Selected odds by:

(6)

Made In Pimlico

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: B W Duke

33/1

Dragon Pulse colt, unsold as a yearling. Dam a juvenile winner on dirt at sprint trips. Yard not known for success with debutantes but worth a market check given his pedigree.

Form:

(3)

Ming Warrior

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

5/1

No Nay Never colt whose price rose from €8,000 to €75,000 as a yearling. May be in need of further but yard do well with their juveniles and not one to put a line through.

Form:

(5)

Monarch Of Egypt

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

9/10

American Pharoah colt, cost $750,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a 1m winner. Dam a Group 2 winner and half-sister to Group 1 winner Dutch Art. Not an obvious sprinter on pedigree but worthy of maximum respect on debut given his connections.

Form:

(7)

Paso Doble

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

14/1

Dawn Approach colt, half-brother to three winners. Dam a Group 1 winner and sister to another Group 1 winner. Hard to imagine sprint trips being his game long term but he's well bred and worth a market check.

Form:

(4)

Phase After Phase

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

Siyouni colt, cost €130,000 as a foal and 200,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a juvenile/Group 2 winner and half-sister to a useful stayer. Interesting given his beautiful pedigree but may want further than this.

Form:

(2)

Sunday Sovereign

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey

8/1

Equiano colt, cost 12,000 gns as a foal and €30,000 as a yearling. Half brother to four winning sprinters and dam also a sprinter, including as a juvenile. Bred for this sort of test and makes each-way appeal.

Form:

(8)

In The Present

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Karakontie filly, half-sister to 6f winner. Dam a 1m winner and sister to two more winners over middle distances. Yard debutantes can need the experience.

Form:

(1)

Kocasandra

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G P Halpin| T: J P Murtagh

25/1

Kodiac filly, dam a half-sister to a 1m2f Group 2 winner. Sire does well with his sprinters and they tend to go with cut in the ground so not one to rule out on debut here.

Forecasts

Monarch Of Egypt (9/10), Phase After Phase (9/2), Ming Warrior (5/1), Sunday Sovereign (8/1), Paso Doble (14/1), In The Present (16/1), Kocasandra (25/1), Made In Pimlico (33/1)

A field full of debutantes to kick off the card. MONARCH OF EGYPT could hardly be better bred and the son of triple crown winner American Pharaoh looks sure to prove popular. Sunday Sovereign is bred for this job and shouldn't be entirely ruled out while Ming Warrior represents a yard who do well with their juveniles.
