Velveteen, representing last year's winning trainer/jockey combination, had Brave Anna (eighth), How (ninth) and Lady Beware (10th) all behind when sixth on her debut over 5f at Naas and she should be able to at least confirm placings with those rivals, but MAGICAL FIRE gets the vote to score. This half-sister to Group 3 winner Hawsmorr was a big eye-catcher on her debut over this trip at Naas, starting slowly before finishing fast to snatch sixth, and she will have no doubt learnt plenty from that experience. Newcomers Hunaina, Miss Cogent, Pepperminty and Sweetasever are all worth a market check.
HOW was down the field on her 5f Naas debut but the fact that Ryan Moore takes over in the saddle now suggests that this sister to Minding is expected to prove a totally different proposition at the second time of asking. The other O'Brien runners Brave Anna and Sweetasever also merit plenty of respect, while Velveteen is a likely improver for last year's winning stable.
He has won three times from 5f to 6f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Finished 1 1/4l behind Ardhoomey when fourth of 8 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Navan over 5f (good to firm) earlier this month.

A typically tough Curragh handicap to assess over the six furlong course and a chance is taken on IN SALUTEM under Pat Smullen to get his head in front. The six-year-old ran an excellent race behind a potential Group horse last time, and with nothing in that kind of category likely to be lurking here, he can take this with just slight improvement from that recent effort. Master Speaker won this last year under Ryan Moore, and the Martin Hassett-trained gelding must be feared again off just 2lb higher than he was 12 months ago. Penny Pepper won't be lacking for stamina towards the end but could find the early pace of a few of these too hot, with the consistent Mr Right expected to launch a bold bid once more if any further rain falls.
IN SALUTEM was second in this last year and ran a cracker despite not being seen to best effect at Navan last week. He could be the way to go with Pat Smullen taking over. Kasbah was just behind him there and definitely has another race in him soon, while Bubbly Bellini can never be dismissed around here.
Full brother to Cougar Mountain, won twice at 6f and 1m including a Group 3 race. A winner at 5f on heavy ground. Beaten 6l by Psychedelic Funk when second of 7 at 2-1 on his latest outing at Naas over 6f (yielding - soft) earlier this month.

Aidan O'Brien has a particularly strong hand in this contest, especially with CARAVAGGIO and Roly Poly in the field. The preference is marginally for the former because he looked to be a potentially top-class performer when successful at Dundalk last month. That said, the latter could well take a high ranking amongst the juvenile fillies this season but it is a big ask to take on the colts at this stage of her career. Ready To Roc beat a nice horse (who already had experience) on his debut and he looks to be a colt with plenty of potential. Ambiguity and Mister Trader also have solid claims today.
CARAVAGGIO was strong in the market and looked ultra-impressive when making a winning debut at Dundalk last month, and the son of Scat Daddy gets the nod to follow-up. Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand so his other representative Roly Poly is feared, whilst Ready to Roc is also deserving of respect.
He has won three times at 6f on good to firm and soft ground. Beaten 7l behind Magical Memory at 16-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Duke Of York Clipper Logistics Stakes at York over 6f (good) earlier this month.

DON'T TOUCH was highly progressive in handicaps last season, striking in a Newcastle maiden in May and signing off his five-race campaign unbeaten after landing the Ayr Gold Cup. He looked better than ever when accounting for the 111-rated Baccarat in a conditions heat at Haydock recently and looks ready for this rise in grade. Woodlands winner Fort Del Oro continues on an upward curve too and is considered the main danger ahead of streetwise pair Maarek and Gordon Lord Byron.
DON'T TOUCH isn't flashy but every time he's been asked a bigger question he's delivered more and he can take the step up to Group company in his stride under Tony Hamilton. The similarly progressive Fort Del Oro looks the obvious main danger, though it also wouldn't be a surprise if Gordon Lord Byron proved a different proposition with a run under his belt.
He has won four times from 6f to 7f on good and good - yielding ground. Beaten 15l behind Galileo Gold at 4-5fav when 12th of 13 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Qipco 2000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket over 1m (good to soft) last month.

The leading trainer with some 10 wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas is a certain Aidan O'Brien, responsible for six of the last eight winners of today's Classic. Launching a four-pronged assault this season, all eyes will be on Air Force Blue who has questions to answer following a disappointing effort in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket three weeks ago. Europe's champion two-year-old last season, the son of War Front was sent off a shade of odds-on to win the first Classic of the season at HQ but didn't travel with the same zest and purpose which was seen to devastating effect when he racked up three Group One wins as a juvenile. The course winner cannot be overlooked and is expected to bounce back to form, but there appeared to be no fluke about GALILEO GOLD's triumph at Newmarket and the son of Paco Boy can go in again for shrewd handler Hugo Palmer. No stranger to Classic success on these shores, Palmer has opted against a tilt at next month's Derby at Epsom and will instead stay at a mile with his colt, a distance over which he beat Air Vice Marshal (fourth) last month and Shogun (sixth) when third in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp last October. Awtaad enhanced his Irish 2,000 Guineas credentials when beating Blue De Vega (second) in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes here at the beginning of the month and could be one for the each-way players if all eight stand their ground.
GALILEO GOLD can emulate Gleaneagles and complete the English/Irish 2000 Guineas double under Frankie Dettori. Air Force Blue obviously has a bit to prove after his no show at Newmarket but his juvenile dominance is still in the fresh in the memory and it would be no surprise were he the one to give Hugo Palmer's charge most to do. The progressive Awtaad also merits respect.
She has won four times from 5f to 7f on ground varying from good to firm to good - yielding. Third of 7 behind Dolce Strega beaten 1 1/2l at 8-11fav on her latest outing here over 7f (soft) earlier this month.

The most interesting focal point is the return of Lucida who was arguably unlucky on all of her starts last season and wouldn't have benefited tactically with how the Falmouth Stakes was run at Newmarket on her final start when behind Amazing Maria. She then suffered an injury and was retired, but it is noteworthy that connections have had a change of heart and returned her to training considering she would already be a highly valuable broodmare. The daughter of Shamardal has strong claims here but preference is for IRISH ROOKIE, who shaped well on her return at Newmarket when fourth behind Usherette in the Dahlia and won't mind any of the forecast rain dropping back to a mile. Devonshire could well be in here as a pacemaker for Lucida but has her own claims having run well on her return to action in March when shaping as though she would improve as the season progresses along with Ainippe. The others have plenty to find on all known form.
It's 10 months since we've seen LUCIDA, but she looked a class act in 2015, so it's worth chancing that her ability can carry her through this despite others having a fitness edge. Irish Rookie and Ainippe should have come on for their returns and, while both have a bit to find if the selection is on her game, neither of them are completely exposed.
She has won three times from 7f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Finished 12l behind Beautiful Romance when sixth of 7 at 33-1 on her latest outing in the Group 2 Betfred Middleton Stakes at York over 1m 2f (good to firm) earlier this month.

ALVEENA justified strong market support when exploiting a 7lb lower mark at Leopardstown last month and there could be a lot more to come from this lightly-raced filly. Representing powerful connections, the daughter of Medicean hasn't looked backed since getting off the mark at Galway last September and, two wins from as many starts over this trip, the progressive four-year-old is one to keep on the right side of this year. Pique Sous has to overcome a 700-day absence and is entitled to strip fitter for the run with a repeat Queen Alexandra Stakes bid at Royal Ascot next month potentially on the cards. Xebec appreciated the step back up to this trip when finishing a head second at Leopardstown 13 days ago and he joins Shadagann and Ringside Humour on the shortlist.
The unexposed improver ALVEENA sticks out like a sore thumb in a race full of exposed type, so she's taken to follow up her comfortable success at Leopardstown as she continues on the progressive path. Moonmeister's latest effort was encouraging enough to give him a shout from a fair mark and Xebec would be a threat if the blinkers had the same effect second time round.
