RACE  SELECTION  REASON 

Race 1 

Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden 

  

High King 

 

Donnacha O’Brien has great record with two-year-olds and won this in 2023 

Debutant has great speedy profile being out of a Group 3-winning juvenile
 

Race 2 

AES Recycling First Flier Stakes 

 

Star Prospect 

 

Hugely impressive but professional when scoring over the course and distance 15 days ago 

Brings the strongest form into this race 

 

Race 3 

Coolmore Stud Henry Longfellow Irish EBF Tetrarch Stakes 

 

Andab 

 

Benefits from plenty of experience and unlucky not to win in Qatar in February 

Good third last time and cheekpieces added 

Handles this ground well 

Race 4 

Keadeen Hotel Supporting Newbridge Community Day Irish EBF Fillies Handicap 

Sanctijude 

 


Yet to win but has some solid form including solid third last time out 

Shaped very well over course and distance in a handicap in September 

Return to this ground will suit 

 

Race 5 

Coolmore Auguste Rodin Irish EBF Athasi Stakes 

Drop Dead Georgous 

 

Has Group 1 potential for top yard being related to G1 winners Gleneagles, Marvellous, Happily and Joan Of Arc 

Superb on debut and already looks up to this level 

Race 6 

Clem Murphy Memorial Irish EBF Mooresbridge Stakes 

 

Minnie Hauk 

 

Established top-level horse and clearly the one to beat 

Has form at the track from Irish Oaks success
