Difficult to oppose POINT GELLIBRAND, who has the experience of two runs and looks to have a fair deal of class about him. Hotel Wren should be on the premises if progressing from his maiden second when last seen, while newcomers Theophilos and Samuel Pepys are worth keeping an eye on the market.
Dr Zempf was one of the best two-year-olds around last season and probably possesses more natural ability than these, but whether he stays this 7f trip is the million-dollar question. With concerns over the 111-rated performer’s stamina, preference is for course-and-distance Group 3 winner GLOUNTHAUNE, who spent a key part of last season on the sidelines but could bounce back this term. It’s possible that Mctigue could outrun his likely odds and hit the frame.
A cracking affair featuring Ireland’s joint-second and fourth highest-rated two-year-old fillies of last season. There is encouragement in SACRED BRIDGE’s pedigree that she will see out this 7f trip and she can get the better of Agartha at the weights if sharp enough for her first start of the campaign. Panama Red proved herself as effective around here on Irish Champions Weekend and needs respecting, while Homeless Songs is a likely improver from two to three. It will be fascinating to see how Contarelli Chapel fares at this distance after 321 days off.
Aidan O’Brien has enjoyed a stranglehold on this race, winning the last four renewals, and it would be no surprise if Scriptwriter or Bluegrass had a say in this. However, preference is for DUKE DE SESSA who was mightily impressive when winning a Group 3 here last term when he had a troubled trip. His trainer also won this with Harzand on his way to Derby glory in 2016. Manu Et Corde’s second to Luxembourg in the Beresford looks like strong form and he could be the main danger with improvement likely over this new trip.
A 4lb rise for his handicap debut win in Britain looks on the lenient side for BRASIL POWER (nap). Provided he’s ready to roll on his seasonal reappearance, this step up in trip should be ideal. Cyclamen, representing last year’s winning yard, is another likely improver trying 1m2f for the first time, and the handicapper has given Atlantic Island a squeak from his opening mark of 74.

Craft Irish has solid claims on just her third start after winning at Dundalk last time but the widest draw is a little off-putting. Coins Cross wasn’t beaten far in a couple of competitive handicaps at the back-end of last term and his mark looks workable, but a chance is taken on TYRCONNELL. He’s been running some big races in defeat on AW this winter, including when only beaten a length last week. With race-fitness on his side, he might be able to break his duck on turf.
Massaman benefitted from a strong pace at the Curragh last week but he may not confirm the form with JAAFEL who had a poor trip and is now 6lb better off with the winner. Focus Required, who set the early gallop last week, could be involved while Zahee is a danger to all from his lower turf mark.
