€60,000 yearling by Mastercraftsman out of a German 1m1f winner. Useful family but most disappointing in two starts the Curragh (7f, good) and Gowran Park (1m1½f, good to firm) so far.
By Born To The Sea out of a Persian Bold mare, he is from the family of Champion Stakes winner Storming Home. Big prices and well beaten in pair of 1m maidens on the AW at Dundalk in December, off since.
Scat Daddy gelding, cost $380,000 as a yearling, is a half-brother to multiple winners at up to 1m. Best effort (from four) came over C&D in June when just held in second, cheekpieces added now.
A €145,000 yearling, Kodiac colt is a brother to 5f winner Kodicat and half-brother to useful 1m-1m2f winner Balmoral Castle. Need close look on first start for strong yard.
Declaration of War colt is a half-brother to very smart winner up to 1m3f Beethoven and 1m1f winner King of The Romans. Ballydoyle team on song again, needs respecting on first start.
By Captain Marvellous out of a Tagula mare. Cost $2,300 as a three-year-old, beaten a long way on debut at Roscommon last month and plenty improvement required.
A €7,000 yearling, Arakan colt whose dam was a juvenile 6f winner. Facing some strong opposition on debut and market can reveal more of what is expected.
Big Bad Bob gelding. Dam, 1m½f winner, half-sister to smart 6f winner Love Lockdown. Likely to play bit-part role on first look at the racecourse.
Has improved on debut run in a couple of promising starts in the spring. First-time visor likely to assist but may need the run on return to action. Watch betting.
Filly by Tamayuz out of a Giant's Causeway mare. Cost €11,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to winners Earth Drummer and Flyboy. Yard not renowned for their juveniles but did show some promise at Roscommon on debut in July.
Lovelace filly whose dam was a 1m winner and stayed around 1m2f. Doesn't make big appeal on paper for this first start.
Fastnet Rock filly is closely related to useful two-year-old 7½f winner Radiantly and 7f-1m2f winner Elusive Sengia. Needs to improve on last month's starts Killarney and the Curragh to feature at the business end.
Epaulette filly is a half-sister to 1m4f winner Cape Aqraan, plenty going in her favour on breeding and showed some purpose on debut in July over 7f at Fairyhouse. Could be more to come upped in distance.
Canford Cliffs filly was in trouble a long way from home in 1m soft-ground Naas maiden in November on debut, she hasn't been spotted since. Too soon to write her off though.
Holy Roman Emperor filly out of a High Chaparral mare. Progeny making hay in Sha Tin and the United States and she shaped well in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk in January. Worth a closer look on return / turf bow.

FIRST RESPONSE ran into a fair prospect when second at Gowran Park on his second outing. The third home has won since and Ger Lyons' charge should take the beating now with further progress also likely. California Jumbo has run well over C&D already while newcomer's North Face and King's Field are hard to ignore on paper. Zayriyan ran well here on softer going in the spring and is worth noting now back from a break.
