Raydari is an interesting newcomer here for John Oxx and Johnny Murtagh and a positive move in the market would speak volumes of his chances but GONEBEYONDTHEMOON has the racecourse experience under her belt and looks to have enough ability to strike. She was two and a half lengths behind recent Nijinsky Stakes winner Laughing on her last outing and that form looks solid enough. The others with form would need to improve considerably to get involved, while Missie Ella and Rodriguez are a couple more interesting debutants.
Gonebeyondthemoon looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to break her duck in maidens, setting a clear standard in this, and she should have too much class for these. Raydari makes most appeal of the newcomers, whilst Jim Bolger's Greasai is bred to be better than he showed at the Curragh.

Prophesy disappointed favourite-backers on his last outing but was a close-up third and the Aidan O'Brien runner commands respect here but it could be worth taking a chance on CHEERFUL GIVER. Form behind Tough As Nails and Aaraas looks strong enough, with the former subsequently running Coventry Stakes winner Power very close at the Curragh and he looks the value call. Vegas Rocks is one to keep an eye on and has each-way claims if building on his Leopardstown debut run.
Cheerful Giver brings the best form to the table and has the assistance of the promising 7 lb claimer Ronan Whelan for the first time, so he's the selection ahead of Prophesy and Vegas Rocks.

ONE OF THREE only narrowly scored over this C&D last week but she remains relatively well treated on the pick of her form, despite a 5lb rise. Polly Floyer is the obvious danger to the selection but having her first run of the season, the filly may just need the outing. Copper Dock is improving for each effort this term and could be the each-way value at a tempting price.
Plenty are in with chances in this handicap but a tentative vote goes to Good Shot Noreen, who has given the strong impression in 4 starts so far that we're yet to see the best of her. Eur Elusive showed up well for a long way last time and is a threat, while Copper Dock should be on the bridle for longer than most and looks a good back-to-lay option.

Dermot Weld's unbeaten Malayan Mist must be feared stepping up in class on her hat-trick bid but it might be worth siding with BOB LE BEAU. He has solid form having won a hot 1m4f Curragh handicap in May and found only Viscount Nelson too good back over 1m2f last time. The return to a longer trip will suit. Adilapour is favourably treated by the conditions of the race, while Unity could run into a place if stepping up on her comeback effort.
Bob Le Beau sets a clear standard and seems sure to take plenty of beating, especially as his tactical versatility will stand him in good stead in this small field. Malayan Mist is unexposed and could emerge as his biggest danger, though Adilapour will also benefit from this longer trip.

LUDDENMORE looks to have put his disappointing form of last term behind him after recording a creditable third over C&D before a spin over the hurdles and if improved again he would hold every chance in what looks a competitive betting heat. Hangar Five looks to have come of age and is one to keep onside, while Goldplated looks dangerously handicapped and could easily get serious.
This isn't as competitive as the numbers would suggest and Hangar Five looks a sound selection after a couple of good placed efforts. Via Del Corso is unexposed at this trip and should be thereabouts, too, while Ocean Bluff is bred to be considerably better than his ITC rating of 51 and could be livened up by the fitting of blinkers.

HESAMIYA was outpaced over 1m1f on her debut at Gowran last month and is expected to build upon that performance with the benefit of the experience behind her now she is stepped up in trip. Kastania left behind a moderate debut effort when fifth at the Curragh on her reappearance and could feasibly better that effort now tackling 1m4f for the first time. Let It Snow made a pleasing debut when runner-up at Tipperary on debut and, as a daughter of Galileo, is worth monitoring in the market. Aidan O'Brien's newcomer, Sloane Street, is another to consider.
A couple of Aga Khan-owned horses top the shortlist here, namely Hesamiya and Kastania, with slight preference just given to the latter. Let It Snow made a promising start at Tipperary and is another one to consider.

NATURAL HIGH warrants respect at the weights and gets the vote now tackling 2m for the first time on the level. The selection landed a Galway bumper over this trip on debut and hinted, when a staying on second at the same venue last month, that he'd appreciate the step up to this trip. Zaralabad stays this far and is feared most at the weights, but is currently on a losing run that dates back to August. Dancing Tornado, second in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November, is interesting on his Flat debut, although may find this trip on the sharp side.
Zaralabad would take plenty of beating in this if back to his best and could well be underestimated in a well-contested event. Natural High and Jack Cool are capable of much better than they showed last time and should be closely monitored in the betting.
