13/8

11/1

AW maiden winner. Seemed to show very useful form when sixth in last year's Irish 2000 Guineas but well below that level in his 2 subsequent 3-y-o starts. First-time cheekpieces are reached for on his return to the track.

Form: 0/1605-

4/1

Won on 6.5f Leopardstown debut last July. 7/1, 3¾ lengths third of 14 to Aussie Girl in listed race at the Curragh (6f, soft) only other start. Off 7 months. Likely capable of better.

Forecasts

Tarawa (11/8), Mutasarref (13/8), Yosemite Valley (7/4), Special Wan (4/1), Quar Shamar (11/1), Zenga (25/1), Genesis (33/1)

Recent Gladness winner YOSEMITE VALLEY might have a fitness edge over the reappearing Tarawa, who knocked on the door at listed/Group level last season. Mustasareef, who was behind the selection in the Gladness, looks best of the remainder.
