Verdict: Ballydoyle's first-string FIRST APPROACH looks the way to go having shown speed when runner-up on the all-weather last month.

First Approach

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7 F: 2

1/1

Comment: Dam was a Group-placed 6f winner and showed speed when hitting the crossbar at Dundalk on debut with Award Ceremony just behind; yard's representatives often take big steps forward from their initial outings; first-string on jockey bookings.

Amiata

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 2/9-7

4/1

Comment: Dark Angel colt; cost 85,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to Norwegian 5.8f 2yo winner Icon Bling; dam 6f winner (RPR 72), closely related to two 5f 2yo winners, half-sister to useful winners Boston Rocker (Group-placed 6f 2yo) and Mustallib (6f); speedy pedigree and yard can ready one but this could be an above average maiden.

Award Ceremony

Jockey: G M Ryan Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 3

9/2

Comment: Only just touched off for second by First Approach at Dundalk on her debut last month; looked green and will need to improve with her re-opposing rival likely to take a sizeable step forward.

Kansas

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7

5/1

Comment: Wootton Bassett colt; dam 7.4f 2yo winner (RPR 94), sister to winners Mars (very smart up to 1m4f), Gustav Klimt (7f 2yo Group 2), Wonderfully (7f 2yo Group 3) and three Listed (at 6f 2yo, 7f 2yo and 1m), half-sister to Italian 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Nayarra; nice pedigree but will probably need further and he's the yard's second-string.

Taiyi

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-2

14/1

Comment: Starspangledbanner filly; dam German Listed-placed 1m2f/1m3f winner, out of German Listed-placed 1m3f winner; yard gets winning newcomers but this looks tough.

Cheaperbythebottle

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: David Marnane Age/Wt: 2/9-2

25/1

Comment: Cotai Glory filly; cost 16,000euros as a yearling; sister to French/Italian 4.5f/6f 2yo winner Bottle Of Bubbles (including Group 3; RPR 91); dam 5f AW 2yo winner (65), closely related to prolific 5f-6f winner Your Pal Tal, half-sister to four winners at up to 7f; speed in her pedigree but this looks tough on debut.

Mini Cotai

Jockey: W Joyce Trainer: Michael Mulvany Age/Wt: 2/9-2

50/1

Comment: Cotai Glory filly; dam 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 91), out of Listed-placed 1m2f/10.7f winner Zamoura; yard gets 2yo winners but likely best watched in this field.

Soulful Diva

Jockey: A J Slattery Trainer: David Marnane Age/Wt: 2/9-2

50/1

Comment: Soldier's Call filly; half-sister to French 6f-8.5f winner Reconnect (including 2yo; RPR 70); dam French 5.5f 2yo winner, is granddaughter of 7f/1m winning half-sister to French 1,000 Guineas winner Elusive Wave; this looks tough for a newcomer but speed in her pedigree.

Jockey: C D Hayes Trainer: Miss Kate McGivern Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 70

9/2

Comment: Career best when getting off the mark at the 11th attempt at Navan (soft, 5f) a fortnight ago having been narrowly denied on AW on penultimate run; up 8lb, different conditions here and she's drawn out on the wing; not sure to follow up.

Comment: Best efforts for this yard have been over 5f at Down Royal but ran with credit when runner-up to Beano Power on soft at Navan on her penultimate start; however, backwards step at the Curragh on Monday and her yard is a bit quieter than usual.

Comment: Won over the extended 6f at the Curragh on last season's return and ran a couple of solid races in defeat in big field handicaps since; suspicion 5f is too short on return from 205 days off.

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: David Marnane Age/Wt: 2/9-7

28/1

Comment: Eighth foal; half-brother to winners The Lir Jet (5f/6.5f including 2yo, GB Group 2 Norfolk Stakes and US Grade 2; RPR 110), Special Angel (1m1f; 69) and Fast Dreams (Italian 5f/6f including 2yo); E74,000 yearling was unsold for 115,000GBP at a recent breeze-up sale but is bred to be a smart 2yo so respected.

Manifest Destiny

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: A Oliver Age/Wt: 2/9-7

40/1

Comment: Tenth foal; brother to 6f 2yo winner Jazz Club (RPR 101), half-brother to four winners including Bloody Love (Italian Listed-placed 6f/7.5f including 2yo; 93) and Mappa Mundi (6f 2yo; 88); dam Japanese 7f winner; E31,000 yearling by leading sire; related to winners so can run well on debut.

Monocle Rocket

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: By a useful sire and from a quality damline, granddam was a dual stakes winner over 1m2f out of the 1989 Yorkshire Oaks winner Roseate Tern; can run well on debut but others appeal more.

Arakiel

Jockey: C D Hayes Trainer: Andrew McNamara Age/Wt: 2/9-7

50/1

Comment: Third foal; half-brother to French 1m1f winner Starzo Fal; dam French 1m2f 2yo winner, half-sister to 1m4f Listed winner Merveillo, from the family of 1m 2yo Group 1/1m4f Grade 1 winner Ectot; E25,000 yearling comes from a yard not readily associated with 2yo winners.

Mokheefa

Jockey: J M Sheridan Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan Age/Wt: 2/9-2

80/1

Comment: First foal; dam Japanese 7f winner, closely related to Japanese Group 3 1m winner Musee Sultan, out of Japanese 1m-1m2f winner Ask Deputy; by a quality sire in Japan but made only 1,400gns as a yearling; best watched on debut.

Medici Venus

10/1

Comment: Third runner for yard; got off the mark in a Listowel rated race over 1m last autumn and ran creditably in a Navan Group 3 on return; wasn't far behind her stablemate Island Hopping and has a bit to find with her.

Comment: Had hung right in first two starts this term (bit slipped one occasion) but put everything together at Gowran last time, going clear against the far rail over 1m (soft); can't afford to hang on this left-handed track; up in trip on faster ground.

Verdict: Though yet to race on turf, Dundalk maiden winner HEATHER(nap) is a sister to an Irish Derby winner and can score on handicap debut.

Comment: Raced prominently when a snug enough winner of a 1m2.5f Dundalk maiden back in February; runner-up won a handicap off 75 since; reverting to turf should be no problem and she looks a big player.
