1 she is well worth a punt .
Attempting to find obvious howlers I was going through the early closing events for the babies , The Alpha Centauri list looks like it has the cream of the crop . I will try and keep this list up to date as there will need to be corrections .

Now , the figure for the Kildare House won by Lake Victoria might have to be reduced . The runner up that day put up exactly the same figure when winning at The Curragh as she did behind Victoria Lake and that should not happen . But Babouche , from the same yard as Red Letter , only improved 3lb from her debut when winning the very next race . Curious is it not ? A scribe from the Sporting Life mentioned that Ger Lyon trained maiden winners don't come forward . Perhaps he was correct . We should get more evidence tomorrow at Leopardstown .

Mixed messages from the result . The third ran her race so runner up gets raised 2 and the winner 4 .edit oops should be +3 and +5

The top filly looks a little high but don't forget that she was only getting 4lb from Arabie when he ran her over in a Group 3 . Probably needs cut and that applies to Dare To Dream at The Curragh .
