Verdict: A step up in trip is going to help KANSAS who is bred for further than this and he stuck to his task nicely on debut

Brussels

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-5

9/5

Comment: Wootton Bassett colt; cost 300,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to winners Arabic Charm (7f including AW; RPR 90), Love Affairs (6f 2yo; 85) and Lord Lovelace (7f AW; 84); dam French 6.5f (Listed) and 1m AW winner (97); yard won this with debutant Henri Matisse last season and this speedily bred newcomer warrants respect; market may provide clues; yard also run Kansas who has the benefit of a run but Moore seemingly prefers this colt.

Learntodiscover

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 2/9-5

21/10

Comment: Havana Grey colt; cost 140,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to winners Baby Gal (6f 2yo; RPR 75) and Fillyfudge (1m2f including AW; 71); dam 7f-1m2f winner (94), half-sister to 6f-1m winner Miss Bootylishes and 6f 2yo winner Bow Wave; enough speed in his pedigree to suggest he could be involved for a yard that get winning newcomers.

Kansas

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 3

4/1

Comment: Stuck to his task well when beaten 1.5l by a stablemate on debut at Naas a fortnight ago; should relish the step up to 6f given his pedigree and yard's representatives often take giant strides from first run to second; Moore seemingly prefers Brussels but he warrants plenty of respect.

Slaudeen

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 4

Comment: Paid the price for being keen early when fourth of 10 over C&D having gone off a 10-3 shot; may do better now for a yard that do well with juveniles but certainly needs to.

Sand Art

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: Kevin Thomas Coleman Age/Wt: 2/9-5

40/1

Comment: U S Navy Flag colt; dam 5f AW 2yo/6.6f turf winner (RPR 80), sister to German 1m1f Listed winner Cliffs Art, half-sister to Polish 5f winner Salien; yard excel with their sprinters and any market support worth noting.

70/1

Comment: Mehmas colt; cost 65,000gns as a yearling; dam well held 10.5f in France only start, sister to useful 7.5f 2yo/1m2f winner Zucchini, half-sister to winners Zip Top (Group-placed 7f 2yo/2m hurdle) and Zorion (1m Listed), out of 6f/1m 2yo winner; yard 6-189 with 2yos on turf in last five years; probably up against it.

Cool Azul

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: A Oliver Age/Wt: 2/9-5

Comment: Followed up Cork debut win with two placed effort at Listed level last autumn; sent off favourite for her return at Gowran but was too keen; that run may help take the edge off her and she's less exposed than most of these; warrants respect back down in trip.

15/2

Comment: Highly progressive, winning five of his last six and the defeat came on his seasonal reappearance; 4lb rise for recent Leopardstown win is fair and he's clearly a tough sort to pass with some of those wins coming from the front; there's not too much pace in this and has to be respected in his current mood.

Comment: Bids to follow in the footsteps of Starspangledbanner having won Group races down under before a switch to Ballydoyle; this is a stepping stone for Group 1 engagements at Royal Ascot but Australian sprint form is a cut above European in recent years and he's likely to be hard to beat if fully tuned up.

Comment: Went close in a Group 3 at Longchamp last season before a no-show in the Abbaye but ran a huge race on yard debut when beaten half a length by a well-backed French rival in the Group 3 Abernant Stakes at Newmarket; should be a major player if he comes on for that, although wouldn't want to get too far behind at this venue.

Skukuza

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: Ed Dunlop Age/Wt: 4/9-9 F: 12-56 OR: 95

4/1

Comment: Runner-up in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; first run since when close fifth at Haydock (7f) last month; ran on late through beaten rivals on latest at Newcastle (7f); British challenger commands respect with Ryan Moore aboard.

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: W T Farrell Age/Wt: 5/9-9 F: 11420- OR: 95

9/2

Comment: C&D maiden winner who followed up in this race (good) last year from 10lb lower; fair C&D fourth next time in June; improved form when going very close in Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D in August; disappointed in Balmoral at Ascot but big player returning to favoured track on return.

Lord Church

Jockey: O Murphy Trainer: Emmet Mullins Age/Wt: 4/9-1 F: 1132-3 OR: 87

9/2

Comment: Thrived in first half of last season for former yard, racking up a hat-trick of wins at Limerick, Cork and here (1m1f); eyecatching debut run for this stable when never-nearer third of 16 at Limerick (1m) last month; ground-versatile and Oisin Murphy booked.

Orandi

Jockey: J Kearney Trainer: A J Martin Age/Wt: 7/9-11 F: 23-13 OR: 97

13/2

Comment: Five-time winner in France; has won twice at this track for current yard, including the Lincoln over C&D on return in March; just failed when coming from rear to finish third in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) soon after; rain would be a big help for his chances.

Indigo Five

Jockey: W Joyce Trainer: John James Feane Age/Wt: 6/9-11 F: 55-416 OR: 97

9/1

Comment: Fourth behind Orandi in the Lincoln on return; produced career-best when comfortably winning over C&D (soft) 13 days later off 90; made little impression at Gowran (7f, heavy) on latest but has a chance if she can bounce back.

Derry Lad

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: Emmet Mullins Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 0995-8 OR: 81

Comment: One of two for the yard; 4-26 for Kevin Coleman; last won at Pontefract off 77 in June 2023; has since failed to make an impact off his revised mark but wasn't beaten far (3.5l) on seasonal/stable debut at Leopardstown (1m); market watch advised; tongue-tied.

10/1

Comment: Debut win at Tipperary (7f, soft to heavy) last May; model of consistency in defeat since, last seen finishing second behind Indigo Five over C&D (soft) on return in March, hitting the line well; should be in the mix again.

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 2813-3 OR: 85

Slieve Binnian

Jockey: L T McAteer Trainer: David Marnane Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 914-73 OR: 84

16/1

Comment: Four of his five wins have been on AW but is capable on turf too; improved from seasonal/stable debut when third of 16 at Cork (10.5f, soft); first try at this trip since June 2023 and might find it on the sharp side.

Enchanted Garden

Jockey: R P Cleary Trainer: Anthony Mullins Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 1/10-1 OR: 77

18/1

Comment: Lightly raced 4yo has won 3-4 handicaps all over 7f; followed up AW success on handicap debut with Leopardstown win (good); scoped badly in hat-trick bid; another winning return when sent off favourite at Leopardstown last month, pushed out to win cosily; 2lb wrong but good chance up in trip.

Coeur Dor

Jockey: C D Hayes Trainer: D K Weld Age/Wt: 9/10-0 F: 6044- OR: 100

22/1

Comment: Ran well in some hot handicaps last year, most recently fourth of 24 in the Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D last August (1m, good; won that race in 2023), keeping on well and briefly short of room; might need the run but versatile ground-wise; contender.

Comment: Record of 4-20, including over C&D in the summer of 2023; won over this trip at Dundalk in October but weakened out of things quickly in two subsequent AW runs; finished fifth in this race last year, beaten 2.5l; now 1lb lower on return.

Comment: Killarney maiden (1m, good to firm) winner who won her second handicap start at Punchestown (1m1f, good) with a nice bit in hand under prominent tactics; heavy ground possibly to blame for poor comeback run at Gowran; in the mix.

4/1

Comment: Made a highly encouraging debut at Killarney (1m, good to yielding) 11 days ago when a staying-on fourth of 10; step up in trip on a more galloping track should play to his strengths; shortlisted.

Comment: Well-bred son of Sea The Stars failed to make much of an impression on debut at Tipperary (12.5f, yielding) last month; entitled to improve but cheekpieces are reached for already which is a negative.
