This doesn't look like a particularly strong contest for the venue and KHAFAR may be able to make a winning start for Paddy Twomey. The Dubawi filly made a promising debut when runner-up for Charlie Hills at Newbury last August but didn't progress on two subsequent outings on the all-weather. This looks like a nice opportunity for her. Goomah hinted at ability in a couple of runs last season and could be a danger. The Sioux Nation filly was mid-division on debut and met some traffic when sixth at Dundalk in September. Money for the Fozzy Stack-trained Valentino Eclipse on debut would be noteworthy.
KHAFAR may just need this on her stable debut but she sets a clear standard on her UK form and has joined a shrewd yard which can get them ready first time so she is the selection. She proved she acted on turf on debut and a repeat of that would be enough to see off Goomah who also returns from a break but has seen her debut form boosted at Listed level. Carmel Valley was given too much to do last time but finished strongly and could fill the places here if ridden more positively.
Very promising debut just out-battled by more experienced rival runner-up beaten a head in a maiden at Cork only start; effective 10f, should get 12f, acts on good; debut form franked, should be winning soon.
Half-brother to Mac Bobo, won four times between and 1m 3f. Beaten a head by Enceladus when second of 16 at 9-4fav on his racecourse debut at Cork over 1m 2f (good - yielding) last month.

CANNES may be able to make it third-time lucky. The Sea The Stars colt has been runner-up on both outings to date, including when chasing home Asakir on his return over 1m2f here last month. He kept on well close home and stepping up in trip should suit. He can confirm form with Antigua, who was fourth behind him last time and now sports cheekpieces for the first time. A bigger danger may be the Dermot Weld-trained Almazann. The Zarak colt ran a big race on his debut at Cork 16 days ago when losing out by a head to the more experienced Enceladus. He also steps up in trip now and is entitled to improve a bit from his first outing.
ALMAZANN was only narrowly denied by a more experienced rival on debut but is expected to make amends here. That form has been boosted and sets a clear standard ahead of Cannes who was turned over at short odds here last time but still showed improvement when upped to 10f. He should stay this extra distance and can pull clear of the remainder likely headed by Antigua who left his 2yo form behind on his reappearance for a top stable.
Returned to form benefitting from reappearance and patient ride off strong pace when second beaten 1/2l in Park Express Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh latest; consistent over 7/8f on easy ground; won weak Group race last year but generally consistent.
Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on ground varying from good to heavy. Beaten 1/2l by Celestial Orbit when second of 10 at 22-1 on her latest outing in the Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Park Express Stakes at Curragh over 1m (soft - heavy) last month.

CITY OF MEMPHIS was impressive on her comeback at Gowran Park and can make a deeper mark now in stakes company. The lightly-raced Sioux Nation filly was a fine fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on just her second outing last May. Having returned with that cosy success 18 days ago, this looks like an appropriate stepping stone. Carla Ridge achieved a mark of 110 after a wide-margin success in testing conditions at the Curragh over 6f. She sets the standard and it will be interesting to see how she fares. Princess Child ran well when runner-up last time at this level and is another for the shortlist.
The standard is set by Fairy Bridge winner Princess Child who proved she was in good heart when runner up in the Park Express last time. However the form of her Group win is weak enough and she could be vulnerable under a penalty to the unexposed CITY OF MEMPHIS who outclassed her rivals on her reappearance. Prior to that she had been seen finishing midfield in the Irish Guineas in the sole defeat of her career so she is clearly highly regarded and should have much more to offer this term. Carla Ridge looked a Group horse in the making when a 10l Listed winner at the end of last term. She may ideally want some rain but isn't ruled out stepping up in class and trip on her return.
Ran to form beaten 3l in Prix Daniel Wildenstein (Group 2) at Longchamp last time; effective 1m, much better with give; consistent dual Group winner in France, competitive on stable debut down in class.

ALCANTOR can make a winning start for Joseph O'Brien. Having won three Group 3s and been placed twice at the top level in France, the New Bay entire sets the standard in this Listed contest. Connections can hope a change of scenery will do him good this term. English raider Excellent Believe already has a solid run under his belt this season, having finished third in the Doncaster Mile Stakes in late March. He could be a big player. Dual course and distance winner Mutasarref has a rating of 109 but needs to improve on last month's seasonal return.
ALCANTOR showed a consistent level of form in France where he was a multiple Group winner and escaping a penalty he should have too much for these rivals on his stable debut. He would ideally want some rain but a sound surface would suit course specialist Mutasarref who didn't handle the soft ground on his reappearance. The veteran has proven consistent at this level for some time and looks the obvious danger along with the sole filly in the line up Catalina Delcarpio. She was highly tried last year after a debut victory here and shaped well in the Park Express on her return until her fitness gave way.
Yard has won last two runnings of race; good effort running to form off the front when second beaten 1/2l in Ballysax Stakes (Group 3) here latest; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; stays 10f, acts on any; high-class and consistent.
A winner at 1m 1f on good - yielding ground. Beaten 1/2l by Christmas Day when second of 9 at 17-2 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.

PIERRE BONNARD can bounce back after an underwhelming effort on his return in the Ballysax over C&D last month. The Camelot colt started this season as the main Derby hope for Ballydoyle but failed to fire first time up, with his rider reporting he had given a couple of blows and can leave the run behind. Aidan O'Brien was far from despondent after that performance and much better can be expected. His stablemate Endorsement, who ran a cracker to fill the runner-up berth, and James J Braddock, who was fifth, reoopose from the Ballysax and are others to consider.
PIERRE BONNARD was behind a couple of these in the Ballysax Stakes on his return but he found so little it is likely he was desperately in need of the outing. He signed off last year with victory in a Group 1 and escapes a penalty for that so if back to his best he will be tough to beat. Stablemate Endorsement had the run of the race from the front in that trial but showed a willing attitude to hang on for second and could have more to offer in the first time cheekpieces. He looks the biggest danger ahead of Shaihaan who idled in front when landing a maiden last time so is likely to progress again.
Never threatened down the field in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown most recent; hood first time; hard to recommend.

Fifth over a mile here on debut, BEATIFIC can benefit from a step up in trip. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly shaped with plenty of promise when racing up with the pace throughout that day and, with the runner-up franking the form in no uncertain terms with a Group 3 win next time, she looks the one to side with. The stable couldn't be in better form in recent weeks and hold every chance of adding further gains here. Believed is also entitled to come on from an encouraging introduction at Dundalk. Fourth on that occasion, both the second and third have won subsequently. Newcomer My First Rose has to be respected for Dermot Weld.
A strong maiden can go to BEATIFIC who ran well for a long way over 1m here on debut behind some more experienced rivals. That form has already been franked at Group level and she is expected to improve for the step up in trip. The same can be said of Johanna Walsh who has shown high quality form in both of her starts to date and looks the main danger on the ratings. Pink Coral challenged too early over C&D on debut but still ran well for a long way so should also be a threat along with newcomers My First Rose and Wickedly Wootton.

Third over course and distance last month, DIAMOND EXCHANGE could go a couple of places better. Having her first handicap appearance on that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly made much of the running before weakening late on. Keithen Kennedy, who was on board when the daughter of Wootton Bassett won her maiden at Dundalk in January, is back in the saddle and his 5lb claim could prove crucial in such a tight-knit contest. Candleford Green might prove well treated on her first start outside of maiden company. Willie Mullins' filly got off the mark on her final start of the campaign last October. Three-time scorer Glyndwr is an interesting contender on his debut for Gerard O'Leary.
An open race where AKECHETA may be able to defy top weight. She was disappointing on her first couple of starts back this term but she showed a bit more back on a sound surface last time and was capable of placing off 7lb higher than her current mark last term. Truth Be Told relished the step up to middle distances when a winner on his final start of last year. He surely has more to offer this term and could prove the main challenger ahead of Diamond Exchange who has been steadily progressing. Her latest run is worth marking up as she kicked clear too soon.
Improved for debut experience up in trip when winning a maiden at Dundalk by 1/2l last time; bred for 10-12f; good connections and can surely improve again now handicapping.

Disappointing handicap debut beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; gets a mile, seems to act on soft; must bounce back.
Unplaced in all four starts. Beaten 7l behind Arctic Assassin at 50-1 when seventh of 13 on her latest outing at Curragh over 1m (soft) last month.

With the step up to this trip looking exactly what she needs, DREOILIN can register a first career win. A staying-on second over 1m2f at Navan on her penultimate start, the Jim Bolger-trained filly was sent off favourite back at a mile at the Curragh last time. She again found one too good but this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better. Eniac gave the impression that he needed further when keeping on for third over a mile at this venue in October and the son of Siyouni is one to keep a close eye on. Servare failed to supplement his Navan success when only fifth at Cork, but first-time cheekpieces could see him in a better light now.
BAY OF STARS relished the step up to 12f when breaking his maiden on the AW last time and is expected to follow up off a lenient opening mark. His debut form has been franked and he is chosen ahead of hat trick seeker Keepsgettingbetter who has been steadily progressing as she goes up in trip. She is another who will need to prove her effectiveness on turf though. Eniac needed the run last time and looks to have been given a workable opening mark judged on his penultimate run at this venue. He should relish this step up in trip and can make his presence felt.
