Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
11th	1	7	Classical Symphony (G) Offered little when well held in maiden on debut in in autumn 2024 and not seen since. First run for new trainer with tongue strap removed.	0/00	Jamie Powell Sean Davis	4	65.8kg	151 150/1
8th	2	4	Snap Decision (G) Shown very little in three runs, all at Dundalk over 7f. Now drops significantly in trip on turf debut and is very hard to fancy.	0-08866	Darragh O'Sullivan D Duggan	4	65.8kg	301 300/1
10th	3	3	Ace King Queen (F) Fourth of 11 on debut at Navan but went backwards when last of 7 at Down Royal in 2024. Difficult to fancy starting out for a new yard after 624 days off.	47/	James Ryan Daniel Murphy	4	63.5kg	67 66/1
5th	4	8	Fate's Gambit (G) Second on debut at Dundalk over 7f in late January but yet to build on that promise. Steps down to 5f here but at least enjoys a fitness edge over most of these.	355093	Donagh O'Connor Robson Aguiar	3	60.8kg	19 18/1
3rd	5	9	Sparky Sparky (G) €260,000 purchase who showed promise on debut when fourth of 12 in a maiden at Naas (6f) in September. Down in trip on seasonal return but looks one of the likely improvers.	4-30482	Ben Coen J P Murtagh	3	60.8kg	7 6/1
2nd	6	1	Starman Tom (G) Starman gelding. Best watched in the betting first time up.	233	Declan McDonogh K P Cotter	3	60.8kg	8 7/1
1st	7	11	Cardiff By The Sea (F) FAV Sets the clear standard on her fourth of 23 in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. Failed to give running when last of 7 in a listed race at Naas (9/4) next outing when reportedly slightly lame…	247-107	Seamie Heffernan J A Stack	3	58.5kg	2.63 13/8
7th	8	10	Cashel Blue (F) £3,000 yearling. Space Blues filly. Dam won at 5f/6f including at 2 yrs. Market will guide on expectations first time up.	7051	Ronan Whelan K J Condon	3	58.5kg	17 16/1
6th	9	12	Merry Blacksmith (F) T Travelled well on debut over 7f at Listowel in September before fading, but only eighth of 14 in maiden over 6f at Navan next outing. Drops to 5f after 164-day absence and looks more one for handicap…	58-680	Andrew Slattery A Slattery	3	58.5kg	34 33/1
—	10	2	Thenandnow (F) Second on debut over 7f at Leopardstown in July but has gone the wrong way since. Reappears trying a new trip and has something to prove.	57-1503	Shane Foley Mrs J Harrington	3	58.5kg	7 6/1
4th	11	6	Wearing Stars (F) T Fair form when third on last 2 starts in maidens at Dundalk, most recently when odds-on favourite in December. Absent since and needs to find progress dropping to 5f for the first time.	33-4924	Billy Lee H De Bromhead	3	58.5kg	4 3/1
9th	12	5	White Smoke (F) P Consecutive seconds at the Curragh in August and September but has disappointed since. Drops to 5f and wears first-time cheekpieces here but has plenty to find with Cardiff By The Sea even if back to…	254-904	Colin Keane M C Grassick	3	58.5kg	6 5/1
