MICKEY THE STEEL may be able to strike after a solid run on his comeback at the Curragh. The eight-year-old was third to Smoke Them Out over this trip and remains on the same mark. He can turn the tables on Tai Tam Bay, who was runner-up a week ago and only lost out by a neck so has to be a leading contender. She went up 2lb for that effort and doesn't have a claimer on board this time. Mc Loven is an interesting contender for Sean Davis. The Harry Angel gelding was a three-time winner in England, including on soft ground, and looks to have slipped to a nice mark.
REPOSADO can shed his maiden tag. He's well treated on his old UK form and has been running into form on the AW for this yard recently. With David Egan taking over he is fancied to defeat the consistent Tai Tam Bay who was only narrowly denied on her reappearance and is expected to come on for that. She boasts a very similar profile to Mickey The Steel who will be suited by conditions and is dangerous off his current rating.

BAY OF SUPREMACY won a nursery on soft ground here last September and may be able to gain another C&D success on his return. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding was a solid third on his final start of last term, over slightly further, and Patrick McGettigan takes a useful 7lb off his back. Subiaco comes here fit from the all-weather and could be a danger, although soft ground would be a slight concern. Michael O'Callaghan has already been on the board this season and Shadow Run is one to note on his handicap debut. Colin Keane is booked and blinkers are applied.
An open race can go to OH CECELIA who only won once at 2 but was thought highly enough of to take her chance at Royal Ascot. She has been below par on the AW recently but that should sharpen her up for a turf return and she looks well treated on her autumn nursery form. Her biggest threats may be a couple of handicap debutants from good yards in Shadow Run and Fortuity. Both try headgear for the first time off potentially lenient marks with top jockeys booked.
Very promising debut 2 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Dundalk first-time out; that form boosted several times; top course trainer; returning from a break; strong claims with significant improvement likely.

SINDAGAN had a couple of nice runs last season and may be able to score on his return. The Mehmas gelding was placed behind Port Ferdinand on his debut over C&D before finishing fourth to a well-regarded horse in Causeway at the Curragh. His form looks solid. The obvious danger is Ballydoyle's Siyouni colt Accredited, who was fourth on his sole outing at Dundalk in late October. Improvement is likely this season, although the yard's horses can often take a run at this time of year. Kanzashi, sixth on his racecourse bow, could be another potential improver.
Sindagan and ACCREDITED look a long way clear of their rivals here. The former's debut effort has worked out well and he sets the standard on ratings on his latest run on heavy ground. However the latter has an attractive pedigree and is open to plenty of improvement for top connections. The form of his promising debut on the AW has also been boosted so he is expected to make a winning return. Kanzashi had a poor trip on debut having missed the break and could improve with a smooth passage here. He can do best of the remainder.
Won this last year; well beaten, regressing down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; wide draw; effective 7f, suited by cut; not the force of old.
Has won nine races from 5f to 7f on ground varying from good to soft - heavy. Beaten 17l behind Engines On at 20-1 when last of 12 on his latest outing at Curragh over 7f (soft) in September last year.

SAN AER may be worth a shot on his return to action. The Vocalised gelding was last seen over hurdles at Thurles in late November and had run a big race on the level at Galway previously when losing out by half a length to Ribee. That form looks good now with the winner taking last week's Irish Lincolnshire. Hurricane Ivor won this at a big price last year and is a couple of pounds lower this time. He's one to note, although stable jockey Shane Foley sides with Collecting Coin. He was an impressive maiden winner at Galway before a couple of solid efforts in conditions races and could be an improver this term.
GAME POINT needs to prove his effectiveness over a trip this short but he looks dangerously well treated on his maiden form from last year so is worth chancing. He's proven with give in the ground and his last couple of below par efforts are forgiven as he had excuses. Notably Colin Keane returns to ride ditching Desert Haven who shaped with plenty of promise back from a break on his Flat return last time where he just tired late having been lit up by first time blinkers. He is now 5lb below the mark he gained his last victory off and that came in similar conditions. If he can build on his return he can fight for a place with Quatre Bras who arrives on the back of a good spell on the AW and Collecting Coin who looks on a good mark based on his maiden win.

CAUSEWAY got a good mention from Aidan O'Brien at his press day and he could prove a class act on his handicap debut. The Wootton Bassett colt won a Curragh maiden in good style on his second outing last season. He's expected to progress well and O'Brien even mentioned him in the same breath as Paddington. Breaking Dawn already has a victory under his belt this season, breaking his duck at the Curragh last week. He should appreciate going back up in trip and looks on a nice mark. Son Of Beauty is fit from the all-weather and won his maiden at the second attempt. He's another for the shortlist.
FLANKER JET was given a good ride when winning on the AW last time and now looks well treated stepping into handicaps. He beat a Listed winner last time on level terms and he has run well over 1m before so this longer trip of a stiff 7f won't be an issue. He has a good draw from which to attack and can lead home Breaking Dawn who coped well with the testing ground when off the mark last time. The cheekpieces he wore are retained and he looks a big player back up in trip on his handicap bow with Colin Keane booked. Cotai Lights is another starting out in handicaps who looks fairly treated on his AW victory and he has a notable jockey booking in Oisin Murphy so can also make his presence felt.
Improved again for cosy win when winning Irish Lincolnshire at The Curragh by 1 1/2l last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good or softer; hugely progressive, worth step up in class but will need to improve again.
He has won four times from 7f to 1m on ground varying from soft to soft - heavy. A winner at 20-1 at Curragh over 1m (heavy) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Eastwatch by 1 1/2l.

SHAOOL was impressive towards the end of last season and may be able to pick up where she left off. The Belardo mare ran out an impressive winner in Listed company at Leopardstown in October and soft ground looks a big plus for her. Beset also improved last season, ending with a Listed success at the Curragh. That came over further but a bit of stamina won't do any harm in these conditions. Irish Lincoln winner Ribee is another to note.
Though the form of SHAOOL's victory at this level in the Trigo Stakes last time is nothing special she did it extremely impressively and is expected to follow up on her return. She proved hugely progressive last term with the form of her last handicap win franked in the Balmoral and she has proven herself versatile ground wise. Perhaps the most interesting contender is Tiberius Thunder who hasn't been seen since a defeat in the US last summer. His previous Hampton Court fourth has been boosted by the front pair home and he is open to far more improvement than any of his rivals. He does however have some concerns regarding the ground and his fitness. Beset looks the pick of the Joseph O'Brien pair who hold solid claims having taken the Finale Stakes on her final start last year.

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS was the subject of some positive reports at the press morning at Ballydoyle earlier in the week and she can make a winning debut here. The Dubawi filly is a half-sister to a host of top-level performers, including Gleneagles, and was described as very smart by Aidan O'Brien. Her stablemate White Sand Beach was placed on her three outings last term and sets the standard. She is noted along with Sanctijude.
The standard is set by Sanctijude on her string of placed effort last term at up to 1m on good ground or softer. However she became frustrating throwing a number of good opportunities away including when going down by a nose last time so has some slight enthusiasm concerns. WHITE SAND BEACH also brings in a high level of form and although she is the stable second string on jockey bookings she is the selection here. She finished ahead of a next time out winner last time and is already proven on heavy ground over 1m. Stablemate Drop Dead Gorgeous has to be respected given her attractive pedigree as a half sister to the top class miler Gleneagles.

Only three go to post and the 107-rated HARDY WARRIOR is the one to beat. The Pinatubo colt was last seen finishing a fine fourth to Puerto Rico in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud and this looks like a nice starting point. He holds entries in both the Irish 2,000 Guineas and Derby. Another with Classic entries is the Ballydoyle colt Straight Up. He won a Listowel maiden in good style but made little impression in Group 3 company at Newmarket. Take Charge Star looks booked for third.
HARDY WARRIOR had a future Group 1 winner in behind when winning his maiden last year and he proved he could be competitive at the top level in France in the autumn. That sets a clear standard on form and he is taken to make a winning return ahead of Straight Up who didn't beat much when making a winning debut but overcame greenness to do so. He looked a stayer in the making when beating only 1 home in the Autumn Stakes and should appreciate this stiff track on his return. Take Charge Star beat a couple of next time out winners when off the mark last year so isn't ruled out either but he will need to improve to figure at this level.
